SUMMARY:March Forum
DESCRIPTION:Cricket Country: Sport and the idea of India in the Age of Empire\n\n\n\n\n\nFront cover of Prashant Kidambi’s book.\n\n\n\nAbout March’s Forum\n\n\n\nPresented by Dr Prashant Kidambi\n\n\n\nPrashant’s book Cricket Country is the untold story of how the idea of India was fashioned on the cricket pitch in the high noon of empire. Conceived by an unlikely coalition of imperial and Indian elites\, it took twelve years and three failed attempts before an ‘Indian’ cricket team made its debut on the playing fields of imperial Britain in the blazing coronation summer of 1911. This is a capacious tale with an improbable cast of characters set against the backdrop of revolutionary protest and princely intrigue. Prashant talk will highlight key episodes in this extraordinary story. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThere will be tea and coffee from 6pm and the talk will start at 6.15pm. The Forum will be held at the Leicester Adult Education College\, 54 Belvoir Street. \n\n\n\nmmmmmmm \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter\n\n\n\nPrashant Kidambi is associate professor of colonial urban history at the University of Leicester. After completing postgraduate degrees in history at the Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi\, he was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship to pursue a doctorate at the University of Oxford. Prashant’s research explores the interface between British imperialism and the history of modern South Asia. He is the author of The Making of an Indian Metropolis: Colonial Governance and Public Culture in Bombay\, 1890-1920 and the lead editor of Bombay Before Mumbai: Essays in Honour of Jim Masselos. \n\n\n\nAbout the Vaughan Open Research Forums\n\n\n\nThe forums are a 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.  The Forums usually take place on the second Thursday of the month. \n\n\n\nHow to register for this event\n\n\n\nThis is a free event but it would help us with catering if you register in advance. \n\n\n\nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/cricket-country-sport-and-the-idea-of-india-in-the-age-of-empire-tickets-541126723597

SUMMARY:February Forum
DESCRIPTION:Was knowledge power? Reflections on exhibiting a history of adult education\n\n\n\n\n\nPoster for the Exhibition ‘Knowledge is Power’\n\n\n\nAbout the February Forum\n\n\n\nPresented by Professor John Holford\n\n\n\nProfessor John Holford will be talking about the exhibition ‘Knowledge is Power: Class\, Community and Adult Education’ which is running until 12 March at the Weston Gallery\, Lakeside Arts\, Nottingham.  The exhibition looks at the history of adult education at Nottingham University.   \n\n\n\nNottingham University College (which became Nottingham University in 1948) opened its adult education department in 1920 – the first adult education department in Britain. Like Vaughan College\, Nottingham’s adult education department had a substantial impact on its region working with unions\, employers\, local councils and voluntary organisations. It also had a role in the development of various well-known local societies.  John will be talking about the importance of this sister organisation to Vaughan College and consider the extent to which knowledge was (and still is?) power.  \n\n\n\nYou can see an introductory video on the exhibition by John on the exhibition webpage which also has further information and sources on Nottingham’s adult education department.  \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter\n\n\n\nProfessor John Holford has held the Robert Peers Chair in Adult Education since 2007. His main research area has been the role of lifelong education in the formation of citizens\, communities and social movements.  John is also the Co-ordinator of the Horizon 2020 research project\, ENLIVEN (Encouraging Lifelong Learning for an Inclusive & Vibrant Europe: 2016-2019). He has been a partner in several previous EU research projects.  You can read more about him on his university webpage. \n\n\n\nAbout the Vaughan Open Research Forum\n\n\n\nVaughan Open Research Forum is a 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 \n\n\n\nHow to register for this event\n\n\n\nThis is an online event taking place via Zoom Conferencing.

