  • Portsoken 2, 19/09/2013 Community & Children's
    Overview Report Portsoken All Age Early Intervention Review City of London Corporation March 2013 Updated July 2013 Caroline Masundire Associate Director T: 020 7253 6289 E: [email protected] Rocket Science UK Ltd 70 Cowcross Street London EC1M 6EJ Contents 1. About the review 16 2. Key issues 17 3. Priorities for action 20 4. Options 21 5. Conclusions 26 6 Next Steps 15 15 1. About the review The need for a review of early intervention services emerged from work undertaken by the Director Leadership Team to develop a Health and Wellbeing Commissioning Strategy as part of the City‟s new role in leading public health from April 2013. The Portsoken ward was selected on the basis that it is the most deprived ward in the City and that this review could act as a pilot to test whether similar reviews could be undertaken in other wards of the City. This review of early intervention services aims to inform how the City might most effectively manage rising demand for services at a time of increased pressure on public sector spending. Hence it identifies and prioritises those interventions that can have the greatest impact on community wellbeing, whilst reducing potential future dependency on more expensive public services. This short report provides an overview of the key issues and recommendations that have emerged from the review alongside an implementation plan to support the dissemination of the findings to the community and providers and to work with the City of London to develop ONE Portsoken over the next twelve months.

  • Sites of Memory of Atlantic Slavery in European Towns with an Excursus on the Caribbean Ulrike Schmieder1
    Cuadernos Inter.c.a.mbio sobre Centroamérica y el Caribe Vol. 15, No. 1, abril-setiembre, 2018, ISSN: 1659-0139 Sites of Memory of Atlantic Slavery in European Towns with an Excursus on the Caribbean Ulrike Schmieder1 Abstract Recepción: 7 de agosto de 2017/ Aceptación: 4 de diciembre de 2017 For a long time, the impact of Atlantic slavery on European societies was discussed in academic circles, but it was no part of national, regional and local histories. In the last three decades this has changed, at different rhythms in the former metropolises. The 150th anniversary of the abolition of slavery in France (1998) and the 200th anniversary of the prohibition of the slave trade in Great Britain (2007) opened the debates to the broader public. Museums and memorials were established, but they coexist with monu- ments to slave traders as benefactors of their town. In Spain and Portugal the process to include the remembrance of slavery in local and national history is developing more slowly, as the impact of slave trade on Spanish and Portuguese urbanization and in- dustrialization is little known, and the legacies of recent fascist dictatorships are not yet overcome. This article focuses on sites of commemoration and silent traces of slavery. Keywords Memory; slave trade; slavery; European port towns; Caribbean Resumen Durante mucho tiempo, la influencia de la esclavitud atlántica sobre sociedades euro- peas fue debatida en círculos académicos, pero no fue parte de historias nacionales, regionales y locales. En las últimas tres décadas esto ha cambiado a diferentes ritmos en las antiguas metrópolis. El 150 aniversario de la abolición de la esclavitud en Francia (1998) y el bicentenario de la prohibición del tráfico de esclavizados en Gran Bretaña (2007) abrieron los debates a un público más amplio.

  • Hanken School of Economics | E05 Nilsson (1)
    Hanken School of Economics | E05_Nilsson (1) [THEME MUSIC] "Sustainability Unwrapped"-- a conversational podcast about responsibility, ethics, inequalities, climate change, and other challenges of our times, where science meets practise to think about our world and how to make our society more sustainable, one podcast at a time. So welcome to this episode of the "Sustainability Unwrapped" podcast, brought to you by Hanken School of Economics in Finland. My name is Eva Nilsson, and I'm a PhD student, passionate about political economy, businesses, and politics in Africa. And today we are here to discuss a very timely topic, the Black Lives Matter movement and how slavery and colonialism still matters for Western businesses. The Black Lives Matter movement has brought the legacy of slavery and colonialism to the Western consciousness in a way perhaps not witnessed since the end of formal colonialism in most African countries in the 1960s. It has reminded Western publics that colonialism lives on today in the forms of economic and knowledge-based dominance as a power structure that reproduces inequality and racism. The corporate sector has not gone unnoticed by the movement.
