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 URL:https://vaughan.coop/course/march-forum/ CATEGORIES:Vaughan Forum ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://vaughan.coop/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Prashant-Book-cover-2.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20230216T181500 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20230216T191500 DTSTAMP:20260428T205657 CREATED:20230207T115623Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230207T115628Z UID:4310-1676571300-1676574900@vaughan.coop 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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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. The research she is presenting here was funded by Vetenskapsrådet in Sweden. She did her PhD at Cambridge and has also worked at the University of Oulu\, Finland\, where she holds an honorary adjunct professorship.’ \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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