SUMMARY:November forum: The Universities Partnership in Leicestershire: ambitions and next steps in education for all
DESCRIPTION:This is a free online event. Register to receive link details. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout the November Forum presented by Fi Donovan (De Montfort University)\n\n\n\nWhat is the Universities Partnership and what does it mean for higher education and the ‘civic university’?\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThis forum will interest those who want to find out more about the activities and aims of the Universities Partnership in Leicestershire.  It will also appeal to those who are interested more broadly in the concept of the ‘civic university’ and its role in promoting widening participation and reawakening adult education within the university sector. \n\n\n\nIn June 2022 the three Universities in Leicestershire joined with local government to form the Universities Partnership (https://universitiespartnership.org/). Such local partnerships are a central element in the strategy of the Civic Universities Network (https://civicuniversitynetwork.co.uk/)\, a national organisation founded in response to the exploration  by the Civic University Commission chaired by Lord Kerslake (2018-9). This important Commission examined what it means to be a Civic University in the 21st Century and its first publication was a progress paper focussed on reigniting adult education in the UK. \n\n\n\nFi Donavan (De Montfort University) will lead the session. She will present the overarching actions which have been undertaken as part of the Civic University Agreement since its formation. She will also signpost how to get involved in the partnership.  \n\n\n\nAbout the presenter\n\n\n\nFi Donovan is Head of Engagement & Partnerships at De Montfort University and her institution’s lead for the education strand of the local Universities Partnership.  \n\n\n\nAbout the Vaughan Open Research Forums\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: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. It considers how such narrow thinking has taken over most aspects of our society and why this is a problem. \n\n\n\nThe Forum will draw on Aristotle\, Karl Marx\, Karl Polanyi\, E.F.Schumacher and Amartya Sen to discuss the difference between exchange and use values\, socially disembedded and socially embedded markets. It examines how we might create the conditions for human and planetary flourishing. \n\n\n\nAbout the speaker\n\n\n\nMaureen McCulloch is a senior lecturer in Accounting in the Business School\, Oxford Brookes University. She specialises in researching cooperatives and the not-for-profit sector. She spent 25 years working as a finance director\, trainer and advisor to charities mainly in the creative sector after qualifying as a chartered accountant. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nClick this link to sign up via Eventbrite.

SUMMARY:Dropped from Hell to Heaven: Internment in Switzerland during the First World War.
DESCRIPTION:About the April Forum \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nPresented by Dr Susan Barton\n\n\n\nMost histories of the First World War rightly focus on the tragedy\, horrific conditions and appalling loss of life. Stories of internment usually discuss the hostility that turned neighbours into enemy aliens to be locked away. This paper will focus on a more positive aspect of the wartime experience for prisoners of war who had already been through the hell of battle\, wounding and incarceration – humanitarian internment in neutral Switzerland. Thousands of sick and wounded POWs from Britain\, France\, Belgium and Germany were sent to Switzerland from 1916\, where they were warmly welcomed by the Swiss. There they could lead relatively free lives\, with medical care\, education\, training or employment. Internees were able to enjoy leisure and sporting activities\, form new relationships or have visits from wives\, girlfriends and family. For the Swiss\, internment helped preserve its neutrality\, kept borders open for essential supplies\, strengthened national identities and contributed to the economy by alleviating labour shortages and helping the hotel trade stay afloat as owners struggled to repay loans used to expand the tourism industry in the boom years of the early twentieth century. \n\n\n\nAbout the presenter\n\n\n\nDr Susan Barton is an honorary fellow at De Montfort University\, Leicester.  She is the author of several books and articles\, including The working class and the development of popular tourism (Manchester University Press\,  2005)\, Healthy Living in the Alps: sanatoria and the origins of winter sports tourism in Switzerland\, 1860-1914 ( Manchester University Press\, 2008) and most recently Park to Parks: the story of New Parks\, Western Park\, Braunstone Frith and Kirby Frith (2021).  She is also a Leicester City councillor.  \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. The Vaughan Open Research Forums take place on the second Thursday of the month. \n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/internment-in-switzerland-during-the-first-world-tickets-294926843127

