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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

She has previously worked as a field archaeologist and as a post-excavation researcher at Durham and St Andrews.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
