She being “Capable of Manadgement”
Women's involvement in the transport business in the early eighteenth-century is considered through a case study of the barge trade of Surrey's Wey Navigation. Around one in 10 of the bargemasters, those running the trade, were women. Their backgrounds varied. Aged between their 20 s and 50 s, the bargemistresses appear in the records after the death of their husband, father or brother. Often trading for several years, the nature of their trade a…
Co‐Producing Personalised Discharge Planning
BACKGROUND: Informal caregivers are often expected to support patients transitioning from hospital to home and yet are routinely overlooked in discharge planning. This gap can leave caregivers unprepared and unsupported, contributing to avoidable complications and distress. In response, we co-designed a personalised discharge planning toolkit to support meaningful conversations between hospital staff and informal caregivers. METHODS: Using a part…
Knitting and Everyday Meaning-Making
Knitting has long established meanings in everyday life. As popular and academic interest in yarncraft has surged, these meanings are being re-made. Recent times have also seen a proliferation of ways to make and share meanings, and recognition of the interaction of modes and materials, and affective and aesthetic engagements involved. This article draws on interdisciplinary approaches to meaning-making to present three strands, each offering a d…
Normalisation and equity of referral to the NHS Low Calorie Diet programme pilot; a qualitative evaluation of the experiences of health care staff
Referral generation had not yet been consistently normalised into routine care, yet our findings suggest that the LCD programme runs the risk of normalising an inequitable referral process. Inequalities remain a significant challenge, and the adoption of an equitable referral process, normalised at a service delivery level, has the capacity to contribute to the improvement of health inequalities
Making time
This article presents data from interviews with amateur knitters to explore the temporal-material entanglements which constitute meaning-making in everyday life, and the potential of thinking with knitting to better understand these entanglements. It follows three strands which reflect different aspects of the temporal-material in how knitting comes to matter for amateur makers. Firstly, knitters discuss the threads to and from the past which rec…
The value of knowing
This article is concerned with how developing writers use grammar knowledge to make choices in writing and the extent to which this knowledge is conscious and the choices deliberate. Drawing on case study data with 24 school-aged writers involved in a three-year longitudinal study, the article reports the pattern of conscious and unconscious choices being made. It will reveal how curriculum emphasis has tended to prioritise grammatical use over r…
Samuel Beckett’s Brush with Ballet
Samuel Beckett’s encounter with the aesthetics of ballet has not been fully acknowledged for its impact on his writing. Yet throughout his life Beckett investigated problems of kinaesthetics, and the mechanics of human movement was inspired by his reading of the seventeenth-century Cartesian philosopher Arnold Geulincx (1624–1669), reflected initially in Beckett’s novel Murphy (1938). At the same time, Beckett’s interest in the specificities of p…
“In Truth, They Are My Masters”
Thomas Walton (known as Purser) and Clinton Atkinson (known as Clinton) were hanged for piracy in 1583. This article examines a range of texts relating to Purser and Clinton, including court depositions, plays and ballads, to consider the ways in which their lives and deaths were depicted and discover what this might tell us about contemporary attitudes towards piracy. Purser and Clinton were based in Dorset where the boundaries delineating pirac…
Cracking up
This analysis of the plight of visual artists during Covid-19 illuminates the working conditions of a chronically under-examined sub-section of cultural labour. It demonstrates the severity of pandemic impacts on visual artists’ social and economic circumstances, including inappropriate criteria for accessing government and Arts Council England emergency measures. A central concern is a consideration of how arts policies might better acknowledge …
Exploring children’s writing development in response to transition from pre-school to primary context in Turkish classrooms
Participation, Perplexity and Plurality
In this article, we explore how adults in a community shared reading group discuss the notoriously difficult poem ‘The Emperor of Ice-Cream’ by the American poet Wallace Stevens. Drawing on Hannah Arendt’s notion of action, we explore how participants negotiate the poem, actively constructing meanings from their shared personal experiences rather than simply reading off meanings contained in and bounded by the poem, a text which continues to be d…
Supporting mental health service users to stop smoking
Some progress has been made in terms of changing an entrenched, smoking culture into one that is smokefree on Trust sites across the region. Perseverance and resourcing over the long-term is required to establish a non-smoking culture in on-site provision of mental health services
Acceptability of a cessation intervention for pregnant smokers
The babyClear© package was acceptable to pregnant smokers interviewed during and shortly after pregnancy and, in some cases, to promote quitting. However, some contexts were more optimal than others, leading to variation in acceptability overall
Shakespeare, Modernism, and Dance
This chapter explores the intersection of modernist aesthetics and danced adaptations of Shakespeare in the twentieth century. It situates the discussion in a wide spectrum of danced interpretations, but focuses primarily on the attenuated narratives and economic form of three one-act danced versions of the tragedies: Robert Helpmann’s Hamlet (1942), José Limón’s The Moor’s Pavane (1949, based on Othello ), and Limón and Pauline Koner’s Barren Sc…
‘Words of Wisdom’
The film, I, Daniel Blake, has received critical acclaim for its portrayal of the experiences of those attempting to navigate the bureaucracy of the British welfare state system. In this article, I use the depiction of literacy in the film as a lens through which I examine both the role of literacy in compounding the challenge for those already made vulnerable by their circumstances, as well as the creative, collaborative and resourceful ways in …
Evaluation of a complex healthcare intervention to increase smoking cessation in pregnant women
The implementation of a system-wide complex healthcare intervention was associated with significant increase in rates of quitting by delivery
It Just Had to Settle’
The purpose of this longitudinal study was to investigate students’ developmental readiness to navigate dissonance and experience transformation as they engaged in an international service-learning program. Using case-study methodology, researchers collected data from a diverse group of 7 graduate students and 5 undergraduate students who participated in a predeparture course and 3-week program in Ecuador. Data were collected at 4 points in time:…
Implementing and investigating distributed leadership in a national university network - SaMnet
The literature suggests that collaborative approaches to leadership, such as distributed leadership, are essential for supporting educational innovators in leading change in teaching in universities. This paper briefly describes the array of activities, processes and resources to support distributed leadership in the implementation of a network, the Science and Mathematics Network of Australian University Educators – SaMnet. The research study in…

