In the last 30 years, a new generation of greenbelts has emerged in planning practice. These recent greenbelts have multi-functional policy goals and are often part of comprehensive regional land-use planning frameworks designed to manage regional growth more effectively. However, these regional greenbelts are increasingly under threat from suburban low-density development and the expansion of infrastructure networks, and their governance is embedded in complex institutional arrangements. These evolving circumstances create considerable challenges for policymakers seeking solutions to effectively govern these regional greenbelts. This study explores how institutional arrangements shape the governance of regional greenbelts in the Greater Golden Horseshoe region of Southern Ontario, Canada, and in the Frankfurt Rhine-Main region, Germany, as well as how these greenspaces could be more effectively managed in the future. The study shows that addressing the complex interactions between institutions and stakeholders involved in greenbelt management creates significant difficulties in coordinating policy implementation across different policy levels, policy fields and jurisdictions. Thus, this study reveals that the current institutional arrangements supporting new generation greenbelts cannot fully deliver on their ambitious policy objectives. To overcome these problems and to effectively manage these greenspaces, this study points to institutional design reforms needed for a new generation of greenbelts.

"Bessie Scott, nearing the end of her first year at university in the spring of 1890, recorded in her diary: "Wore my gown for first time! It didn't seem at all strange to do so." Often deemed a cumbersome tradition by men, the cap and gown were dearly prized by women as an outward sign of their hard-won admission to the rank of undergraduates. For the first generations of university women, higher education was an exhilarating and transformative experience, but these opportunities would narrow in the decades that followed. In University Women Sara MacDonald explores the processes of integration and separation that marked women's contested entrance into higher education. Examining the period between 1870 and 1930, this book is the first to provide a comparative study of women at universities across Canada. MacDonald concludes that women's higher education cannot be seen as a progressive narrative, a triumphant story of trailblazers and firsts, of doors being thrown open and staying open. The early promise of equal education was not fulfilled in the longer term, as a backlash against the growing presence of women on campuses resulted in separate academic programs, closer moral regulation, and barriers that restricted their admission into the burgeoning fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The modernization of higher education ultimately marginalized women students, researchers, and faculty within the diversified universities of the twentieth century. University Women uncovers the systemic inequalities based on gender, race, and class that have shaped Canadian higher education. It is indispensable reading for those concerned with the underrepresentation of girls and women in STEM and current initiatives to address issues of access and equity within our academic institutions."--

This article argues that a gap emerged after the Great War between the first deans of women and their students over the meaning of self-government for academic women. Early deans believed from their own undergraduate experience that self-government provided important training for women to perform public roles, and by doing so, to attack the gendered assumption that men alone could have full undergraduate rights. By contrast, women students of the post-war years embraced a different undergraduate identity, one which assumed a greater degree of personal liberty, and their conception of self-government entailed the right to determine and monitor their own rules of conduct. By examining Manitoba, Queen's, Victoria, Toronto's University College, Dalhousie, and Western, this study adds to the existing literature on moral regulation by exploring how deans were able to develop a new view of student government by incorporating a progressive emphasis on the role of graduate women in participa- tory democracy. Résumé Cet article démontre qu'un fossé est apparu après la Grande Guerre entre les premières Directrices des étudiantes et leurs étudiantes sur la signification de la gouvernance autonome des femmes universitaires. En raison de leur propre expérience au premier cycle, les premières directrices croyaient que cette autonomie offrait une formation importante aux femmes aspirant à occuper des fonctions publiques, tout en contredisant l'hypothèse suggérant que seuls les hommes pouvaient jouir des pleins droits étudiants au premier cycle. En revanche, les étudiantes de l'après-guerre ont adopté une identité différente pour les étudiantes de premier cycle ; une identité reposant sur une plus grande liberté personnelle, et une conception de l'autonomie assumant le droit de déterminer et de contrôler leurs propres règles de conduite. En étudiant les universités Manitoba, Queen's, Victoria, University College (Toronto), Dalhousie et Western, cette étude s'ajoute à la littérature existante sur la réglementation morale en explorant la manière dont les directrices ont pu développer une nouvelle vision du gouvernement étudiant en incorporant progressivement un accent sur le rôle des diplômées dans la démocratie participative.

In Recovering Hegel from the Critique of Leo Strauss, Sara MacDonald and Barry Craig provide a study unique in its focus on Leo Strauss's reading of Hegel. While MacDonald and Craig find value in Strauss's thought, they argue that his pessimism concerning modernity lies in a misunderstanding of both modernity's greatest philosophical advocate, G.W.F. Hegel, and modernity's virtues.

Abstract
In Oedipus at Colonus Sophocles shows that neither individual reason nor piety are singularly sufficient for either individual happiness or the common good. Human understanding is dependent on a decentering of the individual, such that the reason of the wider community, including that of the gods, can augment the limitations of individual perspective. Sophocles shows not only the dependence of faith and reason on one another, but the degree to which both are dependent on reciprocal good will within a community.

Many migrant groups, particularly those that are politically and economically marginalised, such as asylum seekers and refugees (ASRs), face inequities in access to health care as well as poorer physical and mental health outcomes. The role of post-arrival experiences in contributing to these inequities is increasingly being explored, and it is suggested that being a migrant is itself a determinant of health outcomes. Drawing on the theoretical concept of structural vulnerability, this paper explores ASRs' experiences of health, wellbeing, and health practices in the context of their lived realities in Scotland. 24 semi-structured interviews were conducted with ASRs from Sub-Saharan Africa between January and December 2015. Data were explored using thematic analysis. Experience of the UK asylum system, both alone and in conjunction with other sources of vulnerability including racism, poverty, and language barriers had a negative and ongoing impact on the physical and mental health of ASRs. These impacts continued, even once refugee status was obtained. Efforts to engage ASRs in preventive health programmes and practices must take into account the ways in which the asylum system acts as a determinant of health, affecting both what it means to be healthy and what capacity individuals have to engage with their health. Political choices in how the asylum process is enacted have far-reaching implications for individual and population health.
