Dr Stephen Gibb | Decent Work in Social Care | 8th September 2021
Topic: Decent Work in Social Care
Speaker: Dr Stephen Gibb
Date: 8th September 2021 Time: 1pm to 2pm
Watch Dr Stephen Gibb's seminar
In 2020, the Covid-19 virus pandemic has highlighted the long-standing challenges of resourcing and managing social care, in particular old age care. Better supporting the social care sector has become a commitment which few do not embrace. However, besides the quality of social care, the job quality of care workers is important. Do they enjoy 'decent work'?
Decent work is about pay that allows a life without the risk of poverty, about job security and paid sick leave, about being in a job that is socially recognised and valued; it is about having supportive managers and colleagues and about having a say about what is done at work and how. It is about purpose and meaning and a work environment that is safe for physical and mental health and that allows people to progress and use their skills and abilities.
In this session, Stephen will be discussing how 'decent work' for social care can become a reality via his research.
Dr Stephen Gibb is a Reader in Human Resource & Organization Development at the University of the West of Scotland. He has a breadth and depth of research and publications, alongside extensive experience in consulting and advising organisations and managers. Stephen's recent research includes decent work in Scotland, critically exploring what matters most and who can make a difference. Social care work became a major focus of this in the last year. He is also the director of the UWS Social Innovation, Leadership & Management (SIL&M) research group, addressing global challenges of fairer, wealthier, dynamic economies and thriving societies through leaders and managers in the private, public and third sectors as agents of change.
Dr Paul Joseph-Richard | What do Doctoral Researchers need to flourish? The science of getting from where you are to where you want to be | 22nd September 2021
Topic: What do Doctoral Researchers need to flourish? The science of getting from where you are to where you want to be
Speaker: Dr Paul Joseph-Richard
Date: 22nd September 2021 Time: 1pm to 2.30pm
Watch Dr Paul Joseph-Richard's seminar
Doctoral researchers' wellbeing has become as an important area in doctoral education research, policy and practice. Recent research (Hazel et al. 2020; Nature, 2019; Evans et al. 2018) indicates that there has been an increase in mental health challenges faced by PhD students as they navigate "the traditionally isolated and highly competitive doctoral environment" (Pretorius, Macaulay & Cahusac de Caux, 2019, p. 289). In the literature, the majority of research focusses on non-completers who have given up their studies. However, in this presentation, Paul focuses on his research undertaken with successful PhD students and presents what helped them to complete their studies (McCray & Joseph-Richard, 2020; 2021). The content will include the stressors the doctoral students experienced, and how they learnt to cope with them, sustained their well-being and flourished during the Doctoral programme. As part of the session, Paul will identify four of the most well-established protective factors of resilience.
Dr Paul Joseph-Richard is a lecturer in Human Resource Management (HRM) at Ulster University Business School.

Professor Debbie Tolson | Dementia Research: Everyone's Business | 6th October 2021
Topic: Dementia Research: Everyone's Business
Speaker: Professor Debbie Tolson
Date: 6th October 2021 Time: 1pm to 2pm
Watch Professor Debbie Tolson's seminar
Dementia touches all of our lives. It is one of the most feared conditions associated with ageing, giving rise to disease burden and everyday challenges in living. Over 50 million people globally have some form of dementia, predicted to increase to 82 million by 2030. But not all who have dementia are old, in the UK, of the 850,000 people living with dementia, 40,000 are diagnosed under the age of 65 years. In the early stages of illness, people with dementia can live relatively well and independent lives. As dementia progresses and both brain and bodily health deteriorate the complexity of symptoms increase as does dependency.
At the Alzheimer Scotland Centre for Policy and Practice (ASCPP), we believe that people with dementia and family carers deserve the best possible care and support. We invite you to join with us in making the world a better place for people affected by dementia, through pioneering new approaches and innovations to help people to live the best life possible. If you feel your research and enterprise expertise and interests could potentially contribute to developing interdisciplinary collaborations that would support people affected by dementia to live the best life possible, or you just want to know more, this talk is for you.
Following a scene setting introduction about dementia and dementia care, we will highlight the key messages for academics and business within Scotland's first national Brain Health and Dementia Research Strategy (launched in July). Innovative current project examples, presented by Dr Louise Ritchie and Dr Rhoda Macrae will help you to see how your ideas can be developed with and for people affected by dementia.
Professor Debbie Tolson is an Alzheimer Scotland Professor of Dementia and Director of the Alzheimer Scotland Centre for Policy and Practice in the University of the West of Scotland. Professor Tolson has an international reputation as a nurse leader, educator and applied researcher.

