Title: Nursery Street – Reconfiguring the Margin

Author: Niamh Lincoln

Abstract: The thesis looked at the social repercussions of heightened political hostility on marginalised communities across three adjacent wards in Sheffield. Through the creation of a community-initiated scheme unifying existing neighbourhood resources into one programme it considered whether the establishment of joint platforms (and indeed the process to achieving this) could lend communities greater weight for carrying out their objectives and whether being positioned at the edge of communities could encourage broader interaction.
