Sinclair 10.Pdf Timeless Considerations: An Historical analysis of the development of residency and contact law, gender and parenting For May and Eddie Marshall, daughters Lesley and Jenny and grandchildren Daniel, Niamh and Phoebe [She] ‘comes from a world where women are fast becoming the equal of men and ought to lead lives and have occupations and responsibilities of their own.’ TIMELESS CONSIDERATIONS; AN HISTORICAL ANALYSIS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF RESIDENCY AND CONTACT LAW, GENDER AND PARENTING ELIZABETH ANN SINCLAIR NEWCASTLE LAW SCHOOL NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE UNIVERSITY THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY MARCH 2010. Abstract This thesis engages with historical issues of infant custody laws that have a particular focus in contemporary times. Over the last three decades, complex socio-economic changes have reshaped traditional employment patterns and challenged gender understandings of social relationships, parenting practices and the structure of the family. The outcomes have raised concerns about the effects of these changes on children, the stability of the family and questions of wider social cohesion. Social policies and legal reforms have reflected these changes, for example in relation to ideas of formal gender equality, and a rethinking of parental responsibility. This is particularly relevant after parental separation and the law now encourages shared parenting. However, gendered divisions relating to the roles of men and women as parents remain entrenched within many aspects of parenting cultures. This thesis adds to the contemporary debates through an exploration of the historical context of the development of the laws regulating the care of children post-separation. The methodology follows emerging ideas around the uncovering of personal experiences of separated parents and ways that might add depth of knowledge to research findings. The primary focus is on the inter-war period of the nineteen twenties and thirties. The implications of the massive socio-economic upheavals and legislative reforms following the First World War signalled a new age and a key period in women’s history and struggle for formal legal equality. Despite legal reforms and social change, the evidence shows for some parents the reality was different and rooted in gender politics. Via a critical analysis of primary resources, including original and up until now, unseen testamentary evidence, the case studies provide a snapshot of the experiences of mothers and fathers after separation dealing with the contradictions in their gendered roles in the care of children. The thesis sets out to argue that in the legal regulation of the care of children post-separation the issues of parenting are timeless considerations underpinned by gender politics and need to remain within political, legal and public debates. i Summary Contents Abstract i Summary Contents ii Acknowledgements v Chapter 1 The Background & Contemporary Debates 1 Introduction 1 Aims & Objectives 4 Structure 5 Section 1 7 Contemporary Contexts 7 Sociological Insights to the Family 16 Primary Concepts and Themes 29 Section 2 30 Law and Family Relations 30 Regulating the Family 32 Current Debates in Family Law 37 The Socio-Legal Approach 43 Section 3 45 Methodology 45 Literature Review 48 Primary Resources 51 Secondary Resources 52 Summary 53 Chapter 2 The Historical Roots: Marriage, Divorce & Infant Custody Laws 55 Introduction 55 Section 1 57 The Origins & Development of Marriage, Divorce and Infant Custody Laws from Antiquity to the Custody of Infants Act 1839 57 Case Studies: A Need for Reform 71 ii The Case of the Honourable Caroline Norton 77 Section 2 87 Measured Reforms: Reforms to the Laws of Marriage, Divorce Infant & Child Custody Laws from the Mid-Nineteenth Century To the Early Twentieth Century 87 The Narratives of Domesticity & the Public and Private Spheres 87 The Woman Question: the Struggle for Women’s Legal Rights 91 Legal Reforms and Case Studies 1857-1895 99 Section 3 114 Socio-Legal Changes in the Early Twentieth Century Routes to Women’s Formal Legal Rights 114 A Revolution in the Law 114 Routes to Reforms of the Divorce Laws 118 The First World War & Social Changes 122 Chapter 3 Legal Equality or Bound by the Rules?

