Matt Davidson Rider Crooks (born 20 January 1994) is an English footballer who plays as a midfielder for  club Middlesbrough.

Career

Huddersfield Town
He first joined Huddersfield Town academy in 2009, after a spell at the Manchester United Academy and signed his first professional contract at the club.

In October 2010, he travelled with the Town squad for their League One match against Plymouth Argyle, and a few days later, he was named on the bench in their FA Cup match against Cambridge United. Ahead of the 2011–12 season, Crooks was among other youth players to be expected to be loaned out to gain first team experience. Nevertheless, in November, Crooks signed his first professional contract with the club, until 2014. It was announced on 9 February 2012 that Crooks was nominated for League One Apprentice of the Year, however, he ultimately lost it out to Charlton Athletic's Jordan Cousins.

In March 2012, it announced that Crooks would be joining Halifax Town on a one-month loan. While at Halifax Town, Crooks scored his first professional goal in a 4–0 win over Histon. That soon earned him a loan extension until the end of the season. Crooks was even allowed to play for the club's promotion push. For the following season, 2012–13, Crooks was given number 36 shirt, however, he failed to make an appearance for the first-team. On 7 December 2012, Crooks, along with James Burke, joined Radcliffe Borough on loan until mid-January. Crooks made an impressive display at the club, including when he scored a brace against Clitheroe. Two days later, Crooks made his return to Huddersfield Town.

After returning to Huddersfield Town, Crooks remained playing in the club's reserve. However, Crooks sustained an ankle injury during a development match in early October. Following a surgery, it was announced that Crooks would be on the sideline for two months. Following his return in mid-February, Crooks was praised for his return from injury and playing as a central defence. At the end of the 2013–14 season, Crooks was offered a new contract by the club.

Ahead of the 2014–15 season, Crooks switched number shirt from thirty-six to twenty-two after Ed Wilczynski took over Crook's first number and made an impressive display as a centre back in the pre-season friendly that convinced Mark Robins to use him. After years playing at the reserve and be loaned out twice at the time, Crooks finally made his first team début at centre back for the Terriers in the 4–0 defeat by A.F.C. Bournemouth on 9 August 2014 in the opening game of the season. The loss, however, was to be Robins last game as a manager of Huddersfield Town, as he was sacked the next day Newspaper Huddersfield Daily Examiner urged the club's supporters to give Crooks time to make up his mistake after receiving criticism during the match, including the first goal.

He did not make another appearance for Huddersfield that season and joined Hartlepool United on a month's emergency loan on 21 October 2014 as defensive cover. After making three appearances for the club, it announced that Crooks would make a return to the club following an expiry of a month loan with Hartlepool United. Three days after returning from his loan spell, he was sent on loan to fellow League Two side Accrington Stanley until 3 January. On 2 February 2015, Crooks left Huddersfield Town after having his contract terminated by mutual consent.

Accrington Stanley
Three weeks later, Crooks returned to Accrington Stanley signing an 18-month contract on 24 February 2015. After a strong start to the 2015–16 season which saw him score an extra time equaliser against Hull City in the Football League Cup and a 90th-minute equaliser against Notts County in League Two, Accrington manager John Coleman tipped Crooks to have a big future in the game.

In January 2016 it was announced that Scottish club Rangers had approached Crooks and teammate Josh Windass with a view to them signing pre-contract agreements. The talks angered the Accrington chairman Andy Holt as Rangers were only required to pay a nominal fee to complete the transfers for both players under FIFA regulations. The following day both players agreed pre-contracts with Rangers to join the club in the summer of 2016.

Rangers
Crooks officially joined Rangers on 1 July 2016, signing a four-year contract alongside fellow Accrington player Josh Windass. Both players had already been training with the club prior to completing their transfers after Rangers agreed a compensation fee with Accrington, reported to be around £60,000 per player. He missed the start of 2016–17 season due to an ankle ligament injury but returned to playing in an under-20 match against St Mirren in late August. Crooks made his first-team debut against Queen of the South in a Scottish League Cup match, appearing as a 72nd-minute substitute on 20 September 2016. However, Crooks has only made a few sporadic appearances for the club thereafter and this led many to criticise then Rangers manager Mark Warburton's transfer policy.

Northampton Town
Crooks officially joined the English League One side on 18 July 2017 for an undisclosed transfer fee after only three appearances with Rangers FC.

On 9 September 2017, Crooks scored his first competitive goal for the Cobblers after 21 seconds of the game against  Doncaster Rovers, this was the quickest goal ever scored in a competitive match at Sixfields Stadium.

Rotherham United
On 11 January 2019, Crooks joined EFL Championship side Rotherham United for an undisclosed fee, signing a three-and-a-half year contract. Following the Millers relegation to League One, Crooks was part of the side that gained immediate promotion after the season was curtailed early due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

Crooks was awarded the EFL Championship Player of the Month award for January 2021 after scoring three goals in an impressive month for Rotherham.

Middlesbrough
On 23 July 2021, Crooks completed a move to EFL Championship side Middlesbrough for an undisclosed fee, signing a three-year contract. He scored his first goal for Middlesbrough in a 2-1 home win against Bristol City on 14 August 2021. Four days later, on 18 August 2021, Crooks scored again during a 3-2 home defeat to QPR. On 25 August 2021, Crooks was shown a straight red card in the 87th minute of a 1-0 league defeat away to Reading. However, the decision was overturned and the red card was rescinded following an appeal from Middlesbrough. On 15 January 2022, Crooks scored two headed goals, including a stoppage time winner, in a 2-1 home win against Reading.

Personal life
Crooks is a Manchester United fan.

Crooks has been diagnosed with epilepsy, the condition first discovered following a seizure when he was 18 years old. Crooks works with the Peter Doody Foundation, a charity which works to normalise epilepsy and free young adults from stigma, limitations and fear - as well as highlighting the dangers of the condition.

Crooks is a member of The Jordan Sinnott Foundation Trust.

title: Alex Lacey

text:
Alexander Lawrence Lacey (born 31 May 1993) is an English footballer who plays as a central defender for Hartlepool United.

Career

Luton Town
Born in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, Lacey joined the Luton Town youth set-up as a first-year scholar in 2007. As a 16-year-old, he was an unused substitute during Luton's narrow 1–0 defeat to League One side Southampton in the FA Cup in January 2010.

He signed a professional contract with Luton in November 2010 and made his first-team debut a month later, starting against Welling United in a 0–0 draw in the FA Trophy. He made two further starts in the club's FA Trophy campaign, which culminated in Luton being defeated in the semi-final to Mansfield Town. Lacey made his league debut as a substitute on 30 April 2011 in a 1–1 draw against Wrexham.

