3 Annual Report for the Research Institute for Media Art and Design 2009-10 By Professor Alexis Weedon, Director

1. Research Areas

The Research Institute for Media Art and Design has two centres (the Centre for International Media Analysis and Consultancy, and the Centre for Applied Research in Dance) and four research groups:  Journalism and Communications - leader Dr Alec Charles  Interactive Media Research Group - leader Dr Gavin Stewart  Practice Research Group - leader Joanna Callaghan  Screen and Script - leader Dr Carlota Larrea

2. Activities and Achievements – report

The year got off to a good start with the Research Informed Teaching scheme. It was warmly embraced within the Divisions and the Research Institute. Divisions paired up to produce shared plans. Both plans proved highly successful and the MAP, J&C RiT led by Joanna Callaghan and Gavin Stewart was named the best example in the University. Their objectives and achievements are listed below.

In November an initial REF draft was put forward to the University. This included Targeting funding to support staff members with the potential to become REF members. This has resulted in some considerable success: I particularly want to congratulate Mark Collington on his plan for research in animation, and Elsa Bradley on her research outputs. Other have also done well: Gavin Stewart has co-editing a book, Maria Weiner given papers and shown her creative work. At the next RIMAD board will consider how to build on this success.

In March the Institute validated its Professional Doctorate in Journalism, Media, Cinema and Television. Development was lead by Professor Luke Hockley and supported by a strong team.

The Junior Research Institute in PAE continues to thrive under the leadership of Sadie Hunt. It hosts a seminar series and involves students in the practice-led research in the Division.

Following the sad loss of Professor Manuel Alvarado, the University will be receiving the donation of his book and journal collection. Thanks to Luke Hockley for his work facilitating this and to his widow, Tana Wollen, for her generosity.

Staff achievements

Staff achievements this year have been many and numerous.

Staff members have had personal successes this year: congratulations to Helen Bailey who from the 1 September 2010 became the University’s Professor of Dance, much deserved. She has a number of collaborative dance research projects to her credit, and leads the Division of Performing Arts and English dance company and this year established the Theatre season on the Polhill site. Congratulations too to Janey Gordon on her PhD by publication. Janey joined the University in 1995 after a career in radio broadcasting and this award is a confirmation of her academic achievements over the years in her second career. Her collection Notions of Community, A Collection of Community Media Debates and Dilemmas was published this year. Having established a community radio in the University, she is leading the development of the RadioLab build. I hope it inspires others!

Congratulations to Kathryn Woolfe has published her first book, So you want to be a TV presenter? which is doing well. She gave a seminar on her experiences. We look forward to the next book Kathryn.

Institute members have given a number of keynotes or plenary talks this year:

4 John Digance and Dave Green featured at the British Short Film Production, Peterkit Film Festival, St Petersburg, and are active film makers. Luke Hockley gave the plenary at the Jung and Film - Post Jungian Takes on the Moving Image, Confederation of Analytical Psychology, Third Annual Andrew Samuels Lecture, Brunei Gallery, School of Oriental and African Studies, Keith Jebb gave the keynote at the 16th International Reflective Practice Conference, University of Bedfordshire. Helen Bailey gave the Opening plenary on her e-dance project at the All Hands Meeting and IEEE conference

The overall objectives of this RiT action plan for 2009 are to:

1. Maximize the impact of existing RiT activities through optimum use of existing teaching and research; 2. Make available in an accessible format the various practice and research resources relevant to student learning; 3. Provide a range of opportunities for students to engage with practice and research experiences which will allow them to develop transferable skills; 4. Encourage staff and student researchers to collaborate and bid for internal and external funding that will help them to develop their practice, teaching and research in an informed and co-ordinated manner; 5. Encourage staff members to undertake professional activities, such as formal professional development and external examining, that will facilitate the diffusion of best practice; and 6. Promote the practice and research of all staff members

It will seek to achieve these objectives by providing a range of activities from a variety of funding sources including: existing divisional funding, external funders, and RiT funding (discussed in section 9 below).

Examples of RiT activities, to be conducted by RIMAD in conjunction with the Divisions, during 2010 include:-

 The involvement of students in CIMARC activities especially conferences and research projects,

7  The development of the existing RIMAD Research Seminar Series to include workshop sessions led by practitioner-experts familiar with the latest industry developments  The continuing development of the RIMAD and 2D newsletters to provide a pilot platform for the internal dissemination of research and practice, and  The further development of student-initiated events, such as, the Film Festival, The Playful Paradox conference, The Under the Mask conference and the Luton Arts Festival which provide our students and staff with organizational challenges as well as an opportunity to attend and engage with respected practitioners and researchers working in relevant fields.

JOURNALISM & COMMUNICATION RESEARCH GROUP MEETING

Notes of meeting held on 29 June 2010, A103.

Present: Professor Alexis Weedon, Professor Ivor Gaber, Professor Garry Whannel, Dr Janey Gordon, Ms Deena Ingham, Mr Robin Britten, Dr Gavin Stewart, Dr Alec Charles

Apologies: Professor Jon Silverman

The group were asked to consider ideas to promote research impact, foster private and public sector industry links, increase numbers of PhD and postdoctoral research students, and enhance the student experience.

The following ideas were discussed:

 The creation of a co-funded AHRC research studentship in collaboration with industry (possible partners might include EasyJet or the Bedfordshire Police);

 The involvement of Dr Jen Clemitson (Research Development Manager, Knowledge Hub) in the development of opportunities for links with industry;

 An event or series of events which might attract representatives of industry in order to promote contacts for research applied opportunities and collaborations: such events might include an Open Day (a taster session allowing guests into ongoing classes) for the Professional Doctorate and public lectures in the series promoted by the Knowledge Hub;

 The development and promotion of individual units within postgraduate provision as CPD units (note: this should be highlighted in the documentation for the approval of new courses);

 Public sector research projects (commissioned but conducted gratis) in order to promote the impact of research;

21  Inset days for school teachers in areas of media and communications training;

 The promotion of training, consultancy and research services offered by RIMAD through the Knowledge Hub section of the University website;

 The development of a RIMAD/BIMAP media/journalism weblog for inclusion on such platforms as the AJE website;

 The development of links with the business community in Milton Keynes (DI is a member of the MK Chamber of Commerce);

 The use of Radio LaB in the dissemination of training-style talks on media relations and communications, in the promotion to industry and to the local community of research activities and opportunities for collaboration, and in the promotion and practice of media relations and communications training activities.

Junior Research Institute (jRI), Division of Performing Arts and English

The jRI was set up in 2009 - 2010 as a pilot scheme to encourage undergraduate students to recognise, participate in and contribute to a shared research community between academics and students in the Division of Performing Arts and English. The creation of the pilot scheme facilitated the initial research required to set up a jRI that was fit for purpose and specifically designed for students studying the arts within the division. Early research revealed that student perceptions of research and the existing research community needed to be changed, and the creation of the jRI aimed to do this.

Students were given the opportunity to be informed research participants in staff RiT projects. Students were encouraged and supported to write academic reflective accounts of their involvement in this research. This led to one dance student embarking upon the jRI associate fellowship scheme and being mentored in writing a paper for internal publication (2010). There are other students involved in the mentorship scheme working towards associate fellowships and full fellowships from both English and Dance, the dissemination of this undergraduate research will happen in this current academic year through; the research performance platform Junior TestBed (3rd Nov 2010), an article written for undergraduate publication (2011) and a staff/ student collaborative article for publication (2011 – 2012). The jRI also created and delivered a programme of workshops for enhancing research skills. These were successful and student feedback on the relevance and value of these was very positive.

The first year of the jRI focused on researching the need for and design of an effective scheme, running and evaluating pilot projects and student opportunities.

Following the success of the pilot scheme, the jRI 2010 – 2011 builds on this success as well as offering more opportunities within the research community¹.

The jRI is the result of a meta-research project into research skills in undergraduate performing arts students. This research has been disseminated in a presentation and poster at the University of Bedfordshire conference 2010, and in a published chapter ².

A current total of 17 research themes associated with disciplinary specialism and research centres have started taking shape under the guidance of departmental research leaders, summarised as follows:

 Agency, Corporate Governance, Employee Performance and Reward  Business and the Law  Consumer and Cross-cultural Behaviour  Contexts: Entrepreneurship and international organisation

26  Criminal law and Criminology  Ethics in Large Legal Firms  Finance and Banking  Financial Reporting and Corporate Governance  Human Trafficking and its Consequences  Information Systems  Innovation in Small Companies  Innovative Learning Practices (Pedagogy research)  Leadership and Innovation in Enterprise and Organisation  Management Accounting  Marketing Strategy (Branding)  Muslim Women’s Rights (at Law) and the Principle of Universality of Human Rights  Operations and Knowledge Management

2. Summary of the Activities in 2009/2010

The major aim of the Faculty in 2009/10 was to start the process of improving its research and publication performance, ahead of delivering an improved assessment in the next REF. A major element of this was to recruit new, research active staff, including senior academics (Professors and Readers), in order to change the culture of the Faculty. This process has started and will continue with the new staff recruitment round for 2010/11, increasing staff numbers by almost 50% over the two year period. All departments now have at least one Professor and have a Departmental Research Leader (Professor or Reader) working with the HoD to embed research into Departmental activities through new staff review practises and procedures. Staff are now more engaged in research, with a blossoming of research seminars across departments. However, we are still some way from securing our major goal, a significant improvement in the Faculty performance in research funding and performance in the next REF.

Intended actions building on activity in 2009/10

Assure a portfolio of research centres and themed ‘research presence’ facing both inward to engage faculty members (including colleagues located across the University generally in academic and academic support areas, as appropriate) and through capitalizing on and extending external networks the wider community with a stake in those activities grouped within the Business and Management Faculty (incorporating English Language and Law) and their potential to have a positive impact on all those with whom the Faculty interacts.

Critical success factors

 Research outputs on track to achieve a strong Faculty return at the time of the Research Excellence Framework census (measured in terms of the quantity of research reported within highly rated publications – in particular the ABS journal rankings or other discipline appropriate journal lists).

 A clear sense that research and scholarship is widely acknowledged among members and positioned as a prerequisite for all the Faculty’s activities, contributing to achievement of a quality ‘research environment’ with the potential to develop over several years in ways likely to be judged distinctive.

 Income generated by research and research-informed outreach activity increased consistent with targets established by University leadership.

 Research student numbers at levels consistent with targets established by University leadership, and where students are integrated within one of the relevant themed team areas within the Faculty and demonstrating progression against award achievement milestones.

 Research dissemination among the community of practise (e.g. policy makers, organization leaders and members) increasing in ways that demonstrate that the Faculty’s research activity is having an impact in terms of informing decision making and action by this community. This is consistent with informing the impact agenda for the REF.

27 3. Individual Centre’s Reports

3.1. BISC Report

Business and Information Systems Research Centre (BISC) sits within the Department of Business Systems. It has two research groups:

 Research in ICT Business Applications (RICTA)  Operations and Knowledge Management (OKM)

Research Themes in BISC

Theme one – Information Systems

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) forms an essential and integral part of modern organisations. The rapid development in ICT has made, and is still making, a profound impact on organisations, government and society. Increasingly, businesses of all sizes have to rely on ICT to deliver their products and services, and more critically, to survive and grow. Information systems are now acknowledged as the important driver for innovation and an essential ingredient for success and growth.

The deployment of advanced ICT in business organisations is constantly creating new opportunities, as well as challenges. To maximise the potential benefits that ICT can deliver, it is imperative for ICT researchers to understand and address the critical issues associated with ICT applications.

Therefore, this research theme focuses on the adoption and use of emerging ICTs by organisations and individuals and the impact of ICTs on the business and management. One particular focus of this research theme is the applications of ICTs in SMEs. The particular research interests of the staff working on this theme include: ICTs adoption and impact, e- business in SMEs, technology enhanced training, intelligent systems for information management and decision making, ICT based knowledge transfer, executive information systems and management, emerging Internet and mobile technologies and applications, organizational culture, and the management of techno-change and anthropology.

