UK Higher Education staff experiences of moral injury during the Covid-19 pandemic
The UK higher education senior management survey
In this paper, we present results from an extensive survey of United Kingdom (UK) university academics investigating satisfaction with senior managers and university governance: the Senior Management Survey (SMS). In total, 5888 academic staff across the United Kingdom Higher Education (HE) sector completed the survey, and results were used to construct a league table of staff satisfaction with management. This table is a stark indictment of the …

Civilization and War
Brett Bowden's book opens with a question: are there two bigger topics than civilization and war? Given this immensity, the decision to produce a relatively short book on civilization and war could
Paediatric spinal fusion surgery and the transition to home-based care
There are more than 12 million children with special healthcare needs (CSHCNs) in the United States, many of whom require specialised health-care to treat chronic physical and developmental conditions. This study is a qualitative investigation of programme, surgical and at-home recovery experiences among CSHCNs and their family carers who participated in a spine surgical care programme at a paediatric hospital in the Western United States. The pr…

Why should I read histories of science
History of science is, we are told, an important subject for study. Its rise in recent years to become a ‘stand alone’ discipline has been mirrored by an expansion of popular history of science texts available in bookstores. Given this, it is perhaps surprising that little attention has been given to how history of science is written. This article attempts to do that through constructing a typology of histories of science based upon a considerati…

CCCS Selected Working Papers
This chapter considers the 'strange fate of progressive education' in the postwar period and explores the way in which its ideas and themes have been taken up and distorted by the new vocationalism of the 1970s and 1980s. The concerns of progressive education had to some extent been reflected in liberal and general studies in the 1960s and were echoed by the 'humanism' of the Crowther Report. The aim of liberal and general studies was to move stu…
Natural-Born Cyborgs
Natural-Born Cyborgs
From the Publisher: In Natural-Born Cyborgs, Clark argues that what makes humans so different from other species is our capacity to fully incorporate tools and supporting cultural practices into our existence. Technology as simple as writing on a sketchpad, as familiar as Google or a cellular phone, and as potentially revolutionary as mind-extending neural implants - all exploit our brains' astonishingly plastic nature. Our minds are primed to se…

Sexual Attraction and Childhood Association
Incest Avoidance and Familial Bonding
This article examines the incest taboo from a sociobiological perspective, arguing that while inbreeding avoidance mechanisms are likely genetically based, the specific form and intensity of incest prohibitions are culturally shaped. Erickson challenges the Westermarck effect, which posits that close childhood association leads to sexual aversion, by presenting ethnographic data from diverse societies. He argues that familial bonding, rather than…