He played the full 90 minutes of a pre-season friendly in July 2011 against Southern League Premier Division side Cambridge City, with his display in defence described as "impeccable" and "assured". Lacey's performance was not overlooked by Cambridge City, who subsequently signed him on loan for an initial month, alongside fellow Luton youth player JJ O'Donnell, on 12 August 2011. This loan was later extended until October. Lacey returned to Luton having made 14 appearances, and then joined Conference South side Thurrock on loan for a month in November. He played three times in this loan period, and then played in three FA Trophy games upon his return to Luton. He was sent to Eastbourne Borough on loan for the final two months of the 2011–12 season, making 14 appearances and scoring two goals as he helped the club narrowly avoid relegation. Lacey was linked with moves to Championship sides Southampton and Burnley, but signed a new two-year contract with Luton in June 2012.

Injuries prevented Lacey from breaking into the Luton first-team at the beginning of the 2012–13 season and, when fit, manager Paul Buckle preferred to use the loan market for young defenders, bringing in Connor Essam and Simon Ainge. Lacey joined Conference South side Eastleigh in January 2013 on a one-month loan that was later extended until the end of the season. He played in both legs of Eastleigh's play-off semi-final in April 2013, which ended in a penalty shoot-out defeat to Dover Athletic. He returned to Luton having played in 20 games, scoring once, and was praised for his performances both at centre-back and right-back.

Paul Buckle had been replaced at Luton by experienced manager John Still towards the end of the 2012–13 season. Still named Lacey as Luton's captain during their 2013–14 pre-season games to improve his communication skills. On the opening day of the 2013–14 season, an injury to regular captain Ronnie Henry and a red card for vice-captain Steve McNulty meant that Lacey, at the age of 20, had the unusual distinction of captaining Luton on his first league start for the club; a 1–0 defeat to Southport. Lacey played in central defence in Luton's opening six games of the 2013–14 season, during which the team kept four clean sheets. He scored his first goal for the club in a 4–0 win against Woking on 25 September 2013 and remained in the starting XI as Luton embarked on a club-record 27 league game unbeaten run. He fractured a metatarsal in a 3–0 win against Southport in November 2013, which sidelined him for three months. By the time Lacey had recovered, he had been replaced in central defence by Fraser Franks. With his Luton contract set to expire at the end of the season, Lacey was linked with potential moves to Bournemouth, Charlton Athletic, Millwall and Peterborough United. However, on 3 April 2014, Lacey signed a two-year contract extension with Luton. Luton won the Conference Premier title during the 2013–14 season, with Lacey playing in a total of 21 league games.

He made his Football League debut on the opening day of the 2014–15 season, playing in a new position as a defensive midfielder as Luton beat Carlisle United 1–0. He played in a total of 20 matches throughout the campaign, often as a substitute, and was placed on the transfer list at the end of the season.

Yeovil Town
On 22 July 2015, Lacey joined League Two side Yeovil Town on a free transfer, signing a two-year deal. He scored his first goal for Yeovil in an EFL Trophy match against Milton Keynes Dons on 6 December 2016. Lacey also scored in three League Two ties; a 2–1 home win against Plymouth Argyle, a 3–1 away win at Morecambe and a 3–3 draw away at Exeter City. He was a near ever-present in his second season at the club, featuring in 47 games in all competitions.

At the conclusion of the 2016–17 season, Lacey was awarded with the Green & White Supporters Club and Community Sports Trust Player of the Season trophies. In total, Lacey played 72 times during his two-year spell at Yeovil Town.

Gillingham

At the end of the 2016–17 season, Lacey rejected Yeovil's offer of a new contract, instead signing a two-year deal at League One side Gillingham under manager Adrian Pennock. He became Peter Taylor's first signing in his role as Director of Football at the club.

Although a series of injuries restricted Lacey's playing time in his first season at the club, his second season was more successful. Highlights included keeping a clean sheet in an early 0-0 draw away at Championship side Millwall's New Den in the League Cup (losing 3–1 on penalties after extra time), a pair of 2–0 wins over League One leaders Portsmouth (scoring the second in the away fixture at Fratton Park) as well as a notable performance in a televised 1–0 home victory over Premier League club Cardiff City in the third round of the FA Cup. However, playing time was again fairly limited thereafter, with his final appearance for Gillingham coming as a second-half substitute in a 3–0 away win at Blackpool on the last day of the season.

Lacey left Gillingham upon the expiry of his contract after the conclusion of the 2018–19 season.

Notts County
On 7 November 2019, Lacey joined National League side Notts County until the end of the 2019–20 season. After a brief pre-season, Lacey broke into the first team in December, making his début in a 4–2 away win at FC Halifax Town. County suffered just two defeats in the following twelve league games, keeping seven clean sheets in the process, culminating in a 4–0 televised defeat of Eastleigh in what was considered 'the biggest match in England' due to the postponement of both the Football League and Premier League. With the club in 3rd place, the season ultimately postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the final table decided on a points-per-game basis, Notts County beat Barnet 2–0 in their play-off semi-final at Meadow Lane before losing 3–1 to Harrogate Town in the play-off final at Wembley, with Lacey playing the full 90 minutes in both matches.

Despite interest from clubs in higher tiers, Lacey opted to extend his contract on 11 August 2020.

Following defeat in the play-offs eliminator, Lacey was released at the end of the 2021–22 season.

Hartlepool United
On 24 June 2022, Lacey signed for League Two side Hartlepool United.

title: Glencoe Mill Village Historic District

text:
Glencoe Mill Village Historic District is a national historic district located at Glencoe, Alamance County, North Carolina. It encompasses 48 contributing buildings and 6 contributing structures built between 1880 and 1882 in Glencoe.

The district consists of three parts: 1) a manufacturing and commercial complex; 2) a power and water system; and 3) a residential and social unit.  The complex includes a three-story, Italianate style main mill building, a wheel house, a one-story picker house, a dye-house, finishing room and napper house, cotton warehouses and other storage buildings, and an office and company store complex.

The original  log and stone dam from the grist and saw mill which occupied the site from the early 1860s provided 130 horsepower via a double turbine  Poole & Hunt Company water wheel measuring  . Steam engines were added to the Dye House, Finishing and Napper rooms by 1905.

The power and water system includes a concrete dam  across the Haw River, tail race, and a generating plant. The residential and social unit includes 41 frame dwellings, some with detached kitchens and outbuildings, a lodge, and the ruins of the village church.

The  property was purchased on January 26, 1878 for $8000 by E. M. Holt & Sons.  An additional  was purchased the following year. The Holts established other cotton mills throughout Alamance County because of the "abundant water power drew workers from and supplemented local agriculture" according to a Historic American Engineering Record prepared in 1977.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. The building which once housed management offices and the company store was established as a museum in 2002.

title: Matt Robinson (footballer, born 1993)

text:
Matthew James Robinson (born 12 November 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Boreham Wood on loan from National League club Woking. He is also an MC, making music under the name Kamakaze.

