Risk of vaccine preventable diseases in UK migrants: A serosurvey and concordance analysis
Our findings suggest lower levels of seroprotection against measles in migrants living in Leicester, UK, with younger migrants and those from Europe and Central Asia more likely to lack seroprotection. A high proportion of surveyed migrants were unaware of their vaccination/disease history and self-reported vaccine/disease was a poor predictor of seroprotection against VPDs which is important for clinical decision-making regarding catch-up vaccin…
The right to higher education: A political theory
In The Right to Higher Education: A Political Theory , I argue that post-compulsory education should be an individual right in a liberal democratic society. Here, I respond to a series of criticisms of the right’s justification. I address objections relating to: the autonomy-based justification of the right and liberal neutrality, the right’s scope and limits, the fairness of full public funding for higher education, constraints on the right’s eq…
Symposium Introduction: Discourse Ethical Perspectives on Education in Polarized Political Cultures
When the game of reason-giving and reason-taking is supported by broadly shared norms of civic morality, trust in public deliberation tends to follow. It is far more difficult to practice (and defend) deliberation when these norms, including deliberative norms themselves, are in dispute. Is the contemporary situation of liberal democracies more akin to the former or the latter? The jury is still out on the nature, causes, and seriousness of what …
Educational Institutions and Indoctrination
The concept of indoctrination is typically used to characterize the actions of individual educators. However, it has become increasingly common for citizens to raise concerns about the indoctrinatory effects of institutions such as schools and universities. Are such worries fundamentally misconceived, or might some state of affairs obtain under which it can be rightly said that an educational institution is engaged in indoctrination? In this pape…
Caring for Those Who Take Care of Others: Developing Systemic and Sustainable Mental Health Support for the Diverse Healthcare Workforce in the United Kingdom
Pressures such as high workload, stretched resources, and financial stress are resulting in healthcare workers experiencing high rates of mental health conditions, high suicide rates, high rates of staff absences from work, and high vacancy rates for certain healthcare professions. All of these factors point to the fact that a systematic and sustainable approach to mental health support at different levels and in different ways is more important …
Modelling the Differing Impacts of Covid‐19 in the UK Labour Market
This article studies the impact of the Covid‐19 pandemic on graduates and non‐graduates in the United Kingdom. We construct a DSGE model with search frictions that is designed around key features of the UK labour market and simulate the model using an array of shocks, designed to mimic the impact of the Covid‐19 pandemic. We show that our relatively simple macroeconomic model can describe the impact of the pandemic on output, employment and wages…
The Price Is Right: Introducing Health Care Costs Through Gameful Learning
Context and future directions for integrating forest carbon into sub-national climate mitigation planning in the RGGI region of the U.S
International frameworks for climate mitigation that build from national actions have been developed under the United National Framework Convention on Climate Change and advanced most recently through the Paris Climate Agreement. In parallel, sub-national actors have set greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals and developed corresponding climate mitigation plans. Within the U.S., multi-state coalitions have formed to facilitate coordination of relat…
Punishment and the argument from necessity: A reply to Hand
In his paper, ‘On the Necessity of School Punishment’, Michael Hand defends school punishment on logical grounds. In this reply, I show why this argument fails. First, I claim that the concept of a rule of obligation does not, in and of itself, establish that punishment is necessary. Second, I claim that a rule of obligation does not justify punishment on the grounds that it is necessary for social order or norm-conformity. Finally, I argue that …

Provider Practice Competition and Adoption of Medicare’s Oncology Care Model
BACKGROUND: There is a concern that the Oncology Care Model (OCM), a voluntary bundled payment program, may incentivize mergers and acquisitions among physician practices leading to reduced competition and price increases. These concerns are heightened if OCM is preferentially adopted in competitive health care markets because it could result in reduced competition, but little is known about the characteristics of markets where OCM is adopted. OB…
Smart-sustainability: A new urban fix
Urban policy increasingly positions smart urban development as a transformative approach to deliver sustainability. In this paper, we question the transformative credentials of smartness and argue that it is better understood as a partial fix for the economic, environmental and social challenges faced by cities. Drawing on the urban sustainability and smart city literatures, we develop the concept of the urban smart-sustainability fix. This conce…

Educational Justice and the Value of Knowledge
How should a liberal democratic society value knowledge and understanding, and does this valuation inform how we ought to reason about the justice of our educational institutions? In scholarly and public discourse, it is orthodox to argue that because educational institutions bring about various goods—goods of character such as wellbeing or economic goods such as social mobility – they ought to be structured by principles of political justice. In…

