It will look at what theology is, who does theology, where it is done, and for what purpose. The traditional sources of theological reflection, such as the Bible, traditions, experience and reason will be examined. The contextuality of all theologies will be stressed, and the relativity of traditional Western theology will be exposed, and newer approaches to theology will be explored, including liberation theologies of the two-thirds world. Students will be encouraged to bring a Pacific focus to their own work, drawing on various models of contextual theology with a view to identifying, describing and critically analysing the methods that undergird such models. Objectives By the end of the course students should be able to: Be aware of and describe the context in which they do theology Define what theology is and understand the role of the theologian Describe several sources for doing theology Appreciate several different models of doing contextual theology See how key doctrines have been interpreted through contextual methods Method of Teaching A combination of lectures, readings, writing and discussion.

  • Four Nations Impartiality Review: an Analysis of Reporting Devolution
    APPENDIX A Four Nations Impartiality Review: An analysis of reporting devolution Report authors Prof. Justin Lewis Dr. Stephen Cushion Dr. Chris Groves Lucy Bennett Sally Reardon Emma Wilkins Rebecca Williams Cardiff School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies, Cardiff University 1 Contents Page 1. Introduction and Overview 2. General sample 3. Case studies 4. Reporting the 2007 elections 5. Current Affairs Coverage 2007 6. Five Live Phone-In Programmes (Oct-Nov and Election Samples) 7. Devolution Stories on BBC Six O’Clock News and 6.30pm Opt- Outs 8. Omissions 9. Devolution online: Focus groups 10. Bibliography 11. Appendix 2 1. Introduction and Overview The scope of the study The central aim of the study was to examine how devolution is reported in UK-wide BBC network television and radio news, BBC network factual programmes and BBC online news. This analysis took place within the broad framework of questions about impartiality and accuracy, and asked whether the coverage of the four nations is balanced, accurate and helpful in understanding the new political world of devolved government. The focus of the study fell on the coverage of politics in the broadest sense, including the impact of specific policies and debates over the future of devolution, rather than being limited to the reporting of the everyday business of politics within Westminster, Holyrood, Cardiff Bay or Stormont. We conducted two substantive pieces of content analysis. The first was based on a sample of four weeks of news coverage gathered during an eight week period in October and November 2007. This involved 4,687 news items across a wide range of BBC and non-BBC outlets.

  • A Year in Review, the Year Ahead
    2018: A YEAR IN REVIEW, 2019: THE YEAR AHEAD Foreword from Rt Hon Patricia Hewitt, Senior Adviser, FTI Consulting 2018 was the most unpredictable and tumultuous year in politics … since 2017. Which was the most unpredictable and tumultuous year in politics … since 2016. And there’s no sign of let-up as we move into 2019. The unresolved questions of Brexit - how? when? whether at all? - will inevitably dominate the coming year. Even if Theresa May brings back from Brussels a new political declaration sufficiently compelling to command a majority in Parliament - a highly unlikely prospect at the time of writing - the end of March will mean the start of a fresh, complex round of negotiations on a future trade deal, conducted under the shadow of the Irish backstop. For most people, that would be preferable to the collapse of Mrs May’s deal and, almost inevitably, the collapse of her government and a subsequent constitutional crisis. Faced with the choice between revoking Article 50 or leaving the European Union (EU) without a deal, the Commons could well produce a majority for a new referendum. Under the pressure of a leadership contest, the personal and political rancour in the Conservative Party could finally break apart Europe’s hitherto most successful party of government. A no-confidence vote that would be defeated today could command enough votes from the Brexiteers’ kamikaze tendency to force another General Election. And Labour - with most of its moderates MPs replaced by Corbynistas in last-minute candidate selections - could win on a ‘cake and eat it’ manifesto of a Brexit that would end free movement but provide frictionless trade (Irish backstop, anyone?).

  • Written Evidence Submitted by Dr Hyojung Sun (Ulster University), Prof
    Written evidence submitted by Dr Hyojung Sun (Ulster University), Prof. David Hesmondhalgh (University of Leeds) and Dr Richard Osborne (Middlesex University) Submission to the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) Select Committee’s Inquiry into Economics of Streaming From May 2020, an independent academic research team of Dr Hyojung Sun (Ulster University), Prof. David Hesmondhalgh (University of Leeds) and Dr Richard Osborne (Middlesex University) have been conducting an independent research project to investigate music creators’ earnings in the digital age. The project is funded by the UK Intellectual Property Office (IPO) and NESTA’s Policy and Evidence Centre (PEC) and supported by a Steering Board of industry stakeholders including the Ivors Academy, the Featured Artists Coalition (FAC), the Musicians’ Union (MU), PRS for Music, the Association of Independent Music (AIM). Other industry stakeholders have also been invited to join the board. The aim of the research is to deliver independent and robust evidence on how changes in the digital music marketplace have impacted upon the earnings of music creators and therefore facilitate an informed debate. In this research, we define music creators as an overarching term to describe recording artists and songwriters. The impetus of this project stems from the lack of evidence in this contentious area of research, which in return has led to a polarised debate based on anecdotes and perceptions. The music creator community argue that the lion’s share of streaming revenues goes to major labels and that this business model is based on the reward system created in the pre-digital era. The recorded industry however argues that there should be greater recognition of the significant and risky investment they continue to make in artist development and marketing.
