places of social inclusion
concept
Institutions endowed by a society or a community with material resources, meaning, and values at geographic sites where citizens can access services for specific needs
Important institutions in
democratic society
fulfills normative social purposes
combination of
place and institution produces precariousness
is inherent in the local character of places and place claiming
essential services for all citizens is precarious because it must be continuously accomplished at the local level each time a citizen makes a claim for services from a specific geographically bounded site in a neighborhood, town, or city
person who visits a public place to access its material and symbolic resources as ‘‘making a claim’’ on the place
INSTITUTIONS AND PLACE
Place
geographic location
physical form that includes natural and built resources, material objects, and organizing routines
invest a place with special meaning and value based on their relationship with its history and identity
Scott’s (2014) definition implies that a place
should be conceptualized as an institution
supported normatively by values and beliefs that
define what inhabitants should strive to attain and how
is regulated by laws, rules, and codes of conduct that seek to control and order how people interact with and in that place
evoke shared meanings and ‘‘a way of seeing, knowing and understanding the world’’
People’s capacity to associate a place with a common enterprise and ascribe
enduring meanings suggests that places are institutions
is nested across societal and local levels
Contribution
identification of the concept of a place of social inclusion challenges researchers to consider the implications and potential scope conditions for established theories
conceptual insights into places of social inclusion move the literature forward by elucidating a puzzle that cuts across the literatures in sociology, public administration, and institutional theory
findings challenge this assumption because typifications of profession and organization are inadequate for capturing how societal-level values inhere in places at the local level
recognize that processes associated with professions and public-sector organizations also occur in places of social inclusion
Contributions to Custodian Work
how custodian work maintains institutions
custodian work that engages with institutional boundaries as permeable entails balancing a set of value tensions not evident when the mode of engagement is containment
Emotions and Institutional Work
extend prior research that shows moral emotions play a role in institutional work by illuminating when and how they can activate custodian work that protects an institution’s values
highlights how moral emotions motivate custodian work when actors care deeply about the values of an institution and perceive tension between those values and their accomplishment in local places
findings reveal that embedded actors can feel emotional
attachment to both institutions and local places
casts new light on the role
that fear plays in institutions
Maintaining Places of Social Inclusion
reciprocal relationship between people and place
Places are created, reproduced, and transformed by the human activities and social relations that transpire in a particular locale, as people experience and interpret the place’s historically contingent meanings, values, routines, and resources
Other clues about how places of social inclusion might be maintained can be found in the literature on institutional work
first insight concerns the institutional work of the actors who respond to claims on a place of social inclusion
The second insight sheds light on the processes and emotions that might be involved in custodians’ institutional work
The third insight concerns the intentionality of the work involved in
maintaining a place of social inclusion
