Designing for Complexity at Scale
From friction to synergy
This paper investigates the implications of increasingly intelligent technology environments on human creative thinking, with a focus on differentiating intrinsically human contributions to creativity from those that are amenable to technology-mediation. Confronted with rapid advances in technology, we argue that there remain affective, embodied, experiential, and socio-cultural human dimensions to creative thinking that should be recognized, mon…
Social-Emotional Learning and Generative AI
This article provides a critical thematic literature review that explores the intersection of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and social-emotional learning (SEL), analyzing its implications for teacher education. GenAI offers promising applications for enhancing SEL competencies such as self-awareness, empathy, and social skills through tools like real-time emotional feedback and personalized learning experiences. However, the integrat…
The Green Areas Are Out of Our Reach
Commitments to Build Back Greener remain prominent in international approaches to post-pandemic economic recovery. Yet, few studies have considered how the associated processes of valuing, preserving and erasing green spaces in urban greening redevelopment projects are inflected by racialised inequalities. Drawing on 29 interviews with policy practitioners and racially minoritised residents in Oldham (North-West England), this article contests di…
Housing governance and racialisation
In March 2022, the UK government refined its approach to tackling systemic inequalities with a seemingly innocuous refrain: ‘inclusivity’. The instilling of shared values and economic development were discursively framed in central government rhetoric as the solutions to existing disparities and processes that were linked to places deemed as deprived. Drawing on data from forty-seven interviews with policy practitioners, anti-racist networks, and…
Redrawing the border through the ‘Right to Rent’
The UK Immigration Act 2016 is central to the Conservative Government’s drive to create a more hostile environment for potential migrants and current ‘illegal’ migrants residing in the UK. The Right to Rent provisions of the Act, which require private landlords in England to conduct mandatory immigration document checks on prospective tenants, or face sizeable fines and criminal prosecution, have been highlighted as a key facet of the legislation…
The Right to Rent
Drawing on recent qualitative research on the UK's Immigration Act 2016, this article sets out to explain the opposition of social housing professionals to the imposition of the Right to Rent. By locating this policy intervention within the evolving geographies of state regulation, it is possible to account for the mechanisms through which housing professionals can resist the extension of duties that were previously the remit of border agents and…
More Than a Hostile Environment
This article is based on original data from a qualitative study on the impact of the Right to Rent part of the Immigration Act 2016 in Scotland. Our findings show that in addition to being an integral part of the government's project of creating a 'hostile environment for immigrants', the process of extending the state's 'law and order' functions to organisations responsible for providing welfare services and distributing public goods is of wider…
The digital frontier
Global advances in technology and information are purportedly propelling transformations and disruptions across many sectors, including education. However, historical reviews of technology integration in education mainly reveal weak or ineffectual impacts on learning, and only minor reforms to date within the education system. This study adopted a futures studies methodological approach to explore how K-12 educational spaces and experiences might…
Generating Confusion, Concern, and Precarity through the Right to Rent Scheme in Scotland
The Immigration Act 2016 has heralded an era of amplified Government intervention into day‐to‐day life, placing increased responsibility for border protection on UK citizens. Using interviews with representatives from the field of housing in Scotland, this paper examines one specific aspect of the Immigration Act 2016, the Right to Rent scheme. We investigate how the Right to Rent creates a precarious environment for all those who may appear to b…
In what sense ‘distinctive’? The search for distinction amongst cross-border student migrants in the UK
Demonising discourse’
As the Irish Government introduces a selection of changes to home defence law, through the Criminal Law (Defence and Dwelling) Act 2011, the Traveller Community, and the Ward-Nally case in particular, are regrettable reference points propelling public support for the use of force in home protection. The national broadcaster, Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ), has proved to be a central player in the constitution of difference; however, it is often an…
