Institutional constraints to higher education datafication
Strong claims are made by both higher education policymakers and institutional leaders about the advantages that can be brought about through ‘datafication’ (i.e. the quantification of human activities through digital means). Nevertheless, we know relatively little about how university cultures and processes may impinge on the rolling out of data practices, particularly in relation to administrative data (rather than that collected through learni…
Widening participation to sandwich courses
Within the UK, sandwich courses, i.e. degree programmes that include a year spent on a work placement, usually during the third year of a four-year course, are increasingly offered by higher education institutions to maximise the proportion of their graduates moving into employment and, particularly, jobs that are deemed ‘graduate-level’. Indeed, there is evidence of a strong positive correlation between participation in sandwich courses and empl…
Do water risk management strategies lead to environmental upgrading in global value chains? A view from South Africa's export fruit industry
Environmental upgrading is becoming increasingly important in terms of leveraging sustainability in global value chains (GVCs). Existing research focuses on environmental upgrading as a process, while the drivers and outcomes often remain unclear. We address this limitation through a qualitative case study of the South African fruit industry based on interviews and documents, where we investigate the drivers and outcomes of environmental upgradin…

It is argued that the types of protest utilising the Olympic platform change over time and reflect distinct historical phases of the Games. Contemporary anti-Olympic and Olympic watchdog campaigns are characterised b…
