Inaugural Lectures at BNU
The Inaugural Lecture Series at BNU continues apace, with the lectures delivered by our Professors representing a celebration of outstanding research excellence at BNU and the notable contributions by our Professors to their respective fields of research. Inaugural Lectures at BNU bring the University together to give conferment to academics who have achieved the accolade of Professorship or Associate Professorship and are both open to all and free to attend.
November 30th 2023
Professor Sri-Kartini Leet
Head of School, School of Art and Design
In November 2023 BNU hosted Professor Sri-Kartini Leet who delivered their Inaugural Lecture on Expanding the photographic archive: Framing identity, community, and history through participatory practice.
Within the lecture Sri-Kartini discussed their participatory art projects – projects which embrace the input and voices of members of the communities that she is engaged with. Her project I Dream of Home involved 90 participant contributors who were asked to donate an image to the project which they felt were symbolic of their idea of ‘home’.
The lecture discussed the ideas which emerge from Sri-Kartini’s practice, such as the use of the archival format and approach in contemporary art-making. The subject of her work on ideas of home is entirely subjective and refers to both real and imaginary situations and contexts in addition to the locating of ‘home’ in specific places meant that the archive of images produced reflects an attempt to visualise states of mind that informed by lived experience, memory and fantasy. At the lecture Sri-Kartini also discussed a recent community-based project for Amersham Museum where adults aged between 16 – 30 contributed words and images which define all that is meaningful to them about Amersham.
Sri-Kartini is committed to socially engaged practice, and her practice-based work has developed through a number of funded/commissioned participatory projects that engage wider communities of contributors, firmly believing in the potential of the arts to make positive social change. In addition to subject-based research, she has also undertaken research into pedagogy and methods to enhance the learning and teaching environment.
April 17th 2024
Professor Paul Morgan
Pro Vice-Chancellor (Education)
The most recent in the series of Inaugural Lectures took place on April 17th 2024, where Professor Paul Morgan (Pro Vice-Chancellor, Education) presented on The ‘ordinary magic’ of team resilience: A view from inside the huddle.
Throughout his career, Paul’s own experiences of sports performance have been a constant source of motivation to strive to succeed, deal with setbacks, support others’ development and to enjoy his professional career. His passion for performance inspired his research interests on the psychology of sporting excellence and its transfer to settings such as business, military and healthcare. Paul’s specific area of expertise lies in group dynamics and ‘team resilience’, and his research has helped to better understand how teams withstand adversity and pressure to achieve optimal performance and has helped advance psychologists’ knowledge of the nature, meaning and scope of team resilience.
The lecture explored the influence of sports and performance psychology in Paul’s professional career and shared some personal reflections of the application of key psychological concepts in the achievement contexts of sports and education. Performance sport presents many demands and challenges for athletes, and if athletes are to fulfil their athletic potential they need to be able to withstand, develop despite or because of and excel when they encounter such stressors.
The lecture also presented a selection of Paul’s research findings including the resilient characteristics of elite sports teams (what a resilient team ‘looks like’) and underpinning processes (how a resilient team functions). Drawing on his research, Paul concluded by suggesting practical recommendations for those working with teams to develop team resilience in performance contexts.
Upcoming Lectures
The talks by Sri-Kartini and Paul have marked the second and third in our ongoing series of Inaugural Lectures – events which mark a celebration of our academics’ outstanding research excellence, achievements, and contributions to their field while also giving conferment to academics who have achieved the accolades of Professorship or Associate Professorship, and these lectures are available to watch online here

Research Projects
AI-Assisted Assessment of Permitted Development Rules for Residential development in the UK
Dr Benjamin Aziz Associate Professor, School of Creative and Digital Industries
Dr Supreet Lama Lecturer, School of Art, Design and Performance
Mohammad Hasan Mosaic Building Design Ltd.
In the current landscape of household building extensions, enlargements and alterations, rules of permitted development are still largely checked in a manual way using visual inspection of diagrams and maps by planning officers in local councils in England. In most cases, this can take up to eight weeks for an approval and assessment to be made for compliance. The Permitted development rights for householders – Technical Guidance document, issued by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, outlines the specific classes of such permitted developments along with the conditions underlying each development class, with the aim to speed up development without the need for formal planning permission. However, this is rarely the case, given the timescales to assess an application matches that of full householder applications.
A short study project is currently being undertaken by the School of Creative and Digital Industries and the School of Art, Design and Performance at BNU in collaboration with Mosaic Building Design Ltd., a planning permission specialist in London, in order to tackle the problem of the manual inspection of household planning applications. The project aims to conduct a feasibility study for Mosaic Building Design Ltd., leading to the understanding of the current stateof-the-art technologies and solutions that employ AI methods in detecting anomalies in new proposals of building extensions as well as other developments, and whether such developments adhere to the current
planning legislation primarily permitted development rights for domestic dwellings. The study will highlight the requirements and possible pathways for the implementation of a new AI-based application that will analyse existing building structures and their proposed extension designs, produce a collection of the relevant data points (i.e. a data model) and check that the data points meet a set of rules corresponding to the permitted development criteria.
