Inevitably, overthe years, the meanings of the key terms have changed: 'adult education' refers asmuch to the needs of mature students in the mainstream as to extramural or 'extension' lectures; and 'continuing' has the connotations of life -long learningin part to be provided by mainstream departments. Changing meaningsreflect changing needs and, unsurprisingly, there has been continuing review and reorganization of this provision in the Universityaccelerating in recent years, in partdriven internally, in part externally. What started as the Department ofExtra-Mural Studies is now the Department of Adult Continuing Educationand, shortly, it will find itself as a component in a broader-based School ofContinuing Education. There is an unbroken thread of tradition and commitment tothe provision of courses to the communities of Leeds and itsregionand perhaps particularly, a style of provisionwhich is quite distinctive. This arisesfrom a combination of the academic skills of the Department (and the wider Univer- sity) with an ability to draw people in who would not otherwise engagewith the University. In recent years, this tradition has been broadened todevelop continuing professional educationthrough a separate departmentand this also has achieved great success. A part of the success has been the encouragement ofcon tin uing education provision through other departments of the University. That such a community ofskills and abilities can be nurturedand developed through two or more generations in Leeds is quite remarkable. At the present time, over 30,000 people in a given year take at least one course incontinuing educationover 12,000 of these through the Department of Adult Continu- ing Education. In a fifty-year span, there are many who can stilltell the

Herbert Pimlott,1 Department of Communication Studies, Wilfrid Laurier University Abstract Most assessments of the influence of scholars and public intellectuals focus on their ideas, which are based upon an implicit assumption that their widespread circulation are a result of the veracity and strength of the ideas themselves, rather than the processes of production and distribution, including the intellectual’s own contribution to the ideas’ popularity by attending conferences and public rallies, writing for periodicals, and so on. This concise article offers an assessment of the late Stuart Hall’s role as a socialist public intellectual by connecting the person, scholar and public intellectual to the organisations, institutions and publications through which his contributions to both cultural studies and left politics were produced and distributed.

Conclusions 25 Recommendations 27 Appendix 27 2 Executive summary Roma migration from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) has increased significantly over the last decade as a result of EU expansion. There are now sizable Roma communities in many parts of England – including London, the Midlands and Northern England. Roma are one of the most persecuted groups in history and they can be extremely suspicious of the intentions and actions of non-Roma. Self-help is thus a key feature of Roma culture and many Roma migrants are extremely reluctant to engage with support agencies when they arrive in England.

    DAYS OF TRAGEDY AND FARCE by Mervyn Jones On Tuesday, 30th October, 1956, after a week of street-fighting in Budapest between Hungarian insurgents and Soviet troops, Imre Nagy announced the formation of a multi-party government. Its Communist members-Nagy himself as Prime Minister, GCza Lozonczy, and Jinos Kidir-represented a repudiation of the detested regime of the former Party boss, Mityis Rgkosi; Kidir, indeed, had been imprisoned and tortured under Rikosi's rule. The other Ministers were drawn from the Social-Democratic Party, the Smallholders' Party, and the National Peasant Party (just renamed the Petofi Party in honour of the democratic revolutionary hero of 1848). The people were promised that elections would be held, but the four parties envisaged a period of 'democratic collaboration'. This was the culmination of a growing crisis, opening with the death of Stalin in March 195 3 and the realisation by his successors that his nominees- such as Rgkosi-had reduced their respective countries to a condition of instability. In Hungary, Moscow's policy was initially to find a new Communist leadership which would regain a degree of popularity. Accordingly, Nagy was made Prime Minister in July 1953 and did some- thing to lighten the burdens loaded by Raosi on to the working-class and the peasants. But Raosi still had friends in Moscow, remained Secretary- General of the Party, worked to limit or nullify Nagy's policies, and eventually regained full power with the dismissal of Nagy in March 1955. In June 1956 Rikosi was removed as a political liability, but his replace- ment by the equally contaminated Erno Gero meant that the crisis was merely accentuated.

    Hall, Stuart - Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Communication http://communication.oxfordre.com/view/10.1093/acrefore/97801902286... Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Communication Hall, Stuart Toby Miller Subject: Critical/Cultural Studies Online Publication Date: Jul 2017 DOI: 10.1093/acrefore/9780190228613.013.46 Summary and Keywords Stuart Hall was a Jamaican-born, British-based theorist, critic, and activist, who flourished between the late 1950s and his death in 2014. Known both for his theoretical and empirical work on culture and communication and for his role as a public intellectual, Hall produced scholarly writings and charismatic teaching that were matched by his columns and interviews in magazines and newspapers and appearances on television and radio. Keywords: Stuart Hall, cultural studies, Marxism, ideology, hegemony, conjuncture, articulation, racism, post-structuralism Introduction Stuart Hall was the public face of cultural studies in England and a spirited advocate of critical multiculturalism. He authored and edited, both alone and with others, many essays and books of original ideas and research, including The Popular Arts (Hall & Whannell, 1965), Resistance Through Rituals (Hall & Jefferson, 1976), Policing the Crisis (Hall et al., 1978), Culture, Media, Language (Hall et al., 1980), The Hard Road to Renewal (Hall, 1988), New Times (Hall & Jacques, 1989), and After Neoliberalism? (Hall et al., 2015). He was also a founding editor of two significant journals, New Left Review, in the 1960s and Soundings, in the 1990s. Following studies in Jamaica and Oxford, Hall spent his scholarly life in two very different environments. First, he worked at the University of Birmingham’s Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies between 1964 and 1979.

