“…Researchers who study exclusion might also consider including marginalized individuals in knowledge production and co-authorship, not only because it is ethical but also because it holds the potential of producing superior insight (Bracic 2018; Dunajeva 2018). For an example of a community-based participatory research project, see Kennedy and Smith (2019), who, alongside 18 Roma peer researchers and a community research advisory group, explore the needs of Roma children in education in Ireland. While not all scholars may be able to carry out inclusive scholarship at this level, coauthoring or at least engaging with work by scholars who are also members of marginalized groups is more easily attainable.…”

Social exclusion is complex, intractable, and devastating. It occurs where individuals or groups cannot fully participate in the typical activities of the societies in which they live, whether they are excluded economically, politically, or live in segregation. In this review, I highlight recent work in the area of social exclusion and ethnicity, focusing on Europe and Eurasia. Scholarship reveals ethnic hierarchies of exclusion in hiring and housing markets, educational approaches that cloak assimilationist practice in the language of inclusion, a plethora of strategies that minorities use to navigate exclusion, and more. While new research brings innovation and insight, it nevertheless remains fragmented along several dimensions. As scholars work to move the field forward, bridging substantive areas of exclusion, studying the complex dynamic of interactions between majorities and minorities, and collaborating across methodological divides would be particularly valuable.

“…It is worth mentioning the relationship between production growth after the 2004-2008 period and the historical events and/or social circumstances (Andersen and Hammarfelt 2011). One of the main initiatives aimed at the inclusion of the Roma community happened in the decade of the inclusion of gypsies from 2005-2015(European Commission 2015 where different actions were carried out to improve their living conditions and avoid discriminating situations (Antúnez et al 2017;Kennedy and Smith 2019).…”

This study is a scientometric analysis of doctoral theses defended in Spain and Portugal during the 1977-2018 period related to the Roma. The search of doctoral theses has been carried out using the main databases and repositories of Higher Education institutions, of which 237 doctoral theses have been registered for the study period. Different scientific indicators have been considered related to diachronic productivity, directors, institutions, citation and content. The Bibliometrix R package has been used as an analysis tool in both scientometrics and bibliometrics. The findings highlight a growth in productivity of doctoral theses, a production characterized by directors, occasional universities, and a social network formed by the most productive directors in doctoral theses on the Roma.

“…There is recurring evidence across Europe of the direct and indirect discrimination experienced by Roma in accessing housing with many residing in substandard accommodation at risk of eviction and high levels of homelessness (FRA, 2009a(FRA, , 2009b; FXB Center for Health and Human Rights and Harvard School of Health, 2014; Kennedy & Smith, 2019;Nolan, 2011).…”

The concepts of sustainable development (SD) and sustainable communities (SCs) are firmly on policy agendas. Conceptual clarity is essential for the selection of highquality indicators to monitor progress in these areas. However, there are very mixed views about the nature of social sustainability (SS), and SC is rarely defined. Definitions that exist are extremely limited. This paper addresses these deficiencies by presenting a new definition and conceptualisation of SC in which addressing both social and environmental needs is critical. SS is clearly defined as addressing basic human needs, so that the criterion of sufficiency is met. Ensuring 'sufficiency' is crucial to ensure the provision of welfare within planetary boundaries, firmly integrating the social and environmental in conceptualising and operationalising SS. Using the new SC framework, the paper illustrates how regeneration programmes targeting housing could simultaneously address many social and environmental problems contributing to more progress on many dimensions of SD and the UN SD goals (UNSDGs).