The envisioned impact of the current study, as well as its future extension, will be to achieve the following:
1. To gain some understanding of potential AIbased solutions for reviewing planning application documents without human intervention;
2. To develop a prototype capable of analysing data points and evaluating against planning policy requirements;
3. To develop an AI-assisted tool used in assessing applications and reducing timescales currently faced within the local authorities, which could be used by homeowners, architects, consultants and planning officers, and
4. The gathering of a large dataset in the form of images/3D models of UK dwellings to train AI models usable for future projects.
The project is funded by the BNU Alliance fund.
The impact of aviation policies on pro-sustainable tourism growth: a case focus on the ten most aviation and tourism dependent world states
Professor David Warnock Smith
Professor of Research and Education, School of Aviation and Security
Gail Rowntree
Associate Professor, School of Aviation and Security
This project stems from a previous piece of research that focused on understanding and evaluating the balance between aviation policies and prosustainable tourism growth. The project explored the environmental and commercial aviation policies that might be challenged by multi-lateral or national level growth or net-zero targets – policies that might therefore be acting as barriers to sustainable aviation and tourism.
The initial research consisted of a review of the available literature around sustainable aviation and tourism which highlighted key themes and gaps in the scholarship. The main question addressed by the research related to how the environmental policies at a national and regional level might be impacted and challenged by more liberal commercial policies to encourage growth in tourism, aviation and the development of the countries economically. It was found that policies aimed at growth could positively enable social mobility and investment in infrastructure and health - aspects that are key markers for growth, especially in developing countries – where without these kinds of investment the countries risked remaining in poverty or being overtaken by other nations. Crucially, this research looked at all these policies and legislation in the round and not separately in order to gain a better overview of where there were gaps and barriers for success.
The issues and challenges appear to be raised when environmental policies can be a barrier to a nation’s economic development. Often this relates to policies agreed at an international level - for example policies set out by the United Nations Conference of Parties (COP) agreements, International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) or the UN World Tourism Organisation (WTO) - and can often conflict with liberal commercial policies and legislation at a national and international level, hampering the plans for development and growth especially around the number of incoming tourist visitors.
Taking the World Economic Situation and Prospects (WESP) aggregation methods that are reviewed every three years and which take into account data from a variety of organisations such as the United Nations, World Bank and International Monetary Fund, the research team was able to establish a top ten list of countries for further review in the form of case studies for Phase Two.
The second phase of the research takes an in-depth analytical approach into each of the top ten countries identified by the Phase 1 research outcomes. To undertake this new research the environmental aviation policies that each of the ten case studies have in place either at a multi-lateral, bi-lateral or national state level are being reviewed.
Secondly, there will be an analysis of the effective commercial liberalisation level of each country in the top ten to help determine to whatextent they may conflict with any legally binding environmental policies. This will include areas such as air service agreements, foreign ownership rules of airlines, and potential restrictions on airport growth such as slot restrictions or limitations on the building of new runways. The impact of the balance between environmental and commercial aviation policies on the potential for sustainable tourism growth will then be estimated for each case country.
Results at the time of writing appear to show a potential conflict between environmental and commercial aviation policies which promote tourism growth. All the countries being evaluated with the exception of Spain are situated outside Europe, and
most of the top ten are reliant on tourism and to a certain extent commercial liberalism to grow their economies and develop their tourism industry. They also appear to have a desire to embrace sustainable tourism, with an early example of this being Thailand (the top ranked country on the tourism by air dependence list), identified as being heavily reliant on tourism for national income but also evolving its reliance on tourism into areas such as ‘wellness holidays’ and ‘sustainable resorts’, which crucially would require fewer international visitors over longer stays with higher spending power. However, when comparing their national level policies, Thailand appears to be struggling to balance the required international agreements into their overall sustainable growth plans for tourism.
The full results of the case study will be available from July 2024.
The use of Electronic Practice Assessment Documents (ePADs) in placements: Experiences of the September 2021 BSC Nursing Cohort
Euthan Newman
Lecturer, School of Nursing and Midwifery
Marie Newman
Senior Lecturer, School of Nursing and Midwifery
Helen Ayo-Ajayi
Associate Professor, School of Nursing and Midwifery
The new phase of Electronic Practice Assessment Document (ePAD) implementation commenced at Buckinghamshire University in 2021 as an online platform that enables students to record placement requirements and obtain valuable feedback in real time relating to their proficiencies and professional values, sign-off in practice, and recording of practice hours. The ePAD is predominantly accessed online via a website, accompanied by iOS and android mobile apps.