Dr Abeer Hassan | Developing the hidden curriculum for PhD students | 3rd November 2021
Topic: Developing the hidden curriculum for PhD students
Speaker: Dr Abeer Hassan Date: 3rd November 2021 Time: 1pm to 2pm
Watch Dr abeer hassan's seminar
The doctorate is a huge and complex undertaking which requires a range of support beyond academic foundations. The exchange between official and hidden curriculum is therefore key, not just for achieving the qualification, but to also achieve transformative growth. The "hidden curriculum" highlights the unofficial channels of genuine learning typically acquired by doctoral students independent of the physical and metaphorical walls of academia. It explains in detail how the training and learning process that have taken place during the PhD journey, highly evaluated as genuine pedagogical spaces of learning can be expanded to meet learners' academic, personal, social, and physiological needs. Abeer Hassan will be sharing how her research is useful in preparing PhD students for the teaching/administration experience and increasing their employability after graduation.

Topic: Using mixed methods in management research: A tale of two studies
Speaker: Dr Karen Maher
Date: 17th November 2021 Time: 1pm to 2.30pm
Watch Dr karen maher's seminar
Using mixed methods can provide researchers with a better understanding of a phenomena than a single method in isolation with the central premise that the strengths of each method offset the weaknesses of the other. However, there are methodological decisions to navigate prior to embarking on mixed methods research to avoid it being used as a catch all and attempting to reconcile conflicting philosophical and theoretical lenses.
In this session, Karen will illustrate how she has used mixed methods in her own research using two studies to illustrate different approaches to data collection and integration. When designing and conducting her mixed methods research there were general and personal challenges to overcome, and she will discuss how she came to a resolution which will be of use to those new to mixed methods research when designing their own projects.
Dr Karen Maher is a Chartered Psychologist with the British Psychological Society and a Senior Lecturer in Occupational Psychology at Nottingham Trent University. Her work specialises in Occupational Health Psychology, in particular the link between health/wellbeing and work, how they interact, interventions to improve health/wellbeing in the workplace especially in high-risk occupations, and the interface between work and non-work. Her most recent work has assessed the wearing of body armour in the UK Police Service with a particular focus on female officers (funded by HSSRC), explored problematic substance use in midwifery, and evaluated the impact of extended shift working on Firefighters' wellbeing and operational performance.

Watch Eileen Conlan, Jim Johnston & Ron Livingstone's seminar
Knowledge Transfer Projects (KTPs) and Management Knowledge Transfer Projects (mKTPs) are government funded projects that develop academic access to live businesses where the academic support team brings new skills and resources to the company. The government backed scheme is proposed to help businesses innovate and grow.
How does the scheme work?
Each KTP is a three-way partnership between a business, an academic institution and a graduate. The academic institution employs the recently qualified graduate who works at the company. The graduate, known as the 'associate', brings new skills and knowledge to the business.
A KTP can last between 12 and 36 months depending on the project and the needs of the business. It is part-funded by a grant. The amount businesses need to contribute is different for SMEs and larger companies.
In this session, Eileen, Jim and Ron will speak about Knowledge Transfer Projects (KTPs) and Management Knowledge Transfer Projects (mKTPs). They will outline:
The application processes.
The challenges and benefits of working on both KTPS and mKTPs.
Keeping all stakeholders happy (Government, Company, UWS and the associate).
Research opportunities.
Tips for a successful project.

Dr Christian Harrison |Entrepreneurial leadership: a skill-based analysis |12th January 2022
Topic: Entrepreneurial leadership: a skill-based analysis
Speaker: Dr Christian Harrison
Date: 12th January 2022 Time: 1pm to 2pm
Watch Dr CHRISTIAN HARRISON's seminar
Entrepreneurial leadership is an emerging paradigm from the domains of leadership and entrepreneurship. While both fields of leadership and entrepreneurship have developed considerable bodies of research spanning several decades, independently the concepts have achieved little definitional consensus. Although entrepreneurial leadership has received little attention, it has been acknowledged as an evolving approach to leadership towards achieving strategic value creation. However, despite the growing interest and developing perspectives related to entrepreneurial leadership, empirical development of the concept has been hindered by the lack of focused research and the absence of adequate tools towards assessing a leader's entrepreneurial skill set.
To address this gap, Christian's study provides a critical examination of the concept of entrepreneurial leadership. He will be providing the associated entrepreneurial leadership skills required for success. His study offers the first empirical skill-based model of this phenomenon and has had strong implications in theory and practice.
Dr Christian Harrison is Reader in Leadership in the School of Business and Creative Industries in the University of the West of Scotland.

Professor Mark Loon | Business Model Innovation |26th January 2022
Topic: Business Model Innovation
Speaker: Professor Mark Loon
Date: 26th January 2022 Time: 1pm to 2.30pm
Watch PROFESSOR MARK LOON's seminar
The growth of research on business model innovation (BMI) has been on an upward trajectory since the early 2000s. A quick search on Scopus shows that publications on the topic has increased annually, except in two years, in the last 21 years. BMI also appears to be a highly popular topic on the Internet. A quick search on Google of the term results in returns with 2.3 million, whereas 'business model' returns with about 177 million hits. BMI is quite a 'versatile' topic as well. Whilst it has been largely studied in the field of strategic management and innovation, researchers from other fields (e.g., entrepreneurship, marketing and tourism) have also used the construct in their investigations. BMI has been used as the central focus in studies and as a secondary construct e.g. moderating variable (quantitative study) and contextual setting (qualitative research).
Given the research published in this area, has studies on BMI reached 'saturation'? Is it still a fruitful area of research? If so, what are the promising research trajectories in relation to the topic? Mark will be exploring these questions and more.

