INSIDE THIS EDITION

Research Notes

FORE WORD In an age of hope, it is reassuring to read work that seeks to explore and cast a critical eye on the world around us.

Knowledge is not simply ‘knowing stuff’ – real knowledge is knowing what to do with stuff.

We open this edition with information on several projects which celebrate widening participation and community involvement – our Chalk, Cherries and Chairs project engages local volunteers who learn how to conduct archive research and collect oral histories.

Uniculture provides a theoretical background on teaching and working in academic intercultural and multicultural environments. The concepts of student leadership and wellbeing are further explored by Dr Ceri Sims as she reports on building leadership identity through behaviours. These include community service, mentoring, helping others and involvement in organising school events, as well as formal activities associated with official school roles. Greta Paa-Kerner adds to the theme of student contribution to society though entrepreneurship by presenting opportunities across a number of ERDF funded projects. BNU students can support local economic growth through complex and interconnected ideas of sustainable development aimed at society needs within the framework of the Glide and ChallengeLab projects. MedTech Superconnector explores the best ways to accelerate innovations in medical technologies by funding small innovative projects with a commercial product in sight.

From this we move to the lecturer series in support of the Health and Social Care Workforce under the umbrella of the Buckinghamshire Health and Social Care Academy. The Academy’s goal is to optimise health and social care workforce education, training and development. A more philosophical approach is found in Nic Fryer’s detailed critical assessment of Rancière’s works and their implications for theatre and performance studies. Fryer has written the introduction to the Performance Philosophy series, which applies some of Rancière’s ideas to a protest made by the cast of Hamilton to the previous US Vice-President Mike Pence.

2

Finally, we close with an accolade of successes of our students’ and staff work; Professional Doctorate viva voce defence (by Sue Murray); virtual conference participation (Covid-19 is still impacting on our liberty to travel) and peer-reviewed journal articles.

I am so pleased with the work presented here - it is varied, insightful and stimulating. I hope that, like me, you feel empowered by these articles – the kind of empowerment that comes from understanding complex issues and I hope that you consider using this knowledge.

PROFESSOR FLORIN IORAS Director of Enterprise and Research

Research Notes

THE UNICULTURE PROJECT PROFESSOR FLORIN IORAS UniCulture is an Erasmus+ funded project that is developing an innovative, holistic and interactive approach for training university professors and teaching staff to work in intercultural and crosscultural (ICC) environments. The primary aim is to enhance access and active participation of students from vulnerable groups and minorities within universities, both educationally and socially, developing social inclusion and breaking discrimination patterns in society.

The training kit developed within the project includes a handbook providing a theoretical background for teaching in an ICC environment, a workbook with case studies, tests and scenarios mirroring the workbook structure and a manual for trainers, to facilitate implementation of the UniCulture course.

The next steps for the project include developing the manual for trainers to facilitate delivery of the UniCulture training course, and a guide on intercultural communication and social inclusion which will provide the link between working in the environment and support for the inclusion of vulnerable groups, further supporting social inclusion within universities.

The project is led by Transilvania University of Brașov in Romania with additional partners from the University of Zagreb Croatia, Education Activity FRAME Poland, and Pax Rhodopica Foundation in Bulgaria. BNU’s role in the project is led by Professor Florin Ioras. To learn more about the project activities and outcomes visit uniculture.unitbv.ro and join us on facebook.com/ UNICULTUREproject

The handbook provides the theoretical background needed for university professors and assistants to develop their personal and professional competencies and learn how to work better and more efficiently in diverse and intercultural environments. The handbook is structured in 4 modules and 19 chapters, presenting key concepts and terminology and outlining grounding theoretical models.

The workbook compliments the handbook, presenting case studies, examples, and scenarios, as well as interactive tests, quizzes, and exercises to be used for teaching, evaluation and selfevaluation. The workbook has a similar structure (4 modules and 19 chapters), providing the tools for applications and exercises.

Although the Covid-19 pandemic in Europe brought changes for all of us, the UniCulture team stayed connected and focused on the project. All project meetings were organized online as planned, using video conferences and virtual tools for communication and collaborative work.