In line with the NHS Long Term Plan published in 2019 the ability of nurses to use, manage and educate others in the use of healthcare technology is viewed as of paramount importance in relation to the aims of UK Healthcare Services.
This research sought to investigate the impact that an early and meaningful introduction to technology as part of the learning process could potentially lead to. The launch of the ePAD for nursing students at BNU in 2021 marked an intentional transition from paper-based learning to an electronic system, and the goal of this research project was to analyse the impact of the ePAD on learning and to assess its impact on the provision of safe and quality practice.
Driven by a qualitative methodology, research utilising a balanced semi-interview schedule sought to glean the real-life experiences of participants using the ePAD, with questions that focused on ascertaining both its helpful and unhelpful aspects. The first round of interviews focussed on first-year students of the BSc September 2021 cohort after their first two mandated placements were attended in their first year of study. The interview data provided reflected the progress students made from the introduction of the ePAD at the start of their placement to their reflections on using the device towards the ending of their second placement.
While the majority of participants in the study were aged 40 and over, they were not homogenous in their explanations of how well they thought they were able to manage everyday technology such as smart phones and computers. The participants were noticeably engaged, and their body language, facial expressions and tone of voice strongly suggested both that they wanted their story told and that the interviews provided a beneficial outlet. There was also a defined sense conveyed by the participants that they did not want their successors to experience the same issues that they had experienced, with the research experience appearing to be cathartic, and briefing responses from the participants included expressions of their gratefulness for the opportunity to express their personal feelings.
Thematic analysis of the data highlighted that although some students experienced apprehension relating to their initial induction to the ePAD others were more enthusiastic, with a marked difference in experiences between the first and second placement mandated for this cohort of first-year students. This was attributed to an increase in knowledge over time through continued practical involvement with the ePAD alongside moving to a less restricted placement environment.
The study highlighted that participants were actively trying to remedy the issues they were facing, such as initiating communication with the university and forming self-support groups. Participants were also cognisant of the value of the ePAD to their learning and development, with their responses demonstrating a level of mindfulness and acceptance of the technology as a present and future tool for both themselves and others.
Questioning around the knowledge and ability of the professionals to use the ePAD drew some unexpected responses. While there were some positives in the knowledge and skills of such individuals officiating the education of students (mentors, supervisors, practice assessors) within the placement settings, a large proportion of the responses highlighted an insufficient level of preparedness from some placement professionals.
The ePAD is not without issues, as it brings with it some inherent concerns around how it is introduced, received on placement and how the training for its use is delivered. The recommendations made by participants included that they be kept up to date by the University as to any changes to the programme and to be prompted through alerts to address the required sections of the ePAD as they progressed through it. As the study identified, all stakeholders involved must work together as respected partners seeking to achieve a common goal and purposeful training for students and placement professionals on the workings of the ePAD is essential for positive outcomes to be realised. The study also highlighted the need for further research on the needs of nominated placement professionals who support student nurses on placement, forming a basis for future research in this area.
Irish Nurses in the NHS
Dr Tom McGorrian
Associate Professor in Film Production, School of Creative and Digital Industries
As the National Health Service (NHS) celebrates its 75th anniversary in 2023, this BNU oral history film documentary tells the story of a forgotten but crucial component of its workforce: the Irish migrant nurses.
The recruitment of young Irish women into British nursing has a long history. During World War II Irish trained and trainee nurses were exempt from war time restrictions on Irish immigration. With the launch of the NHS in 1948, Irish girls were directly recruited into nursing in England in local labour exchanges as well as advertisements in Irish local and national newspapers. Recruitment campaigns throughout the 1950s and the 1960s saw NHS staff travel across Ireland, often setting up in local hotels, in big cities and remote rural areas, to interview and recruit Irish teenagers for nursing training. Thousands of such young women were then assigned to train and work in hospitals throughout Britain
The documentary film has grown out of a wider, on-going, oral history project based at London Metropolitan University’s Irish Nurses Oral History Project led by Professor Louise Ryan and Grainne McPolin, a former nurse turned radio producer. The documentary is comprised of interviews conducted by BNU’s Dr Tom McGorrian and directed by one his former students, Mohamed Ali Elota, with veterans of those waves of Irish nurse migrants from the 1950s to 1970s together with repurposed footage from the archives of the British Film Institute that reveal the nursing environment they had to work in.