The moderating effect of self-esteem in reaction to voice: Converging evidence from five studies
It has been posited that high self-esteem persons (high SEs) are more confident than low self-esteem persons (low SEs) of their capability to provide meaningful input in a decision process. If this is so, then high SEs should be more influenced by their perceived level of voice, relative to low SEs. Survey data from 4 field studies showed that voice was more positively related to various dependent variables among high SEs than low SEs. In Study 5…

The Impact of Equal Opportunities Policies on the Day-to-Day Experiences of Women Police Constables
The Sex Discrimination Act was introduced as legislation in Great Britain in 1975. The police service responded by integrating the existing Women's Sections and the main operational body of the rest of the service. Despite the introduction of equal opportunities policies in many services in the late 1980s and early 1990s, real change was slow in filtering down through the ranks and it could be argued that early policy changes were entirely notion…

Ovid and the Cultural Politics of Translation in Early Modern England
In Ovid and the Cultural Politics of Early Modern England, Liz Oakley-Brown considers English versions of the Metamorphoses - a poem concerned with translation and transformation on a multiplicity of levels - as important sites of social and historical difference from the fifteenth to the early eighteenth centuries. Through the exploration of a range of canonical and marginal texts, from Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus to women's embroideries of O…
Modelling Monetary Policy: Inflation Targeting in Practice
This paper estimates a simple structural model of monetary policy in the UK focusing on the policy of inflation targeting introduced in 1992. We find that: (i) the adoption of inflation targeting led to significant changes in monetary policy; (ii) post‐1992 monetary policy is asymmetric as policy‐makers respond more to upward deviation of inflation away from the target; (iii) post‐1992 policy‐makers may be attempting to keep inflation within the …

Mass Education, Privatisation, Compensation and Diversification: Issues on the future of public education in Mexico
The corrosion of public education in Mexico by institutional rigidities and decades of underfunding have placed the system in severe crisis. The rich have opted out and the poor are dropping out of it. The failure of incomplete and politically decentralisations to address poor quality and persistent inequalities have resulted in widespread applause for special compensatory programmes aimed to reach the most underprivileged students.

The 'Shadow Economy' of Local School Management in Contemporary West Mexico
One of the most striking features of Mexican education at school level is an unusually wide discrepancy between official norms and actual educational practice. This is noted not only by disinterested observers but also by parents, who are aware of the rules being bent and standards not being kept, as is witnessed by persistently high rates of school drop-out and repetition. Thus there is cause for parental and general public concern. Parents are …

When the ideal of liberal egalitarianism meets the fact of austerity: Reorienting philosophical perspectives on educational policy
Liberal egalitarians are rightly interested in the meaning and scope of educational justice. Much of this work involves developing an account of what the fair allocation of educational resources ought to look like under ideal conditions. However, recent developments in competitive global capitalism, including the protracted nature of the global recession, have called the feasibility of such accounts into question. Austerity policies have develope…
On the Educational Value of Philosophical Ethics for Teacher Education: The Practice of Ethical Inquiry as Liberal Education
This article explores the extent to which and ways in which philosophical ethics can make an educational contribution to teachers’ understanding of their practice as a distinct moral domain. Philosophical ethics is argued to facilitate two necessary features of teachers’ moral understanding of their practice. First, it promotes awareness of the plurality of normative considerations that must be made when reflecting ethically on one’s own practice…

The Countess of Pembroke's Arcadia (The New Arcadia)
Sir Philip Sidney stands beside Shakespeare and Spenser as one of the great writers of the English Renaissance. His masterpiece, the New Arcadia, continues to delight with its tales of love, political intrigue, kidnap, and torture, which revolve around the courtship of two Arcadian princesses by their heroic suitors. Skilful dialogue and descriptive narrative combine with a sophisticated poetic style to unify the many episodes of the complex epic…
Corporate Borrowing and Credit Constraints: Structural Disequilibrium Estimates for the U.K
This paper develops a structural model of the market for corporate borrowing in the United Kingdom. The authors allow trade to be dispersed across a number of submarkets and suppose that disequilibrium operates at this disaggregated level. Solving for the level of aggregate trade, they can estimate nonlinear equations for the demand and supply of borrowing and for the associated interest rate. The authors use survey data to measure the strength o…

The Logic of Negation in Boethius
Boethius' de Hypotheticis Syllogismis is by far the most extensive account of the conditional and its logic to have survived from antiquity. A rather obscure and tedious work, it has puzzled commentators from Peter Abaelard to Jonathan Barnes. Most of the difficulties that they have had in extracting the principles of Boethian logic seem to me to follow from the assumption that what he offers is an account of the application of propositional oper…