WOODLANDERS’ LIVES AND LANDSCAPES: A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN BNU AND THE CHILTERNS CONSERVATION BOARD. DR HELENA CHANCE Associate Professor in Design Studies

In 2017, the Chilterns Conservation Board, the body responsible for managing the Chilterns ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’ (AONB), began a National Heritage Lottery Fund bid to deliver a landscape partnership project under the banner of ‘Chalk, Cherries and Chairs’. The objective was to address the challenges facing the Central Chilterns including HS2, ancient woodland being sold off, wildlife habitats fragmenting through development, traditional orchards and hedgerows disappearing, and an increasing disconnect between people and their local landscape. Dr Helena Chance, Associate Professor of Design Studies at BNU, was approached to support the £2.8 million bid because of her research expertise on the connections between people, landscape and industry, and knowledge of the local furniture making industry. Helena prepared a proposal for a community social history project, ‘Woodlanders’ Lives and Landscapes’ to investigate the social and domestic lives of those who worked in rural and domestic industries in the villages and woods of the Central Chilterns – chairmaking, lacemaking, plaiting straw (for hats), and tambour beading (for fashion).

Woodlanders’ was one of eighteen projects put forward to the successful bid and Buckinghamshire New University joined as a partner for the five-year scheme, commencing in 2019.

With the help of local press and radio, social media and word of mouth, the Woodlanders’ Lives and Landscapes project has already attracted over thirty volunteers interested in local history and keen to develop their skills and connect to other local historians. Helena enlisted Dr Lesley Hoskins as Research Associate, and together they are supporting the volunteers to combine existing knowledge with new research, discovering more about how the people who made their livings in the woodland and home-based industries – especially the women and children - went about their daily lives.

Assisted by local historians and heritage organisations such as Buckinghamshire Archives, Buckinghamshire Local History Society and a growing number of local history groups, volunteers are gaining research skills and writing up their research. The Oral History Society at the British Library provides training in the collection of oral histories. BNU students are already involved with project outputs, including 3rd year Graphic Arts students Charlotte Cameron and Caitlin Martin who have designed publicity materials, and videographer Shaun Dagnell, graduating in Film Studies this summer, who has made films for the web page. Further Woodlanders-related student projects are in the pipeline.

With many people looking for interesting and fulfilling things to do during lockdown, project outputs have accelerated.

Volunteers are transcribing census data from 1841-1911 to find out how social and economic change shaped the lives of families and opportunities for employment in Chilterns’ villages, and they are publishing articles on the project blog about their village and family histories. Some are creating a chair bodgers’ pub tour – a history trail around the pubs frequented by the men who worked in the woods on a pole lathe to turn trees into chair legs, spindles and stretchers for the furniture industry. Some of the publicans also ran chair-making workshops to supply the flourishing furniture industry in High Wycombe. Researchers are also filling in gaps in knowledge about lacemaking, straw plaiting and tambour beading in the Chilterns. Much is already known about these crafts, but we know less about the lives of the lace and plait dealers who acted as agents for the women and girls who worked long days making lace or plait at their cottage doors, or the lace and straw plait schools where children as young as three would learn the required skills. Little is known about the lives of women who worked on a tambour frame supplying beaded and sequinned textiles for the fashion industry.

Research Notes Research shows that the more we know about the history of the place where we live, the more we will care about it. We also know that involvement in community heritage research can help develop a sense of place, connect us to people and help with mental health. The National Heritage Lottery funds projects bringing these benefits to people and to communities.

The Covid-19 pandemic has both highlighted and created a desire to be involved in social history research and find out more about local and family history. The Woodlanders’ project is already having social impact, with volunteers reporting better motivation, more connection with people, and greater confidence and satisfaction.

Students and staff wishing to learn more about local chair, textile and hat production can join our training sessions on archive research and in collecting oral histories, or gain work experience making films and videos to be showcased on the project website.

THE EFFECT OF STUDENT LE ADERSHIP ROLES AND BEHAVIOURS ON MOTIVATION AND WELL-BEING Dr Ceri Sims, Senior Lecturer (from the School of Human and Social Sciences), has published an article with Paul Thompson, Head of Geography at Sevenoaks School in Innovate, Journal of Teaching and Learning.

