The paper explores how these dynamics affect research group composition and organizational environments, alongside father-spe…

A Delphi Study to Develop Items for a New Tool for Measuring Child Neglect for Use by Multi-Agency Practitioners in the UK

This definitional vagueness can be a particular challenge for professions, including social work.

Seamus Heaney as aesthetic thinker
Seamus Heaney’s unexpected death in August 2013 brought to completion his body of work, and scholars are only now coming to understand the full scale and importance of this extraordinary career. The Nobel Prize–winning poet, translator, and playwright from the North of Ireland is considered the most important Irish poet after Yeats and, at the time of his death, arguably the most famous living poet. For this reason, much of the scholarship to dat…
Beckett’s creatures
