Implementing Innovative Precepted Clinical Placements Through Partnership Between Academia and Practice
BACKGROUND: In Canada, instructor-led group models have dominated clinical learning delivery in nursing despite significant health care system changes over the past decade. Recent pressures on the health care system highlighted the need for innovative approaches to clinical learning. METHOD: To improve access to quality placements, members of the School of Nursing collaborated with practice partners to introduce a novel precepted placement model …
Corporatisation and financialisation of social reproduction: Care homes and childcare in the United Kingdom
The ownership and financial strategies of companies providing care for children or older people have become an increasingly salient concern, in both research and policy, because of their implications for the quality and availability of care services, as well as working conditions. However, analysis has tended to be sector specific. This article provides the first comparison of ownership, business models and workforces across childcare and adult s…
Towards a Political Economy of Social Infrastructure: Contesting “Anti‐Social Infrastructures” in London
In this paper, we develop a situated and intersectional urban political economy approach to social infrastructure. This approach contrasts with a growing body of liberal urban geography, which offers an optimistic account of how shared spaces afford encounter and social connection. We present four arguments about why such outcomes cannot be assumed, which are informed by a case of contested redevelopment in the London borough of Haringey. First, …
Should we pay research participants? Feminist political economy for ethical practices in precarious times
Questions of paying research participants have taken on a new urgency as contemporary geographies of precarity, inequality and austerity affect both potential participants and, to varying extents, early‐career researchers, while universities place greater emphasis on public engagement and research impact. Here, we offer reflections and recommendations that come from our experiences as PhD students in London, as precarious researchers researching …
Financialization and non-disposable women: Real estate, debt and labour in UK care homes
This paper contributes to debates on financialization, neoliberalism and labour by investigating the ownership of UK care homes by investment funds. This form of financialized ownership has been driven by debt financing and the realization of value from property assets. Financialization has also been shaped by labour. First, the low status of the mostly female workforce enabled investor buyouts. Second, growing financial pressures have been partl…

Liquid home? Financialisation of the built environment in the UK’s “hotel‐style” care homes
This paper combines the political economy of financialisation with feminist care ethics and sociocultural geographies of home. Together, these perspectives explain why and how real estate is converted into liquid financial assets, and expose the implications for embedded relationships. The argument is developed through a case study of UK care homes, with particular attention to the role of real estate investment trusts. Investors in care companie…
The new enclosure: The appropriation of public land in neoliberal Britain
In The New Enclosure, Brett Christophers argues that the privatization of Britain’s bailed-out banks or nationalized industries pales in comparison to the vast transfer of land from public to priva

Violence Against the Young: The New Urban Challenges
This article examines the recent deaths of Chicago Public School students. It focuses on the school year between September 2006 and June 2007. At least 30 individuals were killed during that interval. In this school year, the homicides continue at about the same pace. Although violence within the schools had declined and violence (including homicides) was at a lower rate for the city of Chicago, some communities remained vulnerable to this threat…
Domestic Violence: The Untold Story
This article highlights the problem of domestic violence and explanatory variables heretofore not fully addressed in the literature. It focuses on one urban area Chicago with an identifiable inner-city population. Risk factors for domestic violence are hypothesized. The article presents research involving regression analysis of data for the city of Chicago. Results indicate that domestic violence in this sample is impacted by teen births, demogra…
The New Trade in Heroin: Spreading America's Street Culture
This paper addresses behavioral impacts when hard drugs re-emerge as the drug of choice of a larger proportion of the American population. However, the use has increased with the youth of the nation and is no longer confined to urban inner-city population. The availability and the purity of certain drugs help to increase the incidence of heroin as an example. Risk factors are hypothesized for further investigation, but interventions that may be h…
Murder in the City: Embedded, Intractable and Treatment Resistant
This study investigates the prevalence of homicide as an urban phenomenon. It analyzes data available for the City of Chicago, Illinois. In the year 2003, Chicago led the nation in homicides. Police there attribute it to a deadly combination of street gangs, guns, and drugs. Such an approach is far too simplistic. An effort is made with this study to identify determinants of patterns of murders that persisted for more than a decade in Chicago, de…
An American Dilemma: Black Teenage Childbearing
This study investigates the relationship between African American teenage childbearing and both chronic and concentrated poverty. It considers the city of Chicago, Illinois that has a substantial Black population and discernable inner-city communities, and in which economic conditions did not improve over several decades. Results of the study indicate that welfare reform had a negative impact in worsening the economic circumstance of Black teen m…
The Academic Achievement Gap Between Blacks and Whites: The Latest Version of Blaming the Victim
This paper considers the academic achievement gap between African American and White students at the elementary and high school levels. It attempts to determine if race or lower socioeconomic status impact results of standardized test results at high performing and low performing schools. It presents research involving regression analysis of data for the state of Illinois. Results indicate race is not a negative factor at high performing or low p…
Violent Crimes and Racial Profiling: What the Evidence Suggests
This paper considers racial profiling as it pertains to violent crimes both as a criminal justice issue and as a mental health issue. It attempts to determine if violent crimes associated with the index of violent crimes are endemic to one or several specific demographic groups of the general population. Risk factors for specified violent crimes are hypothesized. It presents research involving regression analysis of data for the city of Chicago, …
Child Welfare Services: A Story of Misdirected Social Policy
This paper highlights the problem of children being at risk for placement by public child welfare systems into substitute care. It focuses on one state, Illinois, which has had considerable success in reducing its caseload. Risk factors are hypothesized. It presents research involving regression analysis of data for the city of Chicago. A cross-sectional design is utilized for a division of the city into nine regions. Results indicate that childr…
Violent Crime: New Evidence to Consider
This paper highlights the decrease in violent crime across the nation. However, causation is still to be determined. It presents research that suggest an increase in concentrated poverty is directly related to violent crime (at least, homicide rates). It presents research involving regression analysis of data available at the community area level which is unique to the city of Chicago. Chicago has experienced an increase in its homicide rate desp…
The Prevention of School Violence: New Evidence to Consider
This paper highlights theproblems of school violenceand delinquency among youth in our society. It presents research involving regression analysis of data available at the county level for the state of Illinois. A cross-sectional design is utilized for the 102 counties of that state. Results indicate that school violence isimpacted by demographics, i.e, the number of African Americans and whites, while controlling for the youth population. Howeve…