The aim of the research was to investigate student leadership in a secondary school and examine its relationship to self-determination, academic motivation, hope (defined as willpower and way power thinking) and well-being.

The research involved completion of 5 short questionnaires by 247 students.

These explored the links between self-perceptions of leadership alongside self-perceptions of school membership, academic self-regulation, hope and well-being. The students were pupils from Sevenoaks School from across year

groups 9-11 (middle and upper school) and were both male and female.

the research at the Rethinking Creativity conference in the autumn.

Preliminary findings suggest that having a formal role per se might not be the key driver for perceptions of student leadership and that building leadership identity through behaviours such as community service, mentoring, helping others and involvement in organising school events and activities may be just as important as being selected to wear a badge in an official school role.

The full research article is available on the BNU Repository bucks.repository. guildhe.ac.uk/id/eprint/18160

The findings will be disseminated to promote the understanding of these links and choices that might be considered to create a change in schools. The research has been accepted for presentation at the European Congress of Positive Psychology and a report has been submitted to The Independent Schools Magazine. Sevenoaks School will present

ENTERPRISE OPPORTUNITIES THRIVE AT BUCKINGHAMSHIRE NEW UNIVERSITY GRETA PAA-KERNER HE AD OF BUSINESS ENGAGEMENT Enterprise opportunities across the university continue to grow and this academic year is looking very promising.

Here are some exciting projects that the university is either leading or is part of a consortium delivering entrepreneurship and innovation support:

BUCKS HSC VENTURES: Working with our programme partners, the Bucks HSC Ventures virtual accelerator programme benefits earlystage start-up companies by introducing new innovations to market. We work directly with Bucks Healthcare Trust, the Bucks Clinical Commissioning Group, Oxford Academic Health Science Network and the Bucks Council to pool vital facilities, networks and expertise to create a launchpad for imbedding innovative new products or services in the health or social care ecosystem.

CHALLENGE LAB: The Challenge Lab is an upcoming programme designed to bring the power of innovation generated through the private sector to work on reducing costs and improving the effectiveness of the public sector’s response to key challenges facing society. By using the “hackathon” methodology, the private sector can create innovative products, services and processes to help address these grand challenges.

Starting in June 2021, the programme will follow a 6-8-month cycle as follows: Challenge Development: Working alongside the Challenge Lab programme manager, our academic community will facilitate a workshop involving key stakeholders in a Buckinghamshire-based public sector organisation, such as the Bucks Healthcare Trust or Bucks Council, to prioritise a challenge that needs solving. Examples of challenges could be ageing society, obesity, loneliness, etc.

Hackathon: These hackathons will stimulate creative problem solving by bringing together key local partners and a range of potential suppliers to brainstorm solutions to the challenges such as cost reduction strategies, process re-design, data management, use of immersive technologies, digital solutions, etc. The Hackathon will be run over a two-day period (12 hours) and academics from varying backgrounds are needed to give breadth and depth to the brainstorming sessions.

Business Support: a panel then evaluates the hackathon solutions and selects the business ideas to bring forward for further refinement. An academic will work alongside the Challenge Lab programme manager to mentor the businesses to help progress the solution whether it is a product, process or service.

Research Notes

PERFORMANCE PHILOSOPHY, RANCIÈRE AND PERFORMANCE Nic Fryer, Senior Lecturer in Acting and Performing Arts, has co-edited a new book “Rancière and Performance”, as part of the Performance Philosophy series, an internationally renowned imprint in the field of theatre and performance studies.

Nic has worked with Colette Conroy, Director of the Institute of Arts, University of Cumbria, on this edited collection. It is the first to investigate the points of contact between the work of Jacques Rancière, a leading French political philosopher, and the field of theatre and performance studies. Nic has written the introduction to the collection, which applies some of Rancière’s ideas to a protest made by the cast of Hamilton to the former US Vice-President Mike Pence. He has also written a chapter discussing some of Rancière’s writings on political community and considering this in relation to Duncan Macmillan’s play People, Places and Things.

