"Migrant margins: The streetlife of discrimination." The Sociological Review 66, no. 5 (2018): 968-983. 30 November 2017 Abstract The street life of discrimination emerges in the intersections of global migration and urban marginalisation. Focusing on livelihoods forged by migrants on four peripheral streets in Birmingham, Bristol, Leicester and Manchester, I draW on face-to-face surveys With over 350 self-employed proprietors. Despite significant variables amongst proprietors, these individuals had all become traders on streets in marginalised parts of UK cities, and I address whether ‘race’ matters more than class for how certain groups become emplaced in the city. Narratives of inequality and racism feature prominently in the proprietors’ accounts of Where they settled in the city and What limited forms of Work are available in the urban margins. Yet as significant to proprietors’ experiences of trade are repertoires of entrepreneurial agility and cross-cultural exchange. Through the concept of the ‘migrant margins’ I explore the overlap of human capacities and structural discrimination that spans global and urban space.

  • Carbon Management Planning in UK Universities: a Journey to Low Carbon Built Environment

    Carbon Management Planning in UK Universities: a Journey to Low Carbon Built Environment

    Carbon management planning in UK universities: A journey to low carbon built environment Muhammad Usman Mazhar1 Department of Management, Nottingham Business School, Burton Street, Nottingham, NG1 4BU, United Kingdom [email protected] Richard Bull2, Mark Lemon3 Institute of Energy and Sustainable Development, De Montfort University, The Gateway, Leicester, LE1 9BH, United Kingdom 2 [email protected] 3 [email protected] Saad Bin Saleem Ahmad4 Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Norwegian University of Sciences and Technology, Trondheim, Norway [email protected] Abstract Climate change and increase in carbon emissions are one of the biggest challenges for the modern world. Organisations are facing increasing pressure from governments and stakeholders to reduce carbon emissions. The Higher Education (HE) sector has a huge environmental, social and economic impact. In 2012-13, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) consumed 7.9 billion kWh of energy and emitted 2.3 million tonnes of carbon emissions, which strengthens the role of universities in implementing carbon management for a low carbon built environment. The HE sector is not exempt from implementing carbon management strategies and responded to the UK government’s Climate Change Act by developing its own targets in England, which are in line with the national targets – 80% reduction by 2050 and 34% by 2020 from the 1990 baseline. This indicates the scale of the challenge to implement carbon management through effective planning procedures. The aim of this paper is to explore the key elements of the carbon management planning process in UK universities and identify potential areas of improvements. This exploratory study adopted a qualitative and inductive research approach.