Interviewees included the plain-talking Mary Hazard who migrated to London in 1952 - a natural storyteller who offered some wonderful, funny, and moving stories about their years as a student nurse in London and their adventures both inside the hospital and out and about in London socialising during the 1950s. Mary’s career developed over time, combined with single parenthood and several personal tragedies but nevertheless, despite it all, they remain strong and positive. Having retired at 60, Mary was drawn back into nursing in a local GP surgery and continued to work until they were 79 years old - when they said computerisation got the better of them!
Pictured: Mary Hazard
We also interviewed Bernie Naughton, who moved to London to train as a nurse in 1965. Bernie told a great story about growing up in Ireland in the 1950s, where there were very few opportunities for girls - but Bernie was ambitious, describing themself as a ‘dreamer’ who wanted more out of life. Leaving school, Bernie got a job in a local factory but felt frustrated and wanted to pursue a proper career and found out about nurse training opportunities in England via a friend of her sister who was a nurse in London, leading to a long and fruitful career first in hospital nursing and later in the community. Bernie later ended their career as a practice manager for a local GP surgery.
The documentary will also feature archive footage and stills and the ways in which nurses were recruited and trained, the shared (and often multi-cultural) accommodation they lived in, and the often- difficult reception that greeted them when they arrived at towns and cities across Britain. The nurses joined Irish clubs and frequented Irish dance halls like the ‘Galtymore’ in North London, often feeling like unwelcome guests in Britain - not quite foreign, but not quite English either, sometimes softening or disguising their accents (though many ended up marrying local Englishmen). Louise and Grainne also feature in the film and provide additional contextual information.
This oral history documentary film will contribute to education programmes for new trainee nurses (including those at BNU and at London Metropolitan University) by preserving and sharing the important and valuable legacy of Irish migrant nurses to Britain’s NHS. The film was screened at the Irish Embassy (London) in February 2024 with over 100 people in attendance, and the documentary team are currently working on a distribution plan targeting film festivals, oral history conferences and television broadcasters.
Aside from the core film crew, the project has involved BNU Film and TV students in the filming production stage with the aim of making it as inclusive and diverse as possible. The overall intended impact is to raise awareness about the enormous contribution of Irish Nurses to the NHS. To date, the full scale and significance of this contribution has gone under the radar. This film will help to raise awareness and inform public opinion and so enhance understanding of this hitherto untold story – after the recent 75th anniversary of the NHS in 2023, the forgotten contribution of the Irish Nurses to the NHS is something that should be highlighted and celebrated.
This study was supported by the BNU Impact Centre for the Enrichment of Culture and Identity.

White Paper: The Future of Tourism, Hospitality and Events Education
Lisa Wyld
Head of School, Missenden Abbey International Hotel and Hospitality School
Dr Naz Ali
Associate Professor, Missenden Abbey International Hotel and Hospitality School
Alexandra Constantinescu
Senior Lecturer, Missenden Abbey International Hotel and Hospitality School
Birte Schmitz
Senior Lecturer, Missenden Abbey International Hotel and Hospitality School
A White Paper was jointly commissioned by the Association for Tourism in Higher Education (ATHE), Council for Hospitality Management (CHME) and Association for Events Management Education (AEME) to report on the future of Tourism, Hospitality and Events (THE) Management education in the United Kingdom (UK). The paper examines this topic in the contexts of increased shareholder pressure, shifting government policy and its impact on Further Education and Higher Education sectors at various levels including funding, enrolment, progression pathways, and graduate outcomes.
The paper, co-authored by Lisa Wyld, Alexandra Constantinescu, Birte Schmitz and Dr. Naz Ali from the Missenden Abbey International Hotel and Hospitality School, assesses the impact of Brexit, the cost-ofliving crisis, and education and immigration policies on Further and Higher Education institutions’ ability to attract students and provides data analyses and forecasts for the next five years while also proposing recommendations for education providers, industry, and policymakers.
Drawing on a wide variety of institutional data, centralised reporting, government statistics and industry news, the paper is informed by scholarlyresearch, data audits and a thorough analysis of direct input from a range of stakeholders, including academics, industry employers, recruiters, students, and graduates.
The findings of the paper suggest that the future of the UK THE Management education is shaped by a shift towards international student recruitment, with an increase in international recruitment forecasted for all Tourism, Hospitality and Events postgraduate programmes. A healthy increase in home student recruitment is also forecasted for Hospitality undergraduate programmes. Research findings outline the significant role that industry should play in curriculum enhancement and development, and the need for industry to closely collaborate with Higher and Further Education providers and to get involved in developing successful graduate schemes, internship, and placement programmes.