SUMMARY:Networking in the past: funerary networks in central Italy in the first millennium BC
DESCRIPTION:About the March Forum \n\n\n\nPresented by Dr Ulla Rajala\, Stockholm University\, Sweden\n\n\n\n\n\nConnectivity is one of the most fashionable buzzwords in recent archaeological and historical research. Social Network Analysis (SNA) and Agent Network Theory (ANT) are applied in different research projects across the fields. The aim of this talk is two-fold: firstly\, to present the different types of network research and explain the basic concepts and their applications in different fields; and secondly\, to present my own archaeological research in central Italy. \n\n\n\nThe study of the main cemetery areas will show the changing social networks from the Early Iron Age to the end of the Hellenistic period. I will look at the tomb types in different communities along the Tyrrhenian and Adriatic Seas and in the Apennines and how this category of evidence can tell us about identities and a sense of belonging to different social and political networks. I will discuss the burial grounds in southern Etruria\, Latium\, Umbria\, Campania\, Samnium and Picenum in order to study the relative closeness and distance reflected in the regional and supra-regional networks. I will explore the effects of the cultural change in relation to the expansion of the Roman state. \n\n\n\nAbout the presenter\n\n\n\nDr Ulla Rajala is an archaeologist affiliated with Stockholm University\, Sweden\, but living with her family in Leicester.

SUMMARY:Putting History on the TV and the Radio
DESCRIPTION:Still from the ‘Re-enactment history’  TV show\, ‘Full Steam Ahead’. \n\n\n\nAbout the December Forum \n\n\n\nPresented by: Dr Chris A. Williams\n\n\n\nCompared to other academic disciplines\, History gets a lot of prime time TV and radio time. It’s consistently popular\, but what are the effects of the compromises needed to keep the viewers and listeners happy? And what about the fashions and trends among the most powerful people you’ve never heard of\, the commissioners? ‘History on the box’ comes in a variety of different genres\, and each of these has its advantages and disadvantages. This talk will discuss a few of these\, and give you an opportunity to think and talk about when\, and how\, history has been broadcast well\, or broadcast badly.  \n\n\n\nAbout the speaker\n\n\n\nChris A. Williams is a historian at the Open University. He’s worked as Media Fellow responsible for advising and liaison between the OU and BBC for all their co-productions in Arts. He also originated the BBC Radio 4 / OU series ‘The Things We Forgot To Remember’\, the format of which was agreed at a meeting in the Marquis of Wellington pub on the London Road in Leicester. \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:Not Just a Pretty Picture: Art as a Historical Source
DESCRIPTION:About the November Forum\n\n\n\nPresented by:  Yvonne M. Cresswell\n\n\n\nArt galleries are full of artwork appreciated for their great artistic and aesthetic qualities\, but what about the local art collection? Works by local artists and of local scenes (even if considered good enough to display) are often tucked away in a side room\, unloved and unappreciated. Local art collections are frequently a much underrated and underutilised historical source. This talk will look at the different ways that artwork can be used in local history research and will provide an opportunity to look beyond the ‘pretty picture’. Even really bad paintings can provide a wealth of historical information and detail that may not be found anywhere else. \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Yvonne M. Cresswell has recently retired as Curator: Social History at Manx National Heritage (the Island’s national heritage service) after 34 years\, where she curated the social history collections & National Art Collection. Several years spent studying at Leicester University (historical geography\, English Local History & Museum Studies) provided the perfect training for her local history work on the Isle of Man. \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:Tackling Racial Inequalities in Higher Education (Rescheduled from May)
DESCRIPTION:Register\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the October Forum\n\n\n\nPresented by: Dr Anil Awesti\n\n\n\nVarious reports on student attainment and experience in Higher Education (HE) have shown a clear and substantial difference in the attainment\, progression and overall experience of students who identify as Black\, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) compared to those who identify as White.  \n\n\n\nThere is now wide acceptance across research that the disparity in outcome and experience is the direct result of practices and processes within the University itself that disadvantage specific communities of BAME students. One specific area of concern has been the way teaching practice\, content and environment contributes negatively to BAME student experience and attainment.  \n\n\n\nIn this session\, Dr Anil Awesti will analyse the reasons for the BAME attainment/awarding and experience gaps and\, reflecting on his own research and practice in this area\, how institutional racism in HE can be tackled. \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter\n\n\n\nAnil Awesti is Senior Teaching Fellow\, Centre for Lifelong Learning at the University of Warwick. His research interests are in Widening Participation to Higher Education\, in particular issues of access\, participation\, retention\, and progression of students from ‘non-traditional’ backgrounds in universities. \n\n\n\nRead more about Dr Anil Awesti  on the University of Warwick website. \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 Lost Story of Part-time Higher Education
DESCRIPTION:Register\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the June Forum\n\n\n\nPresented by: Adam Matthews\n\n\n\nIn an environment dominated by flexible access to all manner of products and services afforded by digital technologies where a taxi\, a film and the latest news is at the tap of an app\, why then are part-time flexible undergraduate students in decline? There are some obvious answers: the raising of tuition fees and the equivalent or lower qualification policy.  \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Adam Matthews will look at several other perspectives as to why access to a part-time undergraduate degree may be in decline. Focusing on a recent study in which Adam and Dr Ben Kotzee analysed UK undergraduate prospectuses to look at how universities themselves promoted part-time options\, this talk will look at the more discursive construction and promotion of ‘part-time’.  \n\n\n\nGoing beyond numbers and policy Adam will explore the popular culture high point of part-time in the 1960s and 70s and discuss some of the more recent digital education flexible study options such as MOOCs and microcredentials. \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter\n\n\n\nDoctoral researcher\, University of Birmingham. \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:Body Positivity: A History of a (Once) Radical Movement
DESCRIPTION:Register\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the March Forum\n\n\n\nPresented by: Dr Gemma Gibson\n\n\n\nBody positivity has become popularised in the mainstream media in recent years. It is being used to sell everything from face cream to wellness programmes and the cultural phenomenon it has become is drawing the attention of researchers from a multitude of disciplines and contexts.  \n\n\n\nBut\, how do you research a community and movement that you have been a part of and perhaps even helped popularise?

