Shortlisted for Prestigious SAGE Prize

Can small acts of urban care, maintenance and cleaning make for a good city?

A recent paper by Dr Tom Hall and Dr Robin Smith exploring this question has been shortlisted for the prestigious SAGE Prize for Innovation and Excellence.

The SAGE Prize is awarded annually to one paper in each of the British Sociological Association’s journals: Cultural Sociology, Sociological Research Online, Sociology, and Work, Employment and Society.

It is awarded to the paper judged to represent innovation or excellence in the field. The winning papers will be made available for free electronically for a limited time to encourage usage and citation.

‘Care and Repair and the Politics of Urban Kindness’ by Dr Tom Hall and Dr Robin Smith was published in the journal Sociology in 2015.
