55 3 Spatial dimensions of the marginalisation of cycling – marginalisation through rationalisation? Till Koglin Introduction Transport and urban planning are very complex issues in general (Koglin and Pettersson, 2017). Moreover, urban cycling is closely connected to urban space and urban and transport planning (Koglin, 2011; 2013). With 12 per cent of all trips made by cycle, a level similar to that of Germany, Sweden is often regarded as a country where cycling is a regular part of everyday mobility. Compared with countries such as the United States
How are different kinds of human included or excluded by the contemporary moment? A range of policies, science advice and services during COVID-19 have had a major impact on the lives of many marginalized groups. Paying particular attention to disabled people, this section will explore the processes of marginalization, how different forms of exclusion and inequality intersect and how these processes are being resisted and transformed. By describing and analysing the lived experience of marginalized people these contributions will provide novel ways of thinking
Introduction This chapter explores how the pandemic has affected access to advice and redress for marginalized groups. Already marginalized communities are likely to be impacted the most by the pandemic. Yet, we know relatively little about how members of these groups are accessing the justice system, and what can be done to improve their capacity to obtain advice, support and redress. In addressing these questions, the project builds upon, and seeks to extend, existing work about marginalized groups that are alienated by the justice system ( Halliday and
Since the 1970s, social housing estates within Western capitalist cities have been linked to marginalisation processes in relation to poverty and deprivation. This chapter examines marginalisation at London’s estates with reference to three analytical frameworks: residualisation, social exclusion and socio-tenurial polarisation. While acknowledging that such approaches have considerable credibility – especially in socioeconomic terms – the chapter develops a multi-stranded critique of how they frame and analyse marginalisation. This critique embraces three main
subordinate position they developed counter- strategies. These strategies built self-confidence and ethnic pride. However, they also reinforce processes of marginalisation. Marginalisation in a Scandinavian welfare state Even though most studies of street culture include marginalisation processes in their analysis, some do so in a more coherent and detailed fashion than others. For example, in his study of advanced marginality, Wacquant (2008) mentions six properties of the ‘rising regime of marginality’. These include wage labour as a new vector of social instability
Introduction The relationship between modern science and the public is complex even in ‘normal’ times (Nowotny et al, 2013). In times of pandemic, when knowledge uncertainties magnify, and decisions need to be taken in extremely pressing situations, this relationship needs extra care, caution and nurturing. In the absence of such care, science advice might do more harm than good, and perhaps will end up creating multiple new vulnerabilities, marginalities and loss. The primary focus of this chapter is to engage with the relationship of science and its
Tabloid headlines such as ‘Anti-social Feral Youth,’ ‘Vile Products of Welfare in the UK’ and ‘One in Four Adolescents is a Criminal’ have in recent years obscured understanding of what social justice means for young people and how they experience it. Youth marginality in Britain offers a new perspective by promoting young people’s voices and understanding the agency behind their actions. It explores different forms of social marginalisation within media, culture and society, focusing on how young people experience social discrimination at a personal and collective level.
This collection from a wide range of expert contributors showcases contemporary research on multiple youth deprivation of personal isolation, social hardship, gender and ethnic discrimination and social stigma. With a foreword from Robert MacDonald, it explores the intersection of race, gender, class, asylum seeker status and care leavers in Britain, placing them in the broader context of austerity, poverty and inequality to highlight both change and continuity within young people’s social and cultural identities.
This timely contribution to debates concerning youth austerity in Britain is suitable for students across youth studies, sociology, education, criminology, youth work and social policy.
57 THREE Advanced marginality and stigma This chapter examines the social and psychological impacts on poverty and inequality through the concepts of ‘advanced marginality’ and ‘stigma’. The analysis of social stigma is influenced by Wacquant’s argument that the ‘underclass’ discourse not only corrodes social ties, but also the sense of self-worth of the residents of the poorest areas and communities. The majority of social work takes place in these communities, where high rates of poverty, few social resources and amenities, poor housing, high rates of
Introduction This chapter examines the impact of participatory research methodology in effectively documenting the daily experiences of the religious and sectarian minority groups in terms of intersectional marginalization due to the intersection of faith, poverty and gender identities and how the intersection of these factors leads these communities down the economic and social ladder. Participatory methods were employed by the researchers to co-create knowledge with the targeted groups, placing them at the centre of knowledge creation to evaluate their
