Introduction

Dear Postgraduate Researchers,

Welcome to our new Almanac – covering Semester 2 for the academic year 2020/21. As I write this introduction, we remain in lockdown and so, as you will see, we continue to deliver our full programme online. While I know that we all miss each other’s company, it has been good to see new faces – and often of our researchers based abroad – who have been able to join many of these events online. Likewise, the University has taken this opportunity to invite guests from all over the world to deliver talk3 to us at Wolverhampton: this year we have a truly international programme, connecting us up with Yale University, the University of Belgrade, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, to name only three. In these unusual times, creating these kinds of online spaces around research matters, and connecting with each other, has been very beneficial to us all.

You’ll find in our Almanac the usual rich range of training sessions, skills sessions, guest speakers, Doctoral College hang-outs, faculty events and social events – covering all aspects of the postgraduate experience, from the early days and beginning your research, to creating an online presence and preparing for life beyond your studies.

Do join us for as much as you can. And do keep an eye on our Twitter account for updates and news. I look forward to seeing you!

Dr Benjamin Halligan Director of the Doctoral College

The film is available to watch for free at https://player.bfi.org.uk/free/film/watch-the-important-thing-is-love-1971-online.

The discussion will be focused on what we have learnt about LGBT+ women's experiences of 1970s Britain, what issues there were with how they were depicted by the media back then and what are the enduring issues that we face with regards to LGBT+ women's representation.

Please note that this event is a safe space for discussion and therefore will not be recorded for future distribution.

The second discussion group of the month will be about the experience of gay and bisexual men living through the first wave of the AIDS pandemic in the 1908s, as depicted in "It's A Sin". An instant classic, the Russell T Davies drama is inspired by the real life experiences of himself, his friends and other people who lived through a decade from the growing realisation that gay, and bisexual, men were suddenly vulnerable to a deadly new disease. The entire series can be watched at https://www.channel4.com/programmes/its-a-sin and is airing weekly on Channel 4.

Why Use Q Methodology FEHW Thursday 25th February 2021, 16:00-17:00, Online via MS Teams. Education The Education Observatory's Q-methodology Special Interest Group.

Q-methodology is a way of thinking about research that focuses on providing subjectivity to participants. The methodology investigates the complexity in different participant's positions on a given subject where differences of opinion are expected. Q-methodology involves participants sorting a set of statements onto a distribution grid, shaped as a reversed pyramid. Factor analysis is used to group participants based on commonalities in their perspectives. The Education Observatory used Q-methodology in the evaluation of the Headstart programme. More information on its use in this project can be found on this link: http://educationobservatory.co.uk/an-evaluation-of-headstart-wolverhampton/

If you would like to be part of the Q-methodology Special Interest Group please contact Dr Zeta Williams-Brown on [email protected]

Seminar Series Dr Alessandro Cusimano, Dr Eun Sun Godwin and Dr Metka Potočnik. Book via: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/international-investment-agreements-tickets- 141838782617 There are thousands of international investment agreements (IIAs) currently in force, across the world today. IIAs are international agreements between host and home countries, securing promotion and protection of foreign investors abroad. Despite a long belief in the positive impact of FDI on host countries, coupled with an assumption of a beneficial role of IIAs in attracting FDI, empirical studies are lacking in providing confirmed or definitive results. This study aims at evaluating the impact of IIAs, measured as discrete multi-valued treatment, on FDI inflows.

Discourse & Culture Book via: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/symposium-ecotopias-tickets-141866754281 Ecotopia is the title of the novel published by Ernest Callenbach in 1975. The novel was written at a time when there was a growing anxiety of the damaging effects of human activity on the environment.

In these three papers we discuss very different styles of ecotopian speculation, but which all indicate hope for more harmonious ways of living with nature.

Network News and the Crisis of “Objectivity”: Lessons from Chicago 1968 FABSS Wednesday 12th May 2021, 16:00-1700, Online. Film Studies Prof Heather Jean Hendershot, Professor of Film and Media, Massachusetts Institution of Technology. Book via: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/network-news-and-the-crisis-of-objectivity-lessons-from- chicago-1968-tickets-139922773783 In the age of Fox News, MSNBC, CNN, and Newsmax, it can be hard to grasp the idea of “neutral news.” Before the rise of cable news, though, the network news was widely considered to be “unbiased.” This perception was challenged by various American right-wing, anti-civil rights groups in the 1950s and into the 60s, but the challenge was regional and, to a large extent, on the fringe. It was not until 1968 that the challenge became fully nationalized and mainstreamed in the U.S. This change was powered initially by Mayor Richard J. Daley, and later by President Nixon and his Vice President, Spiro T. Agnew.

The tipping point was the networks’ controversial coverage of the Chicago Democratic National Convention of 1968. Hendershot’s presentation examines how the networks covered that complicated four day event (remembered largely today for the brutality of Chicago police against protestors chanting “the whole world is watching!”), how a range of political players criticized that coverage and even produced counter-media, and how we can understand both the short- and long-term fallout of this mediated crisis.

Heather Hendershot is Professor of Film and Media at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). She is the author of several books on American television and conservative media, most recently Open to Debate: How William F. Buckley Put Liberal America on the Firing Line. Her book on network television coverage of the Chicago Democratic National Convention of 1968 is forthcoming from the University of Chicago Press.