SUMMARY:The Class Politics of Foundation Years
DESCRIPTION:Download Event Presentation SlidesDownload\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the February Forum\n\n\n\nPresented by: Dr Sarah Hale MEd\, SFHEA\n\n\n\nIn recent years\, particularly since the decline of part-time\, evening and open-access provision\, foundation years have become a significant route into higher education for people from working class backgrounds. We know from decades of research that working class students face a range of obstacles and challenges at university. Sarah Hale’s research explored how foundation year practitioners perceive and frame these\, and considered the implications that this might have for working class inclusion in higher education. \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter\n\n\n\nSarah Hale began her first degree\, in Politics\, as a twenty-nine year old single parent\, and has spent most of her career working with mature\, part-time\, and ‘non-traditional’ students. In 2012\, after five years in the Faculty of Lifelong Learning at Birkbeck\, she joined the University of Sheffield’s Institute for Lifelong Learning – shortly before it\, too\, ceased to offer evening and open-access provision. Since 2014 she has been Programme Director for the University of Sheffield’s integrated foundation years\, which prepare students without Level 3 qualifications for forty different degree programmes. \n\n\n\nFind out more about Dr Sarah Hale at the University of Sheffield website. \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:Looking Forward: What are the Prospects for Lifelong Learning after the Pandemic?
DESCRIPTION:Due to social distancing measures\, this session will take place via video conference. The video conference will run from 6 pm – 7:30 pm. Details will be sent on the day to people who have registered via Eventbrite.  \n\n\n\nAbout the January Forum\n\n\n\nPresented by: Professor John Field\n\n\n\nWe’ve been through extraordinary times. The last twelve months have witnessed extraordinary disruptions to our everyday lives as we adjusted to the global pandemic. We should not forget that the year also saw a remarkable series of policy discussion around adult learning and continuing education\, all of which acknowledged that further and adult education were (a) vital to our well-being and prosperity and (b) massively underfunded. \n\n\n\nSo what happens next? This session will consider the prospects for lifelong learning as we move into a post-pandemic world. In particular we will discuss four ‘big change factors’ that are likely to shape the development of lifelong learning. These are: \n\n\n\nthe experience of the pandemic itself\, which stimulated a marked rise in adult education participation\, and will also led inexorably to rising unemployment;the demand for adult skills will change as a result of Brexit;UK productivity\, which has historically lagged behind its main competitors\, will be increasingly visible as trade patterns shift; and climate change\, which is proving a ‘wicked problem’ for democratic governments in particular.\n\n\n\nPolicy will also matter\, and 2021 should finally see the publication of the Government’s much-delayed White Paper on further education. But these ‘big four change factors’ are largely outside the control of government\, as are the likely behaviours of learners. \n\n\n\nThe presenter argues that these tendencies point to a probable bright future for lifelong learning in the short to medium term\, but not necessarily lifelong learning as we have known it in the past. To what extent does this bring new opportunities for those who hope for a broad and generous approach to adult learning? \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter\n\n\n\nProfessor John Field is Emeritus Professor of Education at Stirling University. He has a long-standing background of interest and involvement in lifelong learning. Recent publications include edited collections on Mental Capital and Wellbeing and Researching Transitions in Lifelong Learning.  \n\n\n\nFind out more about Professor Field on the Stirling University website.