Over the last 10 years, research contributing to this theme has been very successful in attracting European Commission’s funding in helping SMEs to improve their business competitiveness by embracing e-business. The research findings and projects undertaken can demonstrate the impact on business performance and policy making through dissemination activities, raised awareness, enhanced knowledge and skills, and better sharing of know-how and best practice. Working on the EU funded project, Researchers working on this theme have also developed strong international collaborations with Asia and European partners. Indicators can be gathered through the outputs generated by a number of EU funded projects, such as VEGNET (e-supply chain), TRIMAR (e-marketing for SMEs), INVOCED (work based training), MOVE (Asia link), TRICTSME (e-commerce in SMEs), LEFC (e-commerce web site design and training), Webstep1 and webstep2 (business web site for SMEs), etc. SMEs are the main beneficiaries of all funded projects carried out by staff in this research group.

Theme two – Operations and Knowledge Management

Research on the operations and knowledge management covers a range of key issues. The particular focuses of this theme are the knowledge transfer process and key influential factors in SMEs, improving organisations’ operational efficiency by aligning their operational activities with their knowledge management strategies, the knowledge transfer through inter-firm alliances, and particularly, supply chain partnership, knowledge management and sustainable supply chains. Research in these areas aims to improve organisational performance through better operations and knowledge management, thus to stimulate business growth and enhance the sustainability.

Areas in relation to this theme include research on logistics strategies in challenging economic times and the impact of climate change on logistics management. It is anticipated that research outcomes will help provide a theoretical perspective on the processes of implementing strategic adjustments to logistics activities as a response to the changing environment. In practical terms, the study will provide experience-based guidance for companies in the processes of developing and implementing climate change strategies within their logistics activities.

International manufacturing research in the group examines the factors that influence network formation in internationalizing firms and the evolution over time. This work aims to support SMEs and new multinationals as they seek to increase export performance while maintaining domestic market positions. The current pressure of sustainability, austerity and increased international competition has increased the need for successful execution of complex projects by organizations. Organizational Project Management research examines the integration of project and operating activities within firms to achieve immediate goals and strategic objectives.

Theme three – Innovation in Small Companies

This includes how SMEs use partnerships and collaboration to innovate, the relationship between SMEs’ engagements in social networks and innovation. The research has explored sectoral and life cycle preferences for different types of innovation support.

Previous research (HEIF funded) has investigated effective university-SME relationships and has developed processes that allow universities to profile SMEs in terms of innovativeness as well as processes that allow SMEs to benchmark their own innovativeness. See: http://www.uni-east.ac.uk/innovation-test. More recent research (FP7) has investigated how SMEs use multi-partner projects to innovate; investigating the relationships between RTDs and SMEs on European projects. Lessons learnt have been disseminated through a handbook (see www.useanddiffuse.eu). This project has also explored best practice in dissemination and exploitation of research outcomes for SMEs and HEIs. Future research (part externally funded PhD studentships) will extend this knowledge base in three directions. The first is in methodologies for supporting small innovation and growth. The second is in ICT systems to support small business innovation and growth. The third is in the relationship between effective project management in collaborative projects and innovation output in the SMEs involved.

29 The outcomes of all these projects have been disseminated effectively to stakeholders. The co-funded PhD studentships and the relationships established through the LARCI Fellowship will ensure that outcomes have direct impact for stakeholders in terms of REF metrics. Relationships established throughout Europe provide rich case material, consultancy opportunities and effective European dissemination routes.

Bidding Activity

Members of BISC have been active in external and internal bidding activity. A number of research grants have been awarded from internal funding sources, such as: RIT and Dean’s Research Initiatives (see details in current projects). However, the success rate for external bidding still remains very disappointing. A total of six proposals were submitted to various external funding sources, including BBSRC, EC FP7, EC LLP, local authorities, etc. A number of submissions went through the second phase submission. For example, BISC’s proposal on “Development and applications of a methodology on Knowledge Exchange and Translational Research in Agriculture & Food Supply Chain”, prepared by Yanqing Duan, Elly Philpott, Qile He and Stephen Jackson, was short listed for interview in BBSRC head office.

35 3.2. CAM Report

The Centre for Advances in Marketing concentrates on streams of research into branding (particularly SME and financial services), cross-cultural marketing and marketing communications as well as encouraging collaborative and interdisciplinary research, for example pedagogy. The research undertaken by researchers publishing at national and international level provides a platform for practitioner engagement in these streams. The Centre also supports doctoral research with a growing cohort of research students engaged in high level enquiry.

Research Themes in CAM

Theme one - Consumer and Cross-cultural Behaviour

Understanding customers is one of the basic precepts of marketing and continues to receive high priority within the marketing discipline (www.msi.org). Cross-cultural marketing research focuses on examining how culture influences marketing activities and consumer behaviour and how marketing strategies can be adapted to be effective across different cultures. Research in the department focuses on consumer behaviour in the context of services (Dawes Farquhar) and cross-cultural contexts (Czarnecka) benefiting those organizations who seek to provide innovative and culturally sensitive marketing approaches in highly competitive markets.

Key faculty members: 1. Farquhar, Jillian (Prof.) 2. Czarnecka, Barbara

Theme two - Marketing Strategy (Branding)

Marketing managers continue to seek new approaches to segment markets and position brands and reflecting recent interest in the co-creation of customer value in products and services. Incorporating demographic shifts and concomitant changes in tastes and habits are critical to new marketing strategies. To respond to these changes and to address specific deficiencies in current branding approaches such as attempts to create differentiation, research in the department proposes alternative models of branding such as stakeholder models (Dawes Farquhar) and addresses the needs of specific business sectors, such as SMEs (Parrott) contributing to streams of research that challenge industry practices.

Research Themes in CLI

Theme One – Contexts: Entrepreneurship and international organisation

Mobilising ideas and practices around organisation and organising mindful of socio-economic, cultural and institutional contexts. In corporate settings this relates in particular to the efforts of multinational corporations headquartered in western economies when acquiring and/or developing operating units and people within them, evaluated in longitudinal terms. A complementary entrepreneurship strand focuses on the role of women business leaders in emerging economies and within ethnic minority communities in the UK. Empirical research seeks to understand a perceived tendency for the businesses involved to remain at the micro scale of development.

Key faculty members: 1. Arvinen-Muondo, Raisa 2. Badar, Samar (Dr.) 3. Davies, Philip 4. Perkins, Stephen (Prof.) 5. Roomi, Muhammad 6. Schwabenland Christina (Dr.)

38 Theme Two – Leadership and Innovation in Enterprise and Organisation

The interplay between notions of ‘leadership’ creativity and innovation in how leadership (and organisation) is understood and applied, and possible constraints on leadership in entrepreneurial contexts, in those found within bureaucracies, and in third sector ‘social enterprise’ settings. The leadership innovation theme seeks to address a series of interconnected issues regarding (a) the synthesis of psychological and organisational factors for understanding creativity and innovation in work settings; (b) the influence of spatial factors on hierarchy and interrelations in organisations (with particular attention to changing working practices in the public service sector – funding bid submitted); and (c) evaluating social enterprise as a third way of enabling leadership to emerge and be put to productive use in communities with a social economics orientation (funding bid under discussion with ‘clients’).

Key faculty members: 1. Hirst, Alison 2. Holbeche, Linda (Visting Prof.) 3. Loewenberger, Pauline (Dr.) 4. Perkins, Stephen (Prof.) 5. Roomi, Muhammad 6. Schwabenland Christina (Dr.)

Theme three – Agency, Employee Performance and Reward Management

Agency-structure debates related to organisation and employee performance and reward management. This corporate governance, performance and reward management theme paying attention in particular to the cornerstone of HRM theory that alignment between organisational strategy and between all people management aspects is crucial. With transcontinental partners, a three-year research programme is underway to examine this topic in commercial enterprises as well as complementary work investigating performance management in public service modernisation. (An ESRC funding bid is being re-presented to complement transcontinental funding already secured with Australian research partners.) This project is complemented by developmental investigations examining performance management informed by holistic principles and in relation to diverse professional actors in higher educational settings undergoing processes popularly categorised using the term ‘modernisation’.

43 Improving the research environment PhDs The appointment of Dr Samar Baddar and Professor Stephen J. Perkins in 2009, during which time Dr Pauline Lowenberger successfully defended her own thesis, and Dr Konstantinos Kakavelakis, Dr Christina Schwabenland and Dr Qi Wei in 2010 has increased our capacity for PhD supervision as well as allowing us to offer a broader range of expertise in the area of organisational behaviour. Dr Schwabenland is under consideration for appointment to a Readership, with a panel being convened during autumn 2010. A further appointment to a Readership in Business Strategy (expected in early 2011) will further enhance our capacity to achieve targeted review and offers to PhD applicants. In the last six months, we have been contacted by [around half a dozen applicant a week for PhDs, and have interviewed many of them]. Among these applicants, n students have registered and n students have been informally accepted subject to revising their proposals. It is likely that we will have [over n] PhD students registered in SHRM by January 2011. Current registration is at n with only n FTE members of staff. In addition to the two PhD completions so far in this REF period, we expect one further students to complete over the coming six month period [check?].

Conferences/seminars [Discussion of support for papers presented at refereed academic conferences and keynote presentations at external events. Also ongoing collaboration with institutions such as CIPD and London School of Economics and EIASM.]

Staff development Building on a regular research seminar programme, we will be meeting monthly to undertake focused ‘forensic’ analysis of papers published in highly ranked academic journals in the business and management literature, to enable lessons to be drawn to inform SHRM faculty members’ own submissions. Regular meetings will also be held to discuss our approach to the REF, and for the purposes of developing junior researchers as well as existing staff members through discussion/review of, for example: grant application plans and drafts and work-in-progress research publications. We are actively encouraging and supporting all staff and students to present at conferences (see the list above) and will continue to do so.

Plan for next year

Staffing We will be appointing a new Lecturer in Language Assessment in October 2010 and are hoping for a further 2 permanent research active members by 2012. This will increase CRELLA’s research staffing from five to seven in time for the REF. We lost two senior part-time members of staff: Roger Hawkey retired during 2009 and Liz Hamp-Lyons who resigned from

49 her post for personal reasons. However, both will continue to have a role with CRELLA as visiting professors and contribute to research supervision and be entered into the REF in an appropriate capacity.

International partnerships We will strengthen the links between CRELLA and national testing organisations in Asia. Recently we have made an important breakthrough in Japan. The Society for Testing English Proficiency (STEP), the premiere Japanese language testing organisation awarded us an initial contract for 15K to help them prepare a new test in English for entry to Japanese Universities in collaboration with the prestigious Sophia University in Tokyo. We are shortly to be contracted by the Ministry of Education in Singapore to assist them in the design of their spoken language tests (45K). For more than 10 years Prof. Cyril Weir has been advising the research team of the General English Proficiency Test (GEPT), developed by the Language Training & Testing Centre (LTTC) at National Taiwan University. He is currently an international member of their research committee and was the keynote presenter at their recent 10th anniversary celebrations. Weir continues his connection with the College English Test in China through his visiting professorship role at Shanghai Jiaotong where the test is based. Prof. Liz Hamp-Lyons is the international consultant for the NEEA-funded project to develop an assessment of 'Advanced Academic English Competence' for China (NEEA= National Educational Examinations Authority).

We are encouraging overseas academics in our field to visit and work with us in applying the socio cognitive test validation framework developed in CRELLA to exam development in their own countries. We have had 9 academic visitors (see the report above).

Publications We will continue to publish regularly in high quality journals and with leading publishing houses such as OUP/CUP. Our forthcoming books, chapters and journal papers are listed below.

Research funding CRELLA will continue to work with;  commercial partners on test research and development projects such as Password  international examining boards such as Cambridge ESOL on research and development studies  overseas national and international testing organisations such as STEP (Japan), GEPT (Taiwan) and ALTE (Europe)  overseas Ministries of Education such as Singapore.  research partners such as the Cambridge University Research Centre for English and Applied Linguistics and the University of Nottingham on English Profile

As shown in the above report, from January 2009 to August 2010, we were awarded 14 research grants. We will continue to identify successfully opportunities for research funding.