Despite facing significant challenges, there are multiple opportunities for THE Management education to work in partnership with industry bodies, employers,
policymakers, and the wider community towards shifting perceptions, aligning teaching, learning and assessment strategies to meet industry needs, attracting diverse students and showcasing its real value and contribution both at social and economic levels. There is a demand for wider recognition of the major contribution of Tourism, Hospitality and Events industries towards the UK economy and the crucial part that education providers have in solving the recruitment and skills crises faced by the industry. Involvement, collaboration, recognition: three directions for action aimed at revolutionising Tourism, Hospitality and Events Management education and empowering the future generation of students and professionals.
The preliminary findings of the White Paper were presented at the ‘Progressing Policy for Tourism, Hospitality and Events Education’ Conference organised by ATHE, CHME and AEME and hosted by the University of West London on 18th October 2023. The final findings will be published with the support of the commissioning associations and will be presented at a Parliamentary session in the upcoming period.
Students’ perception of Blended Learning: The best of both worlds?
Barbara Nicolls Senior Lecturer, School of Human and Social Sciences
Blended Learning (BL) is the thoughtful integration of classroom face-to-face (F2F) learning with online learning experiences, offering contact, convenience and continued communication for both education providers and students through a seamless and complementary flow of learning in the associated discussion forums.
This research case study explored the 2022/23 Postgraduate Certificate in Practice Education students’ perception of their educational experience in the online discussion forum (ODF) designed according to the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework by Garrison, Anderson and Archer within their work on critical inquiry in a text-based environment . This framework was designed to create a deep and meaningful collaborative-constructivist learning environment through the development of three interdependent dimensions – teaching presences (TP), social presences
(SP), and cognitive presences (CP). This research explored how each of the three presences (TP, SP and CP) was manifested in the ODF and addressed this question through thematic analysis of the ODF posts guided by the indicators of the three presences.
The design of this study was constructed to align with BNU’s long term vision of being student and customer focussed to support the Thrive 28 strategy and with a mindful awareness of the recommendations made by the Office for Students (OfS) in 2022 on the value of working directly with students, with a focus group interview conducted at the end of the programme to explore students’ perception of the impact of ODF participation on their educational experience.
The preliminary findings showed that CP - an important indicator of quality of an online learning experiencewas manifested to a certain extent in the ODF, with 3-5 students individually posting weekly responses to the teacher-assigned weekly readings. This represented the trigger to become aware of a topic through initiating the inquiry process, followed by exploring the topic by searching for relevant information, engaging in reflection and sharing explanations, and then integrating and constructing meaning from various resources that contributed to offering possible solutions. This then led to evidence of originality in the summative assessments, where students applied these possible solutions as adapted findings within their work. The research also found some evidence that students took into account diverse viewpoints - although this was limited to agreeing with peers, rather than constructive feedback.
By contrast, meaningful discourse was defined within this research as a process of collaboration and social negotiation where the goal is to share different viewpoints and ideas and collaborate on problem solving and knowledge building activities. This was manifested in the Group Discussion Forum (GDF) with evidence shown of both CP and TP when the students were preparing for their peer reviewed, individual presentations. Learning acquired through exploration in groups was also seen to be integrated and applied with the final assignment, with SP also manifested in the GDF
by their affective, interactive and cohesive responses. The focus group interviews also confirmed that the students were more comfortable learning online in small groups, citing fear of being judged by others and lack of self-confidence in text-based discussions in public domains.
One conclusion that can be drawn from the study so far is that in order for the ODF (and similar virtual environments selected to complement the F2F sessions) to foster higher order learning and positive educational experiences, TP should be shared between the instructor and the students where the students take responsibility for encouraging and motivating their peers to be socially present, which could lead to a meaningful and satisfying educational experience. As a text-based ODF represents a form of asynchronous communication, it is an important pedagogical tool – but for students to have a positive educational experience in BL programmes, it is recommended that its potential be harnessed for community building, active engagement, language development, critical thinking and written communication in order to demonstrate feedback literacy through TP, which in turn fosters SP that leads to CP.

This is article is dedicated to Dr Fabia Franco, who sadly passed away in January 2024.
Documentary filmmaking raises multiple challenges, with ethical issues first and foremost among them. A documentary filmmaker has the final say on how the film’s subjects are portrayed, what to shoot (and what not to shoot), and how to edit the film so that it is true to its topic and subjects – while at the same time still working as a compelling story for audiences. Representing people with dignity and empathy is also of vital importance – especially when working in experimental settings, which bring added issues of client confidentiality that require careful navigation, as well as cross-disciplinary collaborations.
With this context very much in mind Dr Tom McGorrian set about producing a film with several of his final year BA Film and TV documentary students that showed how music therapy is being used to help Ukrainian refugee mothers and their toddlers in a leading-edge, collaborative project with Middlesex University and the University of South Wales. The project team included Dr Fabia Franco (Associate Professor of Psychology), Dr Letitia Slabu (Senior Lecturer) and Dr Tamara Fedotiuk (Visiting Researcher ) - and from South Wales, Dr Elizabeth Coombes ( Music Therapist and Clinical Supervisor).