Topic: Enterprising institutions & ecosystems: post-pandemic implications for classrooms and communities
Speaker: Dr Robert James Crammond
Date: 23rd March 2022 Time: 1pm to 2pm
Watch Dr Robert james crammond
With the progression of contextual and practical studies of enterprise and entrepreneurship in recent years, business schools and universities overall are embracing both skills-based and venture creation forms of entrepreneurship education. This encourages a shift in the resources allocated towards enterprise-related teaching and research activities, the creation of new academic programmes and teaching teams, and the nature and modes of course delivery: whether it be on campus, hybrid, or distance. However, the impact of the recent COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected how forms of this education was delivered and has widened the debate on the strengths of the university across academic and support departments, in becoming productive entrepreneurial institutions, as a social and economic change agent for its students and region.
During this seminar, Robert shall discuss the advancing concept of the entrepreneurial university and the higher educational relationships with stakeholders and communities, with a particular focus on the Scottish and wider UK context. He will also highlight, as universities engage in post-pandemic approaches to both on and off campus delivery and support to students, the impact this shall have on various aspects of entrepreneurship education and a university's ongoing entrepreneurial efforts. This reflects on recent, empirical investigation concerning student experiences, pedagogical perspectives gauged from academics and researchers, as well as addressing the viewpoints of surrounding stakeholder groups within education, industry, and governmental policy.
Dr Robert James Crammond is a Senior Lecturer in Enterprise at the University of the West of Scotland. Originally from an accountancy background, his academic interests lie in enterprise and entrepreneurship education, and progressing contemporary, enterprise-centric stakeholder theory.

The demands of an academic job seem to have increased in the last decade. You are expected to be an extraordinary teacher, a creative and critical pedagogue, a world-leader researcher with projects that will transform communities and organisations, an attentive personal tutor in your pastoral care activities, an income generator, and an effective administrator. Indeed, the multiplicity of roles within the same job have the potential to scare some brilliant people away from Higher Education.
In this seminar, Sandro will explore ideas for potential converging agendas that can help you to keep bureaucrats 'away' while you shape your own career path as you wish. Now, he may fail miserably in this attempt, but you will only know if you come along!

Although the recent outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic has registered unimaginable challenges, suffering, pain, stress, depression, mental health problems and death globally, the extent to which lessons could be drawn to inform current People Management practices from developing economies' contexts and perspectives has been a neglected area of mainstream western Management discourse.
In this talk, John highlights the key challenges to SMEs in both developed and emerging economies and focus more on the latter with the aim of rethinking and reconceptualising Management practice in situations that are infrastructurally, materially, financially and humanly challenged. Potential lessons of how not to manage are drawn using case studies and some innovative insights of how to manage during a pandemic are extracted to inform current Management practice and theory Reflections on a future research agenda are considered.

Speaker: Prof Dominic Elliott
Date: 18th May 2022 Time: 1pm to 2pm
Watch Prof Dominic Elliott's seminaR
As the Covid-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on organisations globally, now more than ever, it has become imperative for leaders to possess qualities and expertise to lead organisations through crises. The pandemic has created opportunities for organisational innovation and creativity and leaders must be able to take advantage of these opportunities for survival.
In this session, Dominic will engage in a crisis management discourse that is informed by theory and practice. The importance of managing crisis in these unprecedented times of great risks and threats will be discussed.