Improving the research environment PhDs The appointment of Stephen Bax in 2009 has increased our capacity for PhD supervision as well as allowing us to offer a broader range of expertise in the area of language learning. Fumiyo Nakatsuhara, our research assistant who recently completed her PhD, has begun to play a role in research supervision and we wish to promote her to a permanent lectureship in the near future. We hope a further appointment in the next year will enhance our capacity to deal with the ever increasing flow of PhD applicants. In the last 6 months, we have been contacted by at least one applicant a week for PhDs, and have interviewed many of them on Skype. Among these applicants, 1 student has registered and 6 students have been informally accepted subject to revising their proposals. It is likely that we will have over 20 PhD students registered in CRELLA by January 2011. Current registration is at 14 with only 4 FTE members of staff.

In addition to the two PhD completions so far in this REF period, we expect a further three students to complete over the coming six month period.

Conferences/seminars We hosted the annual UK Language Testing Forum at CRELLA in November 2009 and intend to hold another international conference in this REF period. We will continue our programme of monthly research seminars in the department and will also arrange a summer and winter research-in-progress seminar day in CRELLA each year for all staff and students including PhD students from abroad who can now participate through Skype.

Staff development We will continue with monthly meetings to discuss our REF strategy, and with our weekly Staff Development meetings which are aimed at developing junior researchers as well as existing staff members through discussion/review of, for example: grant application plans and drafts and publication plans and drafts.

We are actively encouraging and supporting all staff and students to present at conferences (see the list above) and will continue to do so.

Facilities

51 We have been building up our library resources in the areas of language learning and assessment (£1000+ spent in 2009) and have purchased additional software packages for data analysis (i.e. WINSTEPS, FACETS, NeuroSolutions, MAXQDA) to improve our service to research students. We have also recently received 27 boxes of language testing materials following the retirement of Profess Charles Alderson: the complete University of Lancaster Testing Archive. We will continue this process of building up our library resources and purchasing software packages.

3.5. ResCAF Report

Research Themes in ResCAF

Theme one – Management Accounting

Since the early 1980s a number of innovative management accounting techniques have been developed such as activity- based management, strategic management accounting, and the balanced scorecard. These ‘new’ techniques have been designed to support modern technologies and new management processes, such as total quality management and just- in-time production systems, and the search for competitive advantage to meet the challenge of global competition.

The new developments in management accounting and the changing nature of businesses have motivated researchers to gain understanding of practices of management accounting. This theme of research includes research in performance measurement and management, capital investment decisions, implementation of enterprise resources planning (ERP) and budgetary participation.

Key faculty members: 1. Abdel-Kader, Magdy (Prof.) 2. Carman, Rob 3. Patrick, Peter 4. Two research students

Theme two – Financial Reporting and Corporate Governance

This theme of research focuses on understanding of issues arise from the separation between ownership and control, changes in regulatory framework of financial reporting and standards, market based accounting and financial statement analysis.

Key faculty members: 1. Kinman, Russell 2. Ekuban, Andrew 3. Mkumbuzi, Walter (Dr.) 4. Tse, Chin-Bun (Prof.)

Theme three – Finance and Banking

This theme of research focuses on issues related to bank lending behaviour, the impact of constrained liquidity on small firms in Europe, stock trading in small companies and corporate finance,

Key faculty members: 1. Eales, David (Visiting Prof.) 2. Sangray, Sudesh (Dr.) 3. Anthony Stevenson (Dr.) 4. Tse, Chin-Bun (Prof.)

NB It is anticipated that key faculty membership of the ResCAF themed teams will expand by 4-5 as new appointees arrive in the Business School.

52 3.6. SLRC Report

Research Themes in SLRC

Theme One - Muslim Women’s Rights and the Principle of Universality of Human Rights: the Town of Luton as a Case Study

The research project aims to analyse how Muslim women approach and understand the concept of human rights. The research team seeks to understand how Muslim women reconcile their Muslim beliefs, cultural practices and traditions with universal human rights standards. Luton has an interesting social fabric that provides much illustration to anyone working in any field. In the field of Islamic law, Luton’s Muslim community provides a sample to analyze how Muslim women reconcile their religious beliefs with the human rights granted by the United Kingdom, the European Union and international standards. The core idea is to conduct a survey among Muslim women from different social backgrounds and origins to know how they approach so-called western human rights, that are actually EU and international standards, and how they reconcile these standards with their own cultural or religious definition of what human rights are.

The researchers will in particular look at the theory of the new hermeneutics of the Shari’a, a powerful tool that allows for the learned scholars interpreting Islamic legal sources (the Quran among other) to adopt a reformist stance and interpret Islam in a modern way so that the gap between universal human rights and Islamic law is bridged. One outcome is to see whether Muslim women are aware of this possibility for change and whether their community uses it.

Other intended outcomes of the research are to inform drafting guidelines for all professionals working with these communities so that their integration improves. Integration prevents radicalization and easy discourse on Islam that leads to violence. The guidelines would then be made available to social workers, schoolteachers and others in Luton, as well as helping policy makers and human rights NGOs, as well as governmental agencies, developing strategies and tools that accommodate the needs and beliefs of the British Muslim population.

Theme Two - Human Trafficking and its Consequences: ‘Crimmigration’ in the European Union

This research proposal will seek to examine the phenomenon of ‘crimmigration’ in the United Kingdom: how do victims of human trafficking become criminals? The first part of the project will deals with the role of mafia in human trafficking with a particular focus on Kosovo and Albania. Trajectories and channels used for human trafficking will be analysed, in connection with other forms of trafficking. The project will look at how victims of human trafficking are victimised several times by different actors: first by the mafia, then through exploitation once they arrive in the United Kingdom and eventually by the UK authorities when caught. The project will then focus on the case of children victims of human trafficking and treated as criminals. To conclude the cycle, the last part of the research will look at how victims of human trafficking become part of the traffic and the mafia. Therefore, the whole process from departure of the home country, willingly or unwillingly, will be analysed until the return to the point of departure, focusing on the process of criminalisation of victims.

53 Another focus of the project will be to examine to what extent the UK Government has been effective in implementing the provisions of the 2000 UN Palermo Protocol on the trafficking of human beings (UN Palermo Protocol to prevent, suppress and punish trafficking in persons, especially women and children, supplementing the UN Convention against Transnational Crime 2000). The UK is obliged to apply the fundamental principles of human rights law, that is, human rights are universal and inalienable, independent and indivisible, equal and non discriminatory and should be without a hierarchy. The UK has introduced or ratified a number of international and national legislation to suppress and prevent trafficking for sexual and labour exploitation. There is however still a lack of coordinated protection for the victims of trafficking who find themselves in the UK. The project will concentrate on examining from a human rights protectionist perspective the efforts made by the Government to fulfil its obligations in relation to the trafficking of human beings, it will not consider those who choose to be smuggled as illegal economic migrants.

The theoretical background of the project is currently the focus of the research team. A common research proposal has been drafted and an article should be published over the summer. The next step will be to work with the detention centre located in Yarl’s Wood.

Key faculty members: 1. Anicée Van Engeland (Dr.) 2. Carolyn Naughton * 3. Brian Joe Stevens (PhD Student) 4. Three Research students

Theme Three – Ethics in Large Legal Firms

A bid to the ESRC is in development via University of Westminster for a three-year study of ethics in large legal firms, with Professor John Flood and the Centre for Legal Profession and Legal Services. The project will be financed by research funding from, amongst others, Nuffield Foundation, ESRC, Law Society, Legal Services Commission, Bar Council, Department for Constitutional Affairs, German Science Foundation, and ACLEC. The work includes research on solicitor- advocates, women in law, pro bono and ethics, theorisations of legal ethics and morality, legal education, entry into the legal profession, cause lawyering, lawyer-client relationships, and the globalization of the legal profession.

During the last 20 years research and scholarship on the delivery of legal services and the organization and work of the legal profession has expanded rapidly. Abel and Lewis’ three-volume series in the 1980s opened a new field of research both national and comparative. Since then there has emerged a wide range of research approaches to legal profession and legal services: e.g. organizational, geographical, lawyer-client relationships, ethics and malpractice, the politics of lawyers, cause lawyering, and diversity in the legal profession.

Law is a global business and profession. Although the main impact will be felt in the UK, the eventual repercussions will be global. This is an opportune time to be working with the new research centre on the legal profession and legal services as they are experiencing their most profound changes in many years following the passing of the Legal Services Act 2007. In addition to its mainstream research activities the centre will study and inform both the profession and others who are affected by these changes. The act introduces new institutional actors and practices and may require a radical rethinking of conceptions of professional ethics in the context of transparency and accountability. It may also change the way in which clients engage with and perceive legal services and alternatives to traditional legal service delivery.

Key faculty members: 1. Janine Griffiths-Baker (Prof.) 2. Research Assistant (TBA) 3. PhD Scholarship

Theme Four - Business and the Law: Commercial Law, Finance Law and Banking law

The three masters offered by the School of Law are framed by experts in the areas of commercial law, business law, finance law, banking law and aviation law with two trends: international law and Islamic law. The intended impact of this theme is first to inform that teaching; secondly, to contribute to this ‘bulk of law’ through a public outreach towards practitioners. The domains covered in research are taxation, International commercial law, International Litigation, International Commercial Arbitration, Investment Treaty Arbitration, Protection of Foreign Investment, international Dispute Resolution and insurance law.

54 A first segment of the research deals with State immunity. A second segment of the research, in the field of business and the law, deals with taxation at the EU level with an accent on the principle of sovereignty and the attempt by the EU to harmonise tax law into a uniform body. A third focus is on Insurance law, to analyse Insurance law reform, consumer insurance law and public and private sector ombudsman schemes. The work of the law commission is scrutinized and the researchers intend to draft guidelines for the law commission. Aviation law is a sub topic of this theme: the lead researcher works on the impact of EU regulations and international conventions on passengers’ rights. A final focus under this theme focuses on Islamic commercial law, Islamic banking and Islamic finance: the research project is mainly about the process of reconciliation between Islamic business instruments and international instruments.

Key faculty members: 1. Hakeem Seriki (Dr.) 2. Sylvia Elwes 3. Tariq Khan 4. Chris Dixon 5. Peter Tyldsley 6. Four research students

Theme Five - Criminal law and Criminology

The proposed Research Centre for Socio-Legal Studies is currently developing a vibrant programme of research in the fields of mercy killings; sentencing and punishment; evidence; public opinion, politics and crime control; victims; national security; and criminological issues including obscene publications, miscarriages of justice, anti-social behaviour and prison overcrowding. The researchers are committed to connecting criminological work to law, keeping a multi-disciplinary approach.

One research project is an analysis of miscarriage of justice and legal ethics: it analyses violation of codes of ethics during criminal trials. A code of ethics can be thought of as a moral compass that helps one decide how to act in critical moments. Ethics is particularly important for those who are in a position of power and prominence, as these individuals have the greatest influence on society. It is important for professionals in the criminal justice field to study ethics, because mistakes by these professionals can be extremely costly: a miscarriage of justice can destroy lives. And unethical acts weaken society and public trust in the justice system. The impact of this research project is broad; the team will draft guidelines, looking for ethical norms consistent with human rights issues.

62 Institute for Research in Applicable Computing Annual Research Report 2009 - 2010

63 Annual Report 2009-10

Professor Yong Yue October 2010

1. Overview The Institute for Research in Applicable Computing (IRAC), focuses on solving real-world problems by developing novel applications of computer technology and by providing innovative tools to enable users to employ computer technology more efficiently and more effectively, and aims at producing high quality research results and PhD students. In the same time, IRAC is also conducting research at the highest level in theoretical computer science such as advanced number-theoretic cryptography.

IRAC has approximately 40 academic staff of who 8 are professors, 20 research fellows/assistants and 50 research students. A further 5 0.2 FTE professors have been appointed over the last year in addition to a number of other fractional research posts.

IRAC Board, comprising Faculty Dean and Associate Dean, Knowledge Hub and Research Directorate staff, relevant Liberian, Business Interaction Manager, professors, reader, staff reps, research student reps, has met three times last year to discuss and steering the strategy and operations of the Institute.

The Institute has the overall objective to sustain and further grow the research within each of the three centres, in line with the University Strategy. The Institute has utilised the RAE funds (QR and RDP), following the approval of its strategic plan. The majority of the QR money has been used to employ research key staff for sustainable developments while a small proportion of the fund has been dedicated to encouraging and supporting individual members in developing relevant research (such as strategic link building, conferences and small items of equipment) and research student recruitment.

