1 week ago | journals.sagepub.com | Jonathan White

Forging a political response to human-made global warming has widely come to be phrased as a problem of transition. Policy-makers, scientists, NGOs and others frame the challenge as the pursuit of a green transition, while variants such as the just transition are used to highlight its normative aspects.

1 month ago | journals.sagepub.com | Carrie Miller |Meredith Phillips

For over a century, social scientists have studied the ways that educational institutions exacerbate or narrow these inequalities. Much of this literature has focused on how curriculum differentiation (i.e., tracking or ability grouping) affects academic stratification.

In the prevailing climate of financial austerity and plunging global financial markets, every cost and investment is being scrutinised. This doesn’t much help clinicians in primary care who need to decide whether or not to prescribe an antibiotic. Often, too, patients are adamant that an antibiotic is what they need and that it has helped them in the past.
