Further to the blog posted on 1 October 2020, the first article from the ‘student safety and campus security’ research has been published on ‘the makings of an exclusive community: students’ perceptions of dangerous others’, published with @SpringerNature in Higher Education international journal. The implications for HEIs are important! The paper argues that students’ suggested safety measures to close the campus off from its local community should be resisted. Rather the focus should be on fostering an inclusive and open campus, one that remains embedded within the city and that attends to social problems visible on its borders, ultimately benefitting both students and marginalised populations.
