BENTON END REMEMBERED: CEDRIC MORRIS, ARTHUR LETT-HAINES AND THE EAST ANGLIAN SCHOOL OF PAINTING AND DRAWING (PAPERBACK) Unicorn Publishing Group, United Kingdom, 2018. Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English . Brand New Book. In 1940, Cedric Morris and Arthur Lett-Haines, both established artists with international reputations who had become disillusioned with the commercial aspects of the art world, moved to Benton End, overlooking the River Brett on the outskirts of Hadleigh, Suolk. What they found there was a somewhat ramshackle but capacious sixteenth-century farmhouse, standing in over three acres of walled gardens lost beneath brambles and elder trees; the house had not been lived in for fieen years. But Benton End became both their home and the new premises of the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing which, in 1937, they had founded together in Dedham, Essex. From 1940 until Lett Haines died in 1978 and Cedric Morris in 1982, Benton End was an exotic world apart where art, literature, good food, gardening and lively conversation combined to produce an extraordinarily stimulating environment for amateurs and professionals alike.

  • Reindorf Report, and an Update in Light of the Judgment of the Employment Appeal Tribunal in the Case of Forstater V CGD
    Leadership Starts with the Law Briefing for universities on The Reindorf Review JUNE 2021 Foreword In May 2021 the University of Essex published a review by barrister Akua Reindorf concerning the “deplatforming” of two academics because of their “gender critical” views. It captures a glimpse of statutory compliance and academic freedom under fire: university policies captured by internal and external lobby groups, and cultures of fear where academics and students can be hostages to groundless charges of transphobia. The Essex report exposes and challenges a widespread phenomenon: accusations of transphobia deployed first to curtail academic freedom, and then to prevent people talking about the curtailment of academic freedom. It should be a wake-up call for university leadership. Sex Matters is a UK based not-for-profit organisation. We campaign, advocate and produce resources to promote clarity about sex in public policy, law and language. This briefing contains highlights from the Reindorf report, and an update in light of the judgment of the Employment Appeal Tribunal in the case of Forstater v CGD. It is written in particular to support university leadership in undertaking robust reviews of their policies, and in withstanding further pressure to discriminate against, harass and victimise gender-critical scholars. Given the circumstances of the Essex report, this briefing considers issues of academic freedom. However, both the Essex report and the case of Forstater v CGD have significant implications for universities when carrying out all their responsibilities as employers, education providers, and service providers. Although aimed at universities, it is also relevant to student unions and organisations that provide services on a university’s behalf.

Trying to decide whether to spend a semester/year studying abroad is something many students spend a lot of time pondering. Yes, it's true that the application and accreditation processes may involve quite a lot of formalities, and other areas of your life will need attention too, e.g. securing enough money to support yourself, renting out your flat/ room, and finding someone to look after your hamsters! Still, the benefits of spending even just one semester abroad are definitely worth it, particularly for language students! The chances are you'll come back a different person, with broadened horizons and a new perspective on things, within and beyond of your degree subject. You will learn to be self-sufficient and handle problems and obstacles on your own. Moreover, you will meet new people from all around the world, perfect your foreign language skills and see interesting, new places.
