Prometheanism in Ski/Snowboard Media: Messages About the Environment in Warren Miller “Docu-tainment” Films
This study analyzes environmental discourses in Warren Miller Entertainment ski films. We consider if and how these discourses have pedagogical potential with respect to pro-environment communication and how opportunities to offer pro-environment messages might have been missed. Findings suggest that prominent environmental discourses in these films reflect Promethean views of nature as something that can be (and should be) dominated by humans to…
Housing and Papering Over the Cracks of the Welfare State: Exploring the Role and Impact of Technology as Part of Housing Service Provision in an Era of Multi-level Precarity
The UK welfare landscape is increasingly challenging due to ongoing austerity involving public sector cuts, service retrenchment, and withdrawal of statutory responsibilities. This article shows that as the welfare state contracts, precarity increases and responsibility for service provision is progressively devolved to front-line individuals and service users. To illustrate, the article examines the use of assistive and everyday technologies to …
Understanding the intersectional stigma of ageing, disability, and place: A systematic literature mapping review
Stigma is a key concept for social scientists interested in how certain groups in society are judged and treated negatively. Within housing studies this scholarship reflects longstanding interests within the discipline regarding the spatial impacts of social and urban policies on both people, and the places in which they live. We augment these debates by advocating for a more intersectional understanding of how stigma is shaped by identity. It pr…
Agency and the Limits of Responsibility: Co-Management of Technology-Enabled Care in Supported Housing
Since at least 2012, UK housing providers (and policy makers) have introduced policies aimed at developing autonomy and independence among service users, through an agenda sometimes referred to as ‘responsibilisation’. This paper considers the role that technologies play in this agenda, through an analysis of how wellbeing and independence are facilitated amongst older social housing tenants. Based on case studies of four supported housing scheme…
Dangerous care: Developing theory to safeguard older adults in caring relationships in the UK
Purpose Most abuse affecting older adults in the UK, as across Europe, takes place within caring relationships, where one person is disabled and needs care/support. This paper critically appraises two of the key theoretical explanations. First, feminist theories of “intimate partner abuse” tell us that it is mostly men who perpetrate abuse against women. Second, “carer strain”: the stress caused by caring responsibilities, often with inadequate h…
Partnership and Personalisation in Personal Care: Conflicts and Compromises
Background: Personalisation in social care services has become a feature of the delivery of long-term care for disabled people in many developed welfare states. Aim: Scotland has used the devolution of health and social care powers to develop a personalisation scheme (known as ‘Self-directed Support’). The authors apply a theoretical and empirical framework to understand the experience of contemporary disabled users of personalised services. Meth…
Inclusive Social Lettings Practice: Opportunities to Enhance Independent Living for Disabled People
Appropriate housing is a key element of independent living for disabled people, yet research evidence confirms the continuing, often negative, impact of unsuitable housing on their lives. This article examines access to social rented housing as a route to independent living, through a study of lettings practice for accessible and adapted homes. Drawing on the social and social-relational models of disability, the study adopted a disabled-led, co-…
How trainee physical education teachers in England write, use and evaluate lesson plans
Traditionally, all physical education initial teacher training (PEITT) courses in England, and in many other countries, require trainee teachers to complete detailed lesson plans for each lesson they teach in their school-based practicum and then to evaluate those lessons. However, there has been a limited amount of research on lesson planning in PEITT generally or in England specifically. The purpose of this study therefore was to gain an initia…
A Study of Current Practice in Liaison Between Primary and Secondary Schools in Physical Education
The purpose of this study was to investigate current practice in liaison between primary and secondary schools to promote continuity and progression in physical education during the transfer of pupils from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 3 and to identify constraints to engaging in liaison activities. A questionnaire was completed by the head of the physical education department in secondary schools in five local education authorities in England that re…