Furthermore, the decrease in the numbers of marriages has been accompanied by a striking increase in cohabitation. Attitudes to same-sex partners have shifted and the law no longer criminalises homosexuality. 7 The law provides effective ways to illustrate the changes and the acceptance. For example, in 1986 in the case of Harrogate Borough Council v Simpson 8 the courts dismissed an appeal for possession of the tenancy of a council house on the grounds that living together as man and wife did not include a lesbian relationship. As Bridge LJ argued, ‘If Parliament had wished homosexual relationships to be brought into the realm of the lawfully recognized state of a living 1Lord Stoddart of Swindon, H L Deb 1.12.1998 c 432. 2Although The Children Act 1989 removed the term, child custody, from the statute books, it will be referenced to throughout this thesis in relation to the historical context of the law. 3That is post 1989 at the end of the 20 th century and the beginning of the 21 st century. 4 Boyd, S.B. ‘Legal Regulation of Families in Changing Societies’ in Sarat, A., Ed.

Same-sex partners can now register their relationship granting the partnership legal status 9 giving the same rights and responsibilities as heterosexual partners. 10 The law now allows same-sex couples to adopt unrelated children 11 or the other partner’s child. 12 This is contrast to the Adoption Act 1976 that only allowed joint adoptions to be made to married couples.

  • Haessly, Katie (2010) British Conservative Women Mps
    British Conservative Women MPs and ‘Women’s Issues’ 1950-1979 Katie Haessly, BA MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2010 1 Abstract In the period 1950-1979, there were significant changes in legislation relating to women’s issues, specifically employment, marital and guardianship and abortion rights. This thesis explores the impact of Conservative female MPs on these changes as well as the changing roles of women within the party. In addition there is a discussion of the relationships between Conservative women and their colleagues which provides insights into the changes in gender roles which were occurring at this time. Following the introduction the next four chapters focus on the women themselves and the changes in the above mentioned women’s issues during the mid-twentieth century and the impact Conservative women MPs had on them. The changing Conservative attitudes are considered in the context of the wider changes in women’s roles in society in the period. Chapter six explores the relationship between women and men of the Conservative Parliamentary Party, as well as men’s impact on the selected women’s issues. These relationships were crucial to enhancing women’s roles within the party, as it is widely recognised that women would not have been able to attain high positions or affect the issues as they did without help from male colleagues. Finally, the female Labour MPs in the alteration of women’s issues is discussed in Chapter seven. Labour women’s relationships both with their party and with Conservative women are also examined.

  • There If Often a Fine Line Between Reporting Crimes and Encouraging Criminals
    Media Law: Keep Your Distance: There if Often a Fine Line Between Reporting Crimes and Encouraging Criminals By Duncan Lamont The Guardian September 20, 2004, p 10 An angry father perched on a Buckingham Palace ledge in a Batman suit may have seemed a bit of a laugh but the stunt raised some potentially uncomfortable legal issues. For a start, Batman (Jason Hatch) could easily have been shot. His sidekick, Dave Pyke (dressed as Robin), was following him up the ladder when an officer pointed a handgun at him and shouted "Come down or I will shoot". So down he came. Metropolitan police commissioner Sir John Stevens pointed out that the alarms and CCTV had operated and that if it had been thought that Batman was carrying a bomb "he would have been shot". Terrorists may now have noticed that silly clothes seem to gain the wearer free access to both Parliament and royal palaces. Thankfully, the media were not reporting shootings but providing the very oxygen of publicity that Fathers 4 Justice craved. The Daily Mirror boasted last week that its reporters were at the group's weekend summit (which apparently turned into a foul-mouthed drinking session). And they would have been aware that this was not merely boasting - Hatch is due in court later this year concerning a demonstration on Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol. The Daily Mail was also in the know and printed 12 photographs, showing the protesters from the moment they jumped the railings and propped a ladder against the side of the building, to Hatch's eventual descent, six hours later, in a cherry picker.