Dr Wojciech Kwiatkowski | The messiness of IT service delivery | 1st June 2022
Topic: The messiness of IT service delivery: A knowledge/knowing-based explanation
Speaker: Dr Wojciech Kwiatkowski
Date: 1st June 2022 Time: 1pm to 2pm
Watch Dr Wojciech Kwiatkowski's seminaR
IT services firms fall underneath the umbrella of knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS) firms. In short, such firms can been defined as business organisations which collect, transform and apply technical and/or professional knowledge to solve strategic problems faced by their clients, who often participate in the development of the service solution (Bettencourt et al., 2002; Lehrer et al., 2012). However, the view of KIBS as 'knowledge providers' has been criticised for being rooted in a naïve and functional understanding of knowledge. This limitation also contributed to a rather simplistic portrayal of the service delivery process (Alvesson, 2004).
In this session, Wojciech will build on the above critique by discussing the results of an abductive analysis of the organising of service delivery in a specialist IT consultancy. With the help of three theoretical lenses derived from cognitive-subjective (e.g. Nonaka & Takeuchi, 1995) and practice theory-based (e.g. Lave & Wenger, 1991, Nicolini, Gherardi & Yanow, 2015) literature on organisational knowledge and learning, he will explore the messiness of IT service delivery, which stems from the uncertainty and complex power relations inherent in the knowledge and knowing involved in the service delivery process.
Dr Wojciech Marek Kwiatkowski is a Lecturer in Business and Management at the School of Business & Creative Industries, University of the West of Scotland. Having become disillusioned with managerialist accounts of organisational life in course of completing his PhD at the Alliance Manchester Business School, University of Manchester, he now draws on practice theorising to explore organisational knowledge and learning, technology design, effects of new technologies on work and organising, and the power relations inherent in all of them. He also has an interest in scrutinising the harmony and dissonance between scholarly accounts of knowing and the knowing involved in research practice.
Dr Samuel White and Susannah Paul | Litigating Children's Rights | 15th June 2022
Topic: Litigating Children's Rights: Use of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in UK courts
Speaker: Dr Samuel White and Susannah Paul
Date: 15th June 2022 Time: 1pm to 2pm
Watch Dr White and Paul's seminaR
The UK has signed and ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). But, apart from Scotland, where an attempt to incorporate the UNCRC into domestic law was stalled by legal challenge, the UK has not attempted to translate the rights protected as a matter of international law into the domestic setting. This means that the rights protected by the UNCRC are not enforceable in UK courts. Nevertheless, courts sometimes use the instrument in limited circumstances.
In this session, Samuel and Susannah will explain these circumstances by combining doctrinal analysis of what the law says with insights from quantitative socio-legal research and qualitative empirical research. They will develop a detailed understanding of the current legal position.
Through this presentation, more knowledge will be gained to encourage and enable wider and more successful use of the UNCRC, leading to improved outcomes for those seeking to secure children's rights.
Dr Samuel White is a Lecturer in Law in the School of Business and Creative Industries at the University of the West of Scotland. He completed his LL.B. (Hons) at the University of Dundee before working in risk and compliance in the financial services sector. In 2017, he returned to academia to complete a PhD at the University of Dundee funded by the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland. Samuel's doctoral research investigated the impact of incorporation of human rights treaties in UK domestic law, examining the changes brought about by the Human Rights Act 1998 on human rights protection in the UK. He has presented this research at conferences around the world, and evidence based on this research was recently cited by the UK Parliament's Joint Committee on Human Rights in its report on an inquiry on the Government's Independent Review of the Human Right Act. Samuel's research interests include the interaction between UK constitutional law and the protection of human rights as well as the interface between domestic and international law in respect of human rights. In addition to research on the UK's human rights treaty compliance, he is developing research into the use of unincorporated treaties by UK judges in their decision-making.
Susannah Paul is a Lecturer in Law in the School of Business and Creative Industries at the University of the West of Scotland. She completed her LL.B. (Hons) at the University of Glasgow. Following her LL.B., Susannah received a 1+3 scholarship from the Arts and Humanities Research Council Project 'Researching Multilingually at Borders'. Susannah received thorough training in qualitative research methods during her MRes in Equality and Human Rights and is currently writing up her PhD at the University of Glasgow. Her PhD research examines adversarialism in the Immigration and Asylum Tribunal and employs observational and interview data to consider how hearings are conducted in reality. Susannah is interested in using socio-legal methodologies to produce impactful research and enjoys engaging in projects which consider questions relating to human rights and access to justice.

Speaker: Dr Kingsley Omeihe
Date: 29th June 2022 Time: 1pm to 2:30pm
Watch Dr Kingsley Omeihe's seminaR
There is a pronounced paucity of empirically rigorous study that focuses on the impact of trust on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating in a developing market context. In this session, Kingsley offers a fresh perspective on the simultaneous relationship between trust and distrust by exploring the complex process through which they are developed. Constructed in the assumptions of multidimensionality and the inherent tensions of relationships, the design of his study is interpretive, following an emergent iterative process, where three distinct types of trust, cognitive-based trust, affect-based trust and calculus-based trust were considered as critical components for successful SME relationships.
Kingsley through his findings facilitates a better understanding of the distinct types of trust and distrust that underpin SME relationships, particularly in Africa. This event contributes to the ongoing debate over the two contrary yet complementary opposites of trust and distrust, and their ability to provide explanations to economic activity.
Dr Kingsley Omeihe is Head of Discipline (Business Management) at the Business School of the University of Aberdeen. He received his diploma from the University of Cambridge, his MBA from the University of Aberdeen and PhD from the Doctoral College of the University of the West of Scotland.

Dr Bernard Boateng | Crisis management and Business continuity of family firms | 13th July 2022
Topic: Crisis management and Business continuity of family firms: Are African Businesses in the UK conscious of their environmental opportunities? Speaker: Dr Bernard Boateng Date: 13th July 2022 Time: 1pm to 2pm
Watch Dr Bernard Boateng's seminaR
Family businesses are known to be effective when it comes to crisis management and business continuity due to the flexibility and emotional attachment to their operations (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2011; Berrone et al., 2010). In the case of UK family businesses, the environmental strengths and opportunities provide businesses with additional reasons to survive the crisis and continue to operate. Conversely, African family businesses which are mostly micro businesses have a high failure rate in the UK.
In this session, Bernard will explore how these African micro businesses are using their strengths as family businesses and most importantly how they are utilising the environmental opportunities provided in the UK. The discussion will be informed by theory and practice.