Filmed at the Old Diorama Arts Centre in London in 2023, the project looked at carers and their children under the age of three who had escaped from war and conflict. With both groups experiencing high rates of trauma and loss, there is a defined impact on their mental health, parenting, and child development. BNU’s film illustrated the process of organising and delivering the music therapy intervention across eight weeks, including psychological measures of wellbeing, parenting, and physiological stress regulation. It also depicts through interviews how anxiety reduced significantly after the eight weeks with improvisational music therapy interactions across the group – including traditional Ukrainian folksongs, lullabies and nursery rhymes. Levels of depression and signs of post-traumatic stress disorders also fell among the displaced refugees, while they found improvements in their concentration and flexibility. As Dr Franco said of the project:
“These outcomes are very important in the management of everyday activities and better support the caregivers’ integration into the workforce. They also suggest more positive developmental forecasts also for the children.”
For Dr Coombes
“It was wonderful to hear from the parents themselves how much the project positively impacted them and their children. Music therapy offered the families a safe space to bond and grow together.”
Looking ahead the BNU film will be used as part of wider discussion at the 11 th Nordic Music Therapy conference this year in Denmark to help filmmakers as they navigate ethical concerns in filming such sensitive subject matter.

The Punk Rock Museum, Las Vegas: A Fact-Finding Expedition
Paul Fields Senior Lecturer, School of Creative and Digital Industries
The Punk Rock Museum opened in April 2023, and is a project led primarily by ‘Fat’ Mike Burkett of the punk band NOFX. Others closely involved in the museum include former manager of the popular Vans-sponsored Warped Tour Lisa Brownlee and Vinnie Fiorello of the ska punk band Less Than Jake. The aims of the Punk Rock Museum Archive are to gather and conduct peerreviewed research on punk in all its forms, and act as a primary source of knowledge on the history of punk.
Similarly, the aims of the Impact Centre project that funded this research trip were to collect documents, gather data, and speak with experts at what is the primary repository of punk documents in the world. This contributed both to the BNU-supported PhD
work of the researcher and to planned broader research into punk that will inform future projects. These types of research engage with a wider examination of how punk history and culture is communicated both to enthusiasts and a broader mainstream tourism audience, especially as these two target audiences have somewhat disparate conceptions of punk. Although there are other museums across the world that focus on or include punk, the vast and varied array of materials at the Las Vegas museum plus the high profile of its investors and the large amount of investment involved makes the museum an invaluable repository for punk researchers.
The data captured at the museum has led to two peer-reviewed academic publications and adeveloping collaborative relationship between the Punk Rock Museum and BNU, one example of which was the 10th Annual International Punk Scholars Network Conference and Postgraduate Symposium, held at BNU in December 2023 (see Conference Roundup, below).
Situated over two floors in a 12,000 square foot building, the museum is located in a relatively quiet spot in Las Vegas between Downtown and the Strip. Within the museum various portraits of punk musicians from across the genre’s history decorate the walls - each of which is accompanied by a quote - while the remainder of the downstairs area exhibits are laid out to present a chronology of punk, with display cases highlighting different eras of punk alongside other ephemera and collectibles. These cases feature gig flyers, stageworn clothes, instruments, ‘zines, original album artwork, record contracts, and a wide array of other accoutrements too extensive to list here. The museum also contains an ever-expanding library of books on punk, including books available to purchase as well as the other reference copies placed in various seating areas around the museum for guests to read.
Upstairs the museum arguably captures what Stewart Home, in 1995, described as the conflict between punk’s conflicting desires for novelty and for authenticity. Representing the authentic were a selection of temporary exhibitions by punk photographers –notably including work by filmmaker and photographer Angela Boatright’s in the form of a 26-item piece (Los Punks: The Backyard Punk Scenes in East Los Angeles and South Central, 2013–2016). Angela succeeds in capturing punk at its more grassroots level; photograph titles include, ‘Punk Shows off His Gun Unsolicited at 2am in South Central, Los Angeles’ and ‘Women Gathered Under a Tarp at a Backyard Show.’
On the more novelty end there is the Punk Rock Chapel, which consists of four rows of benches decorated with photos of the Sex Pistols bass player Sid Vicious and his partner Nancy Spungen alongside press clippings detailing their relationship and controversial deaths. The contrast between marriage and death is evident here; television screens at the front of the Chapel rotate through names of various prominent punks who have died while also promoting the Chapel’s ‘Get Married at the Punk Rock Museum’ service.
