In this blistering critique of the dominant paradigms of social science research, O'Connor and Anderson rage against what they see as a contract between researchers and capitalism which is designed
Drama and theatre in urban contexts
Disabled students in the performing arts – are we setting them up to succeed
Professional training opportunities for students with physical and learning disabilities in the performing arts are conceived and developed in the context of government policy initiatives for inclusion and models of disability that aim to ensure that educational provision is of a kind which does not stigmatise individuals or devalue their performance. In this paper, we consider three partnership programmes linking two theatre companies and one da…
The English model of creativity
The paper presents a socio-political analysis of New Labour's rhetorical uses of the idea and values of creativity to shape cultural policy in England. It examines how the current idea of creativity in policy discussions has been politically reconceptualised as a means of responding to broader socio-political and economic agendas. The paper explores the extent to which the New Labour's social-market political paradigm has contributed to shaping a…
Acting together
Traditionally drama in schools has been seen either as a learning medium with a wide range of curricular uses or as a subject in its own right. This paper argues that the importance of drama in schools is in the processes of social and artistic engagement and experiencing of drama rather than in its outcomes. The paper contrasts the pro-social emphasis in the ensemble model of drama with the pro-technical and limited range of learning in subject-…

English Model of Gifted and Talented Education
This chapter outlines the prevailing model of gifted and talented education in England and to analyze the challenges and opportunities it faces. The English model was formulated in 1999, and implementation effectively started in 2002 with the establishment of the government funded National Academy for Gifted and Talented Youth at the University of Warwick. The approach used to deliver gifted education in England is intended to be integrated in tw…
Taming the political
The emerging sub-field of applied theatre encompasses a wide range of pro-social ‘alternative’ theatre practices, but it also refers to a discursive practice that seeks to reconcile the apparently contradictory claims of the politics of egalitarian redistribution and the politics of difference. The argument in this paper is that this emerging political position reflects a contemporary turn towards the identity politics of recognition and away fro…
Personalised Learning
This paper traces the origins of the concept of personalisation in public sector services, and applies it to school education. The original conceptualisation stressed the need for ‘deep’ rather than shallow, personalisation, if radical transformation of services were to be achieved. It is argued that as the concept has been disseminated and implemented through policy documents, notably the 2005 White Paper, it has lost its original emphasis on de…
A study of social‐market interventions in the shaping of the field of cultural production
A social analysis based on extensive evaluation of the Dance and Drama Awards programme reveals the social‐market political paradigm underpinning the formation of cultural policy in the UK underthe New Labour government. This specific intervention in the field of cultural production is placed in the context of broader government interventions in the cultural domain that seek to give respect to undervalued social and cultural groups. There is a po…
Miracles are happening
This paper seeks out the gaps between localised accounts of drama's efficacy in terms of producing transformations in students’ behaviours and sense of identities and the theoretical accounts of such transformations offered in the textual discourses of the field of Drama in Education. Drawing on a range of post-colonial and emancipatory discourses the paper tentatively suggests certain pre-conditions in the pedagogic and artistic intentions of dr…
The UK Artist's World of Work
UK Higher Education Institutions are being required to reflect on the balance between academic and vocational aspects of their course provision and to identify more clearly how they are preparing their students for employment. This is not a simple matter. The UK arts and cultural sector is highly complex, with the characteristic features of a diversified and fragmented post-Fordist labour market. The artist's world of work is under-described and …