He played in the Football League for Luton Town and has played for Kidderminster Harriers, Grimsby Town and Woking on loan, before spending seven years at Dagenham & Redbridge. He was also capped at England C level in 2022.

His song "Last Night", featuring Massappeals, was also added to the FIFA 20 soundtrack, leading Kamakaze to become the first person to have a song on FIFA's soundtrack while also previously having featured on FIFA as a football character.

Football career

Early career
Born in Leicester, Leicestershire, Robinson began his career in the youth system at Leicester City. He made 43 appearances in the youth team over the course of two seasons, scoring 14 goals, but was not offered a contract and left the club in early 2012.

Luton Town
Robinson went on trial with Conference Premier club Luton Town later in 2012 and impressed manager Paul Buckle enough in pre-season to be offered a two-year professional contract. He made his debut as an 87th-minute substitute in a 2–0 win away to Kidderminster Harriers on 14 August 2012. Robinson made six substitute appearances and started two matches under Buckle, before starting six matches under new manager John Still following his appointment on 26 February 2013. He scored his first professional goal on the final day of 2012–13 in a 3–1 win away to Southport and finished the season with 14 appearances and one goal. In June 2013, Robinson signed a contract extension until June 2015.

Robinson was primarily an unused substitute for much of the first half of 2013–14, though he did play in Luton's FA Cup and FA Trophy matches. On 26 December 2013, fellow Luton midfielder Jonathan Smith suffered a double leg break during a 2–1 win away to Barnet, promoting Robinson to a more regular place in the team. He played in all but one of Luton's matches in the second half of the season, scoring his first goal of 2013–14 in a 3–0 win at home to Chester on 22 March 2014, and this was followed up with a goal in the following match, a 2–1 win away to Grimsby Town. 19-year-old Robinson, who played alongside 18-year-old Cameron McGeehan and 20-year-old Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu in a youthful midfield trio, was praised by Still for his performances. He finished the season with 31 appearances and two goals, as Luton won the Conference Premier title and therefore promotion into League Two.

He made his Football League debut in Luton's 1–0 victory away to Carlisle United on the opening day of 2014–15. On 1 October 2014, Robinson signed a three-year contract extension to keep him at Luton until June 2017.

On 31 October 2014, Robinson joined Kidderminster Harriers on a one-month loan. He went on to make six appearances for the Harriers before returning to Luton, declining the chance to stay for a further month to fight for his place at Luton. He made a total of 12 appearances for Luton throughout the season, but was placed on the club's transfer list in May 2015 alongside five other players.

On 21 August 2015, Robinson joined National League club Grimsby Town on a one-month loan.

On 23 October 2015, Robinson joined Woking on a one-month loan after failing to impress at Grimsby Town. He debuted a day later, starting in a 3–0 defeat away to Maidenhead United in the FA Cup fourth qualifying round. On 19 December 2015, Robinson scored his first Woking goal in a 5–1 victory away to Gateshead, in which he poked home a cross from Dan Holman. On 14 January 2016, Robinson's loan at Woking was extended until the end of the season. He completed the loan spell with 31 appearances and two goals.

On 10 May 2016, Luton announced that Robinson had once again been placed on the transfer list. However, just one week later, he was released from his contract by mutual consent one year early as part of the reorganisation of the squad by Luton manager Nathan Jones. He made 57 appearances and scored three goals since joining the club in 2012.

Dagenham & Redbridge
Robinson signed a two-year contract with newly relegated National League club Dagenham & Redbridge on 7 June 2016.

Woking
On 12 June 2023, following a seven-year spell with Dagenham & Redbridge, Robinson returned to Woking on a two-year deal.

Boreham Wood (loan)
On 29 September 2023, Robinson agreed to join fellow National League side, Boreham Wood on loan until 27 January 2024.

International career
Robinson was called up to the England national C team on 20 October 2016 for an International Challenge Trophy match against the Estonia under-23 team.

Music career
Robinson is an MC, performing under the stage name Kamakaze. He began writing lyrics around age 11-12, and has made music such as hip-hop, cloud rap, UK garage, and, most notably, grime.

In 2015, Kamakaze released a freestyle on JDZ Media, which by 2019 has reached over 3 million views. In 2019, Kamakaze performed a football freestyle on the BBC, and featured on the FIFA 20 Volta soundtrack alongside Leicester producer Massappeals. Kamakaze's song "Kam Dog" also featured on the gameplay trailer for FIFA 20 Volta. His song "Last Night", featuring Massappeals, was also added to the FIFA 20 soundtrack, leading Kamakaze to become the first person to have a song on FIFA's soundtrack while also previously having featured on FIFA as a football character. Kamakaze was nominated for the award of Best Grime Act at the 2022 MOBO awards.

Personal life
In a March 2021 interview, Robinson revealed he had recently fathered a baby girl.

title: Sandra Knapp

text:
Sandra Diane Knapp  (born 1956) is an American-born botanist. She is a merit researcher of the Plants Division of the Natural History Museum, London and from 2018 was the president of the Linnean Society of London. While working at the Natural History Museum, London she has overseen the Flora Mesoamericana inventory of Central American plants. She has published several books on botanical subjects as well as a significant number of scientific articles. In 2016 she was awarded the Linnean Medal. In 2022 she was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society. In 2023 she was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) and was awarded the Engler Medal in Gold by the International Association for Plant Taxonomy.

Education
Knapp has a B.A. in botany from Pomona College (1978) and a PhD from Cornell University (1986), where she worked with Michael D. Whalen.

Work
Knapp specialises in various taxa within the genus Solanum, including the Geminata clade, the Dulcamaroid clade, the Thelopodium clade, the Pteroidea group and the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and relatives. She is also an expert in other taxa within the nightshade family (Solanaceae), including the genus Nicotiana and the tribes Anthocercidae and Juanulloeae.

Knapp has collected plants in Central and South America for the Missouri Botanical Garden and Cornell University, among others. She has also worked for the Institute for Botanical Exploration at Mississippi State University.

Since 1992, Knapp has been active as a scientific researcher in the botany department of the Natural History Museum in London. She is involved in field work and research in the herbarium. She also contributes to taxonomic research of the Geminta and Dulcamaroid clades, in particular in the context of the Planetary Biodiversity Inventory project Solanum, a worldwide research project to map nightshades. She participates in a collaborative project to clarify the genomic evolution of Nicotiana. She is also active in involving the private sector in the implementation of the biodiversity treaty in Gran Chaco. She is an editor of the Flora Mesoamericana publication series, a project aimed at mapping as many plants as possible found in Mesoamerica .

