Still Writing and Fighting to Reduce the Footprint and Harm of the Canadian Carceral State
The Jail Accountability & Information Line
Poor conditions of confinement and human rights violations have been commonplace at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre (OCDC) since it opened in the early 1970s. Recently, the deplorable treatment of provincial prisoners at OCDC has been documented in reports by the Ontario Ombudsperson, the Ontario Human Rights Commission, the Independent Review of Ontario Corrections, the Community Advisory Board (established in 2014), the OCDC Task Force (es…

British Castle Studies in the Late 20th and 21st Centuries
Few areas of medieval research have been so polarised in the late 20th century as castle studies. With two schools of thought pulling in opposite directions, one towards the castle as fortress, one towards the castle as residence, efforts have been channelled into justifying these camps rather than exploring common ground. Yet many of the approaches on offer are compatible both with each other and with a more inclusive examination of medieval soc…
Teachers of adult education in British universities 1948–1998
The role and position of liberal non- or semi-vocational adult education (LAE) within English university provision is endlessly debated, centred upon policy and funding issues in Higher Education (HE). This debate seldom descends to delivery level to relate strategy to the experiences of a largely part-time, casually employed tutor body. This is despite the historic reliance of LAE upon part-timers and ‘enlightened amateurs’. Examination of the t…

L'article s'interesse a la popularite grandissante des cours sur l'histoire locale et son institutionnalisation. A travers le changement radical intervenu au cours des decennies ayant precede et suivi la seconde guerre mondiale dans le cadre de l'education des adultes, changement qui consista a passer de l'apprentissage de l'histoire du monde dans le domaine social ou economique, ou encore des relations internationales et de la question de la rec…
Digging for history
Social change in Britain after World War II is often cited as a factor in the decline of traditional adult education. Using archaeology as a case study, this article argues that, for this subject, the period was particularly conducive to expansion, and that decline was delayed until the 1970s. The period 1943–75 saw steady growth in numbers of university- and field-based archaeologists, heightened awareness of archaeological issues and growth in …
