  • The Image of Chemistry Presented by the Science Museum, London in the Twentieth Century: an International Perspective
    The Image of Chemistry Presented by the Science Museum, London in the Twentieth Century: An International Perspective Peter Morris Abstract: How has chemistry been presented at the Science Museum, London, during the 20 th century? After an overview of the history of the Science Muse- um and its chemistry galleries, four galleries are considered in depth (1906, 1926, 1977, and 1999). The importance of the curators’ external constituency of chemists and chemical educators is emphasized. The image of chemistry at the Science Museum has concentrated on the general utility of chemistry and chemistry as a skilful craft. The presentation has been low-key rather than boosterist. A comparison is made with the chemistry galleries at the Deutsches Museum. Chemistry in the Deutsches Museum has put more emphasis on hands-on exhibits and the chemical industry. Science and technology museums have promoted chemistry in a quiet but successful way for many years, but their influence may have waned along with chemistry kits. Keywords : presentation of chemistry in museums, chemistry collections, chemistry galleries, Science Museum, Deutsches Museum . 1. Introduction Before we examine the image of chemistry that has been presented by the Science Museum during the 20th century, it is worth asking if science and technology museums have any influence on the public’s perception of chem- istry. While the impact of museums is inevitably less than, say, the mass me- dia, they do attract large audiences: the Science Museum had 1.2 million visi- tors in the 1930s, a peak of 4.2 million visitors in 1980 and 2.6 million visitors in 2004.

Stephen James Abstract The dramatic expansion of the iron industry in Cleveland from 1850 propelled the district briefly to the position of the world’s largest iron-producing centre and brought about the formation of a major industrial cluster in a previously unindustrialised area. By the end of the 1870s, however, its prosperity was threatened by developments in steel-production technology and the growth of iron and steel output in the US and Germany.

  • British Anti-Suffrage and the Emancipation of Women in Iraq: the Case of Gertrude Bell
    Arab World English Journal (AWEJ) Special Issue on Literature No 4. October, 2016 Pp. 4- 19 British Anti-Suffrage and the Emancipation of Women in Iraq: The Case of Gertrude Bell May Witwit Hon. Research Fellow Research Institute for Media Art and Performance University of Bedfordshire Luton Campus, Park Square Luton, LU1 3JU, United Kingdom Abstract For Gertrude Bell being ‘as good as any man’ was an objective she tried to prove all her life, not only by climbing the Alps and roaming the Arabian Desert but in almost all aspects of life. This challenge remained with her till the end and may well have been one of the reasons behind her success. Bell was against female suffrage and had eagerly worked to prevent granting the vote to British women, yet she became the first British female officer and many times, exceeded the performance of her male colleagues. Bell enjoyed her role as the Oriental Secretary to Sir Percy Cox to the point of forgetting she was a woman. She insisted she was sexless and dismissed most women as uninteresting. However, her sex facilitated her mission among the Arabs who wondered what British men would be like if this was one of their women. After the vote was partially granted to British women in 1918, Bell embarked on emancipating Iraqi women. This paper highlights the contrast between Bell’s public and private personas, her anti-suffrage activities and her role in emancipating urban women in Iraq. Keywords: Gertrude Bell, British Anti Suffrage, Iraqi Women, British Colonial policy 4 Arab World English Journal (AWEJ) Special Issue on Literature No.

Griboyedov was just 34. Married three months earlier to the 16-year old Princess Nina Chavchavadze, daughter of Prince Chavchavadze, the Russian commander of the provinces of Erivan and Nakhichevan, Griboyedov’s advancement as a diplomat had been rapid. An aristocrat and literary figure, whose satirical play “Woe from Wit”2 had placed him in the forefront of contemporary Russian literary circles, Griboyedov had, in 1818, spent two years in Tabriz, the diplomatic capital of Persia,3 as an attache to the first permanent Russian mission to Persia at the court of Prince Abbas, the Shah’s eldest son. The mission’s task was to promote Russian interests, counter-acting British influence and settling some of the issues left undecided by the Treaty of Gulestan.4 A 10-year war with Russia beginning in 1804 had concluded with the occupation of most of Transcaucasia (Southern Caucasus) by occupying Russian forces.

  • The Extraordinary Gertrude Bell
    Book Available from Tyne Bridge Publishing at City Library Newcastle or at www.tinyurl.com/toonbooks The Extraordinary GertrudHe BTell IG YR OP C Edited by Mark Jackson and Andrew Parkin COPYRIGHT The Extraordinary Gertrude Bell HT Obituary G Gertrude LowthianI Bell The death of Miss Gertrude Bell at Baghdad on July 11 last, closed a career which in more than one respect is unique. No other woman of recent timRe has combined her qualities – her taste for arduous and dangerous adventure with her scientific interest and knowledge, her competence in archaeology and art, her distinguished literary gift, her sympathy for all sorts and conditions of men, her political insight and appreciation of humanY values, her masculine vigour, hard common sense and practical efficiency – all tempered by feminine charm and most romantic spirit. She was, I believe, the only woman to be graded a PPolitical Officer during the Great War, and the only one after it to be Oriental Secretary to a High Commissioner. Not given to any sort of self-advertisement, she escaped, thanks to a lifelong indifference to what are called Feminist Movements, that advertisement by others which CO some distinguished members of her sex have suffered. Obituary of Gertrude Bell written by D.G. Hogarth, The Geographical Journal , 68, 1926 Acknowledgements There are several organisations to thank for the support they have provided in the production of this volume. They are the Great North Museum, the National Trust, Newcastle University and Tyne and Wear Archives and Museums.
