  • Performing Politics Emma Crewe, SOAS, University of London
    Westminster MPs: performing politics Emma Crewe, SOAS, University of London Intentions My aim is to explore the work of Westminster Members of Parliament (MPs) in parliament and constituencies and convey both the diversity and dynamism of their political performances.1 Rather than contrasting MPs with an idealised version of what they might be, I interpret MPs’ work as I see it. If I have any moral and political intent, it is to argue that disenchantment with politics is misdirected – we should target our critiques at politicians in government rather than in their parliamentary role – and to call for fuller citizens’ engagement with political processes. Some explanation of my fieldwork in the UK’s House of Commons will help readers understand how and why I arrived at this interpretation. In 2011 then Clerk of the House, Sir Malcolm Jack, who I knew from doing research in the House of Lords (1998-2002), ascertained that the Speaker was ‘content for the research to proceed’, and his successor, Sir Robert Rogers, issued me with a pass and assigned a sponsor. I roamed all over the Palace, outbuildings and constituencies during 2012 (and to a lesser extent in 2013) listening, watching and conversing wherever I went. This entailed (a) observing interaction in debating chambers, committee rooms and in offices (including the Table Office) in Westminster and constituencies, (b) over 100 pre-arranged unstructured interviews with MPs, former MPs, officials, journalists, MPs’ staff and peers, (c) following four threads: media/twitter exchanges, the Eastleigh by-election with the three main parties, scrutiny of the family justice part of the Children and Families Bill, and constituency surgeries, (d) advising parliamentary officials on seeking MPs’ feedback on House services.

BECAUSE OF THE RISK OF MISHEARING AND THE DIFFICULTY IN SOME CASES OF IDENTIFYING INDIVIDUAL SPEAKERS, THE BBC CANNOT VOUCH FOR ITS COMPLETE ACCURACY. IN TOUCH – Sex Education TX: 27.02.2018 2040-2100 PRESENTER: PETER WHITE PRODUCER: GEORGINA HEWES White Good evening. Tonight, how to solve the challenges of teaching sex education to visually impaired students. And one day at work in an environment definitely not geared to blind and partially sighted people. Clip Walker I can’t imagine being able to find my way round here ever. De Cordova Well that’s why I’ve got my sighted assistant because they take away that stress. White We’ll be following in the footsteps of Marsha de Cordova as she gets to grips with the Aladdin’s cave that is Parliament. But first, I come from the era where sex education was little more than one lesson on human reproduction, with much confusing talk about things like gonads and gametes which bore very little relevance to what we really wanted to know about. For a totally blind child, like me, it was all a deep mystery and you’d like to think that we’ve moved on a bit since then. But as the Department for Education closes a consultation exercise on the subject it looks as if there could still be a long way to go. Jordan is in his last year at a mainstream academy in southeast London and he feels he got little from the sex education classes he attended.

  • EXPERIENCES of SAUDI WOMEN in HIGHER EDUCATION Submitted
    DISSERTATION ROAD TO LEADERSHIP: EXPERIENCES OF SAUDI WOMEN IN HIGHER EDUCATION Submitted by Suzan Hassan AlDoubi School of Education In partial fulfillment of requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 2014 Doctoral Committee: Advisor: Sharon K. Anderson Nathalie Kees Linda Kuk Lumina Albert Copyright by Suzan AlDoubi 2014 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT ROAD TO LEADERSHIP: EXPERIENCES OF SAUDI WOMEN IN HIGHER EDUCATION The purpose of this narrative study was to explore the stories of Saudi women leaders about their experiences in accessing leadership positions in higher education. In addition, this study sought to offer Saudi women leaders the opportunity to talk about their social roles and gender stereotypes they were expected to uphold in their efforts to access and perform their leadership positions in higher education. The two guiding research questions were: (1) what were the stories of Saudi women leaders about their experiences in accessing leadership positions in higher education? and, (2) what social roles and gender stereotypes were these women leaders expected to uphold in the workplace? The sampling consisted of six Saudi women leaders in higher education. Thematic analysis was used as a mean of analyzing the data. The findings of this study indicated that Saudi women leaders accessed leadership positions in higher education after they attained their doctoral degree. For the social roles and gender stereotypes women leaders encountered in the workplace when interacting with men, the emerged themes were men’s role, women leader’s double bind, and women leaders’ feminine characteristics. The result of interacting with women revealed, women leaders being enemies of other women, supportive, or situational actions.
