Fielden, Kevin Christopher. "The Church of England in the First World War." Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2005. https://dc.etsu.edu/etd/1080.
Full textAbstract:
The Church of England was at a crossroads in 1914 as the First World War began. The war was seen as an opportunity to revitalize it and return it to its role of prominence in society. In comparison to other areas of study, the role of the Church of England during this time period is inadequately examined.
Primary sources including letters, diaries, contemporary newspaper accounts and pastors' sermons were used. Also secondary sources provided background and analysis about the people, events and movements of the time. A handful of papers and journal articles that specifically dealt with a particular aspect of the research provided some analysis.
This thesis examines the Anglican Church as the war began and during the war both domestically and at the front in order to judge the response it made to the war.

Henley, Carmen Ortiz. "The Women of Little Gidding: The First Anglican Nuns." Diss., The University of Arizona, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/10150/223380.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines the lives and material production of the early modern women known as the Nuns of Little Gidding, Mary Collett Ferrar (1603-1680) and Anna Collett (1605-1639). The religious community at Little Gidding, Huntingsonshire (now Cambridgeshire), founded in 1626 by Mary Woodnoth Ferrar and her son Nicholas, housed forty-some members of the extended Ferrar, Collet, and Mapletoft family and their retainers. They devoted their lives to prayer, Bible study and memorization, contemplation, acts of charity, and the production of several unique Bible concordances or harmonies (as well as some Bible histories) of which fifteen are extant. Women were central to the spiritual life of the community, in particular, Mary and Anna who took vows of chastity. They were also the primary creators of the concordances, a task that entailed cutting up printed Bibles, reorganizing the text according to a complex scheme devised by Nicholas Ferrar. The resulting harmonized Gospel suppressed the discrepancies and differences in the four canonical accounts and produced a single, seamless narrative that preserved every detail of the originals. Close study of the relationship between image and text in the Gospel harmonies shows that the women sometimes chose particular images not to illustrate but rather to undermine the authority of the biblical narrative. Images might restore women to an account that minimizes, trivializes, or elides their importance in the life of Jesus. Thus, while their explicit task was to harmonize the Gospel accounts, the women were surreptitiously "deconstructing" them to reveal their discord.

Coss, Denise. "First World War memorials, commemoration and community in North East England, 1918-1939." Thesis, Durham University, 2012. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/6917/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines how local variations in economic, political, social, cultural and religious circumstances influenced First World War remembrance in the North East between the wars. It is divided into two parts. The first is concerned with the creation of every kind of memorial, from large county schemes to the smaller projects of villages and institutions. It investigates the people involved, the decisions they took, what they produced and the wider community’s response to their efforts. The second part considers commemoration - that is, the rituals and ceremonies which grew up around memorials, their public messages and private meanings, and how they began and evolved over time. It also considers the responses and attitudes of the veterans and the bereaved to public commemoration. The thesis finds that although there was a great deal of similarity in the way in which communities remembered, there were also differences. The differences can be located in the ways in which communities drew on their culture and traditions to ‘personalise’ remembrance and made it more meaningful, thus enabling them to return their loved ones ‘home’. However, from the little evidence available it is apparent that the bereaved had mixed feelings about remembrance, and it is uncertain how successful it was at assuaging grief. For the veterans, the experience of war and the difficulties they encountered on their return meant that they felt differently about remembrance and their priority was to reintegrate back into normal life.

Burls, Robin J. "Society, economy and lordship in Devon in the age of the first two Courtenay earls, c. 1297-1377." Thesis, University of Oxford, 2002. http://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:30404220-43bf-41b7-b70a-f18624594c08.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a contribution to the social history of medieval Devon and the south- west in the lifetimes of the first two Courtenay earls, Hugh II (1275-1340) and Hugh III (1303-77). The fourteenth century was an era of particular importance to the region's social evolution, in which many sectors of the non-agrarian economy - cloth production, mining fishing, ship-building, intermational commerce - attained impressive levels of growth, interrupted perhaps only moderately by the demographic crises of the middle decades. Further encouragement to economic prosperity came from the war with France, which stimulated demographic and urban communities on the south coast and provided fresh opportunities for employment and personal advancement. Against this backdrop of economic change, the pattern of aristocratic power in the south-western peninsula was undergoing a fundamental transformation and shift in focus. Two great Anglo-Norman honors were united in 1297 under the Courtenays, giving a single aristocratic dynasty unprecedented influence and leverage over local society. Permanently resident in the county and led by vigorous personalities, the family rapidly became ubiquitous in all sectors of public life and the region experienced a quality and intensity of lordship rarely witnessed in the previous two centuries. The current work supplies a deficiency in the study of the medieval south-west, but also makes a case for extending the remit of a traditional county-based study to encompass a wider cultural and economic hinterland. Particular attention is paid to the influence of the physical landscape and geography on economic and seignorial development in medieval society. The thesis is divided into two parts: the first dealing with the economic and social infrastructure, and 'setting the scene' with a long-term historical survey; the second focusing specifically on the fourteenth century and placing a discussion of local power structures in a wider 'national' context.

