  • Royal Silver Jubilee Celebrations – 1935
    Royal Silver Jubilee Celebrations – 1935 In 2012 the Queen will celebrate her Diamond Jubilee. This will be the third jubilee that the present monarch has celebrated (the Silver Jubilee was in 1977, and the Golden Jubilee in 2002). The previous monarch to celebrate a jubilee was George V, who came to the throne in 1910 and had a Silver Jubilee in 1935. This article describes the 1935 jubilee celebrations in Farnhill and Kildwick and includes the recollections of a former Farnhill resident, who was a 7-year old boy at the time. Restoration of the Pinnacle The monument above the village, known as the Pinnacle, was built as part of Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee celebrations in 1887. Apparently, by 1935, it needed some TLC and the restoration was carried out as part of the George V Silver Jubilee commemorations. Details of the original construction were carved into one of the rocks immediately below the Pinnacle site, and the 1935 activities were similarly recorded, on an adjacent stone. Figure 1: The rock-carved record of the 1935 restoration Village celebrations – May 6th 1935 May 6th 1935 was a public holiday and various activities took place in Farnhill and Kildwick. A Sports Day was held in the field just over Barrett’s Bridge, next to the tennis courts that were the home of the Farnhill Tennis Club. The school-children were each presented with a commemorative mug or beaker. Figure 2: The mug and beaker presented to the children of Kildwick School. At some point during the day, Cononley Brass Band arrived and played in the village.

This AESOP Yearbook is only partially a reflection of last year’s developments. It is above all the result of an explosion of activities within AESOP, which makes this Yearbook more a catalog of new initiatives and which forced us to delay its date of publication substantially.

  • Western Europe
    Western Europe Great Britain* JLHE PERIOD under review (July 1, 1962, to December 31, 1963) was an eventful one in British political and economic life. Economic recession and an exceptionally severe winter raised the number of unemployed in Jan- uary 1963 to over 800,000, the highest figure since 1939. In the same month negotiations for British entry into the European Common Market broke down, principally because of the hostile attitude of President Charles de Gaulle of France. Official opinion had stressed the economic advantages of union, but enthusiasm for the idea had never been widespread, and there was little disappointment. In fact, industrial activity rallied sharply as the year progressed. In March 1963 Britain agreed to the dissolution of the Federation of Rho- desia and Nyasaland, which had become inevitable as a result of the transfer of power in Nyasaland and Northern Rhodesia to predominantly African governments and the victory of white supremacists in the elections in South- ern Rhodesia, where the European minority still retained power. Local elections in May showed a big swing to Labor, as did a series of par- liamentary by-elections. A political scandal broke out in June, when Secretary for War John Pro- fumo resigned after confessing that he had lied to the House of Commons concerning his relations with a prostitute, Christine Keeler. A mass of infor- mation soon emerged about the London demimonde, centering on Stephen Ward, an osteopath, society portrait painter, and procurer. His sensational trial and suicide in August 1963 were reported in detail in the British press. A report issued in September by Lord Denning (one of the Law Lords) on the security aspects of the scandal disposed of some of the wilder rumors of immorality in high places but showed clearly the failure of the government to deal with the problem of a concurrent liaison between the war minister's mistress and a Soviet naval attache.

  • The 25Th Anniversary Silver Jubilee and Conference 25 Years of Social Construction Practices Around the World November 8-10, 2018 Cancun, Mexico
    Welcomes You… Our Associates, Colleagues, Students and Friends to The 25th Anniversary Silver Jubilee and Conference 25 Years of Social Construction Practices Around the World November 8-10, 2018 Cancun, Mexico In collaboration with Kanankil Institute, a postgraduate institution, offering M.A. programs in socioconstructionist, relational, and collaborative practices. 1 2 A Brief History of the Taos Institute Committed to the belief that social constructionist ideas have powerful and positive implications for human life and well-being, a group of scholars and practitioners came together to found the Taos Institute in the early 1990s. Founders Harlene Anderson, David Cooperrider, Mary Gergen, Kenneth Gergen, Sheila McNamee, Suresh Srivastva and Diana Whitney met through various relational connections and shared such enthusiasm for the ideas of social construction that they wanted to create a space to explore these ideas and how they could be lived out in practice. Their first few gatherings took place in Taos, New Mexico, a locale of rich symbolic significance (and close to the home of Diana Whitney). Thus, the Taos Institute was born and named. With special attention initially directed to organizational development and family therapy, the Institute held international conferences in Taos, and provided consultation grounded in social constructionist theory to individuals and organizations. Since this early period the Taos Institute has acquired status as a non- profit, educationally-oriented organization. Institute activities have expanded dramatically. An appreciation of these multiple initiatives can be acquired by exploring the Institute website. (www.taosinstitute.net) The Taos Institute is a “space” of learning and exploring, not a “place.” There is no physical structure or office located in Taos, New Mexico.
