  • Making a Hasty Brexit? Ministerial Turnover and Its Implications
    Making a Hasty Brexit? Ministerial Turnover and Its Implications Jessica R. Adolino, Ph. D. Professor of Political Science James Madison University Draft prepared for presentation at the European Studies Association Annual Meeting May 9-12, 2019, Denver, Colorado Please do not cite or distribute without author’s permission. By almost any measure, since the immediate aftermath of the June 16, 2016 Brexit referendum, the British government has been in a state of chaos. The turmoil began with then- Prime Minister David Cameron’s resignation on June 17 and succession by Theresa May within days of the vote. Subsequently, May’s decision to call a snap election in 2017 and the resulting loss of the Conservatives’ parliamentary majority cast doubt on her leadership and further stirred up dissension in her party’s ranks. Perhaps more telling, and the subject of this paper, is the unprecedented number of ministers1—from both senior and junior ranks—that quit the May government over Brexit-related policy disagreements2. Between June 12, 2017 and April 3, 2019, the government witnessed 45 resignations, with high-profile secretaries of state and departmental ministers stepping down to return to the backbenches. Of these, 34 members of her government, including 9 serving in the Cabinet, departed over issues with some aspect of Brexit, ranging from dissatisfaction with the Prime Minister’s Withdrawal Agreement, to disagreements about the proper role of Parliament, to questions about the legitimacy of the entire Brexit process. All told, Theresa May lost more ministers, and at a more rapid pace, than any other prime minister in modern times.

  • Negotiating Musicianship Live Weider Ellefsen
    Ellefsen Weider Live Live Weider Ellefsen In this ethnographic case-study of a Norwegian upper secondary music musicianship Negotiating programme – “Musikklinja” – Live Weider Ellefsen addresses questions of Negotiating musicianship subjectivity, musical learning and discursive power in music educational practices. Applying a conceptual framework based on Foucault’s discourse The constitution of student subjectivities theory and Butler’s theory of (gender) performativity, she examines how the young people of Musikklinja achieve legitimate positions of music student- in and through discursive practices of hood in and through Musikklinja practices of musicianship, across a range of sites and activities. In the analyses, Ellefsen shows how musical learn- musicianship in “Musikklinja” ers are constituted as they learn, subjecting themselves to and perform- ing themselves along relations of power and knowledge that also work as means of self-understanding and discursive mastery. The study’s findings suggest that dedication, entrepreneurship, compe- tence, specialization and connoisseurship are prominent discourses at play in Musikklinja. It is by these discourses that the students are socially and institutionally identified and addressed as music students, and it is by understanding themselves in relation to these discourses that they come to be music student subjects. The findings also propose that a main charac- teristic in the constitution of music student subjectivity in Musikklinja is the appropriation of discourse, even where resistance can be noted. However, within the overall strategy of accepting and appropriating discourses of mu- sicianship, students subtly negotiate – adapt, shift, subvert – the available discourses in ways that enable and empower their discursive legitimacy. Musikklinja constitutes an important educational stepping stone to higher music education and to professional musicianship in Norway.

  • Anneliese Dodds MEP the South East’S Voice in Europe News from Your Labour MEP - May 2017
    Anneliese Dodds MEP The South East’s Voice in Europe News from your Labour MEP - May 2017 After 9 months of discussion, debate and argument, Article 50 was triggered by Theresa May on March 29th. I know this marks the start of a negotiation period that will lead to more uncertainty and worry for some people in the South East. I, for one, was not expecting a senior Conservative politician to start threatening a potential war with Spain over Gibraltar within days of Article 50 being triggered! Thank you for all your messages and correspondence on Brexit. I am working to try and support all constituents who have raised Brexit-related issues with me and my team. Please check out the ‘Negotiation news’ and ‘Anneliese’s news’ sections of my website for the latest on Brexit and what it means for the South East. Event with German MEP to discuss Britain’s role in a post-Brexit EU I recently held a discussion with Jakob von Weizsacker MEP, a German colleague, to discuss Britain’s role in Europe. Issues discussed included Brexit, security and terrorism, Franco-German relations and the rights of EU nationals. The event was very well attended and it was a pleasure to welcome Jakob and his partner to the South East. I have also been pleased to welcome my colleague Ana Gomes MEP to our region, from Portugal. Before, during, and after Brexit, it is hugely important that we keep up the dialogue with our European friends and colleagues, as we look to foster new relationships and ways to work with each other.