Dr Narayan Bhattarai | Digitalisation experience of UK resource-constrained firms Speaker | 28th September 2022
Speaker: Dr Narayan Bhattarai
Full Title: Digitalisation experience of UK resource-constrained firms
watch dr narayan's seminar here
This presentation will shed light on the digitalisation experience of UK resource-constrained firms. The everchanging digital innovation and the unprecedented pandemic shock forced business transformation through digitalisation, an essential developmental step within the corporate sector. However, it is currently a necessary innovation for ethnic entrepreneurship. Many studies have focused on digitalisation compulsion, but due to lack of technological knowledge and limited resources, ethnic minority-led businesses that are already deficient in resources are also added with technostress. Regardless, they are pushed to adapt to the cutting-edge technologies and have thus started learning their deployment by force.
Dr Bhattarai investigates the digital behaviour of ethnic minority entrepreneurs in the UK to address the potential that digitalisation holds within entrepreneurial business activities by describing the interconnection with the concept of innovation as a foundation. This basis was supported by interviews of 31 ethnic minority entrepreneurs pre and during the Covid-19 pandemic. Their cultural, digital experience and technology knowledge-related challenges and progress during digital entrepreneurial practices were thus, identified and explored. The findings showed that a lack of awareness about the digitalisation process is a major hindrance they currently face, and effective digitalisation relies on cultural belief, digital experiences and technological knowledge.
Dr Bhattarai is a lecturer in Business and Management in the Division of Management, Organisations and People at the University of the West of Scotland. He is a well-recognised contributor to promoting research, teaching, administrative, consultancy and enterprising activities within and beyond the United Kingdom. He has over 20 years of experience teaching and leading in further and higher education both in the UK and overseas.

Despite many efforts by the government and citizens of the United Kingdom to address food insecurity and poverty, available data on diet-related health, food quality, affordability and accessibility indicate the situation to be worsening. The effects of recent events such as the country's final exit from the European Union, the COVID19 pandemic and the Russian-Ukrainian conflict have further accentuated this.
Emmanuel will discuss the role logistics and supply chain management could play in addressing this challenge by presenting a map of the food supply chain that serves disadvantaged consumers to identify the infrastructure, processes, key challenges and supply chain solutions.

The recent UK "Mini-Budget" has highlighted the conflicts and trade-offs inherent in macroeconomic policy making. This presentation will discuss some of these trade-offs including inter alia: fiscal and monetary policy interactions; open economy effects such as on the exchange rate and subsequent impact on interest rates; financial market responses; future prospects for government expenditure and borrowing; and impact on economic growth and income distribution.
Professor Struthers will discuss these issues in the context of established economic theories including: the Laffer Curve; the Open Economy Trilemma Curve; and the Kuznets Curve which depicts income distribution trade-offs with economic growth. Discussion of these concepts will help to shed much needed light on the current challenges of managing the UK economy which have been described by many commentators as a "perfect storm" of crises!

Watch dr hala mansour's seminar here
Commentators agree on the nature of many changes sweeping through the Higher Education sector in the UK. For example: increasing student numbers; growing competition; new modes of funding; multifarious performance evaluation and audit frameworks.
They also tend to agree that universities' responses include becoming more business-like, market orientated, hierarchical and consumer focused; all of which have implications for the role and status of academics. However, there is considerable disagreement about how to conceptualise these developments. Hence there is reference variously to massification, marketisation, managerialism and the audit society inter alia.
In this session, Hala will explore these issues with reference to a qualitative research study, which unusually concerns the views of university managers rather than academics: in this case, HR Directors.

Topic: How to Publish Qualitative Research?
Speaker: Dr Kalyan Bhandari
Date: 7th December 2022 Time: 1pm to 2pm
Watch DR KALYAN BHANDARI'S seminar HERE
Publishing qualitative research is challenging for a variety of reasons, one of which is related to the perception that analysis in qualitative research is inherently subjective. This is partly because there is no 'uniform rule' on how data should be presented and partly because of the key importance of language and writing skills. The meaning and interpretations of data can depend largely on the individual researcher and their proficiency of expression. The above qualities necessitate a need for serious consideration when preparing qualitative manuscripts. It demands a high level of engagement with previous literature, a rigorous methodology, and requires a very high level of analysis and critical thinking skills, the lack of any of which will likely return a review that the manuscript is descriptive and lacks objectivity.
In this presentation, Dr Bhandari draws from his own experience of publishing qualitative research in well-respected journals and identifies key areas that needs to be considered when preparing qualitative manuscripts for publication.
Dr Kalyan Bhandari is a Senior Lecturer in Marketing, Events and Tourism in the School of Business and Creative Industries at University of the West of Scotland. His research interests are on tourism at heritage sites, governments and tourism public policies, national identity and nationalism, and environment and regional development. He completed his PhD on Scottish tourism from the University of Glasgow and maintains equal research interest on Scottish tourism and on society and culture of his native Nepal. He has authored two books on tourism, nationalism and national identity. He has published nearly 20 papers in leading journals like, Annals of Tourism Research, Environment and Planning C and Current Issues in Tourism.