The Institute has three main centres, CCGV, the Centre for Computer Graphics and Visualisation, led by Professor Gordon Clapworthy, CREDIT, the Centre for Research in Distributed Technologies, led by Professor Carsten Maple, and CWiND, the Centre for Wireless Network Design, led by Professor Jie Zhang.

64 CCGV works in the areas of computer graphics, animation and visualisation and has five main spheres of activity:

 graphics algorithms and visualisation, led by Prof. Gordon Clapworthy  image-based graphics, led by Prof. Feng Dong  computer games development, led by Prof. Edmond Prakash  graphics-related web services led by Dr Enjie Liu  GPU-based graphics led by Dr Baoquan Liu.

CCGV has a purpose-built laboratory which currently accommodates 12 postdoctoral researchers, with further appointments to be made.

CWiND has become one of the largest, best-funded and leading groups in radio access network (RAN) planning and optimisation. It is now well-known in the wireless communications community in Europe. It has become a reputable wireless communications group in Europe. Since 2005, CWiND members have been awarded over £4.0M funding by the EPSRC, the Nuffield Foundation and the EC. There are over 20 postdoctoral Research Fellows (RFs) and PhD students at CWiND. CWiND research covers almost the whole spectrum of radio access network (RAN) planning and optimisation (P&O). The research topics include new radio propagation models, automatic UMTS/HSPA/LTE/WiMAX planning and optimisation, simulation methods, and the use of high performance computing (HPC) in radio propagation, static and dynamic simulator and RAN optimisation engine.

CREDIT has a diverse range of research areas covering artificial intelligence, robotics, virtual reality, distributed and parallel computing, data mining, security and cryptography, ubiquitous computing, wireless sensor networks, and operations research. Collaborations exist worldwide with academia and industry, including Metropolitan Police, Harvard University and MIT. A wide range of research and consultancy projects have been conducted. The Centre hosts over 30 research students many of them being supported from their government / employer. Six fractional posts of who five are at professorial level have been appointed over the last year to enhance its profile aiming at REFable research output, research income and research student recruitment. Members of the Centre have given keynote speeches at major international conferences, acted as editor/associate editor/guest editor for a number of international journals and been chair/co-chair, programme committee members for a range of international conferences.

81 Institute of Research in the Applied Natural Sciences Annual Research Report 2009 - 2010

82 Report of LIRANS Institute of Research in the Applied Natural Sciences (2009-10)

LIRANS research activities for the reporting period were focused on the implementation of the University of Bedfordshire Research Strategy (2009-2013) including maintaining high levels of research outputs and particularly publications, grant applications and increase of research student numbers. 65 publications were produced during the reporting period including 25 published refereed journal papers. In addition, 22 presentations and invited lectures were made at international conferences. Following a record number of research degree completions in 2008/09, LIRANS recruited a record number of research students in 2009/10 and the details of LIRANS current research degrees can be found at the end of this report. LIRANS continue to generate significant funding from industry and other sources through our research, product development, services, consultancy and postgraduate training activities. A large number of grant applications (16 in total) was also made to various funding bodies during the reporting period (see details below).

LIRANS presently consists of 20 staff and 12 visiting professors and fellows. The current LIRANS structure and research areas are detailed below (names of group leaders are underlined):

Cell and Cryobiology Research Group (Prof Tiantian Zhang, Prof David Rawson, Dr Emma Spikings, Tiziana Zampolla, Kunjan Desai, Siji Anil)

There are currently several research themes within the Group:  The development of protocols for the successful in vitro maturation and cryopreservation of fish oocytes/ovarian tissues.  The development of zebrafish embryonic stem cells line and cryopreservation of zebrafish embryonic stem cells.  Investigation of low temperature damage on cellular metabolism and genetic integrity.  Molecular biology studies of the impact of chemical and physical insult to cells, including oocytes, early stage embryos and embryonic cells.  The establishment and development of cryo-banks of DNA and cells of endangered fish species. LIRANS is the co-ordinating centre for fish cryobanks of the global ‘Frozen Ark’ project.  In vitro maturation and vitrification of mammalian gametes and embryos.

Sensor Research Group (Dr Barry Haggett, Prof David Rawson, Prof Brian Birch, Prof Les Ebdon, Dr Roberto Andres, Dr Simon Bloxham, Ms Gowri Dep)

The Group carries out development work on aspects of chemical sensor systems:  The development of single-use electrochemical sensors and biosensors for environmental, health, well-being and quality control applications – funded directly by industry or via risk sharing industry/government programmes; and

83  The development of enabling technologies for inclusion as components in single-use sensing systems – in collaboration with industry, university research groups and key laboratories.  The development of cell based biosensors for environmental monitoring and toxicity assessment.

Biomedicine and Nutrition Research Group ( Prof Jan Domin, Dr Bushra Ahmed, Dr Robin Maytum, Dr John Reynolds, Dr Shaobo Zhou, Dr Zheying Zhu)

The research interests of the group are currently diverse and include  Exploring the therapeutic potential of intracellular signalling molecules as drug targets in the treatment of breast and kidney cancer and chronic inflammatory diseases  Characterising the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease.  Using proteomics and metabonomics to study nutritional metabolism and cancer  Examining the molecular basis of neuromuscular degenerative diseases  Establishing the cellular basis of autoimmune kidney disease and developing novel treatments

Environmental Monitoring Research Group (Prof James Crabbe, Prof Angus Duncan)

 Developing novel methods for monitoring coral colony growth using image analysis, computer modelling with a remote operated vehicle (ROV). This is being used to monitor the effects of climate change, global warming and other anthropogenic influences on coral reef ecosystems.

 Volcanology research. Current research embraces two themes: (a) Investigating volcanic processes, in particular lava flows, to better understand the hazard. (b) To consider ways of reducing vulnerability through research into the nature of communities living on the flanks of volcanoes. This currently involves two projects. The first, in collaboration with the Universities of the Azores and Liverpool, is an evaluation into both the immediate and long term responses to the Capelinhos eruption, Azores. The second, in collaboration with the University of Liverpool and funded by the British Academy, is investigating the impact on human activity of 19 th century eruptions in particular of Mount Etna and how responses changed from the 18th century through to the destructive eruption of 1928.

LIRANS Services and Consultancy

LIRANS Services is a new initiative to provide external businesses and others with facilitated access to the range of specialist equipment available at 250 Butterfield. Currently, emphasis is being placed on access to the confocal microscopes made available by capital funding from the East of England Development Agency. Delegates from businesses – and from universities – across the region were attracted to the three training days made available in the first half of 2010 (March, May and July) and there are more sessions to come in the following months. Co-ordinated by Dr Andres, the training sessions enjoy time and support from a wide range of LIRANS staff/students. The enterprise continues to benefit from the unstinting support of the Innovation Director (Dr Randle) and the first customers for the microscopy services have arrived. A web-site has been set up at www.beds.ac.uk/reserach/lirans/services and it is planned that the training/marketing approach used for the confocal microscopes be extended to other key pieces of equipment.

For consultancy activities, three quarterly reports were produced for Central Bedfordshire and Bedford unitary authorities by Prof S. Marriott and Dr Ramesh Durbarry (Div. of Tourism) over the reporting period on economic and environmental impacts for Luton and generated consultancy income of £20,000.

Research Plans for 2010-11

95 LIRANS’ priority for 2010-11 will continue to be the implementation of the Research Strategy (2009- 2014). The focus will be on increased bidding activities, increasing research student numbers and sustaining high level of research output and especially publications.

Cell and Cryobiology Research Group

 Studies for establishment of protocols for in vitro culture of early stage zebrafish ovarian follicles isolated from ovarian masses and within the ovarian fragments will be undertaken. Further studies on cryopreservation of ovarian fragments and impact of cryopreservation protocol at sub- cellular level will be carried out.  Studies on mitochondria and cytoskeleton proteins interaction have been carried out in zebrafish ovarian follicles. Preliminary results on the effect of cryoprotectants exposure and cryopreservation procedure on zebrafish ovarian fragments have been obtained. Mitochondria function, actin and tubulin interaction were investigated following the exposure to cryoprotectant and cryopreservation. Further studies on cytoskeleton elements interaction will be considered as this information will assist both on the development of in vitro culture protocols and cryopreservation protocols design.  Studies will be carried out on mtDNA replication analysis of ZF follicles and embryos together with impact of CPAs and chilling on mtDNA replication.  Studies on the development and cryopreservation of zebrafish stem cell line.  Development of cryopreservation protocols for coral oocytes.  The Fish Cryobank – now holds DNA, blood and viable cell/tissue samples from 120 species of fish, with a total of 620 cryopreserved samples. The UK fish collection now holds 107 species and further collections are planned for late 2010 and 2011. Critically endangered species are being collected for ex situ collections in zoos and aquaria as and when they become available.

Sensor Research Group

There are two lines of research in sensors underway within LIRANS – (i) whole cell biosensors for environmental toxicity assessment, and (ii) sensors for key functionalities linked to health and well being. Both these areas, and the proposed research outlined below, have high industrial relevance.

 Historically, the Sensor Research Group has had very few research students since most of its funding was from industrial contract research that required skilled and experienced staff able to focus on delivery of results to the customer. The group is committed to increasing significantly the number of research students so as to facilitate the production of data that can be submitted to refereed academic journals.  LIRANS has been collaborating with the National Physical Laboratory’s Biotechnology Unit to develop bioelectrochemical sensor devices. It is an objective to increase this collaboration from one PhD student (current) to two PhD students.  LIRANS is forging links with local and international businesses to increase its research and consultancy activities in areas of sensors and measurement.  The group will continue to make time and other resources available in order to make the ultra- high performance liquid chromatograph and materials characterisation confocal microscope available to generate new funding streams via LIRANS Services.  Exploitation of bacterial and algal biosensors for monitoring urban river water quality and waste water treatment plant discharges.  Design and development of sensors for monitoring phase changes (including glass formation) during cooling of media and biological material to -196°C, and during warming/thaw.

96 Biomedicine and Nutrition Research Group

In addition to each member of staff developing further their own research initiatives and collaborations, in the year ahead we must aim to consolidate and expand research income. As part of this effort we must define a limited number of key research projects to provide a greater focus for our researcher staff in Biomedical Science. The first of these areas will be Diabetes where we are able to model aspects of this disease at a cellular and molecular level in vitro using cell culture and could begin to examine changes using molecular, proteomic and metabonomic approaches. Our expertise in neuronal cell death and muscle cell biology is highly relevant to the study of Diabetic Neuropathy (nerve death) where prolonged periods of high blood glucose damage the nerves such as those that allow us to feel pain leading to leg ulcers, problems with the digestive system, eyesight and impotence. Finally, diabetes is the leading risk factor for chronic kidney disease another area of research expertise within our team. Given that complications from diabetes manifest in the elderly and with a progressively longer life expectance in the Western world, the demand to identify novel therapeutic strategies to improve control of blood sugar and limit complications such as Diabetic Neuropathy and Diabetic Nephropathy will markedly increase.

Environmental Monitoring Research Group Research Plans 2010-11

To undertake a field research survey on Mount Etna in September 2010 collecting data on the impact and response to the 19th century eruptions of Mount Etna (funded by British Academy). It is intended to finish the research in 2011 and submit for publication (in collaboration with University of Liverpool). It is intended to bid for funding to Treaty of Windsor and EU in partnership with Universities of Azores and Liverpool to continue research in the field of human responses to volcanic eruptions.

100 1. Introduction

1.1 IASR Research profile and research activities

The 2008 Research Assessment Exercise identified 50% of IASR research outputs produced by 10 (FTE) researchers submitted as either ‘world leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’. As a result of recruitment and staff development funded by RAE and external research grant monies during 2009 to 2010, the IASR has 14.5 (FTE) researchers who could be submitted to the REF immediately and a further five who, on present showing, will be eligible for submission in 2014. This constitutes a 90%+ increase in research capacity since the 2008 RAE.

2009 to 2010 has also seen important advances in doctoral enrolments and doctoral completions. This is mainly a result of the expansion of the Professional Doctorate Programme to include ‘Leadership in Children’s and Young People’s Services’. On present showing, we anticipate that by 2014 IASR will be generating 10 doctoral completions per annum which constitutes an increase of something over 800% on 2008.