Towson, Kris. "Henry Percy, first earl of Northumberland : ambition, conflict and cooperation in late mediaeval England." Thesis, University of St Andrews, 2005. http://hdl.handle.net/10023/2664.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the political career of Henry Percy, 1st earl of Northumberland. Chapter one examines the background of the Percy family, and Henry Percy's career in the years leading to his elevation to the earldom of Northumberland. Chapter two considers his relationships with John of Gaunt and the Neville family both at times of crisis and during times of relative stability. It also examines his relationship with the wider political community in the north of England and his role on the Scottish border during the late fourteenth century. Chapter three focuses on the turbulent years of 1399-1403. It offers new interpretations of Percy's participation in the revolution of 1399 and in the events leading to the 1403 rebellion led by his son Henry 'Hotspur'. Chapter four traces the final years of Percy's life from 1404-8. It re-interprets the events leading to his flight to Scotland in 1405, his years there, in Wales and on the continent and his final, fatal return to England in 1408.

Linnemann, Emily Caroline Louise. "The cultural value of Shakespeare in twenty-first-century publicly-funded theatre in England." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2011. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/1355/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis argues that in the plural cultural context of the twenty-first century the value of Shakespeare resides in his identity as a free and flexible resource. This adaptable Shakespeare is valuable to theatres because they are dialectical spaces. Free-resource Shakespeare is able to contain a range of different cultural values and theatres provide a space for producers and consumers of culture to negotiate between them. It has been established that tensions of cultural value, for example innovation/tradition or commercial/non-commercial govern the production, dissemination and critique of culture. Building on this idea, this work shows that when tensions are dealt with as negotiations rather than confrontations, new cultural value is generated. It identifies Shakespeare as a site for the debate of value tensions and contends that he can be simultaneously commercial and non-commercial, traditional and innovative. Cultural value is thus created because Shakespeare is reinvigorated and redefined through a process which negotiates between tensions. In publicly-funded theatre this process manifests itself in an ambiguous relationship to the market, myriad adaptations and a move towards event-theatre. The cultural value of Shakespeare in publicly-funded theatre mirrors the continual redefinition of the Shakespearean object and, rather than being a concrete ‘thing’, is better defined as a constant process.

Goulden, John. "Michael Costa, England's first conductor : the revolution in musical performance in England 1830-80." Thesis, Durham University, 2012. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/5924/.
Full textAbstract:
Recent literature has thrown new light on the patronage, financing and social context of the music industry in nineteenth-century London. One area that has received less attention is the management and direction of musical performance – a branch of the profession which arguably changed more than any other. The thesis seeks to identify the radical changes in this area through the life and work of Michael Costa. His fifty-three year career in charge of the main London musical institutions saw the transition from divided control by the violin-leader, musical director and maestro al cembalo to unified control by a professional conductor-manager, of which he was the London prototype. Costa’s uniquely powerful position in the operatic, symphonic and choral world enabled him to embed reforms that laid the basis for much of modern musical practice: not only in baton-conducting but also in the conductor’s contractual powers, orchestral discipline, the lay-out of performers, rehearsal strategy, acoustics, and the system for managing the enlarged orchestras and choruses which emerged in the period. This infrastructure and the raised standards of performance that these reforms fostered were arguably the greatest achievement of English music in the otherwise rather barren mid-Victorian period. The thesis considers Costa’s crucial role in the battles between the two rival opera houses, between the Philharmonic and the New Philharmonic, and between the venerable Ancient Concerts and the mass festival events of the Sacred Harmonic Society. It tries also to place him in the context of the profound aesthetic changes of the period – in repertoire, performance and attitude to musical ‘works’. Finally it seeks to explain the remarkable rise and eclipse of Costa’s reputation and to reassess in its contemporary context Costa’s contribution to the emergence of the music industry in the form which we know today.

Phillips-Mundy, Heather Marie. "An exploration of the mothering experiences among first generation Somali muslim immigrant mothers in Bristol, England." Thesis, University of Bristol, 2011. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.559075.
Full textAbstract:
This research examines motherhood as a means of empowerment for East African Muslim immigrant women by exploring the ways in which Somali mothers collectively and individually respond to conflicting cultural constraints in their new host society of residence, Britain. In order to achieve this objective, this ethnographic study utilises qualitative mixed-methods of analysis of individual and group interviews, participatory observations and a homestay. This approach furthers the j understanding of the daily lived experiences of Somali diasporic mothers, the cultural barriers they face when attempting to support their families and the strategies they adopt in overcoming these constraints. This research looks at the mothering ideologies, meanings and practices of Somali immigrant woman and the ways in which their approaches to mothering are similar to, or different from, customs in Somalia. Similarities and differences between homeland and diasporic practices of motherhood reveal how Somali Muslim culture of motherhood is preserved and negotiated and which, if any, aspects of this maternal practice are reframed for local use in a British context. The study highlights the extent to which continuity of cultural practices, as well as their modifications, provides routes to empowerment for first generation Somali immigrant mothers in helping them adapt to their new environments and bicultural roles as Somali mothers in Britain. Somalis in the U.K. lack a suitable public forum for the expression of their identities and interests (Griffith, 2000;288), which is an added complication for the refugee, single Somali mother. The focus on lived experiences of Somali immigrant mothers gives this particular minority group of women a voice. Therefore, one objective of this research is to critically examine the lives of these immigrant mothers, the challenges they face and the role their native culture plays in their adaptation to the host society in the hope that this understanding of Somali motherhood will enhance the considerations given to these women at the policy formation stage in Britain. Furthermore, it will provide a greater understanding into the particular impact the "mother" role has on the successful integration of immigrant families. An additional purpose of this study is to examine conceptualisations of empowerment and how they can be interpreted contextually from the perspective of motherhood (Martinsson, 2007). This thesis contributes to discussions of empowerment, motherhood and mothering, Muslim culture and minority ethnic immigrant women/mothers. It will examine how the sense of Otherness disrupts their normative ideas of motherhood and how it is revised into something culturally productive.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a study of Durham University, from its inception in 1831 to the opening of the College of Physical Science in Newcastle in 1871. It considers the foundation and early years of the University in the light of local and national developments, including movements for reform in the church and higher education. The approach is holistic, with the thesis based on extensive use of archival sources, parliamentary reports, local and national newspapers, and other primary printed sources as well as a newly-created and entirely unique database of Durham students. The argument advanced in this thesis is that the desire of the Durham authorities was to establish a modern university that would be useful to northern interests, and that their clear failure to achieve this reflected the general issues of the developing higher education sector at least as much as it did internal mismanagement. This places Durham in a different position relative to the traditional understanding of how universities and colleges developed in England and therefore broadens and deepens the quality of that narrative. In the light of the University's swift decline, and poor reputation, from the mid-1850s what were the ambitions of the founders and how did this deterioration occur? Were the critics' accusations against the University - principally that it was a theologically-dominated, inadequate imitation of Oxford, bound to the Chapter of Durham and ruled autocratically by its Warden - based on fact or prejudice? And if the critics were wrong, what were the factors that lead to the University's failings?

