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: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. The Vaughan Open Research Forums take place on the second Thursday of the month. \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.

SUMMARY:Adult Education in the 1919 Centenary and the Time of 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 October Forum\n\n\n\nPresented by John Holford (Peers Prof of Adult Ed\, U of Nottingham) \n\n\n\nThe 1919 Ministry of Reconstruction Report on Adult Education gave a democratic ethos to 20th century adult education policy. The 2019 Centenary Commission Report restated the aims for the 21st century – but it did not foresee that within three months Coronavirus would have locked the country down\, reducing lawful human interaction to Zoom. \n\n\n\nWhat have we learned from the Covid-19 experience about the need and potential for democratic adult education? \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.

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

SUMMARY:Psychological Evidence in Murder Trials
DESCRIPTION:Professor Andrew Colman\n(Neuroscience\, Psychology and Behaviour) presents:\nPsychological Evidence in Murder Trials\nProfessor Colman has given expert psychological witness in a number of murder trials\, four of which will be discussed in this talk. \nTwo were mob murders arising from political and industrial unrest in South Africa just before the end of apartheid there. Social psychological processes were accepted for the first time anywhere as extenuating circumstances\, enabling 14 men to escape the death penalty. \nA third  was the notorious corporals murder by IRA members at a Belfast funeral; in this case\, the psychological evidence about false confessions was ruled inadmissible\, but on appeal\, the evidence of another psychologist led to the murder conviction being quashed. \nThe fourth was an appeal against a murder conviction for an honour killing of a young Sikh woman by her brothers in Huddersfield. Dr Colman submitted experimental evidence showing that the basis of the conviction was definitely unsound\, but it was ruled inadmissible by the Court of Appeal. \nBook your free ticket via 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 take place on the second Tuesday of the month. \nThe Venue for the Open Research Forum is the Satta Hashem Hall in the Leicester Adult Education College\, 54 Belvoir Street.

SUMMARY:The Restor(y)ing Retirement Course
DESCRIPTION:Jane Watts presents:\nThe Restor(y)ing Retirement Course – new approaches to learning for  Transitions in Later Life.\nThe Restor(y)ing Retirement pilot project explores the deliberate use  of narrative as an educational tool in later life learning. The paper  uses a narrative approach to bring alignment between the methodology of the pilot and its evaluation.  Situated in the theory of  story-telling within research\, the paper will examine the individual  stories to extract common themes alongside the individual insights. \nIn addition to looking at the effectiveness of the approach and  methodology\, this paper offers an analysis of some of these personal  stories\, to examine the educational needs of people making later life  transitions and how we make sense of such transitions.  The paper  reflects on some of the potential contradictions posed by concepts  such as ‘positive ageing’\, learning\, identity\, agency and an  individual’s responsibility for their wellbeing\, which are assumed in  the thinking behind the Transitions in Later Life programme  interventions. \nThe paper offers some lessons and recommendations for re-thinking  retirement education based on the experience of the pilot project. \n\nAbout Jane\nJane Watts\, PhD\, works on a range of projects\, research and development across the lifelong learning sector\, focusing particularly on areas of inclusion including refugees\, migrant workers\, older learners\, later life learning and employability issues.  Although in theory ‘semi-retired’\, she is self employed – carrying out research and development\, evaluation and facilitation in the lifelong learning sector.  She is a Senior Research Fellow – Learning and Work Institute (LWI\, formerly NIACE) and an Associate of the Centre for Policy on Ageing (CPA). In addition to the LWI and CPA\, she is currently carrying out work for the Universities of Warwick and Derby\, and for Age UK. \nJane is an active member of ESREA’s working group on Education and Learning of Older Adults and the Association of Education and Ageing. \nBook via 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 take place on the second Tuesday of the month. \nThe Venue for the Open Research Forum is the Satta Hashem Hall in the Leicester Adult Education College\, 54 Belvoir Street.

SUMMARY:The Stream of Life
DESCRIPTION:Dr Alexander Hall presents:\nThe Stream of Life: Evolution\, Julian Huxley\, and humanism on the BBC\nSince the first half of the 20th century humanist and rationalist organisations have regularly petitioned the BBC to receive more dedicated airtime for their worldviews. Regularly snubbed by mainstream BBC bigwigs\, humanist views nonetheless made it to air by being parachuted into science productions\, by figures such as the biologist and science populariser Julian Huxley. In this talk\, I will introduce these early connections between scientific shows discussing evolution and what Huxley called his “scientific humanist” worldview. Going beyond the post-war decades\, I will explore the legacy of this connection between humanism and scientific programming at the BBC\, asking the question whether any of its effects can still be felt in  the blockbuster documentaries produced by the Beeb today? \nAlexander Hall is a historian based at the University of Birmingham whose primary area of interest is the intersection between scientific knowledge\, the media\, and the environment. Dr Hall’s current research  explores how the media have represented evolutionary theory and religion during the second half of the twentieth‐century. Previously\, his research explored how scientists have gained positions of expertise in society and used the media to communicate complex theories to the public. He is President of the International Commission for the History of  Meteorology\, and Recorder for the History of Science section at the British Science Association. \nTo book your free ticket click here. \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 take place on the second Tuesday of the month. \nThe Venue for the Open Research Forum is the Satta Hashem Hall in the Leicester Adult Education College\, 54 Belvoir Street.