  • The Range and Accessibility of Food Aid Provision in Bradford, and the Impact of COVID-19
    The range and accessibility of food aid provision in Bradford, and the impact of COVID-19 Ciara Graven, Dr Maddy Power, Sarah Jones, Sarah Possingham and Dr Maria Bryant January 2021 January 2021 1 Executive Summary Background ● Food insecurity is a major public health issue with detrimental implications for mental and physical health among adults and children. ● Existing inequalities in access to food have been highlighted and exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. ● The importance of food aid (here also termed community food assets) to provide immediate food support to people experiencing poverty and hunger has been heightened by COVID-19 and the resultant economic fallout. However, there is limited knowledge of both the range and characteristics of food aid in Bradford and the extent to which COVID-19 has impacted the availability and accessibility of food support. ● Bradford District is a multi-ethnic, multi-faith area with high levels of socio-economic inequality; it has been particularly negatively affected by COVID-19. Findings ● A rapid mapping exercise and survey, undertaken between August and November 2020, identified 169 community food assets operating in the Bradford District, of which 139 remained operational throughout the first lockdown period (March to June 2020). ● 59 food aid services were newly set up during the first lockdown period, of which 79% delivered food (prepared meal or food parcels). ● Services categorised as emergency assistance (e.g., food banks, food delivery services and soup runs (n=116 (83%)) were more common during the first lockdown than services providing non-emergency assistance with food e.g., community cafes (n=23 (17%)).

  • The West Riding in the Late Seventeenth Century by David Hey
    Introduction: The West Riding in the Late Seventeenth Century by David Hey Not only was Yorkshire by far the largest of the ancient counties of England, at 1,709,307 acres, but the West Riding alone exceeded in size every other county except Lincolnshire. The word riding is derived from the late Old English ‘thrithing’ or ‘thriding’, itself adapted from an Old Norse loan word, meaning a third part. Wapentake, similarly derived, was the equivalent of the Anglo-Saxon hundred, and came from the symbolic flourishing of weapons to signify agreement when decisions were made in open-air assemblies at convenient sites, such as a river crossing or by a stone cross.1 The wapentakes continued to see to the levying of taxes, the raising of the militia and the maintenance of law and order and did not finally disappear until the reorganisation of local government in 1974. The West Riding was divided into eleven wapentakes: Ainsty, Agbrigg, Barkston Ash, Claro, Ewcross, Morley, Osgoldcross, Skyrack, Staincliffe, Staincross and Strafforth. The Ainsty, bounded by the rivers Ure, Ouse and Wharfe, had been annexed by Henry VI (d. 1471), king of England, to the city of York, as the county of the city, which was independent of all three ridings, but it was still considered to be a West Riding wapentake. The wapentakes were divided into townships, the vills of medieval documents. In the eastern parts of the West Riding many townships were coterminous with the ecclesiastical parishes and were referred to as parishes in the hearth tax returns, but the large moorland parishes in the west contained numerous townships.

  • Visiting Parliamentary Fellowship Celebrating 25 Years 1994-2019
    VISITING PARLIAMENTARY FELLOWSHIP CELEBRATING 25 YEARS 1994-2019 St Antony's College 1 Roger Goodman, Warden of St Antony’s At a recent breakfast with the students, it was decided that the College should do more to advertise what distinguished it from other colleges in Oxford. St Antony’s is: The Oxford college founded by a Frenchman The Oxford college with two Patron Saints (St Antony of Egypt and St Antony of Padua) The Oxford college where almost 90% of the 500 graduate students are from outside UK and the alumni come from 129 countries The Oxford college with international influence: ‘In the mid-2000s, 5% of the world’s foreign ministers had studied at St Antony’s’ (Nick Cohen, The Guardian, 8 Nov, 2015) The Oxford college mentioned in the novels of both John Le Carré and Robert Harris The Oxford college which holds the most weekly academic seminars and workshops The Oxford college with two award-winning new buildings in the past decade To this list can be added: St Antony’s is the Oxford college with a Visiting Parliamentary Fellowship (VPF). There is no other Oxford college that can boast such a list of parliamentarians responsible for a seminar programme over such a long period of time. The College is immensely proud of the Fellowship and greatly indebted to all those who have held it over the past 25 years. We were very grateful to those who have were able to come to the 25th anniversary celebration of the Fellowship programme at the House of Commons on 24 April 2019 and for the many generous letters from those who could not.
