Welcome back to the 'Ed Space blog
Alison Stott
Research Development Manager, HudCRES
It's nearly two years since the first 'Ed Space blog post, and at the start of this new academic year we're returning after a welcome summer break with a brand new look. Not that our academic staff have been taking much time off …here's what just a few of them have been up to.
In July ...
Sarah Williamson was one of seven HudCRES staff and postgraduate researchers who presented at SCUTREA, the Standing Conference on University Teaching and Research in the Education of Adults. Her paper, Seeing beyond belief: the feminist museum hack as a practice of hope (pp357-365), co-authored with Darlene Clover from the University of Victoria, Canada, was awarded the David Jones Prize for the best paper with an international and/or creative focus. Sarah has also written about the ‘gallery hack’ in her blog post Challenging gender representation, injustice and inequality through art gallery interventions. Since then, Sarah has been shortlisted in the ‘Most Innovative Teacher of the Year’ category at the Times Higher Education Awards 2018 to be held in November, and asked to speak at the inaugural THE Live event immediately preceding the awards.
Dr Martyn Walker published The exclusion explosion - a post on the Views from the North blog - about the increasing number of school exclusions.
In August ...
HudCRES colleagues from early years, childhood studies and primary education travelled to Budapest, Hungary to present at the European Early Childhood Education Research Association (EECERA) Annual Conference on the theme of Early Childhood Education, Families and Communities.
Colleagues were also celebrating the recent publication of Advanced Work-based Practice in the Early Years: A Guide for Students, edited by Dr Samantha McMahon and Dr Mary Dyer, follow up to the earlier Work-based Practice in the Early Years: A Guide for Students.
In September ...
Professor Paul Miller gave a keynote lecture entitled Race discrimination, the politics of knowledge and cultural inequality in England at the British Educational Research Association (BERA) Annual Conference held at Northumbria University.
On a similar theme, and also in September, Professor James Avis presented a paper co-authored by Professor Kevin Orr and Dr Paul Warmington (Associate Professor at the University of Warwick) entitled Black students in VET: Learner experiences in an English metropolitan and provincial setting at the European Educational Research Association (EERA) Annual Conference in Bolzano, Italy.
The new book edited by Paul Miller and Christine Callender entitled Race, Education and Educational Leadership in England is currently available to pre-order from Bloomsbury, and due for publication next year.
Other books published recently include Primary Teachers, Inspection and the Silencing of the Ethic of Care by Dr Jim Reid, and Ethnographic Writing edited by Bob Jeffrey and Dr Lisa Russell, published by Ethnography and Education Publishing.
This is just a small snapshot of things that have been happening over the summer.
