Towards Caring Technologies in Older Adult Care Through the Co-Creation of an Ethical Process Guide
As populations age, the gap between care needs and available support systems is widening, leading to critical vulnerabilities in staffing, infrastructure, and funding. The need for accessible, human-centred, and ethically grounded care technologies is growing. However, the development of digital health tools often lacks inclusivity and practical guidance. Existing ethical frameworks tend to remain abstract, which limits their real-world applicati…

Remembering Tony King
Tony King combined scholarship with a real‐world grasp that few could match. This was evident both in his public activities and in his published work. His studies of legislatures and of career politicians changed the way in which issues were viewed and he was skilled at identifying emerging trends before anyone else. He analysed the failings of government, but always as a practical improver. He was a natural communicator in the Bagehot tradition,…
Democracy in Britain: Retrospect and Prospect
The EU referendum has raised questions about the nature of democracy, which is not just majority rule. It is wrong to claim that direct democracy has now replaced representative democracy, as Parliament is required to answer all the questions that the referendum did not. The conduct of the referendum reflected the worst aspects of Britain's political culture of sterile adversarialism. Both left and right have shared assumptions about governing th…
Britain's missed opportunity in Europe
Whatever happened to the F word in higher education
As a women's studies academic who has taught health and social care students for four years in the UK, it strikes me that much of what and how I teach is incompatible with my own pedagogic position. At a time of government cuts and economic austerity there are ever shrinking opportunities to work in women's studies environments within the higher education academy, and I often find there is a mismatch between what I am offering as an academic and …
The Mould Broken
A long generation ago, in 1979, Roy Jenkins announced in his Dimbleby lecture that the time had come to break the mould of British politics. It has taken a long time, and some false starts along the way, to get there, but in this election year it is clear that the mould has finally broken. Politics in Britain can no longer be fitted into its traditional shape. Some will lament this, or pretend it is not happening, but it would be more sensible to…
After the Election: Where Now
We are now all being wise after the event. It seems so obvious that this was an election that the Conservatives were likely to win, a fact only obscured by those misleading opinion polls suggesting it was too close to call. Able to claim credit for economic recovery, and having cleverly pinned the blame on Labour for the crash, the Conservatives had a winning platform. By contrast, Labour struggled with both its message and its messenger. The Sco…
Recalling MP s: Accountable to Whom
The legislation on recall of MP s, introduced as a response to the parliamentary expenses scandal, was presented as filling an accountability gap. The nature of this alleged gap is examined, and it is argued that the accountability of Members of Parliament is more complicated than the recall proposal suggests. This includes issues about the regulation of parliamentary standards. Finally, the recall proposal is located within the context of discus…
Managing gendered expectations upon resettlement: The experiences of Iraqi Kurdish Muslim women in the UK
This article discusses research surrounding the migration experiences of Iraqi Kurdish Muslim women migrants who have settled in the UK. Looking at some of the important and influential works by post-colonial feminist writers, what is revealed are arguments that provide some false senses of separation between different women. These writers' concepts provide for a stagnation of extreme oppositionally based models of power that fail to recognise th…
What Is It About Politicians
Why do people dislike politicians and could anything be done about it? Drawing upon survey evidence, it is argued that the twin charge against politicians is that they are engaged in a kind of game and that they are a political class out of touch with real life. These charges are examined and found to have at least some merit. Remedies would involve a change in political behaviour; and measures to widen political recruitment. The consequences of …
Second language teacher education: Review of recent research on practice
Second language teacher education (SLTE) has undergone considerable change over the past 25 years. The question of how language teaching is learnt and how programmes of professional preparation can contribute to this process now elicits quite different answers. A new agenda of theory and practice has emerged as SLTE has incorporated many of the ideas and practices of reflection (Schön 1983). At the same time, it has drawn increasingly on feeder f…

Factors Influencing Successful Submission of PhD Theses
This article examines the submission rates of 3579 postgraduate research students who studied for the traditional PhD degree at a single large civic university between 1984 and 1993. An examination is made of individual factors which may have an effect on students' rate of completion, attempting to identify characteristics of the student 'most likely to succeed'. The analysis excludes intrinsic student characteristics and institutional conditions…
What are MPs for
After the expenses scandal, it is time to ask what Members of Parliament are for. The traditional formal arguments are inadequate as they fail to engage with what MPs actually do. A typology is useful in illuminating the different ways in which MPs see their role: as Lickspittles, Loyalists, Localists, Legislators, Loners and Loose Cannons. Current trends in the performance of these roles can be identified, raising questions about the nature of p…

The Political Quarterly , 2009 Lecture: Doing Politics Differently
A discussion of how politics is done in Britain, and how it could be done differently. It explores the relationship between culture and structure in politics, and between strong government and effective accountability. The argument is that the concentration on structures can lead to a neglect of the importance of political culture. It suggests that there are three democratic levels, and that Britain does better on one than on the others; and iden…

Towards awareness of English as a professional language
Much recent work on language awareness in teacher‐training programmes has focused quite rightly on teachers’ knowledge about the language they are teaching. The authors’ work (1993, 1994 and 1995) has, by and large, dwelt on the development of methodological approaches to awareness‐raising about language on teachers’ programmes. This paper discusses the potential extension of awareness‐raising techniques to the wider concerns of English as a prof…
