SUMMARY:Living with the Wire
DESCRIPTION:Civilian Internment on the Isle of Man During the First World War\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPen and ink view of the Isle of Man internment camp with German captions\n\n\n\nAbout the October Forum \n\n\n\nMention of the First World War will immediately evoke for many people images of trenches\, battle-weary soldiers and poppies. A far less likely image to be evoked is one of thousands of German and Austrian civilians\, of all ages and classes\, incarcerated behind barbed wire on an island in the middle of the Irish Sea. This though was the reality of war for many of the Germans and Austrians living (or even visiting) Britain in the summer of 1914. The internment of civilian ‘enemy aliens’\, most of whom spent some or all of their internment on the Isle of Man\, might easily have become a lost footnote in the history of the First World War. Interest though has grown over the years\, for academics\, local historians and the families of those interned. This talk will look at who some of these internees were and how they lived and coped with ‘living with the wire’ for anything up to 5 years in captivity. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter\n\n\n\nYvonne M. Cresswell retired as Curator: Social History at Manx National Heritage (the Island’s national heritage service) in 2021 after 34 years\, where she curated the social history collections & National Art Collection. Civilian internment during the two world wars has been a major research topic for most of her career\, starting with the exhibition and publication ‘Living with the Wire’ in 1994. Several years spent studying at Leicester University (historical geography\, English Local History & Museum Studies) provided the perfect training for her local history work\, including civilian internment\, on the Isle of Man. \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nThis session will take place via video conference. Please register below. \n\n\n\nAccess details will be sent on the day via Eventbrite to people who have registered.  \n\n\n\nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/civilian-internment-on-the-isle-of-man-during-the-first-world-war-tickets-427822587877\n\n\n\nAbout Vaughan Open Research Forum\n\n\n\nVaughan Open Research Forum is series of talks\, workshops and interactive sessions which are open to anyone who is curious and wants to find out more. \n\n\n\nThemes for sessions relate to our core teaching topics\, arts\, humanities\, social sciences and counselling\, and also discuss adult education and co-operative issues.

SUMMARY:The Midas touch - be careful what you wish for
DESCRIPTION:A special Vaughan Open Research Forum for the annual Cooperative Fortnight\n\n\n\nThe Forum addresses why business and organisational studies are so neglected by universities and other education institutions.

SUMMARY:How to Write Fiction with Dr David Wharton
DESCRIPTION:Register Now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10-week Part-time Creative Writing Course\n\n\n\nDo you have a novel in you that’s bursting to be written? Not sure where or how to start? \n\n\n\nHow to Write Fiction is a 10-week online creative writing course covering approaches and techniques for short stories\, novellas and novels. This course is suitable for those who hope to achieve publication and for those who simply enjoy writing as a leisure pursuit. \n\n\n\nGuided Creative Writing\n\n\n\nYou’ll be guided through the key elements of fiction: character\, situation\, setting\, story\, plot and prose style. Practical exercises will help you reflect on material from the classes and apply them to your own writing. We will also consider broader issues such as research techniques\, the challenge of redrafting\, sustaining a long writing project and overcoming writer’s block. \n\n\n\nPlease note that this course is closely focussed on prose fiction and doesn’t cover playwriting\, screenwriting or poetry. However\, if you’re looking to write a creative nonfiction project\, such as an autobiography or memoir\, you may still find it valuable. \n\n\n\nDuring the course\, you’ll also have opportunities (if you wish) to share and discuss your work in supportive group critique sessions with other students and the tutor. \n\n\n\nAbout the Tutor: Dr David Wharton\n\n\n\nI started writing fiction on a course very like this one. It changed my life\, leading to a PhD in Creative Writing\, and the publication of my debut\, Finer Things – one of the “best crime books of 2019” (Sarah Hughes\, i newspaper). I’m now finishing off my third novel. As a writer\, I’m still learning all the time\, and I’m really looking forward to sharing that knowledge with students. David Wharton\n\n\n\nAs well as writing fiction\, David brings considerable teaching skills to the course. He was previously an English teacher with twenty years experience in schools\, colleges\, and adult education. He has taught Creative Writing in various contexts. Currently\, he works as a lecturer in education studies at the University of Leicester.  \n\n\n\nDavid’s acclaimed first novel\, Finer Things (Sandstone Press\, 2019)\, drew together the disparate worlds of Art School Bohemia and East End crime in early 1960s London. He is currently completing his second novel\, the story of a short-lived and unsuccessful indie band. \n\n\n\nCourse Themes\n\n\n\nBecause students’ interests and backgrounds vary\, the tutor will take a flexible approach responding to the group’s needs. However\, the basic course outline is: \n\n\n\nBeing (or becoming) a writer; working with your imaginationTurning situations into storiesBuilding believable charactersWriters’ workshop 1Settings\, world-building and researchStory structure and plotWriters’ workshop 2Writing prose – words\, sentences\, paragraphsApproaches to editing and redraftingHow to reach readers/publication\n\n\n\nTimes & Dates\n\n\n\nThe course will be held on Tuesday evenings between 18.30 and 20.00 over 10 sessions. It will be taught online over Zoom rather than face to face. If you would like to take this course but cannot do it at this time\, please let us know. \n\n\n\nPart-time Course Schedule: Term 1\n\n\n\nWeek 1: Tuesday 23 FebWeek 2: Tuesday 2 MarWeek 3: Tuesday 9 MarWeek 4: Tuesday 16 MarWeek 5: Tuesday 23 Mar2 Week Easter Break\n\n\n\nPart-time Course Schedule: Term 2\n\n\n\nWeek 6: Tuesday 13 Apr Week 7: Tuesday 20 Apr Week 8: Tuesday 27 Apr Week 9: Tuesday 4 MayWeek 10: Tuesday 11 May\n\n\n\nCreative Writing Resources\n\n\n\nThere are no set texts. You will be given a reading list\, recommending books of interest to support your development as a writer\, but no purchase of additional resources is required. \n\n\n\nCourse Assessment and Entrance Requirements\n\n\n\nThere are no entrance requirements. No prior study of writing or of literature is expected. If you are interested in writing fiction and (most importantly) enjoy reading fiction regularly\, you should find this course suits you. \n\n\n\nThere are no transferrable credits and no mandatory assessments. At the end of the course you may submit one piece of writing (up to 1000 words)\, for detailed critical feedback from the tutor.

SUMMARY:Resonances and Representations: Aspects of The English Country House
DESCRIPTION:About this Course\n\n\n\nResonances and Representations: Aspects of The English Country House is a 10 week online course covering the politics of heritage and the struggle to save these historic houses. \n\n\n\nThe English country house is a curious phenomenon: large monuments to enormous concentrations of wealth and rigid class structures somehow remain enormously popular in the twentieth-first century. Large numbers of visitors crowd out these monuments to someone else’s taste and wealth on every sunny bank holiday.  \n\n\n\nThe fundamental approach we will take is to consider the country house from the perspective of how they are represented and used in the twenty-first century. All the details are to be agreed amongst the class\, but we have the opportunity to look at some wildly and enduringly popular representations: the opulence of Downton Abbey enjoyed by millions\, and the nostalgic world of Brideshead Revisited which has delighted for generations.  \n\n\n\nWe will consider the politics of heritage and the struggle to save these houses. How\, and what\, history is presented to us\, the public? Which histories are kept hidden?  We will particularly look at how houses have presented uncomfortable pasts: questions of race\, imperialism and the slave trade; the backbreaking work of labourers and servants who worked to make such splendour possible.  Underpinning this\, there will be a chronological overview to provide a background narrative of the development\, decline and renewal of the country house over a 400 year period. \n\n\n\nSession Themes\n\n\n\nDetails above give a taste of what we might consider\, but as our approach will be co-operative\, we will respond to the things which interest members of the group\, as well as covering core ground to give you a balanced understanding.  \n\n\n\nCome armed with questions and ideas. In our first session\, we begin by focusing on a simple question: what is a country house? We will then agree our plan for the rest of the module\, sketch out the questions we want to ask and establish our parameters. This will include agreement about how students would like to contribute to sessions. It will also be a chance to get to know each other a bit.   \n\n\n\nThe proposed course outline is: \n\n\n\nWhat is a country house?Survey I: development to 1750Landscapes and gardensSurvey II: 1750-1870Country house librariesSurvey III: 1870-1945 + Representations: Brideshead revisitedRepresentations: Upstairs/downstairsSurvey IV: 1945-presentDecolonizing the country house: race\, slavery\, empirePreservation and public history\n\n\n\nTimes & Dates\n\n\n\nThe course will be held on a Monday evening over 10 sessions. It will taught online rather than face to face. If you would like to take this course but cannot do it at this time\, please let us know. \n\n\n\nNovember 2020Monday 30-Nov6:30pm – 8:00pm GMTDecember 2020Monday 07-Dec6:30pm – 8:00pm GMTMonday 14-Dec6:30pm – 8:00pm GMTJanuary 2021Monday 11-Jan6:30pm – 8:00pm GMTMonday 18-Jan6:30pm – 8:00pm GMTMonday 25-Jan6:30pm – 8:00pm GMTFebruary 2021Monday 01-Feb6:30pm – 8:00pm GMTMonday 08-Feb6:30pm – 8:00pm GMTMonday 15-Feb6:30pm – 8:00pm GMTMonday 22-Feb6:30pm – 8:00pm GMT\n\n\n\nResources\n\n\n\nIt will be taught without library access\, so we will use different approaches to source material.  \n\n\n\nYou will need to buy a copy of Mark Girouard’s Life in the English country house (any edition); second-hand ones can be obtained for a few pounds.  We will identify reading material online.We’ll use online sources\, such as country house websites. Sessions will be interactive and used mixed learning methods. Typically these means a short lecture\, some tutorial discussion of certain questions\, and quick presentations about individual country houses from learners. \n\n\n\nAssessment and Entrance Requirements\n\n\n\nThere are no entrance requirements for this\, other than being interested in the topic. It will be taught at the equivalent of the first year of a degree programme\, so it should be possible for anyone to benefit from it.  \n\n\n\nIt carries no credits\, and there are no mandatory assessments. You will be welcome to write an essay or complete some other assignment and receive feedback if you wish.  \n\n\n\nField Trip\n\n\n\nWe will attempt some kind of visit to a Country House. Many houses close in winter months\, which may limit our choices. The current situation means this will look very different to conventional trips\, for example you might go individually and report back.  \n\n\n\nOur approach might be to do with the exterior and grounds or using google earth. It will be subject to a risk assessment approved by Leicester Vaughan College to ensure safety for all. \n\n\n\nAbout the Tutor\n\n\n\nDr Malcolm Noble is a social and economic historian. He has taught the history of the English country house and public history in a range of contexts. One of his research interests is about country house opera as a kind of public history\, in economic rather than musical terms. \n\n\n\nRegistrations Now Closed\n\n\n\nTo hear about the next session of this course\, please join our mailing list using the form on this page.

SUMMARY:The History of The Book Workshop - Jun 2019
DESCRIPTION:Lead Tutors: Malcolm Noble and Miriam Gill\nCourse Description\nIn how many different ways can you we read a book? Or to put it another way\, what do the physical characteristics of books and other printed materials tell us about the society and cultures in which they are produced? \nTogether we will consider some of the answers these questions in terms of how we can study books as physical objects. Our focus will be on the technical aspects of how books are written\, designed\, typeset\, printed\, distributed\, and circulated\, rather than on more literary approaches to their contents. \nScholars joining this workshop will gain a basic understanding of descriptive bibliography so that they can consider historic books as physical objects\, understanding how to find clues as to their production\, and how to use this information as a basis for further research. \nThis workshop will give scholars insights into this approach to studying the history of the book\, which they may choose to follow up on a longer module. During the one-day workshop students will be invited to participate in the design of this longer course. Finally\, we will briefly consider the future of the book and the publishing industry. \nScholars are invited to bring with them a book from home which is of some interest or significance to them. \nThis course is non-accredited but taught at FHEQ level 4/ Higher Education level 1: this is the same level as the first year of a degree. \nPlease note that a minimum of 10 students are required to run the workshop sessions. \nConcessions: we are able to offer a limited number of places at concession rates for those on benefits or under the tax threshold. Please contact us using the contact form for more information. \n