Topic: A Man's Got to Know His Limitations
Speaker: Dr Ian Stewart
Date: 7th December 2022 Time: 1pm to 2:30pm
Watch DR IAN STEWART'S seminar HERE
Autoethnography is an approach to research that seeks to describe and systematically analyse personal experience in order to understand cultural experience. This approach challenges canonical ways of doing research and representing others and treats research as a political, socially-just and socially conscious act (Ellis et al., 2011)
In this session, Ian will present an autoethnography of teaching post-experience students over almost 20 years. This includes a "failure of established, habitual activities to ensure success" (Laverty, 2003), which came at a high cost to the author and caused him to re-evaluate his identity as a successful teacher of post-experience education.
The comparison of autoethnographic accounts of four specific points in his career leads to an identification of the causes and conditions of his unexpectedly discovered limitations and then, a return to confident performance. From this emerges recommendations for those who are new to teaching post-experience students and those who employ them.
Dr Ian Stewart is a Reader in Project Management Education and Programme Manager of the MSc in Management of Projects in the University of Manchester. Additionally, he lectures in Commercial Management of Projects. This subject first brought him to the school in 2001 through teaching on the bespoke UMIST BT MSc in Commercial Management. A PhD in this area followed, which was a combination of historical research into the descent of the Commercial Manager into project-led organisations such as BT, RR & BAE and the practice of innovation within the commercial role in those firms. From this, he claims the distinction of holding the last UMIST PhD. The history of British industrial management from 1850, particularly social mobility, vertical integration and the resistance of Schools of Engineering to commercial and management education remains a research interest. Following disenchantment with the I.T. industry and the .com boom, Ian has been falling towards academia and along the way has developed extensive interdisciplinary experience, contextualising business and management education for engineering, projectised and high technology contexts. Ian holds visiting lectureships at Ecole d'Ingnieurs en Genie des Systmes Industriels, La Rochelle, WMG University of Warwick and Manchester Business School. Ian is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

Wayne Treacy's Fate Now In Jury's Hands

Wayne Treacy in court for the first day of jury selection on June 26, 2012. (CBS4)
FORT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) – Closing arguments finished late Friday afternoon in the case of Wayne Treacy, the teen charged in the savage attack on Josie Lou Ratley two years ago which left her with permanent brain damage.
Treacy attacked Ratley on March 17th, 2010 at the bus stop in front of Deerfield Beach Middle School after a heated exchange of text messages. Both were 15-years old at the time.
"Her life changed forever because of the viciousness of this young man, Wayne Treacy," stated prosecutor Maria Schneider during her closing arguments.
Prosecutors point the finger of blame squarely at Treacy who's on trial for attempted murder. Two years ago, he kicked and stomped Josie Lou Ratley's head while wearing steel toed boots.
"What do you think steel toed boots do to a brain? If experiencing trauma can make a difference forever what do you think being kicked, stomped, having your head bashed into the ground repeatedly does to your brain?" said Schneider.
Treacy does not deny that he did it. He claims he was suffering from post traumatic stress disorder brought on by seeing his brother's body hanging from a tree when he committed suicide 5 months earlier. He said he went into a rage after a heated text message exchange with Josie Ratley and that it boiled over when Ratley brought up his dead brother.
"There are millions and millions and millions of people who suffer mental illness and they don't kill people, they don't try to kill people," emphasized Schneider.

Treacy's attorneys argued his mental illness was so acute that he was legally insane and not only did he suffer from PTSD, but when the attack happened, he didn't even remember it until someone told him afterwards.
Alexander Neumeister, a psychologist who testified for the defense, said Treacy was in a dissociative state and had no idea what he was doing and even had amnesia.
During his closing argument, defense attorney Kenneth Russell reiterated that point.
"By definition if somebody dissociates, then they are mentally ill and if they do a criminal act at that time, they would be insane because it's an altered state of consciousness," said Russell. "Don't be afraid by public opinion or public perception to come back with a verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity, don't be afraid that by doing that, there is nobody accountable for Josie Ratley's injuries."
Treacy, now 17, has admitted that he rode a bike to the school to confront Ratley after receiving a text message from her phone telling him to "go visit" his dead brother. Ratley was apparently angry that Treacy was going out with her friend, Kayla Manson, who was years younger than him.
"Stop texting my phone rapist, and if you don't care, just stop trying me, k? and just go visit your dead brother," Ratley texted Treacy.
The jury is expected to begin deliberations on Monday.

Imagine a world where your dinner ingredients are delivered in a box.
....and cooked it right up!
Blue Apron is a pretty cool website, and it really helps when your amazing friend gives you a free trial. With that one albeit huge box, I had three meals just waiting to be prepared. I will say that there was way too much packaging included. Yet it seems to solve some main cooking frustrations - grocery shopping, choosing what to buy, having too much of one ingredient, etc. It definitely has kept me from going out as much as I might have this week. I also wouldn't have thought of making the three dishes for this week: Manhattan Fish Chowder, Chicken Shawarma with tzatziki, hummus and beet salad and Braised Carrots, Mushrooms and Brussels Sprouts with Creamy Polenta. Yum!