The Jam Room presents something seemingly not available at other music museums: the opportunity to
play instruments used by punk rock musicians both live or on record. This feels like a continuation of the erosion of the barrier between bands and audiences – something often found in punk – and the Jam Room includes instruments from notable artists such as Dropkick Murphys, Joan Jett, MXPX, NOFX, Pennywise, Rancid, Rise Against, Strung Out, T.S.O.L. and Wesley Willis, among others. What is clear is that the museum seeks to present punk in a way that appeals both to enthusiasts and tourists, which is likely essential to maintain itself as a going concern in the highly competitive tourism industry in Las Vegas.
A valuable outcome also came through the connections made during the visit, which have led to the author now sitting on the Executive Board of the Punk Foundation, a not-for-profit repository and knowledge exchange institute that sits alongside the Punk Rock Museum. This study was supported by the Impact Centre for the Enrichment of Culture and Identity.
Knowledge Exchange Research at BNU
BNU Alliance Fund
BNU’s Alliance Fund, specifically aimed at engaging external organizations, demonstrates our commitment to collaborative efforts in knowledge exchange. The projects launched through this fund each involve external partners, promoting collaboration between academia and industry and aligning with government priorities to enhance the overall sector contribution.
The funding provided for academic time and research assistant posts within both Impact Centre and Alliance Fund projects is crucial for the successful execution of research and knowledge exchange initiatives. This aligns with government priorities to support the research community and ensure the success of impactful projects. Several projects, such as “Using drone imaging and satellite imagery in sustainable crop control” and “ Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Education for emergency medical technicians,” directly contribute to addressing challenges exacerbated by the pandemic, supporting recovery efforts. The focus on technology, AI, and sustainable solutions aligns with government priorities for building back better and promoting innovation for economic recovery.
The BNU Alliance Fund has supported 14 innovative projects this year, enabling engagement and collaboration with reputable external partners in knowledge exchange activities. The BNU Alliance Fund support for these projects has facilitated the allocation of resources to cover academic time and research assistant posts, directly contributing to the success of these collaborative efforts.
Spotlight on KEVRI
The knowledge exchange online platform KEVRI is transforming how BNU staff engage in Knowledge Exchange (KE) activities. With 81 academics now registered and 35 KE projects logged, KEVRI is gaining momentum in amplifying collaborative efforts by providing a direct interface for our staff to record and organize their projects. The KEVRI platform translates KE and research plans and projects into compelling case studies in order to capture their impact and significance.
KEVRI also serves as an invaluable resource in providing data for the Knowledge Exchange Framework (KEF). Any activity contributing to the 7 perspectives of KEF - Intellectual Property (IP) & Commercialisation, Local Growth & Regeneration, Research Partnerships, Continuing Professional Development & Graduate Start-ups, Public and Community Engagement, as well as Collaborations with Businesses and the Public and Third Sector - can be logged onto the KEVRI platform.
At BNU our colleagues from the Civic Engagement Department have also recognized the value of KEVRI as a tool for tracking the impact of public and community engagement initiatives, and are now utilizing KEVRI to enhance their tracking of community interactions and measure the impact of their engagement efforts.
Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs)
KTPs are a government funded initiative that encourages business-university collaboration. Through a KTP businesses benefit from increased profitability, improved competitiveness and accelerated growth, while the university enjoy the benefits of demonstrating the impact of our knowledge and expertise in an industry setting. Partly funded by Innovate UK, the scheme has been in existence for nearly 50 years.
Our current KTP projects are listed below:
• Serious Brands & BNU School of Engineering: developing a new light engine
• Oasis Partnerships & BNU School of Business & Law: supporting a charity to generate sustainable income
We are proud to have two live KTPs and continue to engage with external partners to explore the potential for future KTP projects.
As we grow our ambitions relating to Knowledge Exchange, we are also pleased to share the School of Art, Design and Performance will be embarking on an Accelerated Knowledge Transfer Project with Foam Engineers, with the project commencing in March 2024. Partly funded by Innovate UK, this project will look at how the latest 3D technology can be applied to Foam Engineers’ manufacturing processes to enable innovative product design, support increased productivity, and assist in reducing the company’s impact to the environment.

Conferences
Paul Fields Senior Lecturer, School of Creative and Digital Industries
Punk Scholars Network 10th Annual Conference and Symposium
Organised by Paul Fields, The Punk Scholars Network (PSN) 10th Annual International Conference and Postgraduate Symposium took place at BNU on the 15th and 16th December 2023, with over eighty people attending the conference across the two days.
The PSN is a network comprising thousands of punk scholars and writers from regional groups across the world and is an international forum for academic and scholarly debate, conferences, publications, talks, and public exhibitions. Across the two days thirty presentations were delivered by a cosmopolitan group of presenters who had travelled from a number of international locations to give talks on all aspects of punk and scholarly endeavour.