‘This is a tale of friendship, and a story of togetherness’: The British Monarchy, Grenfell Tower, FABSS and Inequalities in The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, London Film Studies Wednesday 2nd June 2021, 16:00-1700, Online. Speaker: Dr Laura Clancy, Lecturer in Media, Lancaster University. Book via: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-british-monarchy-grenfell-tower-and-inequalities-in- london-tickets-140997173341 The fire at Grenfell Tower, a block of public housing flats in The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, London, in June 2017 has come to epitomise the growing divide between Britain’s rich and poor in the last decade. Yet, the proximity of Kensington Palace, home of many senior British royals, has been almost entirely ignored in scholarship and commentary on the Grenfell Tower atrocity. This is especially remarkable given the philanthropic ‘work’ the monarchy has engaged in in the fire’s aftermath.

This paper explores Together: Our Community Cookbook, a cookbook released by the British monarchy as part of Meghan Markle’s royal charitable ‘duties’, to raise money for The Hubb Community Kitchen - a group of women displaced in the fire, who prepared meals for their families and other survivors in the aftermath. The cookbook repeatedly emphasises unity, collectivity and togetherness: the importance of a local community response in The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea to rehabilitate Grenfell survivors. This paper argues that in releasing the cookbook, the British monarchy itself is incorporated into this narrative of community and recovery, which fundamentally erases the inequalities in power and privilege between the monarchy and Grenfell survivors (and, indeed, those in similar socioeconomic positions).

Dr Laura Clancy is a Lecturer in Media at Lancaster University. Her forthcoming monograph, Running the Family Firm: how the royal family manages its image and our money, explores the cultural politics of the British monarchy and its role in (re)producing consent for global inequalities and class power.

Social Media and the Musical FABSS Wednesday 9th June 2021, 14:00 – 15:00, Online. Public Bethany Doherty, Lecturer in Musical Theatre. Lecture Book via: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/social-media-and-the-musical-tickets-117404529107 A free public lecture delivered by University of Wolverhampton Lecturer Bethany Doherty

Audiences now, are finding new methods of engaging with the musical and fandoms are beginning to establish a visible online presence and in turn, a shift in paratexts are created. Using social media to cultivate relationships, communities and fandoms, this particular generation are responding to the musical in new and innovative ways. Fan created paratexts are becoming a more popular as fans become more intent on establishing connections to the production. Younger audiences, and their tendency to engage with these interactions has allowed them to become the most active audiences on social media, whom are both critically engaged and creative. The access to online, interactive platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat and YouTube bring new opportunities for paratextual creations.

Examples of this ‘next stage of engagement’ can be seen through the production Dear Evan Hansen (2015), which is now pushing the limits of social media and successfully utilising Dolan’s utopian performatives to draw in audiences and engage its fandom, or as they have self-coined themselves, the ‘Dear Evan Fansens’. The fandom are using these paratexts in establishing one-to-one connections with its fans, allowing the fan created material to ‘speak back’ to the performance moment itself and it is this which validates a transactional relationship between fan and production. This work ultimately sets out the fandom’s desire to ‘be found’.

Submission of the final E-Thesis Keeping it legal - Copyright & Personal/Sensitive Data

Following successful examination, research students are required to submit an electronic copy of the thesis, the e-thesis, for deposit in WIRE (Wolverhampton Intellectual Repository and E-Theses). Once the e-thesis is deposited in WIRE it is published online to be accessed by scholars and others anywhere in the world.

Third party copyright material used in the thesis (e.g. material created by someone else such as photographs, maps, extracts from another work etc.) must be either cleared with the copyright holder or removed from the thesis before deposit.

Personal or sensitive data that relates to identifiable individuals must also be removed from the thesis before deposit.

From 25 January 2021, there are changes to the process for submitting the E- Thesis. Where the thesis contains third party material that you do not have permission to reproduce, you will need to supply two copies of your thesis to the STAR office:  Copy 1 - the full version of your thesis as examined, and  Copy 2 - with third party material and any sensitive information redacted.

To submit, you will need to use the revised E-Thesis Deposit Agreement available at https://www.wlv.ac.uk/current-students/student-support/star-office/research- forms/. The form outlines what you need to do in detail.

Further information on this process and how to redact information in your thesis for deposit in WIRE is available in the updated Research student handbook and on the library webpages. If you have any queries on the redaction process, you can also contact the Scholarly Communications Team by email [email protected]

The Library is also running skills workshops on how to prepare your thesis for deposit on 15 February and 2 June 2021 through the Doctoral College Training Programme.

About the Researcher Development Framework (RDF)

The Researcher Development Statement (RDS) sets out the knowledge, behaviours and attributes of effective and highly skilled researchers appropriate for a wide range of careers. The RDS is for policy makers and research organisations which provide personal, professional and career development for researchers in higher education. The Researcher Development Statement is derived from the Researcher Development Framework (RDF), a major new approach to researcher development, which aims to enhance our capacity to build the UK workforce, develop world-class researchers and build our research base.

The University of Wolverhampton subscribes to the Vitae Research Development Framework. The RDF is structured in four domains encompassing the knowledge, intellectual abilities, techniques and professional standards to do research, as well as the personal qualities, knowledge and skills to work with others and ensure the wider impact of research. Within each of the domains are three sub-domains and associated descriptors, which describe different aspects of being a researcher.

For more information on the Researcher Development Framework and associated Statement go to www.vitae.ac.uk/rdf