She has authored several books on botany or botanical exploration and has written over 200 peer reviewed scientific articles. The French-language edition of her book Potted Histories, entitled Le Voyage Botanique, was awarded the Prix Pierre-Joseph Redouté in 2004, a prize that was established in 2000 in honour of the best French-language plant book in a given year.

She has also published numerous botanical names, in particular taxa within the Nightshade family. Knapp has published three botanical names of passion flowers together with lepidopterist James Mallet. One of them, Passiflora macdougaliana, they named after Passiflora specialist John MacDougal. MacDougal himself named Passiflora sandrae after Knapp.

Committees, panels and societies
She is a member of the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council Innovator of the Year panel, a member of the Shenzhen Declaration for Plant Sciences Committee, and a member of the National Geographic Grants Committee. She did important work in 2011 (at the XVIII International Botanical Congress in Melbourne and in 2017 at the XIX International Botanical Congress in Shenzhen by chairing the committees on botanical nomenclature. The changes made had the effect modernizing the nomenclatural rules for fungi, algae, and plants to allow electronic publication of names, and to create a registry of plant names to make it easier to retrieve botanical names. In May 2017 Knapp became the president-elect of the Linnean Society of London, and in May 2018 succeeded Prof. Paul Brakefield as president. She is also a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Scientific outreach
In October 1999, Knapp discussed her book Footsteps in the Forest: Alfred Wallace in the Amazon on the BBC World Service's Science in Action. Knapp was an interviewed guest on BBC Radio 3's Night Waves in July 2013 in a segment about Alfred Russel Wallace. She appeared on the BBC Radio 4 programme In Our Time in May 2014 to explain photosynthesis. In October 2014 Knapp was a guest on BBC Radio 4's The Museum of Curiosity. Her hypothetical donation to this fictional museum was the South American freeze-dried potato product Chuño. A year later, in Natural History Heroes, a series collaborating between Radio 4 and the Natural History Museum, London she chose "Miss – not Dr – Alice Eastwood" as her hero. In July 2017, Knapp was a guest on the BBC World Service's The Forum, where she discussed Carl Linnaeus. In October 2019 Knapp appeared on In Our Time, this time to talk about hybrids.

Honours and awards
In 2016 she was awarded, jointly with Georgina Mace, the Linnean Medal of the Linnean Society. In 2009 she was presented with the Peter Raven Outreach Award for public engagement with science by the American Society of Plant Taxonomists and the UK National Biodiversity Network's John Burnett Medal. University College London and Stockholm University have both awarded Knapp with honorary professorships. In 2022 she was awarded the David Fairchild Medal for Plant Exploration by the United States National Tropical Botanic Garden. Also in 2022 Knapp was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society.

Knapp was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2023 New Year Honours for services to botany and the public understanding of science. In 2023 Knapp was awarded the Engler Medal in Gold by the International Association for Plant Taxonomy in recognition for her outstanding lifetime contribution to taxonomy and systematics of plants, algae, or fungi.

title: Piedmont Institution

text:
The Piedmont Institute (1889-1912) was the original high school in the city of Rockmart, Georgia. Established in 1889 by the Methodist North Georgia Annual Conference. The Piedmont Institute building is no longer standing and is replaced by the current high school Rockmart High School. The Rockmart School System of trustees purchased the original structure in 1912 and began the public school system. The structure then burn down in 1915 and was rebuilt; however, it burned down again in 1940. The lot for the previous high school is now where the Rockmart Government Complex is located. The first president of the Piedmont Institute was E. W. Ballenger—a widely known preacher and educator in the Rockmart Community.

History
Rockmart in 1889 was limited to six elementary school grades. The demand was not there for much higher education due to child labor laws that allowed children as young as eight years old to work in factories, or on the farm. It was not because a family did not wish their children to have more education; it was just simply not feasible or affordable. There were many parents that did wish for a higher education level and a better way of life for their children and promoted this ideal to the churches that they attend.

Curriculum

To graduate from Piedmont Institute required four years of English language, four years of Latin language, two years of French language, four years of mathematics, four years of Social Science, one year of botany, and one year of chemistry. In addition, one lesson a week in Bible study was required for the high school students. Instrumental and vocal music lessons were taught, and excellence in oratory was encouraged. There was no program in Physical Education and no competitive sports.

title: Kitale Museum

text:
First opened in 1924 to the public, the Kitale Museum is the first domestic museum opened in Kenya. Originally known as the Stoneham Museum, which was named after Colonel Hugh Stoneham who had been a large contributor and collector of the artifacts held within the museum up until his death in 1966. It was later renamed the Kitale Museum when it was established by the National Museums of Kenya in 1974.

The Kitale Museum used to be a privately owned museum prior to the death of Colonel Stoneham. After he died he willed funds as well as his entire collection, which included an extensive insect collection to the Kenyan government so that they could establish a national museum. In 1974 a new museum building was founded in Kitale on 5 acres of land making the Kitale Museum the first regional museum to become a part of the Kenya Museum Society.

Kitale Museum is located in western Kenya in Trans-Nzoia County. It is exactly 380 kilometres northwest from the nation's capital, Nairobi. The museum is 1 km west of the town centre on the outskirts of Kitale.

A majority of the collections within the museum are items gathered from various tribes within Kenya such as the Luyha, Maasai and the Turkana. The museum displays their traditional Kenyan homes, weaponry, utensils and native musical instruments. The museum also includes a nature trail, which was created in 1977 and is located towards the back of the museum. This nature trail conserves various rare plants and animals. It is a serene makeshift rainforest that allows visitors of the museum to experience what it's like to be inside an actual Kenyan rainforest. The museum also holds animals such as Nile crocodiles, leopard tortoises and various poisonous snakes such as the puff adder, rock python, Gaboon viper and the rhinoceros viper.

The museum showcases the history of the communities in Kenya, especially the Luhya tribe. This showcases the setup of a Bukusu homestead which comprises the main house, the kitchen and boys sleeping house also known as the SIMBA. The Sabaot homestead consists of circular huts (mostly of about 20 metres in diameter) and is divided into two parts: the front part called Koima, in which most of the people live, while the back smaller part is called Injoor and is mainly reserved for small endangered animals like goats and sheep.

title: Tom Pett

text:
Thomas George Pett (born 3 December 1991) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder; he is without a club after leaving Port Vale on 30 June 2023.

Pett began his senior career at hometown club Potters Bar Town after progressing through the youth ranks to establish himself in the first-team during the 2009–10 season. He joined Wealdstone in January 2012 and helped the club win the Isthmian Premier Division during his  years with them. In June 2014, Pett joined Stevenage. He spent  years with Stevenage before joining fellow League Two club Lincoln City in January 2018. Pett helped Lincoln secure the League Two title during the 2018–19 season. Pett left Lincoln in May 2020. He rejoined Stevenage in November 2020, before signing for fellow League Two club Port Vale in July 2021. He helped the club to win promotion from League Two via the play-offs in 2022. He has also been capped at England C level.