The conference closed on Saturday evening with an interview with Tom Reiss, Chief Operating Officer of the Punk Rock Museum in Las Vegas. The conversation with Tom flowed beyond the conference well into the evening on the Saturday, and as a result there are some incredibly exciting plans for researchfocused collaboration and knowledge exchange between the Punk Scholars Network and the Punk Rock Museum in 2024 and beyond.
The livestreams of both Day One and Day Two of the conferences were recorded, and are currently available to stream.
Attendee feedback was positive, including:
‐ Dr Brigitta Davidjants, Researcher at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre: “It was really great to hear all the presentations. There are not many punk researchers in Estonia, just one other person and me, which is why this day was such a great experience.”
‐ Dr Russ Bestley, Reader in Graphic Design and Subcultures at the London College of Communication, University of the Arts, London: “This was such a fantastic conference. A great event with great speakers, great venue, regular coffee, and inspiring conversations with inspiring people.”
‐ Dr Paul Hollins, Professor of Cultural Research Development at the University of Bolton: “The conference was a very well designed and executed event that was, as always, a pleasure to attend. There was a good variety of thought-provoking papers and fantastic to see early career researchers contributing so much to the discourse.”
Conference roundups
Ruth Trout
Senior Lecturer, School of Nursing and Midwifery
Fiona Chalk
Senior Lecturer, School of Nursing and Midwifery
A Beginner’s Guide to Evidence-Based Practice in Health and Social Care
At the beginning of December BNU Senior Lecturers Ruth Trout and Fiona Chalk were invited to take part in a webinar discussion about the opportunities and challenges of implementing evidence-based practice (EBP). The event was organised by the publisher McGraw Hill and brought together authors who had written about EBP and its use within healthcare settings and academic work. The event was led by Helen Aveyard, a Principal Lecturer at Oxford Brookes University and a registered nurse who has presented and published widely on nursing ethics and health care research.
The event included a 30-minute discussion panel which defined EBP and how it relates to evidence informed practice, why evidence-based practice matters and how the barriers to evidence-based practice can be
overcome. There was also exploration of how to find and evaluate relevant information for supporting academic writing and practice interventions, along with some tips on how to implement evidencebased practice discussions into academic work and clinical practice.
122 people registered to attend the event, including Nurses, University Lecturers, Research Fellows and Researchers (including Doctoral Students), Programme Leads, Associate Professors and an Academic Subject Librarian. After the panel discussion a fifteen-minute Q&A session resulted in some lively debate about EBP and its application and allowed the listeners to explore and question the experts on topics which were personal and pertinent to their own practice.
A recording of the 45 minute webinar can be viewed here
Phil Woodbridge PhD Candidate, School of Human and Social Sciences
International Sport and Exercise Nutrition Conference 2023 C-ISENC23)
In December 2023 Phil attended the C-ISENC23 in Manchester - one of the leading international conferences for sports nutrition, with contributions from speakers from around the world. The 3-day conference had a program of invited speakers covering the latest scientific research and topics relating to the field, with a blend of high-profile world experts and young researchers highlighting their latest data and findings.
Phil presented a poster at the conference showcasing the findings from his first PhD study looking into the dietary intakes and nutrition knowledge of female football players. The poster generated a good level of discussion with the sports nutritionists attending, with interesting perspectives gained on the research and the findings presented. The results were also included in the abstract from the conference and will appear in the International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism (IJSNEM).
Other sessions included those on Measurement tools in performance nutrition, Determinants of food choices in athletes, and Does relative energy deficiency in sport (REDs) exist?. The last session proved particularly thought provoking, with experts questioning our current understanding and approach to the study of low energy availability (LEA). A new, more holistic, approach to supporting athlete’s health and performance was proposed which could have direct implications for Phil’s research and study design.
Ravinder Kaur
Postgraduate Research Student
16th annual International Conference of Education (ICERI2023), Research and Innovation Seville (Spain). 13th - 15th of November, 2023
In November 2023 Ravinder Kaur was able to attend the 16th annual International Conference of Education and was able to present on Blended/Adaptive learning pedagogies to support hands-on-practical learning process online in the HE Engineering sector. The presentation by Ravinder discussed how the Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in many institutions adopting blended learning practices – however many were not prepared and high quality guidance was not immediately available.
The presentation analysed how, in most cases, the physical classroom was crudely moved to an online format, with limited or no proper planning – something of key relevance to Engineering courses in Higher Education (HE), which are hugely practical, with switching to an online emphasis presenting challenges for delivery and potentially disadvantaging some students. The presentation focused on presenting a review of the existing literature on flexible learning pedagogies that support the online learning of practical and experimental skills, and highlighted the areas of opportunity for further research.