England, Elizabeth Jayne. "An exploration of the commissioning, development and implementation of early intervention services for first episode psychosis in England." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2012. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/3922/.
Full textAbstract:
The aim of this longitudinal, qualitative PhD was to explore the commissioning and implementation of early intervention services for first episode psychosis across a number of sites in England. Methods: After a literature review of policy, implementation, and empirical RCT and cohort studies, 147 semi-structured interviews and six focus groups involving 35 people from different managerial and operational levels of the health service were undertaken between February 2004 and March 2009. May’s Normalization Process Theory was used as the underpinning conceptual framework and data were analysed using the Framework Analytical Approach. Results: the main findings were the importance of partnership working, influenced positively by the role of a facilitator; challenges which arose when commissioning mental health services, alleviated by the involvement of senior managers acting in a mentor role and the ‘work’ undertaken, from the perspective of Normalization Process Theory. A new service model, called the ‘trailblazer’ early intervention service was identified, which is not accounted for within Normalization Process Theory. Conclusion: further work is needed to define the characteristics and qualities of the mentoring role of senior managers and the facilitator and explore how best to adapt and extend Normalization Process Theory to incorporate the new ‘trailblazer’ service model.

Full textAbstract:
The English reformation, unlike that in Germany and Switzerland, evolved over a fairly long span of time. At first Luther's works were sold unchecked by English booksellers, being first prohibited in 1520. Over the next few years the advance of reforming ideas was considered so serious as to merit the further attention of the English Crown. By 1524 it was found necessary to enforce a law prohibiting the importation of theological texts into England, and efforts were made to suppress the further spread of the Protestant heresy throughout the realm. However, despite the Act of Parliament and a wave of persecutions the church was unable to stop the influx of prohibited books, which came off the printing presses of Germany and the Low Countries. With the aid of the revised version of the S.T.C. and additional catalogues of early printed writings, it has been possible to compile a list of foreign publications, all of which were intended for the English reader. These texts printed in the vernacular were written and commissioned by English writers forced into exile for their own safety, but also determined to establish Protestant Ideas In their own country. It is difficult to determine the exact numbers of Protestant books entering the country, but some Indication of their appeal can be found from the lists of prohibited books issued by the Ecclesiastical authorities. A detailed examination of these publications yields a clear picture of the theological teaching of Englands earliest Protestants. By carefully comparing these ideas with those of earlier heretics and contemporary reformers, it has been possible to assess the extent to which outside ideas has influenced the minds of these men. Further analysis has revealed the original and subtle genius of men who combined the ideas of the Continental reformers with those native to the English tradition, in order to produce a reformed theology which appealed to the unique situation in their own country.

Full textAbstract:
This study presented a comparative analysis of two sets of criminal laws in colonial Jamestown under the Virginia Company of London with seventeenth century English law. The historical evidence indicated England's criminal code closely resembled Jamestown's military regime, also known as "Dale's Laws," from 1610 to 1619. But it was the strict disciplinary nature of Dale's Laws which provided security and stability in the infant colony thus creating an opportunity to institute a more benevolent criminal code and a representative form of government in 1619. Furthermore, this study determined Puritanism and the "Country" Party, both gaining power in England, provided the impetus for Virginia's reform movement.Department of History