In addition to validating the new Professional Doctorate, The IASR staff have developed and validated two new Masters programmes. These offer further opportunities for progression for current and new students.

Central to the work of the IASR is the development of a lively and active research culture within the Department of Applied Social Studies. The IASR has actively supported the University’s Research Strategy to develop research skills and experience of staff that hold large teaching responsibilities. Four members of staff are currently pursuing professional doctorates within the IASR and another five have successfully bid for small grants, drawn from IASR research funds, to release them from teaching for specific research project work.

This expansion of research capacity is demonstrated in the growth in the numbers of articles published in learned journals; edited volumes; published research reports; and presentations at prestigious academic and professional conferences. The 2014 REF requires Universities to demonstrate impact. In our field this will mean impact upon the academy, social and criminal justice policy and professional practice.

To this end we have two strands of work within the IASR: one focusing on our work ‘with and for children and young people’, the other on ‘social work and social care research’. While each strand has its own particular areas of work, our close staff working practices ensure that we share and contribute ideas, interlinking research activities between the two strands.

The IASR is committed to maintain its work as a centre of excellence for Applied Social Research, ensuring wherever possible that research activities are developed in partnership with service providers and users, that consideration of ethics are at the centre of every stage of our work and that research findings are integrated into policy and practice at local, national and international levels. The submissions included in this report give ample evidence that IASR staff are at the forefront of their respective fields, evidenced by their membership of editorial boards, membership of key governmental and extra-governmental groupings and through the advisory and consultative roles they play.

1.3 Investment in developing research : the Institute of Applied Social Research (IASR) and the Department of Applied Social Studies (ASS).

The IASR is committed to developing the research culture across the Department of Applied Social Research, offering support to developing researchers to allocate time for their research work and to encourage the development of research into teaching. This is central to the IASR commitment to enhancing a research culture throughout the department and to support the relationship between research and teaching.

To achieve this end the IASR has this year:

 committed £25,000 of research funds to supporting developing researchers. This funding was awarded following submission of a research plan, agreed by the Head of Department and Director of IASR. Four developing researchers were awarded funding to support their work. Outcomes have been very encouraging with a publication submitted to the Journal of Social Work Practice and another accepted for publication by the British Journal of Social Work.

 Supported four ASS staff to study on the new Professional Doctorate in Leadership in Children’s and Young People’s Services (see 1.5 below). This new programme, developed from the successful Professional Doctorate in Youth Justice now has a total student group of over 30 students.

 Allocated a research bursary of £15,000 to a member of staff to develop research into the ‘personalisation in adult social care’ (see appendix 3).

 Run a ‘Research in Progress’ seminar series, led by Dr Isabelle Brodie offering opportunity for all staff to share initial ideas about potential research projects; to discuss preparing articles and chapters for publication and to share information about ongoing research work.

Seminars included:

 ‘How Tony Blair fed the feral beast of the media and savaged the criminal justice system’ led by Prof Jon Silverman,  ‘Supporting adults and children living with substance use and DV?’ led by Dr Sarah Galvani and  ‘ Involving young people in policy and services relating to sexual exploitation’ led by Camille Warrington.

102  Taken a lead role in managing the development of, and delivering teaching for, specific research methods units at undergraduate level. Led by Dr Cherilyn Dance, the IASR team are consolidating learning for research methods in both academic and professional vocational training in ASS.

 Developed and validated two new Masters Programmes: ‘Applied Public Policy: Children’s and Young People’s Services’ and MA Comparative European Perspectives: Youth Work and Social Disadvantage (see 1.5 below). Fiona Factor has led the team to develop these new programmes. They offer exciting progression opportunities for current and new undergraduate students studying within social studies. The new masters programmes, with a first recruitment intake of a total of 11 students 2010-2011, has laid the foundations for students to progress to study on the Professional Doctorate for Leadership in Children’s and Young People’s services.

 Taken on responsibility for Kensington Consultancy Centre (KCC) Professional Doctorate Students. Professor Michael Preston Shoot and Professor Ravi Kohli are supervising and teaching on the programme which is co-ordinated by Professor John Shotter. 1.4 New appointments to the IASR

In addition to new staff appointed to work with The Tilda Goldberg Centre for Social Work and Social Care (see 4.1 below) two new research staff have been appointed to work with the IASR and ASS.

Lorena Arocha was appointed in June 2010 to support and develop the ongoing work of the IASR. Lorena completed her doctoral thesis which was both a quantitative and qualitative analysis of contemporary forms of slavery. She has also worked on past and present forms of slavery in the Indian Ocean and Indian Sub-continent and worked on a third-sector evaluation of the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Human Trafficking in the UK, examining whether the UK government was compliant to its obligations under the Convention. She is currently looking to develop work with trafficked Romany children and young people and to understand the challenges ex-child soldiers face.

Camille Warrington was appointed to start in September 2010 as ‘Young People’s Participation Development Officer’. This work is focusing on developing young people’s participation in research and curriculum development, supporting the IASR’s commitment to developing young people’s participation with our work. Ethical issues, rationale for participation and mechanisms for securing supportive practice with young people are some of the areas developed in this work.

1.5 New Postgraduate programmes run by the IASR

The IASR has developed and validated two new masters programmes during 2009 – 2010.

The Masters in Comparative European Perspectives: Youth Work and Social Disadvantage is a part-time degree developed by the Institute of Applied Social Research (IASR) within the Department of Applied Social Studies (ASS). It is a collaborative project with HUMAK University of Applied Sciences, Helsinki, Finland and the University of Tartu, Kultuur Academy Viljandi, Estonia (The consortium). This consortium is committed to embedding European citizenship and perspectives into the curriculum and to provide youth workers with a pathway which will increase their awareness of social justice and responsibility in policymaking on a local, national, and international level. The course will provide advanced career enhancement opportunities for senior practitioners and managers within youth work services as well as for graduates currently employed within the field. We believe that the opportunity to consider policy, methods and models of practice from our EU partners will give students a considerable insight and advantage back in their workplace to develop new ways of engaging young people in services.

The Masters in Applied Public Policy: Children’s and Young People’s Services is a part-time degree developed with staff from different research groupings within the IASR. Focused on the demands of the government’s ‘2020 Children and Young People’s Workforce Strategy’, the course aims to provide advanced career enhancement opportunities for senior practitioners and managers within children’s and young people’s services, as well as those looking to a career in such services.

Professional Doctorate in Leadership in Children’s and Young People’s Services. This Professional Doctorate is a part-time degree developed collaboratively by the University’s Institute for Applied Social Research, the NACRO Youth Crime Unit, Barnardos Children’s Charity and the Brathay Trust. The partnership arrangements with these external agencies is essential in maintaining the applied nature of the training and for offering students opportunities 103 to engage with practice in the development of their research activities. Nine students were recruited to this new programme 2009 to 2010 and a further 8 have expressed interest in registering in 2010.

The award has three discreet pathways, Children’s Services, Young People’s Services and Youth Justice Services, each taught by internationally recognised specialists in these fields. The PDLCYPS aims to equip senior practitioners and managers in children’s and young people’s services and allied fields with the knowledge-base and theoretical grounding in social, childcare, youth and criminal justice policy and practice, and research methods to enable them to make an original contribution to their agency and their professional field.

1.6 Post graduate student support

Throughout the year work has continued towards fostering a lively research culture within the Institute, of which research students are an integral part. Students on both traditional PhD and Professional Doctorate programmes responded to the invitation to submit abstracts for the University Research Conference.

There are regular research seminars within the Institute that students are encouraged to attend and, as appropriate, present their own research. As of next year these will be extended to incorporate more reflection and discussion on methods and theory based on relevant published papers.

All IASR research students are also encouraged to attend Making Research Count events. Over the course of the year we have also sought to facilitate opportunities for those following traditional PhD programmes to meet, and share some seminar time, with professional doctorate students. We intend to develop this further in future programmes, extending the opportunities to students on the new Masters awards.

2. Making Research Count

Making Research Count is a national collaborative research dissemination initiative, established by a consortium of Universities (including the University of Bedfordshire) and developed by regional centres. The consortium of universities has a proven track record in social work and social care research as well as providing social work education at qualifying and post qualifying levels. These common interests provide a foundation to promote “knowledge-based practice” in social work and social care.

Currently there are 10 universities involved in Making Research Count, having in total some 60 member agencies. The University of Bedfordshire has fifteen partners, each paying an annual subscription in return for a negotiated range of services. Our partners are: Bedford Borough Council, Bedfordshire and Luton CAMHS, Buckinghamshire University Social Work Department, Central Bedfordshire Council, Hertfordshire County Council, Luton Borough Council, London Borough of Barnet, London Borough of Brent, London Borough of Enfield, London Borough of Hackney, London Borough of Haringey, London Borough of Tower Hamlets, London Borough of Islington, Milton Keynes Council and Swan Fostering Ltd.

Services currently provided by Making Research Count at the University of Bedfordshire include seminars and conferences addressing topical issues in social work and social care, journal clubs and access to specialist advice/consultancy. 2009-10 has had successful outcomes from 7 conferences and 30 seminars including 13 drawing directly on the work of IASR staff.

3. Visiting Professors The IASR has developed close working relationships with a number of ‘Visiting Professors’, whose contribution to the work of the IASR has been invaluable, raising the profile of our activates and offering opportunity for collaborative research and teaching. Visiting professors have continued to work with IASR staff on joint publications, on organising and

104 presenting at conference events and contributing to the development of research bids. For further details of visiting professors profiles and activities, see Appendix 1.

4. IASR Research Centre Activities 2009-2010

The IASR is engaged with two major bodies of research. One focuses on Social Work and Social Care Research. This includes work of the Tilda Goldberg centre for Social Work and Social Care and the Social Work and the Professional Practice and Law Research Centre.

The other body of work focuses on Research with and for young people. This includes The Vauxhall Centre for the Study of Crime and The International Centre for the Study of Sexually Exploited Children and Trafficked Young people.

Both bodies of work are underpinned by our commitment to develop and deliver applied social research, building on partnership agreements between the University and leading NGOs, local and central government and international organisations. Findings of research are integrated into the development of theory, policy and practice at a local, national and international level. Social Work and Social Care Research

Social work and social care is a major area of research within the IASR. At its heart is the Goldberg Centre. The Centre serves as a focus for a broader group of researchers with an interest in social care for adults and children.

4.1 The Tilda Goldberg Centre for Social Work and Social Care

A major event this year has been the launch, in April 2010, of the Tilda Goldberg Centre for Social Work and Social Care. The Centre is funded through a £1.1 million grant obtained in national competition. The IASR's ability to obtain such a grant is in itself an important indication of the track record and reputation of IASR staff. The external funding is supported by investment from within the University – which has allowed the creation of a dedicated room with resources appropriate for a leading research centre - as well as through research funded from other sources. The Goldberg Centre is focussed on carrying out high quality research for social work and social care. The programme of funded work relates to social care and drug and alcohol problems. The Centre has a commitment to developing research capacity more generally in the UK through a programme of workshops, conferences and residential events. The Management Group of the Goldberg Centre consists of Cherilyn Dance, Donald Forrester, Sarah Galvani, Andy Guppy and Michael Preston-Shoot. We also work closely with Public Health and have close links with Professor Gurch Randhawa.

Staff employed through the Goldberg Centre grant are:

 Sarah Galvani (Principle Research Fellow – with a remit to develop new research, particularly focussing on the intersection of domestic violence and substance misuse).

 Varinia Heidel (part time researcher looking at European approaches to drug and alcohol problems across social care).

 Aisha Hutchison (full time researcher carrying out a survey of substance use across social care in a variety of local authorities).

 Kerry Lapworth (Centre Administrator – though Kerry will also be studying for a Masters in Public Health at Bedfordshire during her time here).

 Michelle McCann (part time researcher reviewing research evidence on social work and social care and drug and alcohol problems).

 Angela Thurnham (full time researcher developing proposals using existing datasets).

105 Other researchers employed within/attached to the Centre include:

 Sarah Wadd (funded by the Welsh Assembly Government to support the development of evidence based approaches to work with vulnerable families; Sarah is also developing a number of research proposals relating to alcohol use and misuse amongst older people).

