The Languaging of Research
This article reports a qualitative study that explored researcher thinking and practice (i.e., praxis) regarding the language dimension of doing research (i.e., researching multilingually). The study drew on a large interdisciplinary research project which explicitly foregrounded language considerations and problematised the languaging of research. We used an ecological lens to analyse end‐of‐project researcher reflections to explore the shaping …

From “business‐like” to businesses
This paper sets out an archival account of events leading up to the mass agencification of the British civil service by the Thatcher administration (1979–1990). This account holds lessons for contemporary understandings of the ideological roots and institutional structures of corporatization. When Thatcher came to power in 1979, she wanted to make government “efficient” through the adoption of “business‐like” practices. We show that this project …
Australia's Covid-19 public budgeting response
Purpose This paper explores how neoliberalism restrains the ability of governments to respond to crises through budgetary action. It examines the immediate budgetary responses to the COVID-19 pandemic by the Australian government and explores how the conditions created by prior neoliberal policies have limited these responses. Design/methodology/approach A review and examination of the prior literature on public budgeting and new public managemen…
Enhancing Direct Practice with Forgotten Australians
The term “Forgotten Australians” refers to adults who as children were placed in out-of-home care in Australia between 1920 and 1989. Following the Australian Government’s apology to Forgotten Australians in 2009, the Federal and State Governments funded specific services to address the lifelong consequences of abuse and neglect inflicted upon Forgotten Australians. The impacts include difficulty forming and maintaining relationships, poor educat…
Valuing a translingual mindset in researcher education in Anglophone higher education
This article explores some implications of plurilingualism and translingual practice for teaching and learning in higher education. Research in this area tends to focus on the undergraduate experience whereas our focus is on doctoral supervision, a less-discussed but rich site for studying plurilingual and translingual practice. We consider linguistic aspects of research supervision interactions and linguistic practices in research sites in real …

Researching multilingually
This paper reports findings from an AHRC ‐funded project into the use of more than one language in research projects. Using 35 seminar presentations and 25 researcher profiles, we investigated how researchers from differing disciplines became aware of the possibilities, complexities, and emerging practices of researching where more than one language is used: for example, in initial research design, literature reviews, consent procedures, data gen…
It's a very difficult question isn't it?” Researcher, interpreter and research participant negotiating meanings in an education research interview
Writers within A pplied L inguistics and beyond have argued for research papers using interview methods to acknowledge all participants' contributions to that data for example, K vale and B rinkmann, and M ann. When research encounters involve participants who do not all share each other's languages, interpreters are often brought in as mediators and the issues of how to represent the research encounter and the data transparently increase. T empl…
Offshoring and outsourcing the ‘unauthorised’
Since the inception of Australia's mandatory immigration detention policy for ‘unauthorised’ arrivals, border issues have generated significant public discussion. The policy is controversial and has been made more complicated by the outsourcing and offshoring of detention centre management and processing. Despite the diversity of actors involved in the government's mandatory detention policy (such as private security firms and intergovernmental o…

Postgraduate study and managers’ subsequent work experience
Drawing on an exploratory qualitative study, this article considers the link between business school teaching at graduate level and subsequent work behaviour and experiences of former students. It evaluates the student experience some time after graduation. The findings of the retrospective evaluation point to the value of classroom peer discussion, the testing of ideas against prior work experience and the opportunity to make sense of organisati…

Graduate Employability, ‘Soft Skills’ Versus ‘Hard’ Business Knowledge
There is a growing awareness in the UK and mainland Europe of the importance of higher education to the development of a knowledge‐based economy. European universities are increasingly required to produce highly mobile graduates able to respond to the ever‐changing needs of the contemporary workplace. Following the Bologna Declaration (1999), higher education across Europe has expanded rapidly. This has resulted in questions being raised about th…
Wheeling uphill? Reflections of practical and methodological difficulties encountered in researching the experiences of disabled volunteers
This paper focuses on methodological and practical issues surrounding research into disabled volunteers. It focuses on three key methodological and practical issues which were encountered by the author in preparing for and conducting fieldwork: difficulties in conceptualising disability for the purpose of the study; problems of access; and problems of reflexivity. Attention is also given to how the researcher responded to the problems and difficu…
Who are your public? A survey comparing the views of a population-based sample with those of a community-based public forum in Scotland
differences in demographic profiles and opinions about different feedback mechanisms (patient representative, telephone helpline and NHS feedback website) and their likely effectiveness in three different scenarios. 46% of community forum members consented to take part compared to 24% of the population sample. Younger people and residents in more deprived areas were under-represented in both groups. Community forum members were older (only one un…

Caregiver Role Appraisal and Caregiver Tasks as Factors in Ending Caregiving
This study focuses on factors related to why people with primary responsibility for providing care to ADL-impaired elderly persons ended their caregiving roles. Data are from the 1982 National Long-Term Care Survey and the Informal Caregiver Survey. Variables reflecting characteristics of care recipients and caregivers, caregiver role responsibilities, and appraisal of the caregiver role are investigated. Of particular interest is the influence o…
Don't Pass Us By
The implementation of equal opportunities policies in relation to lesbian and gay issues in education is enormously difficult and controversial. Meaningful policies must start from a perspective which challenges heterosexism, the assumption that gay relationships are of less value than heterosexual ones. All teachers and education workers, not only those who are gay, have a responsibility to keep lesbian and gay issues on the equal opportunities …
