Notes

1. See http://www.asanet.org/press/20030801_3.cfm

2. Between 2001 and 2011, I cannot identify any article in Ethnic and Racial Studies that takes the War on Terror as its central theme – one spoke of ‘an era of global terror’ (Stone and Pizova 2007); one mentioned, briefly, the impact of antiterrorism legislation (Cole 2009); another discussed the ‘British jihad’ (Bhatt 2010); and there was a notable shift towards analysis of Muslim communities. However, the overarching frame of a ‘war’ that spans international military engagement and domestic reworking of security legislation does not seem to have been a central organizing theme for contributors to this leading journal.

5. Others have critiqued the impact of such technical approaches to race equality, for example Ahmed (2007) and Creegan et al. (2003).

6. The REF system to evaluate research outcomes across universities has introduced the controversial criterion of ‘impact’ – who cares about your research and what can it do for them? UK scholars have campaigned against this criterion as an erosion of academic freedom and a further degradation of the university. For details of the system, see http://www.hefce.ac.uk/research/ref/impact/

7. Equality legislation in England and Wales tasked public bodies with a duty to promote equality – and much research is focused on how such duties may be achieved. Private-sector organizations have no positive duty to promote equality and, therefore, research that focuses on private-sector activity tends to consider the business benefits of diversity and the barriers to progression for particular groups.