  • Every Father Is a Superhero to His Children: the Gendered
    bs_bs_banner POLITICAL STUDIES: 2013 doi: 10.1111/j.1467-9248.2012.01008.x ‘Every Father is a Superhero to His Children’: The Gendered Politics of the (Real) Fathers 4 Justice Campaign Ana Jordan University of Lincoln Fathers’ rights groups have been characterised by some feminist academics as part of an anti-feminist ‘backlash’, responding to a perceived crisis of masculinity through a problematic politics of fatherhood aimed at (re)asserting control over women and children.This article analyses the construction of gender and masculinity/ies within fathers’ rights groups, specifically,the UK-based pressure group, (Real) Fathers 4 Justice.The article explores the construction of power-laden gender identity/ies within (Real) Fathers 4 Justice and, in doing so, contributes to understanding the logic and implications of fathers’ rights perspectives. The analysis is based on in-depth interviews conducted with members of the group.The qualitative case study is used to explore critically the (gender) politics of fathers’ rights. It is argued that the interviewees (re)construct multiple masculinities: bourgeois-rational masculinity, new man/new father masculinity and hypermasculinity.These masculinity frames intersect with broader constructions of gender and need to be understood in evaluating the perspectives of fathers’ rights groups which are complex in terms of their implications for gender politics broadly conceived. Overall, it is argued that each of the masculinity frames can be problematic, as they reinforce existing gendered binaries. Keywords: pressure groups; fathers’ rights; masculinities; gender politics; social movements This article critically interrogates the politics of fathers’ rights from a feminist perspective, analysing the gendered (and heteronormative) logic underpinning fathers’ rights perspec- tives.The identity of ‘father’has always been political as power-laden gendered identities are implicit within constructions of fatherhood.

  • Suffrage and Virginia Woolf 121 Actors
    SUFFRAGE AND VIRGINIAWOOLF: ‘THE MASS BEHIND THE SINGLE VOICE’ by sowon s. park Virginia Woolf is now widely accepted as a ‘mother’ through whom twenty- ¢rst- century feminists think back, but she was ambivalent towards the su¡ragette movement. Feminist readings of the uneasy relation betweenWoolf and the women’s Downloaded from movement have focused on her practical involvement as a short-lived su¡rage campaigner or as a feminist publisher, and have tended to interpret her disapproving references to contemporary feminists as redemptive self-critique. Nevertheless the apparent contradictions remain largely unresolved. By moving away from Woolf in su¡rage to su¡rage in Woolf, this article argues that her work was in fact deeply http://res.oxfordjournals.org/ rooted at the intellectual centre of the su¡rage movement. Through an examination of the ideas expressed in A Room of One’s Own and Three Guineas and of two su¡rage characters, Mary Datchet in Night and Day and Rose Pargiter in TheYears,it establishes how Woolf’s feminist ideas were informed by su¡rage politics, and illumi- nates connections and allegiances as well as highlighting her passionate resistance to a certain kind of feminism. at Bodleian Library on October 20, 2012 I ‘No other element in Woolf’s work has created so much confusion and disagree- mentamongherseriousreadersasherrelationtothewomen’smovement’,noted Alex Zwerdling in 1986.1 Nonetheless the women’s movement is an element more often overlooked than addressed in the present critical climate. And Woolf in the twentieth- ¢rst century is widely accepted as a ‘mother’ through whom feminists think back, be they of liberal, socialist, psychoanalytical, post-structural, radical, or utopian persuasion.

  • The History of the Development of British Satellite Broadcasting Policy, 1977-1992
    THE HISTORY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF BRITISH SATELLITE BROADCASTING POLICY, 1977-1992 Windsor John Holden —......., Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of PhD University of Leeds, Institute of Communications Studies July, 1998 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others ABSTRACT This thesis traces the development of British satellite broadcasting policy, from the early proposals drawn up by the Home Office following the UK's allocation of five direct broadcast by satellite (DBS) frequencies at the 1977 World Administrative Radio Conference (WARC), through the successive, abortive DBS initiatives of the BBC and the "Club of 21", to the short-lived service provided by British Satellite Broadcasting (BSB). It also details at length the history of Sky Television, an organisation that operated beyond the parameters of existing legislation, which successfully competed (and merged) with BSB, and which shaped the way in which policy was developed. It contends that throughout the 1980s satellite broadcasting policy ceased to drive and became driven, and that the failure of policy-making in this time can be ascribed to conflict on ideological, governmental and organisational levels. Finally, it considers the impact that satellite broadcasting has had upon the British broadcasting structure as a whole. 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract i Contents ii Acknowledgements 1 INTRODUCTION 3 British broadcasting policy - a brief history