Recommendations for Correctional Leaders to Reduce Boundary Violations
The correctional profession continues to report boundary-violating behavior by correctional employees with inmates, such as aiding an inmate in an escape and engaging in sexual contact with an inmate. These criminal behaviors obviously threaten the safety within the institutions and the community; however, these types of actions are normally preceded by minor boundary crossings within the institution. Therefore, all types of boundary violations a…
Conceptualizing metalinguistic understanding in writing / Conceptualización de la competencia metalingüística en la escritura
This paper will present a theoretical analysis of research on metalinguistic understanding, illustrating how current research does not yet adequately address metalinguistic development in writing. Existing research on metalinguistic understanding has focused more on language acquisition, oral development and bilingual learners. Research on metalinguistic understanding in writing has tended to look more closely at young learners developing writing…
‘It’s not what it looks like. I’m Santa’
The lived experiences of young people are becoming increasingly marginalised within the narrowly defined curricula of neoliberal contexts. Many young people are also cast within the media according to deficit discourses of youth, which contributes to the fragmentation of communities and the limitation of interaction between generations. This article describes a film project in which young people living in an ex-mining community in the Midlands of…

Re-presenting the 'forgotten estate
In this article, we discuss the work undertaken in the first phase of a participatory theatre project which took place on a council housing estate in the Midlands of England, in which residents were invited to share their memories for a production which would present the history of the estate. This community is often characterised as deficient, ageing, welfare-oriented, low in educational attainment and aspiration. Interviews and field notes sugg…

Effects of fear and specificity of recommendation upon attitudes and behavior
Troublesome boys’ and ‘compliant girls’
Working within a methodological framework that identified four focus groups, high‐achieving boys and girls and underachieving boys and girls, this article presents teachers' perceptions of how gender identity is seen to influence achievement levels. Beliefs about gender identity informed the teachers' perceptions in relation to each of the four focus groups, whereby the underachieving boy and the high‐achieving girl were seen to conform to gender…
Re-thinking grammar
This paper reports on a national study, involving a mixed-method research design comprising a randomised controlled trial (RCT), text analysis, student and teacher interviews and lesson observations. It set out to investigate whether contextualised teaching of grammar, linked to the teaching of writing, would improve student outcomes in writing and in metalinguistic understanding. The RCT involved 744 students in 31 schools in the south-west and …
Seeing things differently
The identity of the underachiever has become synonymous with the stereotypical identity of boys. Teachers know what underachievement looks like: it looks like a boy who is bright, but bored. Evidence from a research study reported here demonstrates that teachers are more likely to select boys as underachievers than girls and that teachers construct underachievement differentially by gender. The consequence is that underachievement in girls is oft…

Exploring Resident (Non-)participation in the UK New Deal for Communities Regeneration Programme
Current policy responses to low levels of resident participation in urban regeneration schemes may be based on flawed assumptions for the reasons underpinning non-participation amongst certain sections of disadvantaged communities. Ethnographic fieldwork in a New Deal for Communities area demonstrates that some residents actively avoid participation as part of `survival strategies' that have been developed to cope with long-term multiple disadvan…

The invisibility of the underachieving girl
The recent high profile of the underachievement debate in the media, through research initiatives, and in resulting remediation programmes within the classroom, has focused almost exclusively upon boys, such that the identity and needs of the underachieving girl have been rendered invisible. Underachievement has become so closely associated with the gender identity of boys that the idea of girls underachieving has become virtually inconceivable. …

