Out of the comfort zone: Enhancing work-based learning about employability through student reflection on work placements (2014)
Journal Article
Eden, S. (2014). Out of the comfort zone: Enhancing work-based learning about employability through student reflection on work placements. Journal of geography in higher education, 38(2), 266-276. https://doi.org/10.1080/03098265.2014.911826

This paper examines the work-based learning about employability reported by 26 undergraduate Geography and Environmental Management students on part-time, unpaid work placements. The students' “reflective essays” emphasized their learning more in ter...

Investigating household recycling behaviour through the interactions between personal and situational factors (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
A-Jalil, E. E., Grant, D. B., Nicholson, J. D., & Deutz, P. Investigating household recycling behaviour through the interactions between personal and situational factors. Presented at Waste Management and The Environment VII

In recent years household recycling behaviour (HRB) has become a focal point in social science research to understand the concept of household waste recycling management. Household recycling systems involve two main actors: households and municipalit...

Rapid recovery of benthic invertebrates downstream of hyperalkaline steel slag discharges (2014)
Journal Article
Hull, S. L., Oty, U. V., & Mayes, W. M. (2014). Rapid recovery of benthic invertebrates downstream of hyperalkaline steel slag discharges. Hydrobiologia, 736(1), 83-97. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10750-014-1894-5

This study assesses the physical and chemical characteristics of hyperalkaline steel slag leachate from a former steelworks on two streams in England and their impacts on benthic invertebrate communities. Using multivariate methods (CCA), we related... Read More about Rapid recovery of benthic invertebrates downstream of hyperalkaline steel slag discharges.

Context matters: fostering, orphanhood and schooling in sub-Saharan Africa (2014)
Journal Article
Hampshire, K., Porter, G., Agblorti, S., Robson, E., Munthali, A., & Abane, A. (2015). Context matters: fostering, orphanhood and schooling in sub-Saharan Africa. Journal of biosocial science, 47(2), 141-164. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0021932014000169

A growing body of research suggests that orphanhood and fostering might be (independently) associated with educational disadvantage in sub-Saharan Africa. However, literature on the impacts of orphanhood and fostering on school enrolment, attendance... Read More about Context matters: fostering, orphanhood and schooling in sub-Saharan Africa.