Full textAbstract:
This thesis poses the research question of whether curacy in the Church of England, in its current majority model of one curate in one benefice under the supervision of one training incumbent, continues to offer the most productive space for the post-ordination ongoing formation of the newly ordained. It uses an interdisciplinary methodology, in which theology and ecclesiology are brought into dialogue with the sociological thought of Casanova and Bourdieu, with Stanislavski’s theory of method acting, and with performance practice in art music and popular music. It additionally asks questions of how the increasingly complex external and internal contexts for ministry might be productively conceptualized, and of what kinds of ordained ministers might be needed by the twenty-first century Church of England. Consideration of these questions contributes to the conclusion that whilst aspects of good practice can usefully be retained from the current model of curacy, contextual demands and the changing nature of the role of the ordained, coupled with a significant shift in the demographic profile of those coming forward for ordination, call for a reframing of its structures.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study has been to research what is included in the First World War teaching in English compulsory school. The teaching of this historical event is performed in a context where the war is yearly commemorated and given attention in society at large in various ways. Through conducting interviews with six history teacher working at a school in northeastern England the study was set out to investigate how teaching of the war is performed in general as well as with specific focus directed towards potential challenges in connection to the remembrance events, the collectively remembered public history and issues such as gender and colonial representation. The study shows that there is a clear focus on the past in the teaching of the war with trench warfare and life during the war being issues that are discussed. Connections are further made to the present where the importance of remembrance is stressed. The main challenge experienced by the teachers regarding the First World War is the lack of living witnesses due to the time distance. In consequence, the war is seen as less relevant to learn about among the pupils. However, remembrance symbols can in this instance be a tool in order to entice interest for the study of the war and the common perception among the teachers is that the pupils enjoy the study of the First World War.

Gayraud, Elise Gaelle Marie. "Towards an ethnography of a culturally eclectic music scene : preserving and transforming folk music in twenty-first century England." Thesis, Durham University, 2016. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/11598/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents an analysis of the recent transformations in the folk music scene in England. Through interviews of professional and amateur folk artists, it elicits musicians’ points of view about the music they perform and their own compositions. Adopting an ethnomusicological approach, it compares and contrasts theories of cultural globalisation with the musicians' perceptions of their position within the music scene and in relation to musical traditions in the twenty-first century. Exploring changes in music-making, collecting, and modes and contexts of transmission, this study considers how musical repertoire is exchanged, adapted and preserved within and beyond local communities through means such as archiving, pub sessions, workshops, festivals and formal tuition. From the perspectives of both artists and audiences, contemporary modes and contexts of transmission and the development of new technologies for recording, sharing and teaching music have been encouraging diverse transformations of perception, repertoire, composition and interpretation, as well as the dynamics of interaction between folk musicians. This thesis sheds light on how folk musicians’ horizons have expanded far beyond the local sphere; processes of globalisation have engendered global perspectives, new conceptualisations of what “traditional” and “folk” music are, complex identities reflected in musical hybridisation, new opportunities to access traditional and folk music, new forms of communication technology, demographical changes and cross-borders musical initiatives. The thesis demonstrates that, although the folk music scene in England might often be perceived as somewhat conservative in outlook and overshadowed by a profusion of widely disseminated contemporary popular musical products, many folk musicians have been open to transformation, adapting to new contexts and modes of transmission, embracing new communication technologies, and drawing influences from beyond the immediate local surrounding. At the same time as preserving musical heritage they have been enriching it in diverse ways to ensure its continued relevance.

Norris, Mark Marston. "The first and second Earls of Rutland and their part in the central and local politics of mid-Tudor England." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 1996. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/27131.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates the role of Thomas and Henry Manners, first and second earls of Rutland, in the central and local politics of mid-Tudor England. In so doing, five factors are scrutinised throughout: landed property, political and military office-holding, Court politics, religion, and the Manners' network of friends, servants, and relatives. The thesis is divided into seven chapters. Each chapter (except the conclusion) explores how most or all of these factors influenced the political life of the family during a segment of time. Chapter 1 deals with the beginnings of the family until the creation of Thomas Manners, Lord Roos, as earl of Rutland in 1525. The next chapter studies the political life of the new earl until 1536 and particularly emphasises his being drawn into Henry's religious policy. Chapter 3 reveals the effects of his involvement in suppressing the rebels in the Pilgrimage of Grace, his increasing employment in the service of the Crown, and his ability to profit from the Dissolution of the Monasteries until his death in 1543. By this time the family had reached its Tudor economic peak. The themes of continuity and development are explored from the wardship of the next earl until his imprisonment in the Fleet for supporting Northumberland in the Lady Jane Grey crisis. This is followed by a chapter which probes the young earl's ability to come to terms with the Marian regime. Chapter 6 reveals that he experienced even higher favour during Elizabeth's reign, culminating in his office of president of the Council of the North, during which he fell ill and died in 1563. The final chapter places the Manners' achievement in the context of the age.

Clucas, Marie. "Researching Irish health inequalities in England : a case study of first and second generation Irish men and women in Coventry." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2009. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/2223/.
Full textAbstract:
Background. Despite consistent evidence that the Irish people living in Britain face a significant health disadvantage, when compared to white British people on a range of health indicators, the reasons and underlying generative mechanisms, need further uncovering. Design and Objectives. This research uses a mixed strategy design compatible with a critical realist perspective. The extensive/quantitative research component aims to evaluate the demi-regularity that Irish people in England have poorer health than the British general population. It engages in a secondary analysis of data from the Census 2001 Individual Licensed SARs, using self-reported Irish ethnicity and self-reported general health. The intensive/qualitative research component explores the generative mechanisms shaping Irish health experiences and inequalities in England, and Coventry in particular, including the contribution of, and interaction between, generative mechanisms of structural and identity/cultural aspects of ethnicity. It carries out an in-depth primary analysis of thirty-two semi-structured interview accounts from two generations of Irish men and women in Coventry, using a framework analytical approach. This is elaborated within a model of ethnicity as structure and identity developed in accordance with a critical realist and sociohistorical perspective. The research is realized through a collaborative community based participatory approach. Results and Conclusions. The extensive findings provide further evidence for an Irish health disadvantage in England, with some differences by country of birth, and provide clues to generative mechanisms for the demi-regularity found. The intensive findings concur with the extensive analysis and show that generative mechanisms from structural and identity dimensions of ethnicity 1) contribute to the health inequalities and/or experiences of first and second generation Irish people in England, 2) interact in complex ways, 3) are impacted by the socio-political context, i.e., British colonialism and a world capitalist economy, and 4) are shaped by interweaving forces of structure and agency.

