Fostering “parental participation in schooling”
The COVID-19 school closures presented an unprecedented challenge to primary education on a global scale, with teachers, parents, and children having to rapidly adjust to a remote learning environment, and with concerns that this would exacerbate educational inequalities. Parental engagement has been widely acknowledged to have a positive impact on children's academic achievement, and previous studies have found that efforts by schools to foster …

Perceived accessibility of employment sites by jobseekers and the potential relevance of employer-subsidised demand responsive transport to enhance the commute
The constraints placed by the transport options available to job-seekers are key factors for the accessibility of employment locations and therefore social inclusion. The present paper investigates the importance of these constraints and the potential appeal of an employer-subsidised Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) service to job-seekers at risk of social exclusion. Mainly quantitative questionnaire data were obtained from a survey (n = 254) of…
New appraisal values of travel time saving and reliability in Great Britain

Humouring a lost cause
Humorous accounts of war date back to the Middle Ages at least, but have become particularly frequent in the twentieth century. The Spanish Civil War created a focus for these, given the appreciable number of accomplished writers who participated in it, particularly on the Republican side, and given the incongruous experiences they underwent. In Homage to Catalonia, Orwell, enlisted in the POUM militia, gives memorably comical accounts of his exp…

La Renaissance et la nuit
By Daniel Ménager. Geneva, Droz, 2005. 270 pp. Pb SFr 80.00. In this stimulating volume, Ménager applies his vast erudition to a topic clearly under-researched heretofore. When considering his period and theme, night's negative connotations (fear and danger) must be set against its positive associations: starlight and moonlight redeem it in a wide range of contexts (including scientific astronomy) and it is also a time for rest and lovemaking. Mo…
Fecal Matters in Early Modern Literature and Art. Studies in Scatology
Edited by Jeff Persels and Russell Ganim. Aldershot, Ashgate. 2004. xxi+192 pp. Hb £45.00. Observing that academia has traditionally shunned dirty literature, our editors present twelve scatological studies moving from antiquity (Hope resurrects Plutarch) to the English Restoration (Smith considers Rochester), and examining the power of what they term (too emphatically?) ‘the last taboo’ (following the Introduction). Bowen studies fart jokes with…