  • The Cambridge Introduction to Virginia Woolf for Students of Modern Literature, the Works of Virginia Woolf Are Essential Reading
    This page intentionally left blank The Cambridge Introduction to Virginia Woolf For students of modern literature, the works of Virginia Woolf are essential reading. In her novels, short stories, essays, polemical pamphlets and in her private letters she explored, questioned and refashioned everything about modern life: cinema, sexuality, shopping, education, feminism, politics and war. Her elegant and startlingly original sentences became a model of modernist prose. This is a clear and informative introduction to Woolf’s life, works, and cultural and critical contexts, explaining the importance of the Bloomsbury group in the development of her work. It covers the major works in detail, including To the Lighthouse, Mrs Dalloway, The Waves and the key short stories. As well as providing students with the essential information needed to study Woolf, Jane Goldman suggests further reading to allow students to find their way through the most important critical works. All students of Woolf will find this a useful and illuminating overview of the field. JANE GOLDMAN is Senior Lecturer in English and American Literature at the University of Dundee.

  • A “Feminine” Heartbeat in Evangelicalism and Fundamentalism
    A “Feminine” Heartbeat in Evangelicalism and Fundamentalism DAVID R. ELLIOTT Protestant fundamentalism has often been characterized as militant, rationalistic, paternalistic and even misogynist.1 This was particularly true of Baptist and Presbyterian fundamentalists who were Calvinists. Yet, evangelicalism and fundamentalism also had a feminine, mystical, Arminian expression which encouraged the active ministry of women and which had a profound impact upon the shaping of popular piety through devotional writings and mystical hymnology.2 This paper examines the “feminine” presence in popular fundamentalism and evangelicalism by examining this expression of religion from the standpoint of gender, left brain/right brain differences, and Calvinistic versus Arminian polarities. The human personality is composed of both rational and emotional aspects, both of equal value. The dominance of either aspect reflects the favouring of a particular hemisphere of the brain. Males have traditionally emphasized the linear, rational left side of the brain over the intuitive, emotional right side. Females have tended to utilize the right side of the brain more,3 although some males are more right-brained and some females are more left-brained. Such differences may be genetic, hormonal or sociological. Brain researcher Marilyn Ferguson favours the sociologi- cal explanation and suggests a deliberate reorientation to the right side of the brain as means of transforming society away from confrontation to a state of peace. She sees the feminist movement accomplishing much of this transformation of society by emphasizing the right side of the brain.4 When looking at the two dominant expressions of Protestantism – Historical Papers 1992: Canadian Society of Church History 80 “Feminine” Heartbeat in Evangelicalism and Fundamentalism Calvinism and Methodism, we find what appears to be a left/right brain dichotomy.

Cobane II B.S., University of Wisconsin-Green Bay 1990 M.A., University of Cincinnati 1992 Committee Chair: Richard J. Harknett, Ph.D. Abstract The British Government has been engaged for more than thirty years in a struggle with terrorism related to Northern Ireland. During what is euphemistically called the Troubles, the British government has implemented a series of special emergency laws to address the violence. Drawing upon the political context and debate surrounding the implementation and development of the emergency legislation this research examines the overall effect of British anti-terrorism legislation on both respect for civil liberties and the government’s ability to fight campaigns of violence. Drawing heavily upon primary sources, high profile cases of miscarriages of justice and accusation of an official ‘shoot to kill’ policy this project explores three distinct areas related to a government’s balancing of the exigencies of individual liberty and societal order.