 Georgia Glynn (funded initially by the Scottish Government for a review of the evidence on social work and care and substance misuse and more recently by CASA (Islington) to undertake an evaluation of the project).

 Annie Williams (funded by the Alcohol Education Research Council through Bedfordshire and based at University of Cardiff evaluating the Option 2 service for families with serious drug or alcohol problems).

 Cherilyn Dance

 Michael Preston Shoot

 Andy Guppy

In addition, the Centre has appointed its first national Goldberg Fellowship. The recipient is Dr Mary Pat Sullivan, of Brunel Institute of Aging Studies. Dr Sullivan will be working closely with the Centre to develop research relating to older people and alcohol misuse during 2010-11. We have also welcomed our first Goldberg Scholarship students - Mary Hillson and Christine Hemsley - to work with the Centre over the summer. The Centre has been going for just 6 months, but already much has been achieved. Some of the highlights include:

 The ESRC Advisor’s Report on Social Work and Social Care (Sharland, 2009) identified the Tilda Goldberg as a key “Centre of Excellence” for research and an exemplary model for the development of social work research capacity within the United Kingdom. It was mentioned repeatedly as a positive example of ways in which social work research capacity might be developed  SWAP identified learning and teaching resources produced by Sarah Galvani with Donald Forrester as one of its highlights of the last 10 years, and described them as "groundbreaking” http://www.swap.ac.uk/tenyears/  Cherilyn Dance has published a report with Elaine Farmer for the Dept of Education, which has already attracted media attention http://www.education.gov.uk/research/data/uploadfiles/DFE-RBX-10-05.pdf  Five reports have been produced for the Welsh Assembly Government which will be published in support of the reform of service in Wales  A substantial report on social work and substance misuse has been prepared for the Scottish Government  Aisha Hutchison has obtained an ESRC post-doctoral research fellowship. Unfortunately this means she will be leaving us next year – but we are delighted that she has delayed this until the end of her project and that plans are afoot for continuing collaboration in the future

Information about Research Grants publications are listed under individual staff entries in Section 5 of this report below.

Events:

 We ran – in association with the ESRC – a Grant Writing Residential School in June for Social Work academics  On 15th/16th September 2010 we are helping to coordinate a Conference for Social Work academics as part of the ESRC Researcher Development Initiative  We are hosting the website for the ESRC Social Work Researcher Development Initiative (Forrester is co-PI)  23rd September sees a major conference on substance misuse across social care run by the Goldberg Centre and Making Research Count

It has been a busy 6 months – but this is just the beginning.

Forthcoming highlights:

 An exciting development for next year is that William R. Miller – the creator of Motivational Interviewing and perhaps the leading addictions academic in the world – will be our visiting International Fellow. He will be working with us on developing our programme of research.

106  It is a sign of the standing of the Centre that we have been approached to provide advice or consultation for the Welsh Assembly Government, the Scottish Government and the English Government’s “Munro Review” of Social Work in the first 6 months of our work.

 We plan to put in research bids totalling close to £1 million over the next 12 months on a variety of issues relating to evidence based practice and social work/social care. We will be building on our existing expertise in relation to child and family welfare and are particularly focussed on developing work around older people and alcohol problems. This is a strategically important development as to date IASR has been stronger in relation to children’s services than adult social care. We believe this is an important area of study, and that the close links with health will allow us to access new funding streams.

 We will be delivering a programme of workshops, conferences and research placements in the coming year to help social work academics across the country, including a conference on experimental methods (run jointly with the ESRC) and workshops on existing datasets and other topics.

 Staff from the Centre are contributing to the University’s staff training programme and to modules in undergraduate and postgraduate programmes across Applied Social Studies.

4.2 Social Work, Professional Practice and Law Research Centre

The Centre has continued to research outcomes of professional education and of social work practice. It has attracted grants from national governments as well as local authorities and has continued with its commitment to research that has an impact on policy and practice. Specifically:

Michael Preston-Shoot, with researchers at the University of Sussex, has completed a Department of Health funded project on adult safeguarding. This has reviewed the evidence for best practice in the governance of adult safeguarding boards, and in work with adults who self-neglect. The research will help to inform and shape government policy relating to adult safeguarding.

Michael Preston-Shoot, with Suzy Braye at the University of Sussex, is completing a Social Care Institute for Excellence funded project on the use of e-learning in teaching, learning and assessment of social work law. The findings have already been presented at the JSWEC conference in July 2010. The work forms part of an increasing focus in the research centre on outcomes of social work and other forms of professional education.

With Judy McKimm, Michael Preston-Shoot has completed a study, funded by two higher education subject centres for law and for medicine and dentistry, on how law is taught to medical undergraduates. Besides the research report, which has been published by the subject centres, research papers have been accepted for publication by the Journal of Medical Ethics and Medical Education.

Louise Grant, with Professor Gail Kinman, is researching how to promote resilience in social work students and qualified practitioners. This important work, given the challenges and dilemmas that social workers face daily, is achieving prominence and the findings will be published in the British Journal of Social Work and elsewhere.

Patrick Ayre and Michael Preston-Shoot have edited a book on the future direction of children’s services as a direct critique of recent policy developments in England. This book will inform the review of child protection, currently being undertaken by Professor Eileen Munro and has attracted considerable interest from policy- makers, professional journals, regulators and practitioners.

Kathryn Ellis has continued her work on street level bureaucracy, recent reflections on which will be published in Social Policy and Administration. She is also undertaking research on personalisation in adult social care with Amanda Thorpe.

A team of researchers (Cherilyn Dance, Lana Burroughs, Kathryn Nethercott and Michael Preston-Shoot) have completed the first stage of an action research project on organisational change within a children’s services

107 department, funded by C4EO and the local authority. This has focused in particular on initial outcomes of the creation of integrated teams in neighbourhood areas.

The focus on outcomes of service provision has also been highlighted by a team of researchers (Isabella McMurray, Veronica Wigley, Helen Connolly and Michael Preston-Shoot) who have continued to disseminate the findings from a longitudinal study of looked after children. Papers on the project itself and on resilience were published in 2008. More recent findings on identity and on outcomes more generally from the project have been accepted for publication, for instance in Child and Family Social Work.

Helen Connolly will shortly complete her doctoral studies on the experiences of unaccompanied asylum seeker minors and how these measure up against the European Convention on Human Rights and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. She has already begun to disseminate the findings at conferences and in publications, sometimes in association with Professor Ravi Kohli, which give voice to young people’s experiences. The findings have attracted the interest of policy-makers and of voluntary organisations working with young people seeking asylum.

Staff were quoted in articles in Children and Young People Now and Community Care and provided background briefing materials for documentaries on Channel 4 and ITV.

4.4. The International Centre for the Study of Trafficked and Sexually Exploited Children and Young People

109 This new and exciting applied research centre is a leading initiative in the field of research with trafficked and sexually exploited children and young people. The International Centre has six core staff members:, Professor Jenny Pearce, Dr Margaret Melrose, Sue Jago Camille Warrington, Dr Lorena Arocha, Professor David Barrett and Dr Isabelle Brodie.

The Centre has a developing programme of work in partnership with external agencies. For example, the centre:

 is working with Barnardos to run a new Research Forum for practitioners and researchers developing work with sexually exploited children and young people.

 ran a conference with The Youth Justice Board and Barnardos to focus on the relationship between young people’s offending behaviour and their experiences of having been trafficked and/or sexually exploited.

 has published findings from a two year research project developed in partnership with the NSPCC focusing on practitioners’ responses to trafficked young people.

 has completed the first year of a Comic Relief funded project developed in partnership with the National Working Group for Sexually Exploited Children and Young People to address Local Safeguarding Children’s Boards responses to the DCSF (2009) guidance: Safeguarding Children and Young People from Sexual Exploitation. Part of this work includes the production of an increasingly popular newsletter giving updates on progress of national initiatives to prevent sexual exploitation. The ‘What’s Going On’ newsletter, prepared by Sue Jago and published by the University, addresses activities across the UK to prevent the sexual exploitation of young people.

 has collaborated on the publication of ‘Youth and Policy’ Journal ‘Special Edition’ focusing on the trafficking and sexual exploitation of children and young people, (Youth and Policy 2010, number 104) edited by Prof Pearce and Dr Melrose.

 is undertaking work led by Dr Margaret Melrose to explore baby trafficking in the context of international adoption markets. This is an issue that has to date been neglected in the main by those concerned with trafficking debates in the UK and represents an important development in this field. This work promises to raise awareness of this issue.

 is increasing its work at a European level through Pearce’s appointment as a member of the Eurochild Policy Steering Committee and as a Rappouteur with the Council of Europe. Funding has been secured for centre staff to work with The Council of Europe on their campaign to stop sexual violence against children, leading the initiative to involve young people in the activities of the campaign. Centre staff will take a group of young people and their practitioners to present at the campaign launch in Rome in November 2010. Pearce’s work has resulted in three European publications this year: one with Eurochild and two with The Council of Europe. All focus on preventing sexual exploitation and on involving young people in the process of decision making and service development.

 has worked with the Association of Young People’s Health to successfully bid for funding to train and support young people who have been sexually exploited or trafficked to become ‘health advocates’, supporting the development of materials that will advise young people of their health needs and encourage better access to health care services.

 has hosted and worked in partnership with the coordinator for National Working Group for Sexually Exploited Children and Young People. The project coordinator led on work to develop a UK network of practitioners, researchers and policy makers to share learning and best practice on supporting sexually exploited children and young people. Work included: leading a partnership with ECPAT UK and Barnardo's to undertake a national consultation and develop a national advisory group on CSE called, "What works for Us"; ,managing a national photography project with Photovoice, to develop an exhibition and book of images and words produced by 28 young people from 8 specialist sexual exploitation projects across England; running a series of national practitioner's seminars, contributing to government consultations on missing, safeguarding and trafficking and; developing an email and web based resource hub for UK based practitioners see: www.nwg.org.uk

 is undertaking work led by Dr Isabelle Brodie under C4EO's Vulnerable Children theme on Improving Educational Outcomes for Looked After Children and Young People.

110  is submitting bids for research funding to explore issues facing child soldiers, and trafficked Romany children and young people.

 is working to further children and young people’s participation in research and curriculum development.

 is collaborating with the Vauxhall Centre for the Study of Crime to develop research with young people in gang affected neighbourhoods, looking at young people’s resilience and resistance to violence and exploitation.

In addition, Dr Margaret Melrose has focused on research with socially marginalised and impoverished young people and young people’s involvement in informal economic activities. Her over-arching concerns are with young people’s poverty and social exclusion and with the ways in which policy responses to processes of globalisation may negatively impact young people. Currently, Margaret Melrose is working with colleagues from the Vauxhall Centre for the Study of Crime and has recently developed bids to the Nuffield Foundation to explore young women’s experiences of custody and resettlement in the community and to the ESRC to explore young people’s experiences of living in high crime neighbourhoods. She is also working with colleagues from the Tilda Goldberg Centre to develop research with a London based voluntary sector organisation exploring service provision for young women experiencing problems with substance misuse and domestic or sexual violence. She has also been working with colleagues from the Faculty of Media, Art and Design to develop a research bid which aims to critically examine media representations of drug users.

