The Age-shift: observations on social policy, ageism and the dynamics of the adult lifecourse (2007)
Journal Article
Biggs, S., Phillipson, C., Money, A., & Leach, R. (2007). The Age-shift: observations on social policy, ageism and the dynamics of the adult lifecourse. Journal of Social Work Practice, 20(3), 239 - 250. https://doi.org/10.1080/02650530600931708

Through a critical engagement with policy trends, we ask how shifts in ideologies of ageing might influence the possibilities available to adults as they grow older. Of particular interest are the implications for how people are being encouraged to t... Read More about The Age-shift: observations on social policy, ageism and the dynamics of the adult lifecourse.

A set of multilayered films with variable layer thicknesses has been used in an investigation of interlayer mixing and “patterning” of samples with relatively high coercivity and in-plane magnetization. The multilayers with the highest coercivitie... Read More about Ion irradiation and thermally induced mixing of CoCrPt∕Cr multilayered films.

Translocal Circulation: Place and Subjectivity in an Extended Filipino Community (2007)

As migration and mobility produce new subject positions, they transform and extend locality and create both new subjective experiences of place and new subjectivities. This paper explores the culture of circulation that emerges between a migrant send... Read More about Translocal Circulation: Place and Subjectivity in an Extended Filipino Community.

Both reactive and deliberative qualities are essential for a good action selection mechanism. We present a model that embodies a hybrid of two very different neural network architectures inside an animat: one that controls their high level deliberati...

Epilepsy is a common neurological condition, in which drugs are the mainstay of treatment and drugs trials are commonplace. Understanding why patients might or might not opt to participate in epilepsy drug trials is therefore of some importance, part... Read More about Duty, desire or indifference?
