The Affordances of Pragmatism for a Postdigital Citizen Social Science
In efforts to inform a postdigital citizen social science, this paper argues that the traditions of pragmatism are a rich resource for enacting a postdigital citizen social science’s commitment to dialogue and collaboration. Claims as to the value of pragmatism for informing a postdigital citizen social science are rehearsed and assessed through an extension of the Human Data Interaction framework to an engagement with the ‘small’ data and associ…

An examination of independent fiscal councils and their orientation to the future and policy making
The aim of this paper is to review the rationale, nature and operation of independent fiscal councils (IFCs) in order to gain insights into how futures are being configured at executive levels of government and to examine how futures could be incorporated in policy making. The emphasis IFCs have placed on non-partisanship, transparency and forecasting is viewed as reflecting a particular understanding of the problem of public debt and a limited u…
The 'Deserving' Rich? Inequality, Morality and Social Policy
There is a long tradition in social policy of discussing and critiquing the notion of 'deservingness' in relation to 'the poor'. This paper will apply such debates to 'the rich' to consider the grounds on which this group might be considered 'deserving'. The paper identifies three sets of arguments. The first set of arguments concerns the appropriateness ofrewardingmerit/hard work/effort/risk-taking etc. The second concerns more consequentialist/…
Promoting ‘Employ ability’
This paper provides a critical social semiotic analysis of the UK Department of Work and Pensions ‘Employ ability’ initiative. Although this initiative can be read as an attempt to reduce the exclusion of people with disabilities from the workplace, it is argued that the ‘Employ ability’ initiative, should be read as part of a discursive strategy to legitimate neo-liberal welfare reforms, where policies relating to the employment and underemploym…
We're onto you
This article examines the use of imagery and language in New Labour's attempts to shift public attitudes to benefit fraud. A critical discourse analysis of the Department for Work and Pensions' `Targeting Benefit Fraud' campaign is provided, where it is argued that the campaign portrays those who commit fraud as a threatening other, whose presence necessitates and legitimates the government's increased use of technical, legislative and punitive m…
HelpAge International
HelpAge International carries out work on issues of ageing and development across a worldwide network. Experience suggests that older people are struggling to be seen, heard and understood, and are still excluded from action to improve their situation. This paper also reports on the Madrid Plan, the first international agreement to recognise the potential of older people to contribute to the development of their societies
