Common people? The elite market for ordinariness and how it legitimises income inequality

Aaron Reeves, Sam Friedman

Recent research has established that elites in many contexts are keen to portray themselves as ordinary and that such strategies of impression management have distinct reputational pay-offs. In this article, we draw on a range of experiments with a representative sample of the UK population to explore what happens when elite expressions of ordinariness are undermined. Our results suggest that elites are generally not punished when new – and potentially contradictory – information comes to light, unless such evidenc …

Beneath the surface: Seed bank homogenization and multiscalar variation in Boston's community gardens

Kristen Jovanelly, Theresa W. Ong

Abstract Urban community gardens are often assumed to enhance fine‐scale biodiversity, yet repeated disturbance and shared horticultural norms may also contribute to urban biotic homogenization—the convergence of species composition across spatial scales and sites within the urban matrix. We conducted a seed bank emergence trial over 16 months across 350 plots in 37 community gardens spanning eight neighbourhoods in Boston, USA, to assess how germinant abundance, diversity and composition varied across plots, garde …
