Exploring the Determinants of Quality of Life for LGBTQ + People
Despite recent initiatives to understand and respond better to LGBTQ + lives in the UK, there remains a lack of detailed knowledge about the needs and experiences of the LGBTQ + population at an everyday level, including drivers of quality of life, and its association with mental health. This paper draws on findings from the UK dataset in the Global Pride survey collected in 2022. Data from 172 individuals aged 19–77 from diverse sexual and gende…

Attitudes before actions
Technology can be a key aspect in facilitating progress and development in education that sometimes debates the factors that determine the use of technology and its impact on teaching and learning. In education, technology integration can enhance instruction by providing educators with more pedagogical tools, facilitating student learning, and promoting active engagement in the classroom. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UT…
Towards Fear-less learning
This article introduces a framework for transforming Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) through Heterotopic Affinity Spaces (HAS). Our model suggests HAS can shift traditional power dynamics by enhancing learner agency. Drawing on studies of affinity spaces and heterotopias, we present these spaces as free from the restrictions of formal education and academic regulations (FEAR), moving towards a FEAR-less learning future. A case study from the…
The CIRCLE Care Home Guide
BACKGROUND: Many older LGBTQ+ people still face discrimination in care home settings, and many care home staff do not have the knowledge required to provide LGBTQ+ inclusive care. Despite the availability of valuable resources on LGBTQ+ inclusion, its widespread use in social care practice in the United Kingdom is lacking. To address this issue, the current study presents a novel resource on LGBTQ+ inclusion co-designed by older LGBTQ+ people, ca…

Queer(y)ing Agent-Based Modeling for Use in LGBTQ Studies
This article explores the contribution agent-based modeling (ABM) can make to the study of LGBTQ workplace inequalities and, conversely, how ABM can adapt to theoretical traditions integral to LGBTQ studies. It introduces an example LGBTQ workplace model, developed as part of the CILIA-LGBTQI+ project, to illustrate how ABM complements existing methods, can address methodological binarism and bridge macro and micro accounts within LGBTQ studies o…
Archaeological mineralised textiles from the Iron Age tumulus of Creney-le-Paradis support its elite status
Looting and plough damage to the eighth-fifth centuries BC tumulus of Creney-le-Paradis, France, hinders interpretation of this potentially significant site. Nevertheless, application of novel microtomographic techniques in combination with optical and scanning electron microscopy allows the first detailed examination of 99 textile fragments recovered from the central pit. The authors argue that the diversity of textiles revealed-at least 16 diff…

Added value and numerical measurement of social value
Social value has evolved rapidly over the last decade or so. Legislation has been a key driver, and added value and numerical measurement are emerging as important focal points. An emerging body of literature in this space draws attention to social value in placemaking, infrastructure and construction work. Using deontological principles of ethics, a critical discussion is presented on the problems associated with numerical measurement of social …
Queer(y)ing aging—potentialities and problems in applying Queer Theory to studies of aging and later life
Queer Theory is a radically deconstructionist perspective within the humanities and social sciences. Since its initial emergence in the late 1980s and early 1990s in the field of sexualities studies, Queer Theory has increasingly been used to challenges normative notions of self, identity, temporality and the nature of being, more broadly. Whilst Queer Theory has been utilized, to some extent, in gerontology and aging studies, this article makes …

This article examines the incidents of discrimination, harassment and violence experienced by lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) individuals in Germany, Portugal and the UK. Using a large cross-national survey and adopting an intra-categorical intersectional approach, it documents how the likelihood of experiencing discrimination, harassment and violence changes within LGBT communities across three national contexts. Moreover, it explores ho…

Care in late life, end of life and in bereavement for the oldest LGBT generations around the globe
This special issue focuses on care in late life and at the end of life for people with diverse sexual orientations and gender identities, from an international perspective. There is a growing body of research demonstrating that LGBT people are a diverse and under-researched new ageing population, but less attention has been paid to the specific issues connected to care in late life and at the end of life. This Special Issue makes a contribution t…

Job Satisfaction and Sexual Orientation in Britain
Studies looking at patterns of labour market outcomes among lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) individuals focus mostly on earnings, while non-pecuniary outcomes of LGB individuals have remained a relatively under-researched area. Using the latest wave of the Workplace Employment Relations Study (WERS), this article investigates the job satisfaction levels of LGB individuals compared to their heterosexual peers for the first time in Britain. The res…
Intro-/Inter
Laurel Brake has been introducing us to nineteenth-century periodicals since the dazzling 1990 collection Investigating Victorian Journalism, co-edited with Aled Jones and Lionel Madden.1 Since then almost all her monographs, edited collections and the Dictionary of Nineteenth-Century Journalism have had ‘Introductions’. Only her three volumes on other subjects – two on Pater and one on the connections and differences between the 1890s and 1990s …

The mobility of experiential learning pedagogy
In this article, we examine the development of a new, experiential learning human geography and planning course at a smaller campus in Newfoundland, Canada. Our interest is twofold: to consider how pedagogical approaches can be transferred between a large urban campus and a small-town location; and to examine the benefits and complications of such transfers through a reflective examination of the resulting experiential learning program. The artic…
Who can I turn to? Social networks and the housing, care and support preferences of older lesbian and gay people in the UK
What happens when lesbian and gay people, who are more likely to be childless and single than their heterosexual peers, get older and need support and care? Who can they turn to? In addressing this question, this article draws on data collected as part of a wider project concerning the housing preferences, experiences and concerns of older LGBT people in the United Kingdom. The article explores the social networks that older lesbian and gay peopl…
Naviguer dans la toile
Les textiles sont périssables dans la plupart des environnements archéologiques. L’un des principaux processus conduisant à la préservation exceptionnelle de leur morphologie résulte du contact avec un objet métallique, un phénomène connu sous le nom de « minéralisation ». Nous présentons ici l’étude d’un textile ancien en lin provenant du site de Nausharo (vallée de l’Indus, Balochistan, Pakistan) et daté du IIIe millénaire av. J.-C. Cette étude…