Levin, Lynne Robyn. "The contribution of the Modern Orthodox Jewish faith school in twenty-first century England to conceptions of religious toleration and citizenship." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2014. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/10021603/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis challenges the widely held liberal view that faith schools are necessarily a conflictual influence in contemporary society. In examining the conceptual resources that the Modern Orthodox Jewish (MOJ) faith school might bring to the formation of its pupils as tolerant citizens, the thesis draws on selected contexts and concepts of toleration from British thought in the seventeenth and early eighteenth century most notably that of John Locke, from the era of Enlightenment and Emancipation in seventeenth to nineteenth century Europe, and from contemporary ideas concerning aspects of toleration and citizenship central to the present day. The argument does not take for granted homogeneous and conventional conceptions of toleration, or indeed of intolerance. In paving a critical path, it offers fresh perspectives on religious autonomy and diversity from a philosophical, historical, theological, political and educational point of view. These ideas provide a significant contribution to issues of crucial current debate concerning religious toleration and citizenship in twenty-first century liberal democratic England. Finally the thesis suggests ways in which the MOJ faith school might educate its pupils to participate in, and contribute to, wider society as a community of tolerant practice, and offers ideas concerning the philosophical framework that might underpin this practice.

Full textAbstract:
This critical commentary sets out the background to, and implementation of “The Bolton Model.” The model was developed by the researcher. The future health service will be constantly challenged, requiring a workforce built around the actual needs of the population (Willis, 2015).The ability of the NHS to deliver world class compassionate care is dependent on the quality of training and education of the healthcare workforce (DH, 2015a). ‘The Bolton Model’ of nurse education was designed, developed and implemented, so that NHS Partner Trusts could ensure the future supply of nurses to care for their service users. This innovative nursing degree programme is the first nurse education programme that is not funded by NHS commissioning bodies and has been approved by the Nursing and Midwifery Council, and the University of Bolton. “The Bolton Model” features in Willis’s 2015 report ‘Raising the bar ’as good practice, and has led, influenced, trail-blazed the national debate on non-commissioned nursing programmes in England changing the face of nurse education. In addition, it has influenced other Higher Education Institutes to also develop similar programmes. In this critical commentary the author sets out the policy and practice context for a new model of undergraduate nursing education, demonstrating that there have been decades of professional and government policies that have brought about the drive and change of nurse education which has led to ongoing challenges. A critical overview of the process used to design, develop and implement ‘The Bolton Model’ of nurse education is offered. The development of the programme utilised the principles of participatory action research, appreciative inquiry, Kotter’s (1996) 8 step change management model and theories of collaboration. A key influence in the design of ‘The Bolton Model’ was based around a number of principles from the Transition Pedagogy Handbook (Nelson et al, 2014). A personal critical reflection of the main aspects encountered throughout the journey of the innovation from initial ideas through to the current stage of the programme is presented. This includes the personal learning in relation to the project itself, reflections on the innovations of the curriculum at this point in United Kingdom nursing history, along with reflections on the responses from within the community of nurse educations providers and practitioners. The implementation of ‘The Bolton Model’ required confidence, enthusiasm, motivation, self-belief and willingness to take the risk of developing a completely new module of nurse education. In addition, it was necessary to research all aspects thoroughly, to challenge, defend and share the vision explicitly ensuring it was clearly communicated to all key stakeholders to enable the project to come to fruition and create the desired impact. Finally it is recommended that HEIs and healthcare providers need to establish effective partnerships and work in true collaboration ensuring that they are more flexible and responsive to meet local workforce needs. In addition, HEIs and healthcare providers need to have a number of innovative provisions of nurse education programmes that will enable differing entry routes into nurse education.

Full textAbstract:
Seven cemetery populations from the Worth-East of England, ranging in date from the Anglian to the Late Medieval periods, were studied. Aspects of ageing, sexing, physical appearance, continuous traits and odontology were considered. Age, sex and stature distributions were found to differ very little between the populations, but groupings based on cranial metric and non-metric traits could be made. A study of dental pathologies showed an increase in caries, abscesses and tooth loss through time. Slight differences in the populations were discussed in relation to their temporal and spatial distributions. Pathological study of most of the sites is unfortunately incomplete at present, and the reader is referred to case studies by Calvin Wells on some of the more interesting cases from two sites (Jarrow and Monkwearmouth). The work should add a physical dimension to the archaeological interpretations of the sites which could otherwise only take into account social and cultural aspects of daily life.

