Aftasten/Tantear: A sensorial, coalitional wayfinding among Muslim runners
Abstract Muslim recreational runners in Muslim‐minority settings that take up running as their preferred form of leisure indicate that they feel they have to navigate a sense of exclusion when running outdoors. This article explores the process of exploration and sensing in public, represented by the Dutch verb aftasten, to investigate the way Muslim ...

Spent foundry sand (SFS) is a solid waste generated in large quantities by the foundry industry. The use of the SFS as a substitute for natural sand is a more sustainable solution to address disposal issues. In this study, rectangular concrete blocks were developed for use in paving with total replacement of natural sand by SFS contaminated with ...

Ameliorating Linguistic Anchors of Oppression
ABSTRACT The words we use to represent the world shape how we interpret and respond to it; language frames what it represents. In some cases, these frames can have prejudicial effects; for example, ‘workplace flirting’ versus ‘sexual harassment’. This article examines how specific words and phrases (i.e.