At the still point”
T.S. Eliot's “Burnt Norton” initially appeared in 1936, but eventually this poem became the first of the Four Quartets (1943), a cycle expressing the poet's most mature meditations on time and the timeless. The Quartets confirmed Eliot's already well-established position as a modernist poet, but they also suggested a new sense of spiritual resolution, in part reflecting his journey from religious doubt to newfound faith through his conversion to …
Becoming a Pest
A small western Colorado town, Nucla, held its first annual Top World Championship Prairie Shoot during July weekend in 1990. Attracting hunters from as far away as Hawaii, the shoot was designed to kill as many inhabitants of large prairie dog colony as possible in the time allotted. Shooters paid fee to enter the contest, which was sponsored by both local gun club and the town council, and in 1990 managed to kill 2,956 prairie dogs in two days.…

How Talk Becomes Text
The principle that emergent writing is supported by talk, and that an appropriate pedagogy for writing should include planned opportunities for talk is well-researched and well-understood. However, the process by which talk becomes text is less clear. The term ‘oral rehearsal’ is now commonplace in English classrooms and curriculum policy documents, yet as a concept it is not well-theorised. Indeed, there is relatively little reference to the con…

Characteristics of staffed community housing services for people with learning disabilities
Within the staffed housing model relatively little is known about the characteristics of different types of provider agency. Data on size, homeliness and physical integration of settings, organisational culture, working methods, staffing levels and resident characteristics, were collected on a stratified random sample of provision in South-West England and Wales. Provider agencies did not differ significantly on three of the four variables relati…
An imagery mnemonic for the learning of people's names
Since the failure to remember the name of a person to whom one has been introduced can be embarrassing, methods of improving the recall of names to faces are desirable. As a means of learning names Lorayne (1958) suggests a mnemonic technique the effectiveness of which was tested in the present experiment. Lorayne's method involves first converting the name to be retained into an easily imaged form. For example, Fishter can be made into fish stir…

Partners' Health and Retirement Adaptation of Women and Their Husbands
This study is unique in that it concerns the adaptation to retirement of women and their husbands, where both partners are retired. Among the 61 mutually retired spousal pairs studied a person's own health and the family's finances were less important to adaptation than the adjustment to retirement of his or her respective spouse. For retired wives their own higher education also aided adjustment. For retired husbands their retired wives' lower e…

International Students, Learning Environments and Perceptions
While there are a number of reports on problems faced by international students in Australia, there is little information on the perceptions of such students relative to those of the academic staff teaching them. Using the Delphi technique, whereby problems identified are narrowed by consensus, a study conducted at one Australian university highlighted some expected and some unexpected outcomes. Difficulty understanding colloquial language, cost …

A randomised clinical trial of nicotine patches for treatment of spit tobacco addiction among adolescents
The behavioural intervention proved to be about twice as successful as previous interventions, but the nicotine patch offered no improvement in cessation rates. The behavioural intervention is based on publicly available materials and can be easily adapted for widespread use, particularly in high schools

Land of ‘My 9’
Based on ongoing research into the literacy practices of bilingual girls from different UK communities, this article focuses on the experiences of 11‐ to 13‐year‐old Welsh–English bilingual girls in Wales. Examples of the girls' talk about their bilingual lives are explored within the social, political, educational and literary context of the Welsh language today. The position of these young Welsh speakers within both the wider dominant, English …
From Text to Dance
This essay explores the source material for Andrée Howard's 1947 narrative work for Ballet Rambert, The Sailor's Return. Howard based her libretto for the ballet on David Garnett's 1925 novel of the same name, closely following his story of a West African princess who marries an English sailor and encounters racial prejudice in England. I examine the textual and choreographic contexts for the ballet, relating its visual rhetoric and movement voca…

Diaghilev and British Writing
This article explores the diversity of British literary responses to Diaghilev's project, emphasising the way in which the subject matter and methodologies of Diaghilev's modernism were sometimes unexpectedly echoed in expressions of contemporary British writing. These discussions emerge both in writing about Diaghilev's work, and, more discretely, when references to the Russian Ballet find their way into the creative writing of the period, servi…
Creative Partners
Recently in English schools the value of ‘pupil voice’ activities has been strongly promoted by the school improvement movement and by the Office for Standards in Education, the national inspection agency. A parallel and related agenda in English education policy has seen the official endorsement of the importance of developing creativity in school. This article is concerned with the potential of creative and arts activities to extend the range a…

A survivor's account of sexual exploitation by a Jungian analyst
This essay explains the ramifications of sexual exploitation in the context of Jungian analysis. It argues that misuse of work specifically framed as Jungian can cause severe, deep, and long-lasting harm. It suggests that Jungian professionals strengthen and increase the scope of their actions to deter rogue colleagues from exploiting their analysands
Assessing the Impact of Ordained Local Ministry on the Performance of Church of England Dioceses, 1991-2003
Throughout the 1990s the cases for and against ordained local ministry continued to be debated in the Church of England. By 2001, 20 dioceses had at least one ordained local minister and 23 had resisted this development. Drawing on data routinely published by the Church of England, the present study asks three questions of these two distinct segments of the Church. The first question compares the background characteristics of the two sets of dioc…