Full textAbstract:
This study used an exploratory case study to investigate first generation immigrant students' perspectives on their educational experience at a South East England further education (FE) college. The concept of globalization intersected by immigration, the knowledge economy, education, workers' reflexivity, and Bourdieu's theory of social capital provides an overarching theoretical framework for this study. An interpretive approach, in line with social constructivism was adopted. Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with 10 male and 5 female first generation immigrant students aged 17 -57. The interview data was analysed using an inductive thematic process. The study aimed to gain a deeper insight into why first generation immigrants were attracted to FE colleges, what their learning experiences were like, what challenges (if any) were they facing and what their future job prospects were in the labour market. Although proximity to home, affordability and the need to improve their English language proficiency were found to be the main reasons why they chose to enrol at the college, the respondents also did not have access to adequate information before they decided to enrol at the college. The study found that the respondents' learning experience was characterised by a cordial student-lecturer relationship. The main challenges to the respondents' education were limited English language proficiency and lack of both economic and social capital. The findings from this study suggest that first generation immigrant students were not confident about their future job prospects in the UK labour market. Although the results of this study may not be generalizable, the findings may be useful to other individuals and institutions in gaining a deeper understanding of the educational experience of first generation immigrants.

Thomas, Sian. "On the edge of empire : a new narrative of society in the south-west of England during the first century BC to fifth century AD." Thesis, Cardiff University, 2018. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/113449/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the relationship between people and material culture in the south-west of England from the first century BC to the fifth century AD. This area has often been ignored in the narratives of Britannia and the application of traditional theoretical models to the archaeology of the region, such as the Romanisation paradigm, has perpetuated the idea that the south-west peninsula was largely ‘un-Romanised’. The lack of developed urban centres, villa estates, temple sites and the low level of engagement with imported ceramics and other materials from the Roman world has been interpreted through the Romanisation model to suggest that was never fully integrated into the province of Britannia. In recent years the Romanisation paradigm has been heavily critiqued. New theoretical concepts such as discrepant identity theory have been developed which recognise that interactions in the provinces were far more complex than the simplistic dichotomy of Roman v Native. In line with this more emphasis is being placed on artefacts and their use in the creation of identity. Building on this shift in theoretical frameworks this thesis explores the relationship between material culture and the creation of identity. This is achieved through the analysis of the ceramics, personal adornment items and coins found in the region, both through excavation and from data recorded through the Portable Antiquities Scheme. The analysis has shed new light on the role these objects played in the renegotiation of identity that resulted from the Roman conquest. The result of this analysis has shown that far from being one politically cohesive society the region was inhabited by a number of smaller social and political groupings, who reacted differently to the conquest. This has allowed the conclusion to be drawn that modern Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly lay beyond the bounds of the Roman Empire.

Full textAbstract:
Following the 2008/9 global financial crisis and ensuing economic uncertainty, the roll out of austerity politics has seen significant welfare retrenchment and a recalibration of the state-citizen relationship which can arguably be characterised by a process of punitive Neoliberalism. Nevertheless, the impacts of austerity politics are proving to be geographically uneven: spatially, there is significant evidence that the northern and western parts of Britain, particularly towns and cities therein, are especially prone to the punitive impacts of neoliberal austerity politics, while socially, some parts of society (e.g. the young, the disabled) find themselves exposed to the worst effects of austerity. Conducted under the period of a Conservative-Liberal Democrat UK Coalition Government (2010-2015) this thesis starts by considering the degree to which punitive austerity policies are economically necessary or driven by political ideology. Alongside this it determines whether austerity politics is a (re)new(ed) approach to welfare provision and the state-citizen relationship. The empirical parts of the thesis examine the tactics and strategies utilised by those conducting (the state), implementing (welfare providers and employers), and recipients (people and employees) of welfare-to-work policies, before considering what adaptations, innovations, co-operation, resistance and coping strategies are being employed by these stakeholders in response to austerity politics. In the final part, I argue that whilst many of the neoliberalised policies devised by the Coalition Government have been a renewal and reinvention of those already in place, this is part of a broader trend which is marked by the emergence of a more punitive Neoliberalism associated with a work-first welfare regime.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation is a degree project for a bachelor's degree at Media Producer Education, 180 credits, Umeå University. The study is about identifying and describing how the assistant roles differ from first, second and third and how the work is structured and distributed during a television and film production in Sweden, the United States and England. The study also shows the similarities and differences that exist between the countries. The report is initiated with a part in which the background to the study and the questions that gave rise to the study are presented. Then the method chosen for the study is presented. Through participation in a television drama production, interviews and literature studies have research material has been collected for the study. The conclusion of the study shows that in the United States and England the AD professions and what they include are pretty much the same, However, it differs in Sweden. In Sweden, the role of First AD is the same as in the United States and England, but the others have become more optimized to suit Swedish television or film production. In Sweden, the United States and England the First AD is the directors right hand person and the link between the crew and the director. The first AD is the one who controls the recording site and its main task is to lead and coordinate the film team and support the director in its work. A Second AD in the United States and England works directly under the First AD and acts as his or hers the right hand person. The second AD’s main task is to ensure that the First AD's directives is performed in time and by the right person, that the schedule for actors is held and put together every recording day's call sheet. In Sweden, the Second AD can act as the First AD right hand person, or have responsibility for the background actors. Then the Second AD under pre-production books extras for each scene, schedules costume tests and during production, the second AD has responsibility for the extras and directs the extras according to the director's wishes. In the United States and England the third AD works directly under the First AD and the Second AD and its main responsibility is to assist the First AD and Second AD. The Third AD is also the one that has the responsibility for the background actors. In Sweden, the Third AD works directly under the First AD and Seond AD, if the Second AD isn’t in charge of the background actors. However if the Second AD is in charge of the Extras, then the Third AD works closer to the first AD and fills up for the responsibilities that the Second AD would otherwise have.Rapporten är ett examensarbete för en kandidatexamen vid Medieproducentutbildningen, 180 hp, Umeå Universitet. Studien handlar om att identifiera och beskriva hur regiassistentrollerna skiljer sig ifrån först, andra och tredje och hur arbetet struktureras och fördelas under en tv-produktion respektive filmproduktion i Sverige, USA och England. Studien visar även på de likheter och olikheter som finns mellan länderna. Rapporten inledes med en del där bakgrunden till studien och de frågeställningar som legat till grund för studien presenteras. Därefter presenteras metoden som valts för studien. Genom praktiskt deltagande i en tv-dramaproduktion, intervjuer och litteraturstudie har det samlats in underlag till studien. Resultatet av studien visar på att mellan USA och England skiljer sig yrkesrollerna och vad de innefattar nästintill ingenting, dock skiljer sig Sverige ifrån USA och England. I Sverige är FAD:ens roll den samma som i USA och England men de övriga har blivit mer optimerade för att kunna passa svensk tv-eller filmproduktion. I USA, England och Sverige är FAD:en regissörens högra hand och hen fungerar som en länk mellan filmteamet och regissören. FAD:en är den som styr inspelningsplatsen och dess viktigaste uppgift är att leda och koordinera filmteamet och stödja regissören i dess arbete. SAD:en I USA och England arbetar direkt under FAD:en och fungerar som hens högra hand. Dess huvuduppgifter är att se till att FAD:ens direktiv utförs i tid och av rätt person, att tidsplanen för skådespelare hålls och att göra i ordning varje inspelningsdags Call sheet, dagbesked. I Sverige kan SAD:en fungera som FAD:ens högerhand eller vara statistansvarig. Som statistansvarig arbetar SAD:en under förproduktion med att boka statister för varje scen, att styra upp mask och kostymprovningar. Under produktion har SAD:en ansvaret för att statisterna och SAD:en regisserar statisterna efter regissörens önskemål. I USA och England arbetar TAD:en direkt under FAD:en och SAD:en och dess huvudansvar är att assistera FAD:en och SAD:en. Ett huvudansvar som faller på en TAD i USA och England är att vara statistansvarig. I Sverige arbetar TAD:en direkt under FAD:en och SAD:en, om SAD:en inte fyller rollen som statistansvarig. Fyller däremot SAD:en rollen som statistansvarig, arbetar TAD:en närmare FAD:en än vad den gör SAD:en. TAD:en fyller då ofta upp för de funktioner som SAD:en annars skulle haft.