SUMMARY:Medieval Towns in the Modern Age
DESCRIPTION:Due to social distancing measures\, this session will take place via video conference. The video conference will run from 6 pm – 7:30 pm. Details will be sent on the day to people who have registered via Eventbrite.  \n\n\n\nAbout the December Forum\n\n\n\nPresented by Deirdre O’Sullivan (Archaeology\, University of Leicester) \n\n\n\nCoventry Guildhall\n\n\n\nIn the 21st century the phrase ‘our urban heritage’ invites questions at many levels\, not just about who is ‘our’ and what is ‘heritage’ but also about the role of  expert voices\, community groups and individuals  in determining what is valued and conserved for the future – and what is not.  \n\n\n\nThis seminar will explore the values that are often linked to medieval buildings and below-ground archaeology in urban stories\, and what this holds for the future of our  townscapes\, drawing principally on Leicester and Coventry\, but with some broader analogies. \n\n\n\nAbout This Month’s Presenter\n\n\n\nDeirdre O’Sullivan is a Lecturer in Archaeology in the School of Archaeology and Ancient History. She has previously worked as a field archaeologist and as a post-excavation researcher at Durham and St Andrews.

SUMMARY:Poetry and the Adult Student
DESCRIPTION:Supporting information for Poetry and the Adult StudentDownload Handout\n\n\n\n\n\nDue to social distancing measures\, this session will take place via video conference. The video conference will run from 6 pm – 7:30 pm. Details will be sent on the day to people who have registered via Eventbrite.  \n\n\n\nAbout the November Forum\n\n\n\nPresented by Professor Bill Jones \n\n\n\nLiterature is a highly popular discipline on the adult learning curriculum. This forum will focus on poetry. It could be argued that critical appreciation is achieved in a collaboration of the poet who provides the text and the student who brings their lived experience to create a unique understanding. But it’s not unusual for an adult student to say\, ‘Not for me; I had enough poetry at school’\, or (as has happened) ‘Wordsworth? Not those daffodils. If you’re doing that next week I’m not coming. I had enough of that at school’. Yet another\, often older\, student may recall learning quite long poems at school\, reciting them with a pleasure which has lasted for decades. \n\n\n\nIn this forum we will look at approaches to teaching poetry to adult learners. What makes for a fulfilling learning experience? Is poetry ‘wasted on the young’? We will discuss with examples of texts. \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:Urban Thrills? People's experiences of British city and town centres\, 1930s-1970s
DESCRIPTION:Due to social distancing measures\, this session will take place via video conference. The video conference will run from 6 pm – 7:30 pm. Details will be sent on the day to people who have registered via Eventbrite.  \nAbout the July Forum\nDr Denise McHugh (Open University) and Dr Lucy Faire (Leicester Vaughan College) \nThe middle of the twentieth century was a time when town and city centres were re-planned and redeveloped. The history of urban centres during this period has been written from the perspectives of planners rather than focusing on the lived experience of ordinary people. Our research turns this traditional approach upside down and instead asks: \n\nHow did ordinary people experience the changes to their town or city centre?\nWhat impact did the changes have on them and how did they adapt to these changes?\n\nWe believe that it is important to understand how people used these urban spaces and what they felt about them in the context of today’s concerns about our failing high streets and unloved town and city centres. \nTo do this research we use a range of sources including more unusual ones such social media sites and forums which provide a real insight into what people remember most vividly about their town or city centre and how they felt about them. We focus our work around the ‘everyday’ so we aren’t looking at unusual events such festivals or parades. We’re interested in how people encountered change within a normalised experience like the weekly shop or the journey to work. \nIn this session we look particularly at the innovations experienced in the city or town centre. City centres were important spaces to experience play and novelty. People responded to new developments like shopping centres and unfamiliar technologies such as escalators and vending machines in different ways according to their age\, gender\, race\, ethnicity\, class and life stage. \nNew developments and changes could impact on people’s sense of belonging or feeling comfortable in the city so we would like the Vaughan Forum to help us to explore and understand these experiences and feelings about town and city centres. \nAbout Vaughan Open Research Forum\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. \nThemes for sessions relate to our core teaching topics\, arts\, humanities\, social sciences and counselling\, and also discuss adult education and co-operative issues. The Vaughan Open Research Forums take place on the second Thursday of the month. \nDue to social distancing measures\, this session will take place via video conference. The video conference will run from 6 pm – 7:30 pm. Details will be sent on the day to people who have registered via Eventbrite.

