More contacts from Canada have been included, increasing the batch to approximately 800 graduates. £32,600 has been pledged, £14,000 from Canada. 153.2 Young graduate engagement - Class of 2012 A text message campaign has been launched, asking graduands to donate £3. The Visitor Centre shop will also ask purchasing graduands to consider donating £3 when buying key graduation gifts at the point of sale. This tactic is primarily a profile-raising exercise, possibly leading to competition between year groups. 153.3 Events - UK and International Principal and colleagues attended two thank-you/ fund-raising events for alumni in London. In June, there will be an event for supporters in Ayrshire. There will be a flagship event in Brazil in the autumn. Brazil is thought to be an important partner country. Page 1 of 8 Minutes of General Council Business Committee: 8th May 2012 153.4 Raising the profile of the General Council The Convener has met with the DAO to explore various ideas. There will be a notice on the front page inside cover of the next edition of Avenue. In answer to questions, Ms Sloan explained that there was a 1% completion rate for the overseas profile form. The office did not want to be overwhelmed by a high response. She also explained that the database held at the DAO is the General Council database. Finally, she confirmed that all gifts are Gift Aided on an opt-in basis. 153.5 How campaign success is measured Ms Sloan agreed to provide a note on how campaign success is measured ........................ Action: ES 154 Item 2: Minutes of Business Committee Meeting held on 8th March 2012 The minutes of the meeting of the Business Committee held on 8th March 2012, having been circulated, were received and approved, subject to a correction to show that Dr Ann Lowe and Mr John Marsh were in fact present on 8th March. 155 Item 3: Matters arising from the Minutes There were no matters arising from the Minutes not covered elsewhere in the agenda. 156 Item 4: Court Meeting 18th April 2012: brief report of matters arising Mr Alan Macfarlane referred the Committee to Mr David Ross’s summary of the April Court meeting, circulated to the Committee in advance (Paper 4). He enlarged on the following issues: 156.1 Restructure Review Communications was regarded by Court as the most important item. A further review will be carried out at the end of the year and at the end of Year 3. 156.2 Tax Relief on Charitable Donations The HE sector has made it clear to Government that the proposed changes in charitable giving would have a detrimental effect on the sector. 156.3 Appointment to Scottish Funding Council Court was pleased to announce the appointment of The Principal to the Funding Council. 156.4 Business school Court was pleased to note that the Business School has become increasingly successful and sought after. It will be renamed the Adam Smith Business School. 156.5 Research The REF (Research Excellence Framework) benchmark exercise is set for 2014. The UK Science budget has been protected but greater efficiencies are being sought from HEIs. The Research Councils will be focusing on early career researchers and outstanding performers. In Scotland, the Research Excellence grant has been protected but there are cuts in other areas. The main metrics are “research outputs”; as well as strategy and resources, the impact of the research is included. 156.6 Pensions Liability Along with those of other HEIs, the 2011-12 balance sheet of the University will be impacted by a large upcoming pensions liability. This is primarily due to the fall in gilts investment yields. The Convener enquired if this impact depends on the timing of the valuation. The Secretary of Court pointed out that the immediate issue is valuation for the annual accounts. However, the particular impact of low gilt yields on the scheme are the real liabilities to pensioners and future pensioners. Future liabilities are discounted by the gilt yields; as this yield is low, the liabilities remain correspondingly high. This liability may Page 2 of 8 Minutes of General Council Business Committee: 8th May 2012 be different next year. The Pension Regulator is looking at the GU superannuation scheme to see that there is still enough money to support it. In answer to a question from Dr Bobby Logan, Mr Newall advised that employee contribut- ions to the USS scheme are now 7⅓%. The University contributes 16%. These contributions cannot be altered. The corresponding figures for the University’s own scheme (for technical and operational grades) are 6% and 20%. 156.7 Russell Group The Russell Group of research-intensive institutions has four new members: Durham; Exeter; Queen Mary; and York. The Government has considerable confidence in the status of the Russell Group and this is taken into account in allocating funding. Glasgow and Edinburgh are the only two Scottish members. 157 Item 5: University Management business/Principal's business Mr David Newall addressed the meeting on the following items: 157.1 SG Review of HE Governance This matter was discussed at the March GCBC meeting. Court has agreed its position on each of the recommendations. There has been no formal follow-up from the Scottish Government. The views of Senate and Court are broadly similar. Mr Newall agreed to provide the University response for circulation: ................................................ Action: Clerk 157.2 Management of Organisational Change - Accounts Receivable The A/R function is being rationalised, resulting in three redundancies; the staff involved were redeployed. The Press chose to report this as the University reneging on a promise of no compulsory redundancies. 157.3 My Campus Intensive effort has been put into adapting the programme and training the staff to improve the effectiveness of the MyCampus student management system. Although it will not be perfect, MyCampus will be a lot more effective than last year. Mr Newall explained that the software handling the twin processes of Registration and Enrolment would have to be much better than last year; a lot of preparation has gone into this. August and September will be very demanding months. 157.4 Library The cladding on the Library is being renewed. This will be finished in one year. Glasgow City Council had requested battleship grey but have relented. Mr Newall suggested that the GCBC might be interested in a briefing about the Library, where there have been consider- able developments in the last few years. 157.5 New

D. LAING: MADNESS AND THE MATTER OF THE BODY by Kerry Sara Myler With the publication of The Divided Self in 1960, R. D. Laing initiated the British ‘anti-psychiatry’ movement which was to challenge the hegemony of conventional medical and psychoanalytical models of madness during that decade and beyond. Anti-psychiatric thinking coincided with the beginning of the second wave of feminism and the two movements coalesced within a number of literary texts, most notably Doris Lessing’s The Golden Notebook.

  • Hopsig News and Notes
    HoPSIG News and Notes The newsletter of the Royal College of Psychiatrists’ History of Psychiatry Special Interest Group Issue 5, Autumn 2017 HoPSIG & Archives News Editorial Welcome to all our readers, old and new! HoPSIG had a full house at our spring workshop and our session at the International Congress 2017 was also well attended (abstracts are available on our Meetings page). We intend to continue holding history workshop events three times a year, including at least one meeting outside London, and we are in discussion with the Centre for the History of the Emotions at Queen Mary University of London about making links with academic historians. This is our first issue published exclusively as an e-newsletter, the College’s preferred format for this sort of publication, and we are very grateful to Mark Turner, Digital Content Officer, for setting it up and putting this issue together. We are proud to say that HoPSIG has grown substantially, from a mere 120 people on our mailing list 2 years ago to the current figure of 1000. We are also appealing to trainees, and have three currently on the committee who are all involved in specific projects. As well as accruing interest within our own profession, HoPSIG has also had the pleasure of answering queries about the history of psychiatry from other fields and industries, including historians, radio and television producers, and a novelist. It is fair to say that we have also had a lot of fun, and we hope that you enjoy reading this issue as much as we have enjoyed reading all of your contributions and editing it! Paul Lomax is stepping down from the HoPSIG committee, so we have a vacancy for another trainee.
