Petitions and the Material Culture of Political Organisation
This article examines surviving manuscript petitions to reveal the material culture of political organisation. Conceptually, the article frames the material culture of petitions and the practices associated with petitioning as a technology that enabled political activity. As studies of the USA have shown, the signatory list served as a mechanism for political recruitment and organisation. Offering a granular study of material petitions demonstrat…
Introduction
Women's campaigning, petitioning, and grassroots activism, 1945-1997
Petitioning provided a flexible repertoire for women’s political activity in the decades after 1945. Petitioning was a popular, widespread practice: aside from voting, signing a petition was one of the few political activities that engaged a majority of women. Building on a long tradition of British women as active petitioners, petitioning was used by a variety of different groups—local action groups, voluntary associations, political parties, pr…
A Nation of Petitioners
Between 1780 and 1918, over one million petitions from across the four nations were sent to the House of Commons. A Nation of Petitioners is the first study of this nineteenth-century heyday of petitioning in the United Kingdom. It explores how ordinary men and women engaged with politics in an era of democratisation, but not democracy, and restores their voices and actions to the story of UK political culture. Drawing on more than a million peti…
Exercising Time Geography in gender and disaster. Discourse through Women Headed Household experience during drought
Time Geography is a boundary-oriented approach to understanding human activity in space and time. In this study, this concept is implemented to identify the daily activities of Women Headed Household (WHH) and their survival strategies in drought disasters and to understand their root causes through analysing capability, coupling, and authority constraints. This research starts to fill the gap in knowledge of the Time Geography in "Gender and Dis…
Colonial Petitions, Colonial Petitioners, and the Imperial Parliament, ca. 1780–1918
Petitioning was a common form of protest, request, or expression across the British Empire, and historians of colonial rule and resistance have often drawn on petitions as sources to investigate particular controversies. This article assesses the significance, variety, and context of petitioning to the Imperial Parliament from both the British Isles and the colonies. To do so, we present new data drawn from more than one million petitions sent to…
The Politics of Petitioning
Over the course of the long nineteenth century, people in the United Kingdom signed a wide variety of petitions, addresses, testimonials, and related documents. Though many forms of subscriptional culture had medieval and early modern origins, their transformations across this period reveal the shifting perceptions of the crown, parliament, the administrative state, and local government. The article draws on a dataset of more than 1 million petit…
Firmas del conservadurismo
El estudio de las peticiones colectivas en el Reino Unido se ha centrado por lo general en campañas progresistas, reformistas o liberales, y movimientos tales como el antiesclavismo, el radicalismo, el cartismo, el libre comercio o el sufragio femenino. Sin embargo, sería mejor considerar las nuevas formas de petición colectiva surgidas a finales del siglo xviii como tecnologías neutrales. Algunas de las mayores peticiones del siglo xix resultaro…
The British Women's Suffrage Movement and the Practice of Petitioning, 1890–1914
Through an examination of the women's suffrage movement, this article reassesses the place of petitioning within late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century British political culture. While critical of their Victorian predecessors’ reliance on petitions, the Edwardian women's suffrage movement did not abandon petitioning, but reinvented it. Rather than presenting a polarized view of relations between suffragettes and suffragists, the article sho…
Talking to children about their HIV status
As children living with HIV (CLHIV) grow into adolescence and adulthood, caregivers and healthcare providers are faced with the sensitive challenge of when to disclose to a CLHIV his or her HIV status. Despite WHO recommendations for CLHIV to know their status, in countries most affected by HIV, effective resources are often limited, and national guidance on disclosure is often lacking. To address the need for effective resources, gray and scient…
Free Trade and Print Culture
This article highlights the potency of traditional popular print culture as a form of political communication for one of the pioneering campaigns of the nineteenth century: the free trade agitation of the 1840s. Contributing to recent debates about Victorian political communication, it challenges the view that the spread of literacy and print replaced a more traditional, inclusive, hybrid style of communication. The use and adaptation of broadsid…

International student recruitment to universities in England
The recruitment of international students to universities in England has become a central issue in an era of globalisation for university administrators, senior managers, international offices and heads of schools and faculties. We examine the policy rationales for the recruitment of international students to England. Through the use of in‐depth interviews with key role players at four English universities, we compare the rhetoric, rationales and…

Language Policy and Identity
Language is a crucial feature of national and personal identity. Where Nationality is contested or controlled a particular language may be promoted or prohibited and the language of instruction is often informed by a ‘national’ political agenda. In Spain Franco attempted the suppression of Catalan identity prohibiting the public use of Catalan, schooling was conducted in Castilian. After Franco, in 1975 the new constitution promoted autonomy and …
Parents’ Individualist and Collectivist Strategies at the City Technology College, Kingshurst
This paper discusses the attitudes to school choice and to City Technology Colleges of a sample of parents of children at the first CTC at Kingshurst, Solihull. In examining the views of these parents, wider questions about individualist and collectivist strategies towards education are raised
The Durrell-Miller Letters, 1935-80
In 1935, Lawrence Durrell, a young Englishman living on Corfu, wrote enthusiastically to a middle-aged Brooklynite - Henry Miller - of his just published novel Tropic of Cancer. Miller felt that he had found his ideal reader and responded, thus beginning a correspondence that lasted 45 years