Career

Non-League football
Pett began his career at Boreham Wood under the club's PASE youth system, spending just two months at academy level before moving to play in the youth system of hometown club Potters Bar Town. He broke into the first team and established himself as a regular in the starting line-up at Potters Bar during the 2009–10 season, and later captained the club. He was described as "one of the standout performers" for the following two seasons.

Pett was offered the chance to join up with Wealdstone midway through the 2011–12 season, who then played a division above Potters Bar, in the Isthmian League Premier Division. He accepted the offer and it was announced that he had signed on a permanent deal on 25 January 2012. During Pett's final season with the club, he scored 18 times as Wealdstone won the Isthmian Premier Division title. He credited experienced teammates Glen Little and Scott McGleish for this success. He spent two and a half seasons at Wealdstone in which he scored 29 times in 123 appearances in all competitions. Manager Gordon Bartlett said, "I can honestly say I always knew he would go on to play full-time football and I know he can make it in the professional game". Whilst playing for Wealdstone, Pett represented the England C team and was training to be a PE teacher.

Stevenage
Having spent time on trial with League Two club Stevenage, Pett joined the club for an undisclosed fee, on an initial one-year contract, on 23 June 2014. He made his debut on the opening day of the 2014–15 season, playing 88 minutes in the club's 1–0 home victory against Hartlepool United on 9 August 2014. Pett scored his first goal for the club on 6 September 2014, briefly restoring parity in an eventual 3–2 defeat to York City. He started the new year with two goals in three games, taking his goal tally for the season to four. This included a long-range strike to double Stevenage's lead in a 2–0 away victory at York City on 17 January 2015. Pett scored with a "blistering strike" in a 1–0 home victory over Portsmouth on 14 April 2015, strengthening the club's place in the League Two play-off spots. The club went on to play Southend United in the play-off semi-finals, with Pett scoring in the second leg; Stevenage ultimately lost 4–2 on aggregate over the two games. He scored eight goals in 38 games in all competitions during his first season in professional football.

Pett signed a new two-year contract with the club on 13 July 2015. During the 2015–16 campaign, he was a first-team regular under new manager Teddy Sheringham as Stevenage finished that season in 18th-place in League Two. Pett made 43 appearances during the season, scoring once; his only goal of the season came in a 2–2 draw against Yeovil Town on 14 November 2015. He remained at Stevenage the following season under new permanent manager Darren Sarll, and made his first appearance of the campaign as a second-half substitute in Stevenage's 2–1 home win over Luton Town on 20 August 2016. Pett came on after half-time with Stevenage trailing in the match and assisted the winning goal. Thereafter, he was a regular starter in the team, scoring his first goal of the season in the club's 6–1 victory against Hartlepool United on 3 September 2016. He made his 100th appearance for Stevenage in a 2–0 defeat to Blackpool on 10 December 2016. Goals in home victories over Wycombe Wanderers, Leyton Orient and local rivals Barnet played a part in Stevenage's upturn in form, as Stevenage found themselves in the play-off positions before eventually finishing in tenth position. Pett made 44 appearances during the season, scoring six times. Shortly after the season had ended, Stevenage stated that Pett had been placed on the transfer-list after an agreement could not be reached between the two parties during contract extension discussions, with Pett's contract set to expire in the summer of 2018.

Despite being transfer-listed, Pett remained at Stevenage for the start of the 2017–18 season, scoring the club's first goal of the new campaign when he capitalised on a defensive mistake to open the scoring in an eventual 3–3 draw with Newport County on 5 August 2017. Pett went on to score seven times in 34 appearances during the first half of the campaign, including his first brace for Stevenage in a 4–1 win against Cheltenham Town on 1 January 2018. During his three-and-a-half years with Stevenage, Pett made 159 appearances and scored 22 goals.

Lincoln City
In January 2018, Pett informed Stevenage that he was going to be leaving the club when his contract expired later in June that year, which would have meant he would have left on a free transfer upon the expiry of his contract. Stevenage received a "significant five-figure" offer for Pett from fellow League Two club Lincoln City towards the end of the month, which was accepted. Pett agreed personal terms and subsequently signed for Lincoln on a -year deal on 31 January 2018. He made his Lincoln debut as a 61st-minute substitute in a 2–2 draw with Swindon Town at Sincil Bank on 3 February 2018. Pett scored his first goal for Lincoln in the club's 1–1 home draw with Yeovil Town on the final day of the regular season. Pett's goal, a  equaliser late in the second half, helped Lincoln earn the point they needed to secure their place in the League Two play-offs. Lincoln would ultimately lose to Exeter City at the semi-final stage, with Pett coming on as a substitute in both matches. He made 11 appearances for Lincoln during the second half of the 2017–18 season, scoring once.

Pett scored his first goal of the 2018–19 campaign in a 2–1 away victory at Macclesfield Town on 15 September 2018. He was named as the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) Fans' Player of the Month for September. He made 51 appearances during his first full season at Lincoln, scoring four times as they finished the season as League Two champions. He suffered back problems ahead of the 2019–20 season and was then ruled out of action for up to six weeks with a knee injury, suffering a medial ligament tear. During this time he was studying mental health with Middlesex University, during which he was writing a dissertation. By the time he regained his fitness, manager Danny Cowley, who had brought Pett to the club, had departed and was replaced by Michael Appleton, who told him that he would not play in any further League One matches but would continue to train with the first team. His departure from the club was confirmed on 28 May 2020.

Return to Stevenage
Without a club at the start of the season, Pett rejoined League Two club Stevenage on 3 November 2020, on a contract until the end of the 2020–21 season. Pett made his first appearance since returning to Stevenage in the club's FA Cup first round match with Concord Rangers on 7 November 2020, assisting the first goal in an eventual penalty shoot-out victory. He scored his first goal since re-joining the club in a 2–1 defeat to Bolton Wanderers on 21 November 2020. Pett made 34 appearances during the campaign, scoring twice. Stevenage chairman Phil Wallace described Pett as "outstanding" during the player's second spell at the club, with Stevenage having improved from last place to 14th position in the League Two standings during his time there.

Port Vale
Pett was offered a new contract by Stevenage, which he did not sign after informing the club that he would be relocating further north. He subsequently signed a two-year contract with fellow League Two club Port Vale on 29 June 2021. With Brad Walker out injured, Pett was a composed presence as he established himself in a midfield holding role at the start of the 2021–22 season, whilst directing central midfield partners Tom Conlon and Ben Garrity to do the running work. He captained the team after Conlon was ruled out injured for the second half of the season. On 2 April, Pett suffered a grade three hamstring tear and was initially ruled out of action for up to twelve weeks; he credited the medical department after recovering within four weeks. He started in the play-off final at Wembley Stadium as Vale secured promotion with a 3–0 victory over Mansfield Town; Michael Baggaley of The Sentinel wrote that "[Pett was] calm, composed and classy in the midfield to help his side control the game".

