Notes
1. The papers in this special issue both reflect and extend the debates fostered by the conference of the same name that took place at the Scottish Trades Union Congress and Glasgow University in March 2012. This brought together academics, activists, trades unionists, students and community activists. We thank all those who took place in making the conference a space of vibrant discussion and engagement. We also thank the Urban Studies Foundation/Human Geography Research Group of the University of Glasgow for funding the conference. We also thank Ronan Paddison for his very helpful and committed editorial engagement with this special issue.
