Conceptualising 'Within-Group Stigmatisation' among High-Status Workers
This article explores the identity challenges facing teaching-only faculty (TOF), whose occupational self-perceptions are fundamentally contradicted by the way institutional others perceive them. We show how this manifests into a set of stigmatising practices and processes across two dimensions: contact (informal messaging) and contract (formal messaging). The sense of being unjustly stigmatised is amplified because the teaching-only role is gene…
Occupational limbo, transitional liminality and permanent liminality
This article contributes new theoretical perspectives and empirical findings to the conceptualization of occupational liminality. Here, we posit ‘occupational limbo’ as a state distinct from both transitional and permanent liminality; an important analytic distinction in better understanding occupational experiences. In its anthropological sense, liminality refers to a state of being betwixt and between; it is temporary and transitional. Permanen…

Herding Cats? Management and University Performance
Using a tried and tested measure of management practices that has been shown to predict firm performance, we survey nearly 250 departments across 100+ UK universities. We find large differences in management scores across universities and that departments in older, research-intensive universities score higher than departments in newer, more teaching-oriented universities. We also find that management matters in universities. The scores, particula…
Better the Devil You Know
To what extent does the Freirean concept of submerged consciousness contribute towards understanding of tenant participation in housing stock transfers? This paper describes the policy and process of housing stock transfer, noting both its contested nature and the role of tenants in the process. It explores Freire's concept of submerged consciousness, relating it to a cliché common amongst tenants experiencing stock transfer—`better the devil you…
Critical pedagogy, experiential learning and active citizenship
A key feature of housing policy in the UK is the transfer of affordable housing stock owned by local authorities to not‐for‐profit registered social landlords. Such transfers involve local authority tenants to varying degrees in the development and implementation of the transfer proposals. Reporting the findings of a series of interviews with tenants involved in stock transfers, this paper argues that tenant involvement in housing stock transfers…
Globalization and Social Work Education and Practice
The process of globalization is a controversial movement supported by some due to the potential cross-national benefits, but criticized by others because of the fragmented or uneven distribution of those benefits. As many social workers interact with clients who may be affected by globalization processes, we were interested to investigate their educational preparedness and practice views on this topic. Sixty-six social workers completed a questio…

Globalisation and social work
The process of globalisation, that is, the increasing interdependence of world society, is a controversial movement supported by some because of the potential cross‐national benefits, but criticised by others because of the fragmented or uneven distribution of those benefits. As many social workers interact with clients who may be affected by globalisation processes, we were interested to investigate their practice views on this topic. Sixty‐six …
My Parents Are Getting Older
Acute hospitals and older people in Australia
The Australian health care system is frequently portrayed as being in crisis, with reference to either large financial burdens in the form of hospital deficits, or declining service levels. Older people, characterised as a homogeneous category, are repeatedly identified as a major contributor to the crisis, by unnecessarily occupying acute beds while they await a vacancy in a residential facility. Several enquiries and hospital taskforce manageme…
How many social workers now? A review of census and other data
At any point in time, an understanding of how many social workers there are, who employs them, where they are employed, and so on, is of interest to professional bodies, practitioners and student social workers, as well as social work course providers in terns of demand for new graduates. Change in numbers of social workers over time can also be used to interpret political and social changes impacting on the human service industry, as well as pro…
The same but different
Since the underlying theme of the 1999 International Year of Older Persons was 'Towards a society for all ages', analysis of client groups at the extremes of the age structure should not be neglected. The research reported here was undertaken as part of the International Year and presents a brief investigation of an under-researched group of very long-lived individuals who occasionally interact with social workers working in aged care. Following …
Looking back and moving forward? Ageing in Australia 2000
It was timely that the 1999 International Year of Older Persons (IYOP) occurred in the last year of the century because the purpose of the year is to celebrate ageing achievements as well as to produce positive sustainable change for the future. Thus it affords an opportunity to assess the status of ageing in Australia as a result of developments up to that point, as well as providing an indication of where ageing research, policy and practice is…
Older workers
This paper looks at the role of occupational social work (OSW) in the context of the changing world of work. It focuses on one demographic group, older workers, who are seen to be at occupational risk in this environment. Labour force characteristics, trends and experiences of the group are examined in this context. Emerging models of occupational social work with more inclusive roles are explored and applied to the problems of older workers, wit…