Pett underwent an operation to fix a niggling spinal disc herniation in his back in the 2022–23 pre-season and had to regain his fitness during the early part of the campaign, whilst new signing Funso Ojo was in good form in midfield along with Conlon, Walker and Garrity. He managed to re-establish himself in the starting eleven, and earned back-to-back Player of the Match awards at Vale Park in March. He also served as club captain whilst Conlon was out injured. David Flitcroft, the club's director of football, confirmed that the player's contract would not be renewed beyond June 2023.

Style of play
Pett is a reliable holding midfield player. Speaking in March 2023, he described his strengths as reading the game, winning the ball and making passes to transition the team from defence to attack.

Personal life
Pett has a Twitch channel on which he streams himself playing video games such as Call of Duty, FIFA and Football Manager. As of 2022, he was dating professional footballer Hannah Blundell.

title: Angela Gallop

text:
Angela Mary Cecilia Gallop  (born 2 January 1950) is a British forensic scientist.

She began her career with the Forensic Science Service in 1974. Since 1986, she has run her own forensic service companies. Her findings helped solve notorious cases such as the deaths of Roberto Calvi, Rachel Nickell, Lynette White, Damilola Taylor, and Gareth Williams. She also took part in the investigation of the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, finding no evidence to support theories of a conspiracy. She has been awarded the Order of the British Empire for her scientific contributions, detailed in her books, and has been portrayed on television.

Early life and education
Gallop was born and raised in Oxford, England, and grew up "tomboyish", playing with her brothers, half-brothers and her chemistry set. Her parents, Eunice and Kenneth Knowles, divorced. She was educated at Headington School but performed poorly and barely qualified for the sixth form, where a botany teacher sparked her interest in science. She studied botany at the University of Sheffield and biochemistry at the University of Oxford. Gallop spent much of the early 1970s researching the biochemistry of chloroplasts in sea slugs on the Isle of Wight for her Doctor of Philosophy degree.

Career

Forensic Science Service
Seeking a more popular field as well as a less repetitive job, Gallop became a senior biologist with the Forensic Science Service (FSS) in 1974. Aside from assistants and secretarial staff, she was one of few women in the laboratory; her boss did not think she could cope emotionally but her colleagues supported her. She visited her first crime scene in February 1978, looking for clues about the murder in Huddersfield of Helen Rytka, later confirmed as a victim of Peter Sutcliffe. She credits her determination "to give some relief to the family" to this case.

Forensic Access
By 1986, Gallop felt her workload was too large and her stimulation unsatisfactory, so she established her first company, Forensic Access. She intended to provide services to criminal defence lawyers, who could not rely on the FSS expertise at the time. Her advertisements initially yielded requests for infidelity investigations, which she carried out. By the end of 1986, her business had grown enough to have full-time employees and she moved from her work from her home to a proper laboratory. She soon began investigating murder, assault, and arson cases as well as cold cases. She was commissioned by the defence in the trial of Robert Thompson for the murder of James Bulger.

By 1991, when she was hired to re-examine the evidence in the apparent suicide by hanging of Italian banker Roberto Calvi, Gallop had gained a reputation for her unconventional methods. Realizing that he shared Calvi's proportions, Gallop conducted experiments with her husband, fellow forensic scientist Russell Stockdale, that proved that Calvi could not have hanged himself and that he was murdered. Nobody has been convicted, but Calvi's family were impressed by Gallop's work and consider her findings essential.

Forensic Alliance
Gallop founded another company, Forensic Alliance, in 1997, providing service to the police. In 1999, the company solved the 1988 murder of Lynette White after finding a microscopic flake of dried blood under two layers of new paint. The police began hiring Gallop whenever they needed to review significant cold cases. She was asked in 2003 to review the evidence in the 2000 killing of Damilola Taylor. In 2004, the Metropolitan Police commissioned her to have a look at the forensic evidence relating to the 1997 car crash deaths of Diana, Princess of Wales, and Dodi Fayed. Gallop found no grounds to support the claims of Fayed's father, Mohamed Al-Fayed, that the couple were killed in a conspiracy involving the British royal family. Gallop's analysis of Diana's stomach content proved to Operation Paget that Diana was not pregnant when she died.

When investigating the Pembrokeshire coastal path murders, Gallop prevailed upon the police to fund the expensive examination of trace evidence, which led to the conviction of the murderer. She considers this the most satisfying moment in her career and believes that the case would not have been solved without fiber examination. The same method proved successful when she was commissioned to investigate the 1993 murder of Stephen Lawrence, a black teenager.

She contributed evidence to the Macpherson inquiry, which found that the initial investigation of Lawrence's death failed due to institutional racism in the Metropolitan Police. She was commissioned for the case again in 2006, providing key evidence that led to convictions. Gallop has also commented on the investigation into the death of Gareth Williams, the Secret Intelligence Service operative who was found dead in suspicious circumstances at a Security Service safe house flat in Pimlico, London, in 2010. Other high-profile murder cases solved with Gallop's help include that of Rachel Nickell.

Besides murders, Gallop has been commissioned to investigate other kinds of criminal cases, including suspected incest, rapes, war crimes, and bestiality; in a particularly unusual case, she confirmed the presence of boar sperm in the abdomen of a man hospitalised with a punctured colon and peritonitis. She has also worked on the investigations of alleged alien abductions.

Axiom International and beyond
In 2010, Gallop helped found Axiom International, which provides forensic and related advice to law enforcement agencies worldwide. She is the firm's chief executive. She has since worked in Libya, Iraq, Somaliland, and Kosovo.

To Gallop's dismay, the UK government closed the FSS in 2012 to save funds. According to Irish forensic scientist Niamh Nic Daéid, "some people in the business" blame Gallop for the demise of the FSS because she started a competing commercial alternative to it, but he thinks such conclusions are "a bit unfair". In Gallop's view, the FSS should have been "modernised and made properly commercial" rather than closed.

In late 2021, Gallop met John Actie, one of five black and mixed-race men who had been wrongly accused of the murder of Lynette White. He had spent two years in prison when Gallop's findings proved his innocence. This was her first meeting with someone she helped exonerate and was filmed for a Channel 5 documentary.

Gallop has reduced her involvement in frontline forensic work but has expressed an interest in taking on plenty of cold cases, including the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

Other ventures
Gallop started writing to record her life's work and to highlight the lack of funding and recognition for forensic scientists. She detailed her early cases in a 2019 book titled When the Dogs Don’t Bark. A second book, How to Solve a Crime, came out in early 2022. She is careful about what she puts in her books and said that the inclusion of certain revealing elements of forensic technique "would make our job a lot more difficult".

