Of the three UK universities to begin teaching the subject at BA level in academic year 1989-1990, two (Bournemouth and Leeds Metropolitan) remain well- established providers of public relations education. These two decades, coinciding with a period of expansion of higher education (Tight 2009), have also been a time of growth for the discipline. Public relations has typically been taught in post-1992 ‘new’ universities – and its perceived low academic status has been countered by the success graduates have achieved in the workplace, and the need of employers for a pool of talented young people during a period of rapid expansion in the sector (Miller and Dinan 2000). Drawing on information from archives and on interviews, the authors will present a case study history of a well-established UK provider of public relations education. The paper will explore the establishing of the course, its emergence to prominence within the faculty and the university, the continuing definitional and domain issues alongside other subject disciplines, the relationship with professional bodies, the struggle for professional and academic respectability, and the development of a range of provision from undergraduate, to postgraduate and professional qualifications. After this period of rapid expansion, higher education faces a challenging future with many institutions chasing declining numbers of demanding, fee-paying students – and with all seeking to attract greater numbers of international students. Not only is there competition from similar-ranked institutions, but the same pressure to justify a ‘return on investment’ is encouraging older universities to diversify into business and vocational education. Oxford University, though not offering a public relations degree course, has for example, appointed a visiting professor of Corporate Reputation at its Centre for Corporate Reputation, established in January 2008. The authors proceed from their institutional case history to ask some questions about the possible development of public relations in higher education in Britain and to present some future scenarios for discussion.

Abstract Purpose – This paper takes a closer look at the field of Litigation PR, focusing on the circumstances of the rise and the main attributes of this new branch of public relations in London, in the English common law jurisdiction. The purpose of this paper is concerned with describing what this branch of PR is about and why the new institution of Litigation public relations evolved in England. Design/methodology/approach – Personal correspondence, legal regulations and transcripts of oral interviews were reviewed in order to achieve the main purpose of this paper. Findings - This specialised PR practice has been growing in the U.S. since the 1980s. This paper argues that the development and the main attributes of Litigation PR in England were different to that of the US as it reflected very different legal, political, economic and historical traditions of the English common law jurisdiction. Originality/value – The paper reflects on the academic writings of different scholars who argue that public relations history need more detailed academic works to add value to the discipline. The original research enriches our understanding about a new field of knowledge has been considered one of the most highly specialized and lucrative areas of PR in England and was not formally defined and documented until now. Keywords: public relations history, legal and litigation public relations, crisis, issue and corporate communications, Thatcherism, legal reforms Introduction This paper is based on an extended empirical research that examines the field of Litigation PR, focusing on the circumstances of the rise and the main attributes of this new branch of public relations in London, in the English common law jurisdiction. This paper discusses the evolution of this new and, arguably, under-researched branch of public relations and reflects on the academic writings of different scholars who argue that public relations history need more detailed academic works to add value to the discipline (L‘Etang, 2008; Pearson, 1990; Lamme, 2008; Hoy et al., 2007; Olasky, 1987; Miller and Dinan, 2000). The evolution of Litigation Public Relations is an interesting example for the occupation, “establishing itself as a distinct and commercially viable service” (L‘Etang 2006, p. 278) 2 The growth and complexity of lawsuits and the more litigious cultural and media environment opened up

  • The Ulster Women's Unionist Council and Ulster Unionism
    “No Idle Sightseers”: The Ulster Women’s Unionist Council and Ulster Unionism (1911-1920s) Pamela Blythe McKane A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN POLITICAL SCIENCE YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO JANUARY 2015 ©Pamela Blythe McKane 2015 Abstract Title: “No Idle Sightseers”: The Ulster Women’s Unionist Council and Ulster Unionism (1911-1920s) This doctoral dissertation examines the Ulster Women’s Unionist Council (UWUC), an overlooked, but historically significant Ulster unionist institution, during the 1910s and 1920s—a time of great conflict. Ulster unionists opposed Home Rule for Ireland. World War 1 erupted in 1914 and was followed by the Anglo-Irish War (1919- 1922), the partition of Ireland in 1922, and the Civil War (1922-1923). Within a year of its establishment the UWUC was the largest women’s political organization in Ireland with an estimated membership of between 115,000 and 200,000. Yet neither the male- dominated Ulster unionist institutions of the time, nor the literature related to Ulster unionism and twentieth-century Irish politics and history have paid much attention to its existence and work. This dissertation seeks to redress this. The framework of analysis employed is original in terms of the concepts it combines with a gender focus. It draws on Rogers Brubaker’s (1996) concepts of “nation” as practical category, institutionalized form (“nationhood”), and contingent event (“nationness”), combining these concepts with William Walters’ (2004) concept of “domopolitics” and with a feminist understanding of the centrality of gender to nation.

His publications include a book on religion in America and Canada, The Conscience of the State in North America, The Early Development of Irish Society, Anti-Catholicism in 'Victorian England and The Catholic Church and Ireland. Edward Norman also contributes articles on religious topics to the Spectator. Preface to the Pelican Edition This book is intended as an introduction to the political history of Ireland in modern times. It was commissioned - and most of it was actually written - before the present disturbances fell upon the country. It was unfortunate that its publication in 1971 coincided with a moment of extreme controversy, be¬ cause it was intended to provide a cool look at the unhappy divisions of Ireland. Instead of assuming the structure of interpretation imposed by writers soaked in Irish national feeling, or dependent upon them, the book tried to consider Ireland’s political development as a part of the general evolu¬ tion of British politics in the last two hundred years.

The rise of Sinn Fein, the impact of the First World War and the Easter Rising, followed by the formation of the Irish Free State in 1921 and Eire in 1937 all occurred within these forty or so years. This thesis explores the nature and extent of the impact that Irish nationalism had on Scotland in this period. This thesis divides these years into four segments: from 1898 when Irish nationalists began to renew their activities in Scotland in earnest, to the Easter Rising in 1916 (i); from the suppression of the Easter Rising until the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922 (ii); from 1922 until the 1931 census when anti-Irish prejudice was widespread again in Scotland, coming in particular from the Church of Scotland and associated institutions (iii); from the Depression to the coming of the Second World War in 1939, when these institutions altered their campaigns to become anti-Catholic in general and the IRA once again looked to Scotland for assistance.