SUMMARY:Higher Education Policy and the Robbins Report (1961-1963)
DESCRIPTION:Due to social distancing measures\, this session will take place via video conference. The video conference will run from 6 pm – 7:30 pm. Details will be sent on the day to people who have registered via Eventbrite.  \nDownload Supporting Materials\nJosh has kindly put together some supporting materials and extracts which he will refer to in his presentation. If you would like to read these ahead of the session\, please download the PDF here. \nAbout the June Forum\nOur June Open Research Forum is presented by Josh Patel\, University of Warwick. \nThe expansion of higher education following the ‘Robbins Report’ (1963) is rightly regarded as a premier achievement of the welfare state. However\, a rereading the report illuminates hints of a pervasive liberal economic thought throughout the Report. \nThe results of the ‘flow survey’ of 21-year-olds in 1961 by the Report by the Committee on Higher Education (1961-63) described the educational experience of one cohort of children born 1940-41. \nThe survey detailed the vast numbers of promising women and ‘lower-class’ young people who did not yet have access to higher education opportunities in Britain due to their socio-economic backgrounds. Wielding this evidence\, the report dismissed ‘elitist’ arguments\, including W. D. Furneaux’s (1961) research\, which argued only a ‘Chosen Few’ might benefit from Higher Education. \nThe results ended most opposition to the idea of an expansive ‘pool of ability’. The survey has been heralded as a premier achievement of the welfare state. \nJosh argues that liberal economics – not often seen as an ally of welfarism – heavily influenced the form and application of the ‘flow survey’. The political philosophies of welfarism and liberalism mutually supported one another in the report’s recommendations. \nAbout Vaughan Open Research Forum\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. \nThemes for sessions relate to our core teaching topics\, arts\, humanities\, social sciences and counselling\, and also discuss adult education and co-operative issues.  The Vaughan Open Research Forums take place on the second Thursday of the month. \nDue to social distancing measures\, this session will take place via video conference.

SUMMARY:The Lost Ideas of 19th-Century Radical Socialist Education
DESCRIPTION:The Lost Ideas of 19th-Century Radical Socialist Education:\nFrom “Human Nature” to Culture-Building\nDue to social distancing measures\, this session will take place via video conference. The video conference will run from 6 pm – 7:30 pm. Details will be sent on the day to people who have registered via Eventbrite.  \nOur May Open Research Forum is on the topic of Co-operative Character and will be presented by Yaron Golan\, Manchester Metropolitan University. \nEarly Co-operators were among the first in Britain to articulate a science of human nature and a developmental psychology\, and extrapolate pedagogical practices form them. Some of their ideas were uniquely radical\, challenging the orthodoxy of the day\, which viewed human beings as essentially self-interested at best\, or at worst innately wicked and in need of disciplining. \nYaron will be talking about what some of these lost ideas can help us rethink current hegemonic views of human nature and economic theories\, as well as discussing the more problematic aspects of these old ideas and the need to reinvent them. \nRSVP on Eventbrite today >> \nAbout Vaughan Open Research Forum\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. \nThemes for sessions relate to our core teaching topics\, arts\, humanities\, social sciences and counselling\, and also discuss adult education and co-operative issues.  The Vaughan Open Research Forums take place on the second Thursday of the month. \nDue to social distancing measures\, this session will take place via video conference.

