Decolonising Medieval Irish Studies
This short article reviews some of the colonial underpinnings of the field of Medieval Irish Studies (a subdiscipline of Celtic Studies), using the career of Whitley Stokes (1830–1909) as a case study in the entanglements between British colonial activity in India and the development of philological research on medieval Irish literature in the 19th century. It then proceeds to use autoethnographic reflections from graduate students in the field o…
To escape the pain
The unfolding model of voluntary turnover established that there is no “one size fits all” turnover experience. Anecdotal evidence suggests that voluntary turnover experiences can be painful, yet the role of social pain (as distinct from dissatisfaction) in turnover and subsequent job selection has not yet received much scholarly attention. In Study 1, we re‐analyze 13 detailed case histories of employees who had recently quit one organization an…
Agency, Consent and Loyalty
This paper explores the depiction of women in the early Middle Irish biblical verse epic Saltair na Rann. Using Michal, the daughter of Saul and wife of David, as a central case study reveals the nature and extent of the anonymous poet’s elaboration of their biblical source, with a creative and dramatic dialogue between Michal and Saul as the audacious centrepiece of that part of the narrative. This paper proceeds to examine some other female cha…
A Replique to a Review in Vol. 33
I write in response to the review by Andrew Breeze published in Mediaevistik 33 (2020) of The Chronicles of Medieval Wales and the March , ed. Ben Guy, Georgia Henley, Owain Wyn Jones, and Rebecca Thomas (Turnhout: Brepols, 2020). I am a member of the editorial board of the Medieval Texts and Cultures of Northern Europe series at Brepols in which the volume was published, and I was responsible for liaising with the editors regarding the peer revi…
Brexit, Europe and othering
The UK has seen, within recent years, a noticeable increase in Euroscepticism, culminating in the vote to leave the European Union altogether. Although there were many reasons for the Brexit vote, the UK, in common with some other EU countries, had become increasingly concerned about rising levels of immigration, particularly from within the EU. This has led to an increase in a process of Othering those of a different background, nationality or r…
Learning about Europe through educational gaming
This paper explores the contribution to geography teaching which can be made by serious games. We describe the ways in which gaming has progressed from “dissected maps” and jigsaws through board games, to the range of online games which are available today. We describe the development, in conjunction with European partner institutions, of a new game, entitled RU EU?, intended to raise student awareness of European issues, notably the question of …
What does Brexit Tell Us about Our Understanding of European Identity
This paper reports on a number of Eurobarometer surveys undertaken by the European Commission as a way of reflecting on Brexit and the challenges it poses to European identity. Our work with the surveys has been undertaken in the context of developing an educational game (RU EU?) which will explore European identity. European citizenship and identity have been strongly promoted by the EU but, while they appear to have been accepted at an elite le…
Assessment of Exposure to VOCs among Pregnant Women in the National Children’s Study
Epidemiologic studies can measure exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using environmental samples, biomarkers, questionnaires, or observations. These different exposure assessment approaches each have advantages and disadvantages; thus, evaluating relationships is an important consideration. In the National Children's Vanguard Study from 2009 to 2010, participants completed questionnaires and data collectors observed VOC exposure source…
The Rhetoric and Reality of Reform in Irish Eschatological Thought, circa 1000-1150
Twisting herself into all shapes
This article argues that the practical jokes running throughout Wilson’s novel Our Nig; or Sketches from the Life of a Free Black (1859) are evidence of a deliberate and sophisticated comic strategy that exploits the spectacular body’s potential for subversive performance and works against the alienating conditions of social and political marginalisation experienced by African Americans in the antebellum period. Initially utilising the crude humo…
Vanishing bodies
In her novel, Midnight robber, Nalo Hopkinson uses Afro-Caribbean folklore and magic in a futuristic setting to re-imagine stock science fiction spaces in a black Atlantic context. Hopkinson is among a small but growing group of Afro-Caribbean women writers of speculative fiction engaged in the political act of rewriting science fiction from the perspective of the marginal subject. This article will address Hopkinson's treatment of cyberspace, th…
Anglo-Saxon and related entries in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (2004)
The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (ODNB) , originally designated the New Dictionary of National Biography , was published in 2004 as a successor to the renowned Dictionary of National Biography (DNB) , edited by Sir Leslie Stephen (1832–1904) and itself published in sixty-three volumes between 1885 and 1900, with supplements. All of the subjects in the old DNB were retained for the ODNB ; new entries were commissioned for a significant …
A Welsh record of an Anglo-Saxon political mutilation
A previously unidentified annal-entry in the Welsh chronicles Brut y Tywysogion and Brenhinedd y Saesson records the blinding of the sons of Ealdorman Ælfhelm as part of the ‘palace revolution’ of 1006. This article discusses how the Old English names Wulfheah and Ufegeat were recorded by Welsh scribes in accordance with Welsh phonological and orthographical norms. Possible Anglo-Saxon sources for the annal-entry are briefly considered and the tr…
A Retrospective Chart Review Comparing Tiagabine and Benzodiazepines for the Treatment of Alcohol Withdrawal
Although benzodiazepines are the standard of care in the treatment of alcohol withdrawal, several studies have suggested that anticonvulsants may be equally effective at alleviating alcohol withdrawal symptoms and may pose less of a risk of causing rebound of symptoms which could contribute to relapse. This report compares treatment outcomes for patients (N=13) treated for alcohol withdrawal with either the anticonvulsant tiagabine or the benzodi…
Learning styles and academic outcome
Background: Vermunt's (1994) Inventory of Learning Styles (ILS) integrates four components of learning: processing strategies, regulation strategies, mental models of learning and learning orientations. Using explanatory factor analysis, Vermunt (1998) identified four different learning styles, meaning-directed, reproduction-directed, application-directed and undirected, which displayed characteristic patterns of factor loadings across the four c…
Organizational Dynamics of Creative Destruction
This book emphasises that entrepreneurship is a social activity that takes place within and among organizational systems rather than as an individual activity. A comprehensive view of entrepreneurship
The Effects of Visibility on Dialogue and Performance in a Cooperative Problem Solving Task
This study compares task outcome and various dialogue parameters between situations in which task participants either could or could not see each other. The results establish that the visibility of one's conversational partner improves information transfer and the management of turn taking in a transactional problem solving task. The greater efficiency of the dialogues between participants who could see each other was attributed to the exchange o…
The Human Communication Research Centre dialogue database
The HCRC dialogue database consists of over 700 transcribed and coded dialogues from pairs of speakers aged from seven to fourteen. The speakers are recorded while tackling co-operative problem-solving tasks and the same pairs of speakers are recorded over two years tackling 10 different versions of our two tasks. In addition there are over 200 dialogues recorded between pairs of undergraduate speakers engaged on versions of the same tasks. Acces…
The Hcrc Map Task Corpus
This paper describes a corpus of unscripted, task-oriented dialogues which has been designed, digitally recorded, and transcribed to support the study of spontaneous speech on many levels. The corpus uses the Map Task (Brown, Anderson, Yule, and Shillcock, 1983) in which speakers must collaborate verbally to reproduce on one participant's map a route printed on the other's. In all, the corpus includes four conversations from each of 64 young adul…
