The LUMS School magazine draws upon the vast expertise within our leading faculty to showcase our cutting-edge knowledge and highlight our research impact.
In this latest edition of Fifty Four Degrees, we explore how our researchers bring new perspectives to familiar topics, highlighting issues you may never have considered before.
We contemplate an Artificial Intelligence future for our roads, discover how comparisons between sustainability fairy tales can lead to better understanding, and discuss how businesses can use cyber security to innovate their whole operation.
Plus, leadership alternatives, the disability insecurity gap, planning a better future for refugees, and much more.
Fifty Four Degrees Issue 19What do we mean when we say ‘sustainability’? In this edition of Fifty Four Degrees, we show how broad the definition can be by investigating issues including modern slavery, sustainable accounting, and the links between religion and green business behaviours. We also look at the world of online witchcraft, explore the scale of problem gambling in the UK, discuss imposter syndrome, and look closely at the cyber challenges facing small businesses.
Gender inequality remains rife in business and society. This edition explores the diverse range of research taking place throughout Lancaster University Management School in this area. Members of our Academy for Gender, Work and Leadership, along with researchers across the School, investigate the many different areas where inequalities exist, and how they manifest. From fashion industry garment factories to the boardroom, business schools to the South African wine trade, we take in multiple aspects of this important topic.
The future is in focus. We set out plans for impactful LUMS over the coming years, and explore work on crucial areas for the planet and society. We cover everything from solving clean water problems in Africa, how we might help immigrants better fit in in the workplace of their new countries, and the importance of sustainability to SMEs, to the emotional impact of climate change, and racial equality challenges in the NFL. Our researchers also discuss the importance of flexible working arrangements to people with a disability; dark tourism; cryptocurrencies; and online gaming.
