Impact of a national tsetse control programme to eliminate Gambian sleeping sickness in Uganda: A spatiotemporal modelling study
Introduction Tsetse flies ( Glossina ) transmit Trypanosoma brucei gambiense , which causes gambiense human African trypanosomiasis (gHAT). As part of national efforts to eliminate gHAT as a public health problem, Uganda implemented a large-scale programme of deploying Tiny Targets, which comprise panels of insecticide-treated material which attract and kill tsetse. At its peak, the programme was the largest tsetse control operation in Africa. He…

Educational heterotopia and students’ use of Facebook
Facebook use in higher education has grown exponentially in recent years, with both academics and students seeking to use it to support learning processes. Noting that research into educational cyberspace has generally ignored spatial elements, this paper redresses this deficiency through using Foucault’s (1986) discussion of different spaces to examine Facebook use. Recognising that more than simple façade space is also social practice, Foucault…
Biopower and school surveillance technologies 2.0
In recent years the proliferation, speed and reach of school-based surveillance devices has undergone what could be labelled as a revolution. Drawing upon Foucault’s concept of biopower to explore the disciplining of bodies and the biopolitical management of populations, this paper examines ‘new’ school surveillance technologies enabling biometric measurement, electronic detection, substance screening, video observation and data monitoring. Klein…
Surveillance after Snowden
As Lyon (2015, p. 1) states in the opening line of Surveillance After Snowden, ‘[t]his is a book about surveillance, lit up brilliantly by revelations made by Edward Snowden’. In the pages that fol
Governmentality and the 'Selling' of School Surveillance Devices
In late modernity there has been a massive growth in 'new' surveillance devices situated within schools. This paper explores the reasons behind this proliferation, considering the role of key protagonists and the promises made regarding these technologies. It is suggested that there is strong connection between notions of neoliberal governmentality ( Foucault, 2008 ; Gane, 2012 ) and arguments relating to increased security, improved efficiency, …
Schoolchildren, governmentality and national e-safety policy discourse
The introduction of widespread school Internet access in industrialised countries has been accompanied by the materialisation of what can be labelled as a national school e-safety agenda. Drawing upon Foucault's notions of discourse and governmentality, this paper explores how e-safety policy documents serve to constrain the conceptual environment, seeking to determine and limit individuals' thoughts on this matter. Analysing UK and US government…
A Companion to the Early Printed Book in Britain, 1476-1558
The history of the book is now recognized as a field of central importance for understanding the cultural changes that swept through Tudor England. This companion aims to provide a comprehensive guide to the issues relevant to the early printed book, covering the significant cultural, social and technological developments from 1476 (the introduction of printing to England) to 1558 (the death of Mary Tudor). Divided into thematic sections (the pri…
Seductions of risk and school cyberspace
Drawing upon the cultural risk perspective and writings on risk taking, this paper seeks to develop ideas relating to the effective use of school cyberspace. It is argued that some individuals respond to exaggerated, yet seductive, discourses of online risks by over-blocking, unreasonably restricting students' Internet activity. At the same time, there are sensible, even compelling, motivations for teachers as well as students to use the school I…
Student resistance to the surveillance curriculum
The growth of surveillance in UK schools in recent years has resulted in the development of what can be labelled as the surveillance curriculum. Operating through the overt and hidden curricula, contemporary surveillance practices and technologies not only engage students in a discourse of control, but also increasingly socialise them into a ‘culture of observation’ in which they learn to watch and be watched, accepting unremitting monitoring as …
CCTV, school surveillance and social control
Burgeoning fears for safety in UK schools have resulted in a rapid growth in the use of various security measures, most notably closed‐circuit television (CCTV) systems. Utilising semi‐structured interviews and non‐participant observation this research examines how CCTV is used in schools, explores the manner in which this facilitates social control and considers the wider implications of such surveillance technology. It is argued that this techn…
"Risk Taking, Boundary Performance and Intentional School Internet "Misuse
Whilst the association of risk with schools is predominately a negative one, fostering images of potential dangers, this paper draws upon a socio-cultural counter-discourse to explore the perceived benefits of certain risk taking activities within educational establishments. Using research data on school Internet “misuse” it is argued that some students benefit from engaging in boundary performance. This can be seen as a type of risky behaviour i…
School Internet use, youth and risk: A social‐cultural study of the relation between staff views of online dangers and students' ages in UK schools
Internet access has recently been introduced into over 30,000 schools in the UK. While web provision has been heralded by some as an educational panacea, it is also recognised that there are dangers inherent in school Internet use. Adopting the cultural risk perspective, drawing upon a social‐cultural analysis of Internet regulation and utilising the concepts of liminality and ‘otherness’, this article explores staff Internet risk perspectives. W…
Panopticism, play and the resistance of surveillance: Case studies of the observation of student Internet use in UK schools
The introduction of Internet access into over 30,000 UK schools has led to the adoption of a variety of disciplinary policies, procedures and practices. Critically engaging with writings on panopticism, this paper explores the surveillance of student online activity. It is noted that Internet surveillance in schools includes control through physical observation and limited use of computer databases. For from being passive subjects of observation,…
“Is Ethnicity Obsolete?”
So what is ethnicity, and who is ethnic? I teach a course at the University of California at Berkeley, and I have encouraged students to write from the experience of their ethnic background. I have mostly American-European students who, when given this assignment, often write stories about a “black” person. So I guess in the United States, ethnicity is interchangeable with being black. In other words, “blacks” are the only ethnic group in the Uni…
