Participation, autonomy and control are shared concepts within older people's interpretations of independence
To date, support for independence in older people has been largely focused on achieving practice- and policy-orientated goals such as maintenance of function, remaining in one's own home and reducing the impact of receiving care. Uncertainty about what independence means to older people means that these goals may not align with what matters and should be considered for a more person-centred approach to independence. This study aimed to improve un…
The Story of a Diary
Robert McKay (1889–1964) a servi dans le Royal Army Medical Corps pendant la Grande Guerre, consignant ses expériences et ses observations dans des notes prises sur le Front de l’Ouest. Ces notes constituent la base du journal qu’il a rédigé à la main à son retour en Irlande et au front intérieur après la guerre. En 1976, l’Imperial War Museum (IWM) est devenu dépositaire d’une copie dactylographiée qui a récemment été numérisée. Cet article mont…
Town Councils as Policy Instruments for Community Engagement
During the time of successive lockdowns due to the COVID pandemic, local organisations faced increased demand for ensuring that residents and businesses were kept informed and supported while simultaneously waiting for guidance to be passed down from central government to local authorities and on to communities. These community-based organisations include 10,000 town councils comprising the lowest level of government of England and covering 40% o…
The New Normal or More of the Same? Everyday Sexism and the Response of Traditional Media to an Internet Sensation during Lockdown
This article examines the responses of traditional media to an incident of everyday sexism that occurred in a town council meeting held online during the first lockdown of the Covid-19 pandemic. The incident received a brief period of notoriety consequent on the uploading on to Twitter of a 30-second video of the complete video of the meeting, which went viral during the third lockdown. The context for the incident and the media response is provi…
Healthy Parent Carers
BACKGROUND: Parent carers of disabled children are at increased risk of physical and mental health problems. The Healthy Parent Carers (HPC) programme is a manualised peer-led group-based programme that aims to promote parent carer health and wellbeing. Previously, the programme had been delivered in person, with recruitment and delivery managed in a research context. This study explored implementation by two delivery partner organisations in the…
An urban experiment in small town sustainability in the UK
Member towns of the international network of slow cities are recent examples of the working out of development approaches that aim to involve local communities in the maintenance of the unique environmental and cultural heritage of individual locations. Formalised as Cittaslow, over the last two decades these towns are having to respond to a range of issues brought on by the increasing pace of life associated with globalisation and, conversely, s…
Brexodus and the Commercial Real Estate Markets of London and Paris
This paper draws on recent conceptual work in the field of border studies in order to analyse the island economy - of which London and Paris are a part - as a dynamic functional process of bordering. The particular focus is on the commercial real estate markets of the two cities, and the discourse of firms of international property consultants. It is shown that these non-state actors play a key role in standardising information so that investors …
Categories of context in realist evaluation
Realist evaluation has become widespread partly because of its sensitivity to the influence of contexts on policy implementation. In many such evaluations, the range of contexts considered relevant nevertheless remains disparate and under-conceptualised. This article uses findings from a realist evaluation of English Patient Safety Collaboratives during 2015–2018 to develop a realist taxonomy of contexts, differentiating contexts according to how…
Modern Representations of Sub-Saharan Africa
On the “Doing” of Visual Research on Borders and Migration
Conceptual and theoretical contributions to border studies have advanced alongside photography; however, incorporating research on the visual aspects of border studies is in need of attention at present. Among photographers, social scientists, and their participant subjects, collaborative fieldwork is certainly conducive to a dialogical approach, one in which partners might work collectively towards new conceptualizations on borders and migration…

Introduction
The academic literature on divided societies emerged from the study of colonial societies that were characterized by sharp and persistent cleavage along ethnic lines, and the study of consociational democracies in which there are power-sharing arrangements between two or more groups in an ethnically segmented society. The study of divided societies emerged historically at a moment when there was a growing interest in the study of immigration and …