Full textAbstract:
L’importance des pratiques de la gravure pendant la Grande Guerre en France en Belgique et en Angleterre s’explique en partie par le renouveau des techniques (taille-douce, bois, lithographie) qui s’opère au cours de la deuxième moitié du XIXe siècle et au début du XXe siècle. Durant la guerre, elle permet aux artistes de s’engager par leur art mais elle dépasse largement la production stricte d'un art de propagande. La gravure fait en effet l’objet d’un investissement nouveau et important pour figurer le conflit, y compris par des artistes qui ne l’ont que peu voire jamais pratiquée avant-guerre. Guerre et gravure semblent ainsi adhérer l’une à l’autre et s’actualisent mutuellement. Cette thèse a pour ambition de mettre en évidence les enjeux de ces pratiques de la gravure pour représenter la guerre dans ces trois pays alliés. L’étude de la représentation fragmentée et fragmentaire du conflit qu’offre cette production se présente comme un apport concret à l’histoire de la création en temps de guerre et à l’histoire culturelle de la Première Guerre mondialeThe importance of engraving practices during the Great War in France, Belgium and England is explained in part by the revival of techniques (copper-plate, wood, stone) that occurred during the second half of the nineteenth and the early twentieth century. During the war, it allowed artists to get involved through their art, but it largely exceeded propaganda art productions. Engraving was effectively well used by artists to highlight the conflict, and even by those who had little or never practised this form of art before. War and engraving seemed to complement and update each other mutually. This thesis aims to emphasize the importance of engraving in representing the war in the three allied countries. The study of fragmented and fragmentary representation of the conflict that this production demonstrates is a concrete contribution to the history of artistic creation in times of war and to the cultural history of the First World War

"Secondary education for all" has casted profound impact upon secondary educa-tion reform in England in the first half of twentieth century. Richard Henry Tawney as the designer of the Labour Party educational policy, "secondary education for all", regarded it as a critical strategy for making England a better society of equality. The main purpose of this thesis is to study Tawney's educational thoughts, the "secondary education for all" policy and the development of secondary education reform in Eng-land, and to investigate the intertwined influence on future direction of education reform. This thesis adopted the historical approach, and the scope mainly focused on first-half twentieth century England and Wales. And the main policy documents used in this thesis contained Secondary Education for All: A Policy for Labour, Education: The Socialist Policy, Report of the Consultative Committee on The Education of the Adolescent and Labour and Education. There are several main findings of this thesis as follows: 1) Tawney treated education reform as an important part of social reform. Through education reform, the ideal of functional society, which signified a more equal so-ciety, could be reached. 2) The spirit of equality which advocated in "secondary education for all" included the equality of education opportunity and the acknowledgment of individual capability differences simultaneously. 3) The original purpose of "secondary education for all" was to expand the opportu-nity of secondary education for students from the working-class families, since the psychological findings used as justificatory evidence in "secondary education for all" was proved flawed, the policy indirectly led to the appearance of the tripartite system of secondary education after war.