Minding the gap? Young people's accounts of taking a Gap Year as a form of identity work in higher education
A Gap Year is a break in an educational career, principally taken between leaving school and beginning university. Previous research on the Gap Year has suggested it is a form of social class positioning or forum for undertaking transitions in identity during young adulthood. This paper extends this research into the context of higher education itself. The paper illustrates, by a detailed analysis of interview data, that significant identity work…
Power, Inequality and Identification
This article explores how theories of diversity and intersectionality can improve our understandings of the lives of older lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) adults. In so doing, it argues that theories of diversity help us to understand both the structural constraints and the advantages that may arise from being an older LGB adult. However, these theories are unable to fully account for differences that may exist within this social group. In order …
Categories and their consequences
This article advocates incorporating biographical narratives into social work practice involving older lesbian, gay and bisexual service users. Offering a critique of ‘sexuality-blind’ conditions in current policy and practice, the discussion draws on qualitative data to illustrate the potential benefits of narrative approaches for both practitioners and service users
Reducing waste
Between 1980 and 1997, municipal waste in OECD countries increased by around 40%. This paper outlines the very real negative effects of this increase and then introduces the two main European Union policies that have been established to address this problem: a landfill directive and legislation on extended producer responsibility (EPR). The paper then describes and compares the four alternative strategies to reducing end‐of‐life waste within the …
Only connect? Older lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) adults and social capital
The concept of social capital is widely used in the social sciences and has, to an extent, been applied to the lives and social networks of older lesbian, gay and bisexual (hereafter LGB) adults. Developing existing research, this paper argues that while not without its problems, the concept of social capital enriches our understanding of these networks, whilst simultaneously deconstructing the negative stereotypes surrounding homosexuality in la…

Queerying activism through the lens of the sociology of everyday life
The approaching 30th anniversary of the introduction of the 1988 Local Government Act offers an opportunity to reflect on the nature of lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) activism in Britain. The protests against its implementation involved some of the most iconic moments of queer activism. Important though they are, these singular, totemic moments give rise to, and are sustained by small, almost unobtrusive acts which form part of LGB people's ever…

Queer Categories
In recent years there has been a growth in organizational discourse concerning the lives of older lesbian, gay and/or bisexual ( LGB ) adults, which has started to address the serious omission and invisibility of this group of people in research, policy making and service provision. Whilst this development is welcomed, it inevitably draws attention to the identification ‘older LGB adults’ on which it is based. Using insights from queer theory, in…
Older LGBT+ health inequalities in the UK
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans+ (LGBT+) people report poorer health than the general population and worse experiences of healthcare particularly cancer, palliative/end-of-life, dementia and mental health provision. This is attributable to: (a) social inequalities, including ‘minority stress’; (b) associated health-risk behaviours (eg, smoking, excessive drug/alcohol use, obesity); (c) loneliness and isolation, affecting physical/mental health a…

The Sympathetic Individualist
For many years, the novels of Ouida (Maria Louise Ramé, 1839–1908), were rejected as offering nothing but commercially valuable “voluptuous daydreams” (Leavis 164) that catered to “the degenerate taste of the new reading public of the commercial middle class” (Elwin 282). Since the late 1980s, however, they have been read with renewed interest. Ouida has come to be recognised as a “forgotten mother” of the 1890s aesthetic movement (Schaffer, Fema…

The Time of Circumcision
At night, before sleep, I hear the bells outside my house. The circumcision candidate and his young male relatives wear them draped from wrists and ankles. During July and August they run, perhaps 30 kilometers a day: to Matendi and Kapchai, to Mwahweya, and down into the Chwele Valley, paying their respects to their families, gathering strength to face the knife.The chants rise and fall above tinkling bells, "Hmmmm, Huwaaaah, Hmmmmmm, Huwaaaaaah…
The Faerie Queene and Middle English Romance
"This book offers the first comprehensive study of the impact of Middle English romance on The Faerie Queene. It employs the concept of memory, in which both Middle English romance writers and Spenser show specific interest, to build a sense of the thematic, generic, and cultural complexity of the native romance tradition. The memorial character of Middle English romance resides in its intertexuality and its frequent presentation of its narrative…

Philosophy and Salvation
The mystical apotheosis of Schopenhauer's thought is intimately connected to his immanent definition of philosophy. An analysis of the philosophical progression to salvation via aesthetic contemplation, compassion, and asceticism, illuminates Schopenhauer's advocacy of Eckhartian‐style mysticism. Schopenhauer's mysticism, like Eckhart’s, relies on the structures of negation facilitated by a particular metaphysics. Both therein transcend the tradi…

Black is beautiful’, and Indigenous
The ‘black is beautiful’ movement began in the United States in the early 1960s, and changed mainstream attitudes towards the body, fashion and personal aesthetics, gaining African-American people a new sense of pride in being – and being called – ‘black’. In Australia the movement also had implications for changing the political meanings of ‘black’ in white society. However, it has not been until the last decade, through the global influence of …

Imagine you are looking at a screen and tracing the various chemicals that are swirling around you. With filters, you would see a map of the area where you live. Those chemical trails are now affecting your friends and neighbours, flowing through the air, the water and through the products we move, use and consume. As you track your carbon trail, the impact of importing or exporting these chemicals would also be apparent. Finally, by the touch of…