Gallop is a visiting professor at the University of Strathclyde.

Awards and honours
Between 2001 and 2004, Gallop was president of the Forensic Science Society and in 2011 was awarded an honorary degree of Doctor of Science (D.Sc.) by Nottingham Trent University, in recognition of her contribution to national and international forensic science in the support of justice. Gallop has served on the Independent Police Commission, chaired by Lord Stevens.

Gallop was made Commander of the Order of the British Empire as part of the 2015 Queen's Birthday Honours.

Popular culture
Angela Gallop is portrayed by actor Anastasia Hille in the 2021 TV miniseries titled The Pembrokeshire Murders. Gallop praised Hille's talent but lamented the lack of "lightness" and "passion" in the character, observing that scientists are not constantly "very serious and very considered". She has also said that the cooperation with the police was not always so "very well mannered" and straightforward.

Gallop was also played by Nancy Carroll in the 2021 TV miniseries Stephen, a drama following the fight for justice for murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence.

Gallop was a guest on Desert Island Discs on 20 October 2022.

Gallop appeared on the 2023 Paramount+ show Murder of God's Banker.

title: RAF Armoured Car Company

text:
The RAF Armoured Car Companies were part of Britain's Royal Air Force (RAF) based in Iraq, Palestine and Transjordan. They were formed to operate with aircraft squadrons to suppress insurrection and maintain peace in the area in the aftermath of World War I.

Reason For Creation
A large and expensive army was required to maintain peace in Mesopotamia after the defeat of the Ottoman Empire by the British in the Mesopotamian campaign of World War I. At the Cairo Conference (1921) it was agreed by Chief of the Air Staff Lord Trenchard and Secretary of State for the Colonies Winston Churchill that the Royal Air Force would take over control from the British Army. It was considered the security of the newly created country of Iraq could be achieved by aircraft squadrons supported by RAF armoured cars and a small number of ground forces.

Creation
In the winter of 1921/1922 airmen and officers of the RAF were assembled at RAF Heliopolis on the outskirts of Cairo in Egypt to train and form the nucleus of the RAF Armoured Car Companies.

On 19 December 1921, No.1 Armoured Car Company RAF (1 ACC) was formally established at Heliopolis and then, having become operational, moved to Palestine in May 1922. They were disbanded there on 1 December 1923 with elements being absorbed into No.2 Armoured Car Company RAF (2 ACC).
On 7 April 1922 the remaining airmen under training at RAF Heliopolis were formed into 2 ACC and a month later proceeded to Palestine & Transjordan.
In May 1922 airmen and officers assembled at RAF Manston in Kent, England, to train as armoured car crew for service in Mesopotamia (Iraq). On 14 September 1922 they set sail on the first Royal Air Force troopship from Southampton with other RAF personnel bound for Iraq.

Locations and subsequent history
In Iraq, No.3 Armoured Car Company RAF (3 ACC) was based at Basrah operating in Southern Iraq, No.5 Armoured Car Company RAF (5 ACC) at Mosul with No.4 Armoured Car Company RAF (4 ACC), No.6 Armoured Car Company RAF (6 ACC) and a headquarters in Baghdad. Armoured car lines were created at RAF Hinaidi Cantonment.

In 1924 Numbers 3 and 4 Companies were combined. In April 1927 Numbers 4, 5 & 6 Companies were disbanded with the formation of the armoured car wing at RAF Hinaidi Cantonment composed of 8 sections of armoured cars. Four sections were based at Hinaidi, one at Basrah, two at Kirkuk and one at Mosul. In April 1930 the Armoured Car Wing was disbanded and reconstituted as Number 1 Armoured Car Company RAF with headquarters, workshops and two sections based at RAF Hinaidi Cantonment, one section based at RAF Basrah and one at RAF Mosul.
In 1937 1 ACC moved from the RAF Hinaidi Cantonment to a new base at RAF Dhibban (renamed RAF Habbaniya on 1 May 1938), where it remained based until disbandment and incorporation into the RAF Regiment, on 3 October 1946.

In Palestine and Transjordan, 2 ACC remained active until disbandment and incorporation into the RAF Regiment, on 3 October 1946.

title: Job Amupanda

text:
Job Shipululo Amupanda (born 28 August 1987 in Omaalala, Oshana Region) is a Namibian activist and politician who served as Mayor of the City of Windhoek, in office from 2 December 2020 to 1 December 2021. He is an academic at the University of Namibia before he co-founded the Affirmative Repositioning movement, a movement setup by radical youth activists of the SWAPO Party Youth League in November 2014.

Early life and education
Amupanda was born in northern Namibia in Omaalala in 1987. He was raised by his grandmother Theopolina Adolf whom he used to help sell merchandise as a child.

From 2005 Amupanda studied at the University of Namibia (UNAM) where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in political science, and from 2008 served as the president of the Students' Council where he gained popularity during his tenure.

Education
In 2010 he continued his studies at Stellenbosch University where he graduated with BA Honours in political science (2010) and MA in political science (2012). He also holds a BA Honors in history from the University of South Africa. While at Stellenbosch he founded the Stellenbosch Political Science Students Association (SPOSSA) and a served as political education officer and later deputy secretary of the South African Students Congress. He dedicated his master's degree  to the children of Namibia especially those who went to school without shoes. In 2020, he graduated with a PhD in Political Studies at the University of Namibia. His dissertation titled The Consolidated Diamond Mines and the Natives in Colonial Namibia: A Critical Analysis of the Role of Illegal Diamonds and the Development of Owamboland (1908 - 1990). Amupanda was one of the few radical youths in Namibia and is very outspoken on youth matters. He scooped the Windhoek Observer 2015 award of Newsmaker of the year in the politics category where he was competing with, amongst others President Hage Geingob and went to get the Overall Newsmaker award for the year 2015.

In 2015 Amupanda started lecturing political science at his alma mater UNAM. A year later, he was appointed Deputy Dean of his faculty, the youngest at the institution at the time. Utaara Mootu, Inna Hengari, Joseph Kalimbwe and Henny Seibeb were all his students.

Activism career
Amupanda was first introduced to youth leadership when he was elected to the UNAM SRC in 2007 as secretary for information and publicity. The following year, he became president of the organisation at the age of 22.

In 2013, he joined the SWAPO Party Youth League after being elected as the SPYL secretary for mobilisation and information by the structures of youth wing. While at the party's youth organisation, he advocated for land reforms and democratisation of state institutions. However, his stance of giving land to the landless Namibians was met with disagreements within the top four of the SWAPO Party which included President Hifikepunye Pohamba, his then deputy Hage Geingob, party Secretary General Nangolo Mbumba and his deputy who together ruled to remove and expel Amupanda along with Dimbulukeni Nauyoma, George Kambala and Elijah Ngurare from the party. After his expulsion from the party, Amupanda formed the Affirmative Repositioning movement to advocate for land and other issues affecting youths in Namibia.