IASREC Annual Report to UREC

126 Institute of Applied Social Research Ethics Committee (IASREC) Annual Report Academic Year 2009-2010 IASREC Membership Dr. M. Melrose (Chair) Dr. T. Bateman (Vice-Chair) Dr. C. Dance Mrs. C. Senouni (Secretary) Prof D. Barrett Mr. P. Barton (Chair Luton Borough Council Research Governance Committee) Dr. I. Bridgeman Prof. D. Forrester Ms. J. Neale Prof J. Pearce Ms. A. Tressider-Spivey (Bedford Campus Polhill) Ms. Nicolette Wade (Bedford Campus Polhill)

Brief Overview of Operation during 2009-2010 Undergraduate applications for ethical approval are managed for ASS at Bedford (Polhill) Campus by an ethics sub- committee. Post-graduate and staff applications from ASS (Polhill) are considered directly by IASREC. The sub- committee at Bedford (Polhill) Campus reports to IASREC and, where a decision cannot be arrived at by the sub- committee, applications are referred to IASREC for approval. The Psychology Department (UoB) has its own ethics committee to process undergraduate, postgraduate and staff applications. It now operates autonomously and no longer reports to IASREC KCC has an autonomous ethics committee and reports directly to UREC. Copies of all relevant paperwork are forwarded to IASREC when RS1s are forwarded for processing. There has been no such paperwork forwarded in the academic year 2009-2010. An Ethics (Teaching) Sub-Committee in ASS (Park Square Campus) considers applications for approval for library based dissertation work. The Ethics (Teaching) Sub-Committee reports to IASREC. The full committee of IASREC has met twice in the academic year 2009-10. As well as members of IASR, the committee is also attended by Mr. Paul Barton who is Chair of Luton Borough Council Research Governance Committee (LBCRGC). When research applications involve clients or staff of Luton Borough Council, or its services, applications are forwarded to LBCRGC for approval after they have been approved by IASREC. Deadlines for undergraduate ethical approval applications were instituted in the academic year 2009-2010. These are considered by a sub-group of the committee. Postgraduate and staff applications are considered as they are received by a sub-group consisting of at least 3 people. All approved applications are signed off by the Chair and Vice-Chair (unless there is a conflict of interest in which case alternative arrangements are made). In April 2010 the previous Vice-Chair of the committee, Dr. Cherilyn Dance, resigned and was replaced by Dr. Tim. Bateman. The Chair would like formally to acknowledge the contribution made by Dr. Cherilyn Dance in her time as Vice- Chair and welcome Dr. Tim Bateman in his new role as Vice-Chair. There have been further revisions to membership as other members have left. These are: Prof J. Pitts (IASR); Ms. I. McMurray (Psychology); Mr. M. Chapman (Beds County Council). The Chair and Vice-Chair will continue to monitor levels of engagement by committee members and shall, in the forthcoming academic year, endeavour to reconstitute the committee to ensure that it reflects the range of teaching areas in the department (across professional and academic programmes). This will maximise efficiency and the range of expertise available. A meeting of the full committee will be convened early in the academic year 2010-2011 to consider these changes. The Chair (Dr. M. Melrose) has undertaken presentations to undergraduate students, professional doctorate students and social work students at Masters Level to raise their awareness of ethical issues in research and to ensure that they are aware of the process for gaining ethical approval for any project they may be developing – whether library based or primary research. In addition, there a number of guidance documents that can be accessed from the ethics section of the IASR website. Teaching at these different levels shall continue in the next academic year. At postgraduate level examples of applications that have been approved at the initial stage, as well as of those that have been returned for amendments, will be used to illustrate what is required. Members of the ethics committee have additionally provided one-to-one advice to staff developing proposals and to supervisors (particularly at Masters Level) where this has been requested. Such support shall continue to be provided when it is requested. Business Undertaken During academic year 2009-10 applications for library based work were received and approved from 44 undergraduate students in ASS (Park Square campus); 3 postgraduate students and 2 staff (all at Park Square campus). The Chair and Vice-Chair believe that the number of undergraduate applications for library based dissertation work does not accurately

127 reflect the number of students actually doing library based dissertations. Staff supervising undergraduate dissertation work will therefore again be reminded that they are required to ensure that their students submit a signed declaration of their intention to undertake the work in an ethical manner. Applications for primary research (at Park Square Campus) were received from: 6 staff; 12 postgraduate students ( of which 9 were PhD or Professional Doctorate students and 3 of which were Masters level social work students) and 12 undergraduate students. All staff and post-graduate (PhD and Professional Doctorate) applications are referred to UREC after approval at IASREC. Of the 12 postgraduate applications received, 9 were returned for amendments. These were subsequently re-submitted and approved. 2 applications were given conditional approval (subject to minor amendments). One application at Masters Level was withdrawn after discussion with the supervisor and subsequent discussions between the supervisor and student. Of 6 staff applications received, 2 were approved and 4 were returned for amendments before resubmission and final approval. Of the 12 undergraduate applications received, 7 were returned for amendments. After re-submission these were finally approved. 4 were given conditional approval (subject to minor amendments) and 1 application was declined. The student in this instance was advised via the supervisor to pursue library-based rather than primary research. In the academic year 2009-2010, 5 applications were referred to LBCRGC from Park Square campus and all, except one undergraduate application, were approved. In addition please see above re: teaching to undergraduate and postgraduate students & one-to-one advice provided to staff developing proposals and supervisors working with post-graduate students (undertaken by Chair of IASREC and delivered at Park Square campus). Business at Polhill Campus 24 students have applied for ethical approval for their undergraduate dissertation work in the academic year 2009-2010. 21 of these were approved at initial application while 3 were returned for amendments and approved on resubmission. 2 students required ethical approval from an external source (prison service and probation service) as well as from the university and this was granted in both cases. Record Keeping All applicants for ethical approval (undergraduate, postgraduate and staff) are required to submit their application to IASREC using the form that can be downloaded from the ethics section of the IASR website. This form is intended to be a ‘stand alone’ form that details all the ethical issues involved in any particular project and which demonstrates that the applicant has given them due consideration. Applicants may submit a summary of their proposal with the ethical approval application form but ethics committee members should not be expected to read the full proposal: rather the proposal should be provided for reference/further clarification if need be. The ethical approval application form must be submitted electronically as well as in hard copy. Applicants are also asked to submit electronically any relevant supporting information such as consent forms and information sheets. The hard copy of the ethical approval application form should contain the signature of the applicant (and the supervisor for undergraduate and postgraduate students). During the last year electronic applications have been submitted to a dedicated email address ([email protected]) but this has proved administratively inefficient and in the academic year 2010-2011 all submissions will be made directly to Cara Senouni (Secretary to the Ethics Committee) at [email protected]. All electronic applications are recorded on a database which details:  applicant name & contact details

 type of applicant (undergraduate, postgraduate (masters/PhD/Prof Doc) or staff)

 source of application (ASS/KCC/Psychology)

 project title

 date of submission

 names of reviewers

 decision taken (approval, conditional approval, returned for amendments or approval denied) & date

 date of resubmission & date

 decision taken after re-submission

128  date applicant advised of final decision

 whether referred to UREC/LBCRGC or other body

The Chair and Vic-Chair, in consultation with the IASREC secretary, will seek to streamline this database in the forthcoming academic year to make it more administratively efficient. All hard copies of applications to IASREC are signed by the Chair/ Vice-Chair and/or other reviewer. They are all filed in locked cabinets. Feedback to applicants is provided formally both via email and by a hard copy letter which details any amendments required (hard copy is also signed by Chair or Vice-Chair). Feedback given to participants is filed electronically with the application. Where applicants are undergraduate or postgraduate students, feedback and decisions reached are sent to the supervisor for discussion with the student. Members of the ethics committee do not normally engage in dialogue directly with students – this is done via the supervisor. Applications for approval for library based research are filed alongside applications for primary research. Issues for Consideration by UREC Administration of IASREC business is currently rather onerous furthermore, there are issues of space, depending on the time applications are expected to be held in hard copy. Where these are undergraduate dissertation projects there may be a case for these to be disposed of annually or bi-annually. Imposing deadlines for undergraduate ethics applications has worked well in terms of managing the workload and the Chair and Vice-Chair will explore the possibility of introducing deadlines for Postgraduate applications in the forthcoming academic year. This will be increasingly necessary, if the workload is to be managed efficiently and effectively, as new Masters Level programmes, developed by IASR, become ‘live’ in the academic year 2010. Some members of the committee have wondered whether consent forms and information sheets need to be seen by the ethics committee or whether these are a matter for students to develop in consultation with their supervisors. Some members have also expressed their concern that an overly-bureaucratised ethical approval process may indeed inhibit good social research and/or that postgraduate students may be overly cautious in the topics they choose to explore. This would be very detrimental to good social science and may potentially have repercussions in terms of attracting post-graduate students to particular areas of work.

Institute of Sport and Physical Activity Research

Annual Review 2009/2010

Background

When the last academic year is being reviewed for ISPAR, it is important to note the significant changes that occurred in that time as regards the restructuring of the Departments whose staff belong to ISPAR. An academic presence in the area of physical activity and related disciplines has existed in Bedford for over 120 years (1882). As part of that tradition and the academic vision required for long-term survival, the Department of Sport and Exercise Sciences (SES) was created in 2009 following the restructuring of the School of Physical Education and Sport Science. At UoB, the staff profile of the Department was historically based on the Physical Education origins of the Bedford campus and has been dominated by the non-STEM arms (psychology, sociology) of the SES discipline. In recent years, there has been a major move into the STEM areas (physiology, biochemistry, genetics) as identified by the report into the discipline from the 2008 RAE. This has been recognized at UoB, with and all of the recent appointees have been in the STEM areas (Iain Fletcher (2008), Paul Castle (2008), Lex Mauger (2009), John Brewer (2009) and Mark Lewis (2009). This, along with the reorganizing of the faculty has meant that, for the first time, the majority of the staff expertise lies within the STEM areas.

At the same time as the above, the Institute for Sport and Physical Activity Research (ISPAR) was revitalized by both the research activity of the appointees listed above and also by the appointment of various staff in the Department of Physical Education and Sport Studies. This meant that ISPAR was led by Professor David Kirk and that the research group structure at the beginning of 2009/2010 was as follows:

 Muscle Cellular and Molecular Physiology (MCMP) – Lead: Professor Mark P Lewis  Applied Sport and Exercise Physiology (ASEP) – Lead: Professor John Brewer  Physical Activity and Health (PAH) – Lead: Dr Catherine Kerr  Social and Cultural Aspects of Physical Activity – Lead: Dr Paul Beedie  Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy – Lead: Professor David Kirk

As the year progressed, various new initiatives developed; Professor Mark Lewis was awarded a £500,000 grant in the STEM area, the number of STEM PhD students increased considerably, Professor David Kirk became the Director of the Institute for Research in Education (IRED), the nature of the way RAE spend could be allocated was under discussion and the wider STEM agenda was under discussion in the University generally. To this end, ISPAR was restructured in the summer of 2010 with the STEM groups (MCMP, ASEP, PAH) remaining part of the Institute and the social sciences groups moving together to a natural home in IRED. Professor Mark P Lewis was appointed the new Director.

In support of the STEM initiatives, major Capital items (to be used in ISPAR research) were bid for in the University process and were successful procured as shown in Table One. The total spend was £135,000.

159 TABLE ONE: Capital items to be used for ISPAR research procured in the 2009/2010 Capital Bids round

The number of personnel involved in research increased considerably. This was due to the success of the Department of Sport and Exercise Sciences and its recruitment policy of only appointing research active staff with a doctorate.

Despite having state of the art laboratories, and the capacity to undertake both research and support services for external clients relating to sport and exercise science, little previous work had been undertaken by the university in these areas. However, in the last twelve months this has changed, following a more proactive approach to gaining commercial work from corporate clients. These include funding from the UK’s largest sports nutrition company, Maximuscle Ltd, who supported two successful research studies into the impact of sports nutrition supplements on metabolism and human performance, and the sports apparel company New Balance, who funded support work for their team of athletes training for the 2010 London Marathon. Other commercial clients include Milton Keynes Dons and Running Fitness magazine. Further on-going discussions are being held with other potential commercial partners to deliver future externally funded enterprise and research activity.

Research Activity

Muscle Cellular and Molecular Physiology

This research group was new to the Institute and University in 2009 after Professor Mark Lewis moved to the University after 15 years being based in biomedical departments. Within a month of his arrival, the great news arrived that Professor Lewis has been awarded a £0.5 million grant that is to develop a model of “laboratory muscle” that can be stimulated (exercised) like a human being. The grant was awarded by the NC3Rs, a Research Council UK group. The group is now applying this expertise and knowledge to questions relevant to the physiology of human exercise. A major component of the NC3Rs grant was to employ a Post-Doctoral Research Assistant and the group was joined in March 2010 by Dr Samantha Passey. After 4 months of planning, the tissue culture facilities opened for business at the beginning of February 2010.