Sweeney backing Jones in Democratic state chair fight: 'I think LeRoy unites the party'
Although it isn't a shock, New Jersey Senate President Steve Sweeney (D-3) is backing LeRoy Jones in his bid to unseat John Currie as the New Jersey Democratic State Committee chair.
"Well, look, I support LeRoy Jones, I've known him a long time: I think LeRoy unites the party. Obviously this divide has taken place during Chairman Currie's term," Sweeney told HCV after an NJ Transit Senate Committee hearing at the Hoboken Terminal last night.
"Listen, I was the one who endorsed him [Currie] to be the chair last time. It's time to bring the party together. We're Democrats, we fight, it happens, you know that. But I think it's time for new leadership so that we can come together."
Jones, the Essex County Democratic Committee Chair, and Currie, also the Passaic County Democratic Committee Chair, both announced they were seeking the post with the statewide organization on Tuesday after weeks of speculation.
Both candidates emphasized that they believe they have the votes to win, where 49.5 is the magic number out of 113 NJDSC votes.
However, Jones is widely reported to have the upper hand after he received the surprise endorsement of Ocean County Democratic Chair Wyatt Earp, NJ Globe first wrote.
Nevertheless, Gov. Phil Murphy (D), who has battled with Sweeney on a multitude of issues during his first two years in office, remains a staunch supporter of Currie and NJDSC Vice Chair Peg Schaffer – evidence in an email blast sent out yesterday morning.
"If you support me, if you support my agenda of making our state stronger and fairer, and if you support Democratic Party unity, then you must also support John Currie and Peg Schaffer," Murphy wrote.
"We must stand up to this attack on the grassroots activists, loyal Democrats and party leaders who work hard year after year to elect Democrats. The entire state, and even the nation, is watching this decision. I ask that you stand with me in supporting John and Peg."
Hudson County Democratic Organization Chair Amy DeGise endorsed Currie, the NJSDC chair since 2013, back in December, calling him an "incredible mentor."

The basic formula the book follows is:1: Heres some weird things we used to think about fitness. 2: Heres what we know now. 3: That's why Cross-Fit is the best. (Repeat)Some of the history parts were very interesting, but it did get a bit tedious at times.
You know that person at work who can't stop talking about CrossFit? Give them this book, on the condition they never talk about it with you again. I was really looking forward to the history of exercise, but couldn't get past the author's love of CrossFit (it's New Frontier Fitness!) and personal philosophy about exercise. I loved a book about the history of curry and loved it, and couldn't finish this.
There is a lot of interesting information in this book though it does get dry at times. I particularly liked learning about the intersection of feminism and fitness culture, that was new to me.
Fascinating Look at Fitness A must read just for the historical aspects of fitness and exercise alone! Fascinating to read that the women's lib movement of the 60s and 70s was instrumental in the fitness boom of the 80s and beyond. Using this book for research into my own book being self-published in 2018.

If you have ever wondered what is fitness? Why are Crossfitters crazy? Why do some many people run? This is an excellent book to answer those questions and more.
There's some good stuff here, but an odd structure to the book. I would have preferred a little more linear history, rather than a constant return/comparison to Crossfit.
5 stars for the historical research and presentation.1 star for the incessant praise of Crossfit. Also, I'm not a fan of the phrase, "New Frontier Fitness".Balance it all out at 3 stars.
Thoroughly researched with a fascinating history of fitness culture throughout the ages and how the newest crossfit fitness trend fits into our continued desire to improve ourselves on more than just an aesthetic level.
This book was ok. I found it interesting enough to finish, but I did skim quite a bit of it. Some of the history seemed pretty repetitive. I guess I just expected it to be more of the author's story as he found his journey to fitness, but it really was a lot of history. In the end I felt like it was a big advertisement for CrossFit - which is great, just different from what I expected. I can't say I would recommend it unless you really want to know the history of exercise.
History of strength and fitness from a Crossfit perspective (emphasis on strength-fitness).

