Open letter
Despite growing investment in restoration, weak accountability and poor biodiversity monitoring mean many projects fail to achieve ecological recovery. The Global Biodiversity Standard (TGBS) offers a practical way to ensure that restoration finance delivers measurable gains for nature. By providing independent, site-based verification and engaging local experts, TGBS builds trust, transparency and equity in restoration practice. Its adoption cou…
Looking back, thinking forward
In 2023, the Australian Quality Initial Teacher Education Review found many graduates underprepared to teach in several key areas. As part of an ongoing study this article reports on Phase Two data (n = 60, 2025) across three Australian universities regarding ITE student perceptions of Art forms they feel most and least prepared to teach. Using a Qualtrics survey data were coded and analysed thematically. Respondents identified either Visual Arts…
Food banks in schools in England
This article investigates the number and distribution of food banks in schools in England. Drawing on a novel source of nationally representative data, we show that one in five schools operate a food bank. This amounts to over 4000 school‐based food banks across the country. This important finding shows that there are now more food banks inside schools than outside of them. Our analysis, using responses from representative Teacher Tapp data ( n =…
Arts education matters, what are we waiting for? Perceptions of initial teacher education students in Australia
The Arts are known to foster creativity, empathy, self-efficacy, social awareness, and critical thinking skills. Engagement in and through the Arts contributes to building social cohesion while supporting wellbeing. This research takes place in Australia were the Arts (Dance, Drama, Media Arts, Music, and Visual Arts) play an important role in society, and across school curriculum. This paper forms part of a wider study (name to be inserted). We …
Henry James
The relationship between Henry James and the American neurologist Dr. James Collins (1866–1960) has largely been ignored. The discovery of a hitherto unpublished letter from James to Collins redresses the balance and throws light on James’s state of mind following his brother William’s death and his need to consult with Collins. The article also reflects critical dissatisfaction with Leon Edel’s biographical account of James and Collins’s more pe…

From practice to pedagogy
In response to the growing need for authentic, pedagogically sound assessment in Initial Teacher Education (ITE), this study presents a model of praxis-focused Creative Arts assessment designed to integrate arts-making, critical reflection, and pedagogical theorising. Drawing on a multi-site, collaborative autoethnographic study involving six Australian universities, the research uses document analysis and thematic analysis of student survey data…
George Henry Lewes’ Diary for January–March 1872
The year 1871 closed with George Eliot [GE: Marian Evans] (1819–80)] battling health problems, even as she strove to complete what would become Middlemarch. “My health,” she wrote on 20 December, “
W. B. Yeats
The discovery of a hitherto unknown unpublished late W. B. Yeats letter reveals sources for his critically neglected poem “Upon a Dying Lady” first published in 1917. The letter also shows Yeats’s fascination with hearing voices in a dream

Youth Orchestra Participation and the Potential Support for Player Resilience
Resilience is a key capacity for coping with challenges and adversities. With increased reporting of anxiety and depression among young people in Australia, finding effective strategies to help bolster resilience is an imperative. Community youth music organizations, such as youth orchestras, play a unique social, cultural, and educational role and are well placed to foster the development of resilience in young musicians. Drawing on research con…

Aubrey de Vere’s Political Passions in His Sonnet on Milton Annotated by Landor
Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864) annotates one of Aubrey Thomas de Vere’s (1814–1902) sonnets as “Worthy of Milton.” By delving into a complex web of intertextuality, this article analyzes de Vere’s sonnet in the light of his literary criticism and from the perspective of Landor’s manuscript neglected note, interpreted via the useful link of William Wordsworth
A comparative perspective on social class inequalities in parental involvement in education
The goal of this paper is to extend research on parental involvement in education and its relationship to social class and inequalities. We do so by developing a new theoretical framework that helps us to better understand and explain cross-national and cross-cultural differences in how parental involvement in education differs across socio-economic groups. We propose that giving greater analytical attention to the role of institutional factors, …

Schools and food charity in England
This paper critically examines the development of food charity in schools in England. Growing numbers of schools, often in partnership with charities and businesses, are directly providing food to parents who are struggling to feed their families. This paper analyses how and why this is happening and its broader significance. The growth of food charity in schools is explained through a mixture of a retreating welfare state, an ongoing cost of liv…
Thirty-Six Unpublished Letters from William Henry Davies to Edward Thomas
Edward Thomas (1878–1917) is largely known today as a great poet of the First World War. He also was a journalist, essayist and novelist. Thirty-six unpublished letters from the Anglo-Welsh writer William Henry Davies (1871–1940) to Thomas, now in the Hugh Walpole Collection at the King’s School, Canterbury, reveal a close friendship and Thomas’s strong support for an unknown impoverished fellow writer. In addition, the letters throw much light o…
John Ruskin and Joseph Clarke
It is surprising that there appears to be no record of contact between John Ruskin and the Victorian architect Joseph Clarke (1819–1888). There is no mention of Clarke in the Index to the Library E
Aspirations
This article argues for the importance of studying the moral meanings that young people attach to their aspirations and plans for the future. Drawing on semi-structured interview data with 29 young people from a sixth-form college in a disadvantaged area of East London, I show that aspirations are closely connected to the formation of individual and group identities, and the making of inter-group boundaries. I argue that young people develop aspi…
Religion and reducing prejudice
Drawing on findings from the study of prejudice and prejudice reduction, we identify a number of mechanisms through which religious communities may influence the intergroup attitudes of their members. We hypothesize that religious participation could in principle either reduce or promote prejudice with respect to any given target group. A religious community’s influence on intergroup attitudes will depend upon the specific beliefs, attitudes, and…

Children’s centres, families and food insecurity in times of crisis
We examine how children’s centres in a major city in England responded to food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic by helping to run ‘FOOD Clubs’ to support families. Drawing on data from semi-structured interviews with children’s centre staff, we analyse how clubs were organised, why people joined them, and the range of benefits parents derived from them. We extend the literature on food insecurity which focuses heavily on the rise of foodba…

Helen Caddick was born in West Bromwich to a land-owning family from Hereford. She travelled widely and became a Governor of the University of Birmingham. Her travel diaries for the years between 1889 and 1914 describe her trips to, and meetings with people from, many countries, including Palestine, Egypt, Japan, China, Russia, Australia, New Zealand, India and Mexico. Caddick regrets the replacement of musical and significant local place names w…
