Negotiating the circular economy in a shrinking post-mining region: Material legacies and social circularity in Parkstad Limburg
This article critically examines the role of the circular economy in urban and regional governance, focusing on its social and political dimensions, often overlooked in favour of technical and economic considerations. Drawing on concepts of material and path dependence, it highlights the historical embeddedness of materials in spatial and community contexts, arguing that effective circular economy governance must extend beyond technocratic models…
Deplatforming sex education on Meta: Sex, Power, and Content Moderation
Public health research has heralded social media as a space where sex education can be delivered to young people. However, sexual health organisations are increasingly concerned that restrictive content moderation practices impede their ability to distribute sex education content on social media platforms. To better understand these experiences, this article uses an autoethnographic case study of my experience navigating Meta's content moderation…

Mapping the emergence of the circular economy within the governance paths of shrinking cities and regions: A comparative study of Parkstad Limburg (NL) and Satakunta (FI)
This paper studies the interplay between governance priorities concerning urban shrinkage and the circular economy (CE) agenda in the cases of Parkstad Limburg (NL) and Satakunta (FI), aiming to assess the potential of European circular imaginaries for creating novel development pathways in shrinking cities and regions. The findings reveal that the CE agenda emerges within specific sectors due to various influences, including European institution…
Circular cities: Planning for circular development in European cities
Circular development could produce more resource efficient, ecologically regenerative and resilient cities. This development pathway offers many ecological, social and economic benefits. However, there are also many challenges to implementation, not least a heavy reliance on the market to transform urban systems of provision. A regulatory and policy framework is essential for a circular transformation, until circular activities become competitive…

The role of spatial planning in transitioning to circular urban development
Circular development necessitates the socio-ecological transformation of our urban systems. It requires that “wasted” resources are looped; the ecological regenerative capacity and adaptive capacity of urban systems are developed. The end result will be healthier urban ecosystems, with low levels of resource consumption and wastage. Spatial planning potentially has a crucial role to play in the delivery of circular development. However, it has an…
Circular cities
A circular approach to the way in which we manage the resources consumed and produced in cities – materials, energy, water and land – will significantly reduce the consumption of finite resources globally. It will also help to address urban problems including resource security, waste disposal, greenhouse gas emissions, pollution, heating, drought and flooding. Taking a circular approach can also tackle many other socio-economic problems afflictin…
Women vs Feminism: Why We All Need Liberating from the Gender Wars
Statistics tell us there has never been a better time to be a woman but feminists are quick to point out that women are still victims of everyday sexism. This title explores what life is like for women today. It’s time to ditch a feminism that appears remote from the concerns of most women and, worse, pitches men and women against each other.
Women vs feminism: Why We All Need Liberating From the Gender Wars
There's never been a better time to be a woman. Thanks to those feminists who fought for liberation, young women today have freedom and opportunities their grandmothers could barely have imagined. Girls do better at school than boys and are more likely to go to university. As a result, women are taking more of the top jobs and the gender pay gap has all but disappeared. Yet rather than encouraging women to seize the new possibilities open to them…
Can low carbon city experiments transform the development regime
The paper explores the ability of urban transition experiments to transform the development regime in which they are embedded. Using three European case studies – BedZed, Vauban and Hammarby – it investigates the processes of broadening and scaling-up within cities, nations and across cities globally; and finds that transition experiments do influence the development regime in which they are embedded. The impact of experiments on the development …
A critical exploration of changing definitions of public good in relation to higher education
Discussion of the relationship between higher education (HE) and public good can be traced to Kant's argument that universities critically held society to account. Mill, Newman and Arnold suggested knowledge itself was a public good. In the twentieth century, economists argued education could drive national technological progress. More recently the public good of HE has been linked to social justice through increasing social mobility. In this pap…

The neoliberal regime in English higher education: Charters, consumers and the erosion of the public good
The restructuring of higher education (HE) according to neoliberal market principles has constructed the student consumer as a social category, thereby altering the nature, purpose and values of HE. In England, a key government attempt to champion the rights of the student consumer has taken the form of institutional charters which indicate the level of services students can expect to receive and what they will be expected to do in return.

Raising expectations or constructing victims? Problems with promoting social inclusion through lifelong learning
Whilst in government, New Labour defined social exclusion as a state of ‘disadvantage’ resulting from individual psychology: namely, low aspirations, a lack of self-confidence or moral deviancy. Engagement in lifelong learning was considered a means of promoting social inclusion and of overcoming such disadvantage. This policy review explores how such a psychological approach to post-compulsory education impacts upon the more traditional educatio…

The Two-Headed Deer: Illustrations of the Ramayana in Orissa
India's epic poem, the Ramayana, is a dramatic, ever-evolving tale of a prince and his bride, their adventures and dilemmas, and demons. Joanna Williams studies the art of the Ramayana in Orissa, a region known for its elegantly carved temples. There she researched both literary and visual art works, interviewed artists, and observed them at work. With depth and originality, Williams considers Indian art tells a story in distinctive ways. Her nar…

Criticizing and Evaluating the Visual Arts in India: Preliminary Example
By what standards should we judge works of art from another culture or era? We are generally used to the idea that understanding the meaning of an image requires consideration of its distinctive context-literary, religious, social, and so on. Evaluating the quality of a work of art is another specific case of this broad dilemma of understanding. Do we evaluate good and bad images by the "proper" criteria and in the way that is appropriate to them
Training Kindergarten Children to Discriminate Letter-Like Forms
To learn to differentiate and recognize letters is one of the primary steps in learning to read, and this task is often a major source of difficulty in reading instruction (Vernon, 1957). Not only are certain letters of the alphabet quite similar in form to others, but in some cases they are merely rotations and reversals of others, e.g., b, d, and q, p. These letters, in fact, produce the most confusion and difficulty (Smith, 1928; Gibson et al.…

Retention of Introductory and Review Programs as a Function of Response Mode
While there have been many studies of the effectiveness of active participation in programed instruction, most have presented data only from tests administered soon after the completion of the program (Evans, Glaser, and Homme, 1960; Keislar and McNeil, 1962; Williams, 1963). In general, performance is better when there is active participation, although often the comparisons between response modes have not reached conventional levels of significa…