The group was joined in September 2009 by University Bursary PhD students Darren Player (How can 3D-bioengineered skeletal muscle be used in sports performance research?) and Neil Martin (Satellite cell activation and its role in resistance training) and in January 2010 by University Bursary PhD student Paul Davies (Molecular mechanisms underlying deterioration of muscle performance with age). Neil and Darren are being supervised by Professor Mark Lewis and Dr Paul Castle whilst Paul is being supervised by Mark and Dr Nick Sculthorpe. In addition, James Tuttle (Contribution of Heat and Mechanical Stress to Heat Shock Protein gene expression) started his PhD in December 2009; his project is collaboration between this research group and Applied Sport and Exercise Physiology. His supervisors are Dr Paul Castle and Mark Lewis. To complete the picture, Krishan Vishnolia (Development and characterisation of a 3D culture system for fish muscle cells to investigate their adaptability to different environmental stresses) and Hossam Ali (Effect of different types of physical exercise on dopamine synthesis in MPTP-Induced Parkinson’s disease) joined as joint students with own Universities LIRANS (Institute of Research into Applied and Natural Sciences).

They joined 5 existing PhD students based at UCL where Mark Lewis was appointed as Honorary Professor in October 2009. Two of these UCL students successfully defended their PhD theses in 2010. The group has active collaborations with groups based at UCL, Loughborough University, Cardiff University and University of California, Davis and in this academic year, also developed important links with groups from Cranfield and Chichester Universities.

In a busy year of profile raising, the group attended and presented at the annual conferences of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM; Baltimore, USA), the Tissue and Cell Engineering Society (TCES; Manchester, UK), the Physiological Society (Manchester, UK) and the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES) Main (Glasgow, UK) and Student (Aberystwyth, UK) conferences.

Applied Sport and Exercise Physiology

The Applied Sport and Exercise Science group have had an exciting last twelve months, delivering research and support work that has had a positive impact on external clients, and made a major contribution to scientific understanding. The recent refurbishment of the heat chamber has enabled team members to work with the Great Britain Disabled Shooting squad, providing them with support for their 2009 World Championships, whilst obtaining unique data on the physiological adaptations of wheelchair athletes to exercise in the heat, which is currently being analysed for future publication. Corporate funding from Maximuscle Ltd has resulted in data which is now being used by the company to support product

160 claims, with an option for future publication. As well as publishing a number of full papers and abstracts in high impact Journals, the team members have also presented at key academic conferences such as the European College of Sports Sciences 2010 Annual Conference, and the 2010 Annual BASES Conference.

Physical Activity and Health

During 2009-2010 the Physical Activity and Health Research Group were particularly successful in undertaking and developing further research relating to the health of children and adolescents. Firstly, staff and postgraduate students completed a major 2 year intervention study aimed at increasing the physical activity levels of 10-14 year old schoolchildren in Bedfordshire (the Health and Physical Activity Promotion in Youth Study, HAPPY), funded by the Bedford Charity (£84,000 external funding). Some of the early findings from the study were presented at the recent International Congress of Obesity (Stockholm 2010), particularly in relation to the cardiovascular health and potential risk of developing type 2 diabetes, fitness and body composition of the 240 participants. Research was also recently completed to determine the contribution of physical education lessons to moderate and vigorous physical activity levels using objective physical activity monitoring techniques and articles have been submitted to Health Promotion related journals in this field. Both the PE setting research and HAPPY study have included consideration of the psychological determinants of physical activity and such work has recently been presented at the European Health Psychology Conference (Romania 2010), and the Division of Health Psychology Conference (Belfast 2010). Current projects which have attracted external funding (£28,000) include a study to investigate the effectiveness of physical activity and nutritional interventions in overweight post-pubertal adolescents with features of the Metabolic Syndrome. This is in collaboration with the Centre for Obesity Research at Luton and Dunstable Hospital, associated dieticians, and paediatric consultants.

178 Appendix A Institute for Tourism Research (INTOUR) Report for the period August 1 – October 31 2010

Institute Director: Professor Andrew Holden

Introduction

INTOUR is the newest UoB Research Institute, officially reporting from the 1 August 2010. It is thus in an early formative stage with the first informal meeting of INTOUR members having taken place on 23 September 2010 and the first board meeting scheduled for 10th November 2010. Four key thematic foci of coalescence are recognised:

 Environment and sustainable development  Economic impact and regeneration  Heritage and cultural interpretation  Social inclusion and community cohesion

It is intended that research groups will be developed around these themes to give focus to research, consultancy income generation and progress towards the REF. Members of INTOUR were previously part of ISPAR, hence the inclusion of this appendix in the ISPAR annual report.

Staffing

The staffing of INTOUR presently correlates to the Division of Tourism (DoT) with new staff being added as links are made to other parts of the university. As at October 2010, INTOUR has 11 FTE staff: Professors Andrew Holden and Keith Holllinshead; Dr. Sally Everett; Dr. Silvanos Gwiranda; Dr. Nazia Ali; Dr. Sherif Elroubi; Dr. Petia Petrova; Dr Davis Barasa; Dr Susan Slocum; Dr. Carol Tie; Denise Cardwell plus 9 research students. Seven of these staff have been in post for a year or less and subsequently require support to develop their research careers.

DoT went through a period of major change last year as it transferred from the Business School to the Faculty of Sport and Education as was on the 1 August 2009. Several staff, Professor Peter Mason, Professor Tony Seaton, Dr. Dorota Ujma, and Sean Gammon left the Division. Two new staff Dr. Ramesh Durbarry and Dr. Adi Weidenfeld also started and left during the course of the year. In this flux of change of personnel and organisational practice, the remaining staff were subsequently predominantly concerned with teaching, administration and student welfare, with research being marginalised.

179 Research Bids

Although INTOUR has existed since only the 1 August 2010, staff who are now members of the Institute were involved in the following research bids as detailed in Table 1 during the last academic year. As stated in the last paragraph these research bids were submitted in a pressurised environment of personnel and organisational change.

Comment on research bids

The success rate on these bids is very low which is attributable to two principal factors:

1) A lack of stability in personnel and organisational practice which restricted available resources, especially the establishment of partnerships and time for bid writing; and 2) A lack of a strategy of research themes and focus, resulting in an ad hoc approach to bids.

PhD Awards 2009/10

Six research students successfully completed their PhD programmes during the last academic year, details of which are shown in Table 2.

QR related projects

INTOUR is in receipt of QR funding based upon the return from the last RAE submission. The following QR related projects have been identified for development in 2010/2010: (i) Early career research projects; (ii) Research culture development; (iii) International conference presentations leading to journal articles; (iv) Visiting professor programme; (v) Writing fellowships; (vi) United Nations World Tourism Organisation Research (UNWTO) recognition; and (vi) EU bidding development.

181 Aims for 2010/2011

Given the embryonic status of INTOUR, there is a need to secure a more solid foundation during 2010/2011. Key components to achieve this include:

1) Raising the internal/external profile of the Institute through networking; conference presentations; attaining UNWTO affiliation; and development of a research seminar series (a fully functioning website has now been developed); 2) Increasing income levels through consultancy activity; 3) Increasing the success rate of research bids and raising the income level of externally funded research; 4) Increasing the number of international fee-paying research students; 5) Development of a strategy for staff development to the next REF; and 6) Creating a thriving research environment.

Erik Blair will be submitting his thesis later on in 2010.

5. Progress to date on use of research funds To date we have:  organised a series of monthly research seminars from colleagues who can contribute in areas of interest to our colleagues and students. To date seminars have been presented by Dr Mere Berryman, University of Waikato, New Zealand (November), Dr Marie-Pierre Moreau, UoB (December). The seminar planned for January will be given by Dr Gabrielle Ivinson, Cardiff University, for February by Dr Sandra Davies (previously from the Open University) and for March by Prof Harry Torrance  launched the Doctorate in Education with a enrolment of 13 students, 9 of whom are UoB colleagues. Its overarching aim is to facilitate the creation of a new body of applied knowledge or theoretically-justified practice in education and provide evidence of the impact it has had, or could have, on the professional area. The ESRC (April, 2009) recently stated an intention to focus on professional Doctorates as well as PhDs and we will actively seek recognition of our EdD.  advertised small scale bursaries (10 x £1000) to support staff with their doctoral research with a clear agreement about on-going publications in the course of their studies.  developed and agreed criteria for the funding of a small grants scheme to provide seed corn funding for new small scale proposals for researchers with the potential for publications within 12 months, and advertised the scheme to colleagues.  advertised a writing weekend during January/February to colleagues who have the potential for publication of peer- reviewed journal articles. An external colleague who edits a high quality education journal has agreed to facilitate the weekend and support colleagues’ drafts to publication on a consultancy contract  planned in outline a session for research bid-training

6. Other activities IRED has been approached by the Bedford Charity to work with the that Charity in facilitating in-school research in Bedford schools. We hope to hold a joint meeting to discuss the possibilities at the end of January.

Report from Institute for Research in Education (IRED), May, 2010

The activities of members of the Institute for Research in Education are reported below as follows: new appointments, publications, newly-funded research projects, completion of doctoral studies, progress to date on the use of QR funds (£25k), other activities.

New appointments Dr Uvanney Maylor has been appointed as Reader in Education in the Education Studies department. She is an elected member of the Executive Council of the British Education Research Association (BERA). She was a former recipient of the Teaching and Learning Research Programme Meeting of Minds Fellowship (ESRC). She was formerly director of Multiverse (which provides information and resources on diversity issues for trainee teachers and teacher educators and is supported by the Training and Development Agency for Schools, UK). Uvanney specialises in research that focuses on issues of ethnicity, racism and culture as they impact on educational practice and student and staff experience. She has directed a number of research projects including for example: The impact of supplementary schools on pupils’ attainment: An investigation into what factors contribute to educational improvements (funded by the Department for Children, Schools and Families - DCSF); Evaluation of the Black Children’s (Primary) Achievement Programme (funded by the DCSF); The Diversity and Citizenship research review (funded by the Department for Education and Skills, DfES – the study supported the DCSF diversity and citizenship curriculum review undertaken by Sir Keith Ajegbo). Uvanney was part of a team commissioned in 2009 by the Equality Challenge Unit to undertake a literature review of the experiences of Black and Minority Ethnic staff working in higher education. She has also undertaken research in relation to for example, equality experiences of Black staff in further education (funded by the Commission for Black Staff in Further Education), factors affecting the recruitment and retention of Black teachers in London schools (funded by the Greater London Authority), supply teacher experiences of induction and continuing professional development (DfES funded), supplementary school teacher aspirations to teach community languages (CiLT funded), evaluation of the Teach First graduate teacher employment scheme, teacher experiences in relation to remodelling (DSCF funded), student experiences in higher education, the impact of education action zones and factors affecting middle ability pupil attainment in secondary schools. Outside of education, Uvanney has conducted research concerning nurse recruitment and retention, cancer health awareness and young people’s experiences of crime and policing – she was formerly a member of the Lambeth Police- Consultative Group working party which investigated deaths in police custody in London.

Further progress on use of research funds Since January, 2010: the series of monthly research seminars continued in January with seminars by Dr Gabrielle Ivinson, Cardiff University, in February by Dr Sandra Davies (previously from the Open University), in early March by Prof Harry Torrance, and in late March by Prof Meg McGuire, London University. We are approaching Dr Rose Drury (Open University) and Dr Uvanney Maylor, for further seminars this academic year. advertised small scale bursaries (10 x £1000) to support staff with their doctoral research with a clear agreement about on-going publications in the course of their studies. developed and agreed criteria for the funding of a small grants scheme to provide seed corn funding for new small scale proposals for researchers with the potential for publications within 12 months, and advertised the scheme to colleagues. a writing weekend was held in February for colleagues who have the potential for publication of peer-reviewed journal articles. An external colleague co-facilitated the weekend and has been contracted to support colleagues’ drafts to publication on a consultancy contract the session on research bid-training was postponed because interested staff were committed to teaching duties.

Other activities Dr Marie-Pierre Moreau, on behalf of the comparative and international education Special Interest Group of the British Educational Research Association (BERA), has organised a seminar: New Paradigms and Challenges in Comparative and International Education for May 12th. Speakers will be Professor Karen Evans, Institute of Education (‘Comparative and International Education: past, present and new directions for the future?’) and Professor Alistair Ross, London Metropolitan University (‘Partnerships: Pitfalls and Pleasures’).

188 IRED has agreed to work with the Bedford Charity to facilitate in-school research in Bedford schools. We will be holding a meeting shortly to finalise the contractual arrangements.
