Parenting Week Playlist Since 1999 Parenting NI has led on and organised National Parenting Week in Northern Ireland in partnership with other local and regional groups that support parents and children. Over the years thousands of families and family organisations have been involved. It has helped highlight the importance of the role of parents and draws attention to their needs and concerns. Many of our children and young people are disadvantaged by many factors, which adversely impact on their outcomes, supporting parents in their role is essential in improving the outcomes of our children. Promoting the parent child relationship is an important way to improve outcomes. The benefits of supporting the parent child relationship are: Health There is currently major concern about the physical health of children. Much of this concern focuses around low levels of physical exercise. Children’s play, especially outdoor, offers many opportunities for physical activity. So encouraging and supporting a positive parent child relationship can help support children’s physical health. Enjoying, learning and achieving One method to build a parent child relationship can be through play. It is widely accepted that in early childhood most of children’s learning is acquired through play. When playing, children define their own goals and interests, decide what is success and failure and pursue these goals in their own way. Contributing positively to community and society Embracing and supporting the parent child relationship allows children to grow to make an important contribution to community life. It is a crucial medium for social interaction and for forming, maintaining and negotiating relationships. Children learn from the way others and the environment react, the effects of their actions and value others place on them. Children contribute to the community and to society when they are visible, when the environment within which they live maximises all opportunities. Children's most important early relationships are with their parents. Positive parent-child relationships are important for all areas of children’s development. Spending quality time and showing warmth, care and respect, can strengthen your relationship with your child. Relationships shape how children see the world because relationships allow children to express themselves. For example, when they cry, or laugh or ask a question they will get a response, those responses give them important information and tells them a lot about how to think, understand, communicate, behave, show emotions and develop social skills. Parents’ Week is an opportunity to celebrate the valuable work that organisations do with parents and families in their community. Parenting NI launched Parenting Week with a seminar for professionals led by Dr Karen Treisman in Girdwood Community Hub, Belfast and corporate event hosted by Josh Levs followed by a weeklong series of activities. We are delighted with the success of Parenting Week 2018 which offered a wide programme of events and activities for parents, families and professionals throughout Northern Ireland. Parenting NI wishes to thank all those who participated and especially the Northern Childcare Partnership who supported the activities in the Northern Trust areas.

    A PARTICIPATORY PROPAGANDA MODEL 1 Participatory Propaganda: The Engagement of Audiences in the Spread of Persuasive Communications Alicia Wanless Michael Berk Director of Strategic Communications, Visiting Research Fellow, SecDev Foundation Centre for Cyber Security and International [email protected] Relations Studies, University of Florence [email protected] Paper presented at the "Social Media & Social Order, Culture Conflict 2.0" conference organized by Cultural Conflict 2.0 and sponsored by the Research Council of Norway on 1 December 2017, Oslo. To be published as part of the conference proceedings in 2018. A PARTICIPATORY PROPAGANDA MODEL 2 Abstract Existing research on aspects of propaganda in a digital age tend to focus on isolated techniques or phenomena, such as fake news, trolls, memes, or botnets. Providing invaluable insight on the evolving human-technology interaction in creating new formats of persuasive messaging, these studies lend to an enriched understanding of modern propaganda methods. At the same time, the true effects and magnitude of successful influencing of large audiences in the digital age can only be understood if target audiences are perceived not only as ‘objects’ of influence, but as ‘subjects’ of persuasive communications as well. Drawing from vast available research, as well as original social network and content analyses conducted during the 2016 U.S. presidential elections, this paper presents a new, qualitatively enhanced, model of modern propaganda – “participatory propaganda” - and discusses its effects on modern democratic societies. Keywords: propaganda, Facebook, social network analysis, content analysis, politics A PARTICIPATORY PROPAGANDA MODEL 3 Participatory Propaganda: The Engagement of Audiences in the Spread of Persuasive Communications Rapidly evolving information communications technologies (ICTs) have drastically altered the ways individuals engage in the public information domain, including news ways of becoming subjected to external influencing.

A critical perspective examines the history and political interests of anthropology and folklore and asks whether an egalitarian, emancipatory, inclusive, and feminist anthropology/folklore is possible. Topics include pollution beliefs, life-cycle events and rituals (e.g. initiations and childbirth), motherhood and fatherhood, religion, music, costume, narrative and visual arts, sexuality in its broadest framework, and gender and human rights. Case studies are drawn from many different cultures. We will have many guest speakers during the term.

    social sciences $€ £ ¥ Article Black Twitter: A Response to Bias in Mainstream Media Latoya A. Lee Department of Sociology, State University of New York at Oswego, 313 Mahar Hall, 7060 Route 104, Oswego, NY 13126, USA; [email protected] Academic Editors: Jenny L. Davis and David A. Banks Received: 1 October 2016; Accepted: 2 March 2017; Published: 5 March 2017 Abstract: This paper seeks to shed light on the ways people of color, in the United States, are using social media to challenge racial bias. As part of this investigation, this paper draws on Critical Race Theory, Feminist Theory, and Digital New Media studies to examine the extent to which social media, while seen as a place for ‘play’ can also operate as a digital homespace, a space used as a tool for black women and men to (re)construct their bodies and identities, challenging the “controlling images” widespread in mainstream media and society at large. This paper employs the methods of content analysis and participant observation and find that these social media forums are not transformative by themselves but instead have little moments that make for resistance and a digital homespace. Keywords: battleground; black Twitter; digital homespace; playground; textual poaching 1. Introduction In the past couple of years, the United States has experienced an intense level of social unrest, mass protest, and riots partly due to the war on black bodies by police and state officials. On 17 July 2014, Eric Garner, a 40-year old father of six was choked to death by a New York City police officer attempting to subdue him.