SUMMARY:Bodice-rippers and Chained Books: The History of the Book
DESCRIPTION:Bodice-rippers and Chained Books: The History of the Book\nYou might think of libraries being rather quiet demure places\, filled with dead trees rotting slowly\, but print history takes us to some quite risqué places. Think about those second-hand copies of Lady Chatterley’s Lover of a certain vintage which fall open at a particular page. \nIn this workshop you will choose from a selection of episodes in print history\, including bodice-rippers (romance novels)\, punk zines\, valuable books chained to desks\, and type so beautiful it drove people mad. So come along to find out more about the potential of print in this hands-on taster session. \nOur March Open Research Forum is presented by Malcolm Noble\, Leicester Vaughan College. \nRSVP on Eventbrite >> \nAbout Vaughan Open Research Forum\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. \nThemes for sessions relate to our core teaching topics\, arts\, humanities\, social sciences and counselling\, and also discuss adult education and co-operative issues.  The Vaughan Open Research Forums take place on the second Thursday of the month. \nThe Venue for the Open Research Forum is the Hansom Hall in the Leicester Adult Education College\, 54 Belvoir Street.

SUMMARY:Womanly Wickedness in West Midland Medieval Wall Paintings
DESCRIPTION:Our topic this month is “Womanly wickedness in West Midland medieval wall paintings: picking titles and communicating research in Coventry and Stratford-upon-Avon”. \nMedieval wall paintings aren’t easy to interpret. They are often fragmentary or compromised by later interventions. The meaning of their imagery is often contested\, even the titles we select can skew interpretation. \nThis research forum looks at two projects based in important sites in the West Midlands (Coventry and Stratford-upon-Avon) to explore how art historical methods can be communicated in a transparent and engaging way. Are they ale wives or wanton women? Should we call the figure in that painting ‘the whore of Babylon’? Can we be certain? Does it matter? \nThe February Vaughan Open Research Forum will be presented by our own Dr Miriam Gill. \nRSVP on Eventbrite >> \nAbout Vaughan Open Research Forum\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. \nThemes for sessions relate to our core teaching topics\, arts\, humanities\, social sciences and counselling\, and also discuss adult education and co-operative issues.  The Forums usually take place on the second Tuesday of the month\, however our February Forum will take place on the second Thursday. \nThe Venue for the Open Research Forum is the Hansom Hall in the Leicester Adult Education College\, 54 Belvoir Street.

Photo kindly provided by his parents. \nLessons from Neonatal Research: A Presentation by Dr Sarah Seaton\nOur presenter for the January Vaughan Open Research Forum session is Dr Sarah Seaton\, Perinatal and paediatric researcher. \nAfter birth around 1 in 8 babies require specialist care in neonatal units. For babies born too soon\, the time they require in hospital can be very lengthy and they face many challenges. Historically\, doctors would tell families that if their baby survived they would go home around their due date. But this statement had no research behind it. \nIn this talk\, Dr Sarah Seaton will explore whether evidence supports the use of this phrase\, and talk about the long term impact of prematurity. \nRegister on Eventbrite >> \nAbout Vaughan Open Research Forum\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. \nThemes for sessions relate to our core teaching topics\, arts\, humanities\, social sciences and counselling\, and also discuss adult education and co-operative issues.  The Forums usually take place on the second Tuesday of the month\, however our January Forum will take place on the second Thursday. \nThe Venue for the Open Research Forum is the Satta Hashem Hall in the Leicester Adult Education College\, 54 Belvoir Street.