Rancière has been hugely influential in the field of political philosophy and aesthetics. The book offers a detailed critical assessment of Rancière’s works and their implications for theatre and performance studies. It includes contributions by ten key academics from the UK, US and Europe. It examines the critical and analytical interventions that have been made to date and looks forward towards challenges to the future uses of Rancière’s work in performance and theatre studies. It considers a wide range of performance work, from a performance for the residents of a Victorian workhouse to the activist performances of Liberate Tate.

The book has received accolades from leading academics: Although a decade has passed since the English publication of the Emancipated Spectator, Rancière’s thought has lost none of its power to unsettle preconceptions regarding art and politics. Fryer and Conroy’s timely volume proves the point. Its judicious selection of essays probe the potentialities and – yes – frustrations for theatre and performance scholars engaging with the dissensus at the heart of Rancière’s project.

— Tony Fisher, Reader in Theatre and Philosophy, Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, University of London

This timely collection of new essays provides a fascinating survey of the work of Jacques Rancière and its impact on cutting edge thinking in theatre and performance studies. In a series of provocative and inspiring engagements, theatre and performance are offered here as sites for destabilising the hierarchies of expertise and experience, exploding myths of the passive spectator, and framing some of the most urgent political questions of our time.

— Sophie Nield, Senior Lecturer in Drama, Royal Holloway, University of London “I’m really proud of this book”, said Nic. “It has taken us about six years to get together, but the journey has been well worth it.

I hope it will prove to be a significant collection in this field”.

Rancière and Performance was published in February 2021.

TRIBUTES: “I had the absolute pleasure of supervising Allan’s Professional Doctorate. It was with great joy that I witnessed him enthral the examiners at his Viva, bowl them over with his expertise, watched their serious faces instantly being won over by his infectious smile. ‘‘I will forever remember the moment he formally accepted the positive conclusion to the Viva and shook the panel’s hands before asking me for a private word outside. In the corridor he jumped up and down like a gleeful boy and hugged me with immense gratitude. His achievement represented his resilience and determination facing numerous challenges over the years; at these times he still managed to light up a room with his smile.

I will miss you Allan”.

CIARÁN O’KEEFFE

“I was shocked and saddened to hear that Allan had died suddenly. I taught and supervised him for a Professional Doctorate. He was an able and engaged student with a kind heart and a great sense of humour. He will be greatly missed”.

CONFERENCES

( VIRTUAL AT TENDANCE)

PSYCHOANALYSIS “POST-TRUTH”: US ELECTION SPECIAL AT THE FREUD MUSEUM. NOVEMBER 2020.

Dr Fil Ieropoulos, Senior Lecturer in Media and Creative Industries worked with colleagues from Birkbeck College and Royal Holloway University to organise a two-day interdisciplinary online conference Psychoanalysis and Post-Truth at the Freud Museum. The event brought together professionals, researchers and showcased video work produced by artists.

Misinformation, misinterpretation, and outright lies have been part of public discourse since the ancient world. However, what strikes us today is the imperviousness of falsehoods to correction through the presentation of facts. This phenomenon first caught public attention following the Brexit vote and election of Donald Trump – and in the past months, has massively intensified in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. Find out more here freud.org.uk/event/psychoanalysis-post-truth-uselection-special/ John Hathaway, Senior Lecturer in the School of Business, Management and Computing, gave an online presentation at the Social Sciences and Economics Research Society 2nd International Conference on Human Capital, Social Sciences, Business Economics & Management Research (HSSM) in December 2020. The presentation title was “Rapid Evidence Meta-Analysis, REMA; Why Corporate Strategists and Business Research Require Speed and Recency” Dr Yetunde Dairo, Associate Professor of Physiotherapy in the School of Health Care and Social Work, presented her paper on “Measuring sedentary behaviour across the spectrum of adults with intellectual disabilities: A comparison between accelerometer and international physical activity questionnaire.“ at Physiotherapy UK in November 2020.

Dr Adrian Guachalla Senior Lecturer in Aviation and Security presented at the 3rd Tourist Conference with Sustainable Tourism: Shaping a Better Future at the Kasetsart University Thailand in February 2021.

Taryn Tavener-Smith, Graduate Teaching Assistant in Nursing and Allied Health, presented a paper on “Evil transgressions and the monstrous female vampire in David Mitchell’s Slade House (2015)” at the 3rd Global Inclusive Interdisciplinary Conference April 2021.