Personal life
On 17 August 2019, Amupanda married his long time partner, Taimi Iileka, a Sisa Namandje Incorporation lawyer in a private ceremony at his hometown village of Omaalala. Amupanda lives in Windhoek. He is an avid boxing fan and participates in boxing activities.

Affirmative Repositioning
Amupanda holds political admiration for Burkina Faso's Thomas Sankara, Zimbabwe's former president Robert Mugabe, South Africa's Steve Biko, Robert Sobukwe and Julius Malema, leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters.

In November 2014, Amupanda, Dimbulukeni Nauyoma and George Kambala, all of the SWAPO Youth League, occupied land in the affluent Klein Windhoek suburb as a means to demand land in the city, and in response to reports of corruption by the Windhoek municipality. They named their action Erf 2014 to coincide with the year of action. This move was seen by SWAPO as an illegal grab of municipal land, and all three activists were expelled. Amupanda had shortly before resigned from his position as spokesperson for the SWAPO Party Youth League.

Subsequently, Amupanda, Nauyoma and Kambala formed the Affirmative Repositioning (AR) movement. The movement mobilised thousands of young people who turned up at the City of Windhoek's head office in Windhoek and submitted over 14,000 land application forms. He successfully challenged his expulsion from the party in court and was reinstated as a party member in May 2016.

Mayor of Windhoek
In November 2019, Amupanda began to position himself for the position of Mayor of Windhoek under his organization, the Affirmative Repositioning Movement. On 2 December, following months of campaigning, he was elected Mayor of the city after the opposition voted in his favour to lead the municipality.

text:
Paul Brothers (born April 18, 1945) is a former American football quarterback in the Canadian Football League (CFL) for the BC Lions and Ottawa Rough Riders. He was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the sixteenth round of the 1967 NFL Draft. He played college football at Oregon State University.

Early years
Brothers was a two-time All-State quarterback at Roseburg High School, where he led the team to a football state championship in 1961. Following graduation in 1963, he stayed in state to play at Oregon State University in Corvallis.

College career
Brothers accepted a football scholarship from Oregon State University to play under head coach Tommy Prothro. As a sophomore, he was named the starter at quarterback after a season opener loss against Northwestern University. He would lead the Beavers to 8 wins out of the next 9 games, the Pac-8 title and the Rose Bowl, where they lost 34-7 to the Michigan Wolverines.

In his senior season in 1966, under second-year head coach Dee Andros, injuries forced him to split time with sophomore Steve Preece.

Brothers finished his career as a three-year starter, recording 184 completions out of 404 attempts	(45.5 avg.), 2,151 passing yards, 15 touchdowns, 17 interceptions, 376 carries for 1,090 yards (2.9-yard avg.) and 13 rushing touchdowns.

title: Elizabeth Stokoe

text:
Elizabeth Stokoe is a British social scientist and conversation analyst. Since January 2023, she has been Professor in the Department of Psychological and Behavioural Science at The London School of Economics and Political Science. She was previously Professor of Social Interaction at Loughborough University (2002-2022) in the Discourse and Rhetoric Group, where she remains an Honorary Professor. She has been Professor II at University of South-Eastern Norway since 2016.

Education

Stokoe graduated from the University of Central Lancashire ("Preston Poly") in 1993 with an undergraduate degree in psychology. She completed her PhD in psychology at what was then Nene College, though her PhD was accredited by Leicester University. Her supervisors were Dr. Eunice Fisher and (as external), Professor Derek Edwards. Her PhD was entitled, "Gender and Discourse in Higher Education". Stokoe collected video recordings of university tutorials, and conducted conversation analyses of the way students produced on-task talk and managed topics, as well as academic identity and the relevance of gender to interaction.

Career
After starting her lecturing career at University of Derby (1997-2000) and University of Worcester (2000-2002), Stokoe joined the (then) Department of Social Sciences at Loughborough University in October 2002. She became a Chair in 2009.

Stokoe's research is in conversation analysis, focused on understanding how social interaction works in settings from first dates to medicine and healthcare; from mediation to police crisis negotiation and emergency service calls, and from sales encounters to interaction in “SaaS” (Software as a Service) platforms and conversational user interfaces. Much of her early research focused on how people categorize themselves and each other – and resist, challenge, embrace those categorizations – in talk and text of all kinds. It examined ‘isms’ and the incredibly subtle as well as blatant ways in which power, prejudice, and inclusion/exclusion are made manifest in the details of social interaction. Another common thread in her work is the identification of effective and less effective interactional practices and their impact on the outcome of conversational encounters. She has published over 150 research outputs, including several co-authored academic books (Discourse and Identity, 2006, Conversation and Gender, 2011, Disursive Psychology: Classic and Contemporary Issues, 2016; Crisis Talk: Negotiating with Indivudials in Crisis, 2022). She is currently a co-investigator on the Economic and Social Research Council-funded Centre for Early Mathematics Learning (2022-2027) led by Professor Camilla Gilmore.

During her 20 years at Loughborough University, she was Associate Dean Research (2013-2018) for the School of Social Sciences and Humanities, and Associate Pro Vice-Chancellor (2019-2021) for REF2021.She co-edited Gender and Language from 2011 to 2014 and was an Associate Editor of British Journal of Social Psychology from 2009 to 2014. She launched the journal Mediation Theory and Practice in 2016.

Between 2008-2011, Stokoe developed the Conversation Analytic Role-play Method (CARM), an approach to communications skills training based on conversation analytic research evidence about what sorts of problems and roadblocks can occur in conversation, as well as the communicative practices that resolve them. Stokoe developed CARM as a challege or corrective to other kinds of communication training including role-play and simulation. CARM won a Wired Innovation Fellowship 2015.

Stokoe is passionate about translating research in conversation analysis for wider audiences and she has spoken at many science festivals and events including at Microsoft, Google, TED, Latitude Festival, and The Royal Institution, and featured on BBC Radio 4’s “The Life Scientific” and “Word of Mouth." Her book, Talk: The Science of Conversation, was published in 2018 (Little, Brown). Since 2008, she has worked extensively with external partners across public, third, and private sectors, and been a industry fellow at Typeform and Deployed. During the Covid-19 pandemic, she participated in the Policing and Security subgroup of the Independent Scientific Pandemic Insights Group on Behaviours (SPI-B), which provided independent, expert behavioural science advice to the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE). She is also a member of Independent SAGE's behaviour group. She became an Hononary Fellow of the British Psychological Society, awarded for distinguished service in the field of psychology, in 2021.