Lynch, Kerry J. "New England terrestrial settlement in a submerged context: Moving pre-Contact archaeology into the twenty first century." 2010. https://scholarworks.umass.edu/dissertations/AAI3409625.
Full textAbstract:
Human occupation of the New England region of North America during the early Holocene has long been established archaeologically. However, the data exists almost solely from terrestrial sites. Vast portions of aerial land once available to early occupants of the area for resource procurement and living surfaces are now submerged. Underwater pre-Contact resources embedded in these submerged landforms will undeniably contribute to a holistic understanding of New England’s cultural history. Examination of current archaeological procedures reveal that the archaeological standards, practices, and theories commonly employed in terrestrial archaeology are largely not being extended past the coastline into the underwater environment. This is due, in part, to the past history of professional skepticism regarding the preservation and accessibility of terrestrial archaeological deposits post-Holocene sea level rise. A report of global, submerged, terrestrial archaeology projects that show submerged, intact resources challenge this skepticism. A detailed review of an underwater survey in Boston Harbor, designed to predict, locate, and investigate submerged pre-Contact sites, is used as a case study to argue that these resources deserve the same rigorous study as terrestrial archaeological resources. Post-glacial deposition may act as an agent of preservation in New England waters, and past concerns of transgressive erosion are discussed in light of current geophysical research. Recommendations of how and why submerged pre-Contact archaeological resources should become commonplace within archaeological inquiry are supported by advances in technology, increased geophysical survey of the marine environment and knowledge of the prevailing laws governing archaeological resources underwater.

This thesis aims to discuss the development of religious toleration in 19th-century England and the subsequent transformation of Anglicanism. The main issues include the Corporation and Test Acts Repeal Act of 1828, the Roman Catholic Relief Act in the next year and the Oxford Movement in the following period. From the ancient times, kings or rulers had tended to bring religious affairs under control, thus making their rule more solid and their state well-ordered. However, the predominance of the papacy in the high middle ages threatened the secular powers, so during the Reformation many kings and princes seized the opportunity to gain back their power. After the Anglican Church was founded, Nonconformists and Catholics had had few citizen rights, and since then some severe politic storms had arisen, e. g. the Civil War, and the party system had emerged as well. The Whigs tended to be sympathetic towards the Dissenters and the Catholics, while the Tories were the advocates of the Anglican Church. During the seventeenth century, the idea of toleration developed, and most dissenters were allowed to worship after the Glorious Revolution. In the next century, a series of Indemnity acts were passed to loosen the Corporation and Test Acts, which demanded those who will hold public offices take the sacraments in the Anglican Church. Most of the Whigs adhered to liberalism and tried to repeal the Corporation and Test Acts and to pass the Roman Catholic Bill, whereas some conservative Tories stood in their path. The ‘ultra-Tories’ opposed toleration very firmly, but others like Sir Robert Peel and the Duke of Wellington, who had voted against those bills at first, prepared to compromise. The foregoing bills passed with a premise that those who will be officials should promise not to injury or weaken the Anglican Church. Although the Establishment system was preserved, the Church of England was not in the ascendant anymore and its privileges were also going to be deprived; thus its relationship with the state became more irrelevant. Under such circumstances, churchmen such as C. J. Blomfield, one of the most important figures of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, and the Oxford theologians tried to emphasize the spiritual role of the Church, the latter stating that the Anglican Church derived its authority from the primitive church and clergymen were the teachers leading the Christians to comprehend the religious doctrines and the truth. Therefore, the unity of the state and the church began to disintegrate.

Full textAbstract:
“Renewing Homeland and Place” explores the complex intertwining of evangelical Christianity and notions of place and homeland in Algonquian communities in southern New England during the eighteenth century. In particular, this dissertation examines the participation of Algonquian men and women in the Protestant evangelical revivals known generally as the “First Great Awakening,” the adoption of New Light beliefs and practices within Algonquian communities, and the ways in which the Christian faith shaped and informed Algonquian understandings of place and community, and the protection of their lands. Mohegan, Pequot, Niantic, Narragansett, and Montaukett people living in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and on Long Island (New York) struggled continually throughout the eighteenth century to protect their land, resources, and livelihoods from colonial encroachment and dispossession. Christianity provided many Algonquians with beliefs, practices, and rituals that renewed, rather than erased, the spiritual and sustaining values they attached to their lands and that strengthened, rather than diminished, the kinship ties and sense of community that linked their settlements together. Equally as significant, the adoption of Christian beliefs and practices brought to the surface the dynamic and contested nature of community and place, and the varying ways in which Algonquians responded to colonization. As a number of Algonquians attended formal schools, assumed roles as ministers and teachers within their own settlements and among the Haudenosaunee in New York, and formed their own churches, they disagreed within their communities over issues of land use and political authority, and between their communities over the best response to the infringements they continued to suffer. By the 1770s a number of Christian leaders began to consider relocation to Oneida lands in New York as a solution to the land loss and impoverishment they faced in New England. While many Algonquians left their coastal homelands for central New York in the 1780s to form the Christian community of Brotherton, a number of Christians remained behind, highlighting the varying paths of adaptation and survival that Natives tread by the end of the century.Thesis (Ph.D, History) -- Queen's University, 2010-09-24 13:20:16.449