East Boston High Health Center Opens Officially, Already Changing Lives
by Times Staff • October 6, 2016 • 0 Comments
Easti Boston High senior Yvan Martinez embraces Paula McNabb Ippolito on Thursday, Sept. 29, during the ribbon cutting of the East Boston High School-based Health Center, operated officially now by East Boston Neighborhood Health Center (EBNHC). Martinez said he turned to the health center when he found himself homeless, and the help he got changed his life forever.
By Seth Daniel
When East Boston High School senior Yvan Martinez became homeless a little while ago, there weren't many places he could turn for the basics – such as food, shelter and health care.
However, with the East Boston High School Health Center (EBNHC) in place, operated in the school on a pilot basis at the time by East Boston Neighborhood Health Center, Martinez said he got access to health care, counseling and the friendship of caring adults who helped him through a tough time and changed his life.
"Some time ago I was homeless," he said, quieting the room at the high school health center's ribbon cutting last Thursday, Sept. 29. "When you're in that situation at my age, you're truly hopeless and hungry. During a time like that, you have to decide if you want to keep fighting or if you want to give up. I decided to keep fighting, but I didn't know how. I had to ask for help. I asked for help in getting the basic things. I'm in school here, so I had access to education. I had a friend who let me live with him, so I had food and shelter. Then I found health care at the health center. Going there was something that changed my life forever and was so much more than I could have ever imagined. If it wasn't for Paula at the health center, I don't know if I would have made it through that time."
In addition to making it through, Martinez has excelled – serving as an Umana Scholar for Councilor Sal LaMattina last year and being able to travel to Washington, D.C., on an educational trip. All of those things have opened his eyes up to a brighter future, he said, and changed the course of his life.
EBNHC CEO Manny Lopes said that making the health center official and building out a new facility there is exactly in line with the mission of EBNHC.
"For us, this is our opportunity to continue our vision and meet our patients where they are at," he said. "In this case, it's the 1,500 students who attend high school. This is meeting the students and our patients where they're at."
School officials were also very complimentary of the center.
"The opportunity and the services here are something we would like to be replicated throughout the City, but now is a very special opportunity in East Boston," said Tommy Welch, instructional superintendent for Boston Public Schools. "I look forward to expanding these opportunities for our students."
East Boston High Principal Phil Brangiforte said making the center official in the Center allows more kids to see the doctor.
"We've always had the school-based health center, but it was never official," he said. "They would always see our kids, but they would eventually have to refer them…No matter where a child lives in the City or if they have health insurance, if they are a student of East Boston High School, they will be seen."
The health center is open during school hours and provides services such as sports physicals, immunizations, chronic health issues like asthma, headaches, sore throats, sexual health like STD treatment and birth control counseling, and emotion issues like depression, anxiety and sexual identity. There are also counseling services for things like pregnancy prevention and healthy eating and healthy lifestyles.

I am blessed with three wonderful children. The oldest two are now over twenty, and my youngest is 7 months old. As an older father, I've experienced a sense of déja vu and even surprise when I can do something really well on the first attempt, such as swaddling or changing a diaper, even though I had totally forgotten that I knew how to do it.
But one thing I still absolutely can't understand, twenty years later, is baby fashion. Seriously, who makes all these ugly baby clothes?
My wife sent me clothes shopping the other day, and it was a tough mission.
In my view, most baby clothes are plain ugly. They feature staggering color combinations that make disco lights look dull. From baby-shirts to pants, blouses to bibs, everything is plastered with weird looking creatures. A dreadful pink bear with a scary smile, an oversized violet dog with a square snout and brown stripes, a red elephant with blue polka dots and a yellow palm tree. How would YOU like to wear this to anything other than a Halloween party?
My daughter has piercing blue eyes, and we love to dress her in matching blue (if we can find anything without a printed tractor, a car, or a sailboat, which is tough). Of course, every person we meet in the street or in the park admires our "cute little boy".
And I can't understand baby clothes sizes! In the US, baby clothes are indicated with "NB – 3 months", "3-6 months", or "12-18 months" etc. This sizing can only make sense to people who don't have children. I wonder who came up with this bizarre matrix that ignores the fact there are small babies, big babies, thin babies, and plump babies – and all of them may be of the same age.
My daughter fits nicely into baby suits for 18-month olds, a sleeping bag for newborns, and pants for 4 month old babies — all at the same time. I don't know what to buy! Do I have to bring my baby into the shop to try everything out? Adult clothes aren't sized by age… Why can't we have real baby sizes?
(3) It must be easy to open on the bottom in order to change diapers whenever and wherever that task must occur.
Sounds straightforward, right? Nope… Small sweaters with tiny openings for her head, requiring an experienced pair of hands to pull through her unwilling, wiggling baby head; Tiny buttons that need to be opened and closed each time you attempt to dress your child (do that when she is crying, hungry, or with a colic, and you will understand what I mean). And there are those heavily adorned suits with cool pockets, zippers, and other bells and whistles, but no buttons on the bottom. Which means you have to take off the entire suit just to change a diaper.
And there's plenty of fancy, tight pants with an even tighter waistband that don't allow for important things like breathing, and that's without a diaper (did I mention these tights pants are for a baby?).
The 2-piece outfits with a bright-colored shirt and matching pants crown my "pointless" list. Babies move constantly, and the shirt always gets pulled up around their neck, leaving them with bare bellies – unless you also dress them in a body suit. But if your baby isn't eating yet with a fork and knife, and if your baby has a habit of spitting up, you will spend most of your day with her on the changing table.
And those "cute" little nightgowns and dresses that her flying legs kick up and over her waist as soon as you put them on, they leave three-thirds of her body naked.
I ask again, who designs this ugly and impractical baby clothes? We didn't have the Web when I first became a father. I am hopeful that help is on the way! I can't wait until I can have my own 3D printer to design and print my own baby clothes at home, maybe a designer will see that there is a bigger 3-D clothing market for babies than for Victoria's Secret models.
