Eating the ocean
No full textIn Eating the Ocean Elspeth Probyn investigates the profound importance of the ocean and the future of fish and human entanglement. On her ethnographic journey around the world's oceans and fisheries, she finds that the ocean is being simplified in a food politics that is overwhelmingly land based and preoccupied with buzzwords like "local" and "sustainable." Developing a conceptual tack that combines critical analysis and embodied ethnography, she dives into the lucrative and endangered bluefin tuna market, the gendered politics of "sustainability;' the ghoulish business of producing fish meal and fish oil for animals and humans, and the long history of encounters between humans and oysters. Seeing the ocean as the site of the entangle¬ment of multiple species - which are all implicated in the interactions of technology, culture, politics - and the market enables us to think about ways to develop a reflexive ethics of taste and place based in the realization that we cannot escape the food politics of the human fish relationship
Replication Data for: Free riding or discounted riding? How the framing of a bike share offer impacts offer-redemption
No full textThis data set contains three .csv files and one .txt file, which contains the code used in R to produce the results shown in the paper. The three .csv files are: PortlandALL (all the data in one place). PortlandNewDocks (only the subset of data for residents with a new station built near their existing home). And PortlandNewMovers (only the subset of data for residents who have newly moved to the area).
These are in three separate files as the author is not proficient in using R and found it easier to work with three different datasets

25 Involvement in palliative and end of life care research
No full textInvolvement of those with experience of using care services is now an important and mandatory part of health and social care research, including palliative and end of life care. Those with direct experience of using palliative and end of life care (patients, carers, friends or family members), such as hospices and care homes can enhance and shape research (Goodman et al., 2011). The distinction is made between ‘participants’ in studies who provide ‘data’ and research carried out ‘with’ or ‘by’ members of the public (as defined by INVOLVE). Involvement in these research areas, has its own challenges (Backhouse et al., 2016; Mockford et al., 2016) and innovative approaches are needed (Brighton et al., 2018). Seeking involvement from people with experience of care at an early stage of research development is key to ensure the research is user-friendly, feasible and has relevant outcomes. Three organisations ran a joint workshop focussing on palliative and end of life care to enable researchers to receive face to face comments from people with experience of palliative and end of life care on their research projects in a ‘dragon’s den’ style session. We will share 1) our experience of this approach to involvement, 2) the experiences of the people who took part and 3) findings from the post evaluation. We will also outline the challenges of involving people in this research area, the importance of ‘feedback’ to those taking part (Mathie et al, 2018) and our learning for the future

State of the Art. The Nexus between European Neighbourhood Policy and Justice and Home Affairs
No full textThe enlargement of the EU to include the ten new member states in Central and Eastern Europe and the two Mediterranean islands on 1 May 2004 and Bulgaria and Romania on 1 January 2007 was the result of a tremendous effort to reconfigure not only the frontiers of Europe, but also the concept of what Europe is. The borders of the EU have been highly unstable since its inception with continuous enlargement process driven by the objectives of peace, stability and prosperity. However, when the logic of stability begins to confound the imaginational and institutional capacities of the EU, a new direction is required. It is at this junction that the neighbourhood policy was developed in March 2003. The mechanism was designed to embrace the neighbours in the Internal Market, but to exclude them from participation in the institutions of the EU. This paper examines to what extent the coincidence of interests of EU citizens and nationals of the neighbours has been realized in the field of movement of persons. It is here that the objective of firm external border controls expressed by the member states’ interior ministries will enter into conflict with the softening of the border for the neighbours. If the authorities of the neighbourhood are persuaded to take repressive action against their own nationals who seek to travel to the EU on the basis of a common fight against irregular migration as part of the ENPs, then the interests of the neighbours’ citizens may not only diverge from those of the EU citizens but also from the actions of their own authorities. In states where the authorities are already in difficulties as regards their popular legitimacy, all too common in some of the neighbours (not to mention member states) this kind of pressure – which may increase popular resentment – may not be conducive to stability. Thus an examination of the European Neighbourhood Plans from the perspective of movement of persons is not only important from a legal perspective, it may be vital to the adoption of a coherent EU policy.European Neighbourhood Policies, European Neighbourhood Plans, Migration, Asylum, Border Management, Visas, Area of Freedom, Security and Justice, Justice and Home Affairs.
