Contact: [email protected] THE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING OF ACADEMICS IN HIGHER EDUCATION: A SOCIOMATERIAL PERSPECTIVE by Wayne Barry Canterbury Christ Church University Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Education 2018 DECLARATION I certify that this work has not been accepted in substance for any degree, and is not concurrently being submitted for any degree other than the Doctorate in Education (EdD) being studied at the Canterbury Christ Church University. I also declare that this work is the result of my own investigations except where otherwise identified by references and that I have not plagiarised the work of others. Wayne Barry ii DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to my Mother, who lit the touch paper to my own love of learning. You are and always will be my first teacher. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This EdD thesis is intertwined with various people and objects from many spaces, places, and times. I have often compared my doctoral experience to that of a pilgrimage, eschewing the more obvious, but overwrought 'journey' metaphor. Being a resident of Canterbury, I found it irresistible not to compare my experiences to that of Geoffrey Chaucer's most famous work with its suggestion of liminality. A number of "sundry folk" have helped, guided, inspired and walked alongside me in my doctoral pilgrimage. This page is dedicated to those "sundry folk". I should like to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisors Dr. Christian Beighton and Professor Andrew Peterson for their warm, positive support, advice and encouragement throughout my research. I would like to thank Dr. Lynn Revell (Chair) for her enthusiasm, interest and support in this project, and for her unwavering commitment and inspiration in creating a challenging, yet immensely rewarding EdD programme (and a big 'thank you' for that too!). I should like to acknowledge the initial guidance provided by Dr. Simon Hayhoe and Dr. Darren Ambrose, which was very helpful in the latter stages of my research. I also like to thank Katy Russ for transcribing the interviews and Jane CoomberSewell and Lynne Burroughs for proof-reading my thesis. Special thanks go to: Mr. Phil Poole who sponsored and supported my application. Dr. Chris Young, Dr. Richard McManus and Dr. Ian Hocking for their invaluable input, encouragement and interest in my research. I like to extend my gratitude and admiration to all of the participants who joined me on my pilgrimage, and the warmth and generosity they bestowed upon me in sharing their own professional learning 'tales' with me. A warm thank you to all of my colleagues, past and present, in Learning and Teaching Enhancement, and in particular my colleagues within the Learning Technology Team who have to put up with me occasionally - a thank you to each and every one of you. This pilgrimage was made possible by the mutual support, understanding and camaraderie of my fellow pilgrims on the EdD Generic Cohort 2 (2013) programme. Our respective paths have taken us deep into the highlands, lowlands and, on occasion, swamplands of doctoral study and research. Thank you for walking alongside me. iv I am indebted to my family and friends for their tireless support and vital encouragement, and for the compromises they had to make in providing me with the necessary space and time to devote to this research. A very special thank you goes to my 10 year-old niece, Freya, who constantly reminds me that learning is a joyous and rewarding activity. Finally, as this is a sociomaterial study, I should like to extend my appreciation to the various technologies, objects, discourses, ideas, and spaces (so often taken for granted) that have facilitated and enabled my research, and in particular, my own professional learning. v ABSTRACT Introduction For academics in UK Higher Education (HE), professional learning (PL) is a complex endeavour involving a multitude of (in)formal learning encounters. However, these PL encounters are at risk as academics prioritised conflicting knowledge domains and negotiate various social and material engagements that can enable or encumber these encounters. This thesis reports on research that attempts to illuminate these sociomaterial entanglements using Actor-Network Theory and Non-Representational Theory as a theoretical framework. Methods A transformative mixed method case study of a single UK university using content analysis, questionnaire, interview and photovoice methods were undertaken. Twelve academic staff, with module leader responsibilities, were selected from the academic staff questionnaire (n:182) to be interviewed and photograph their PL experiences. Unique to sociomaterial investigation was the photovoice method, enabling the participants to become empowered as co-researchers. Results The analysis of the data suggests that academics tend to be strategic in prioritising conflicting knowledge domains. In the case of knowledge not related to their subject discipline, academics will often fast-track information from a "knowledgeable other". Furthermore, academics will construct "surrogate" or "transient" spaces in which to seek refuge from the various disruptions and interruptions generated by their institution. Academics will use these spaces for uninterrupted learning or work and as a means for promoting self-care. Discussion The study identified four interrelated spatial properties (transient, affective, controlled and immersive), which provides an explanation why some spaces were more conducive to PL than other spaces. Furthermore, space is composed of multiple and interconnected spatial configurations that coalesce into a single spatial configuration, which I call coalescent space. The study also proposes a number of future research directions involving the PL of early career academics and academics on sessional contracts. vi Keywords professional learning, sociomateriality, higher education, photovoice, actor-network theory, non-representational theory vii TABLE OF CONTENTS Declaration ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ii Dedication ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... iii Acknowledgements ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... iv Abstract ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... vi Table of Contents ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... viii List of Tables ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... xv List of Figures ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... xv List of Photographs ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... xvi Abbreviations ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... xvii Chapter 1: Introduction ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 1 1.1.

  • Normal Now! Art and Dis/Ability in a Digital World
    29 OCTOBER, 2020 Normal Now! Art and Dis/ability in a Digital World Department of Culture and Aesthetics 2 NORMAL NOW! ART AND DIS/ABILITY IN A DIGITAL WORLD Welcome to the international symposium Normal Now! Art and Dis/ability in a Digital World Who counts as normal, and how can we ask this question so that the answers give us keys to a more inclusive society? Warmly welcome to discuss this topical question with internationally leading scholars and artists working on the theme of bodies, technologies and norms – a central theme in a digital world where images govern who is included and who is excluded. This symposium presents diverse challenges to the image of normality – the image that identifies us as normal or not – so that we may confront stereotypes about what we can do and be. The impetus of the symposium is a commitment to a topic with pressing societal relevance: understanding and transforming the ways in which notions of normality emerge in our cultural expressions and experiences, at a time when diversity is increasingly at stake. Art mirrors and drives these processes, as it originates and circulates in a media landscape dependent on coded standards that pervade global infrastructures as well as our most intimate relations. For this reason, and many more, we need to consider the conditions and consequences of how we imagine the normal, how we give these imaginings power in the form of images – and how such images affect everyday activities and identities in the 21st century network society. Anchored in a project on blind photographers, the symposium responds to this need by sharing new knowledge together with individuals who define a growing field and by making that knowledge available to a broad audience.

As a native of Donegal with some knowledge of Paddy the Cope’s legendary status I find myself working in a University film department housed in the Powell Building, named after Michael Powell. The opportunity to bring Donegal and Powell’s Canterbury back together again was too serendipitous to miss. The story of Paddy the Cope was another of those films which only I would want to make and which I certainly should have made (Powell, 1986: 565). Almost ten pages of the first volume of Michael Powell’s (1905-90) autobiography is taken up with the trip to Ireland in 1946, the journey on horseback from Dublin to Dungloe to meet Paddy the Cope, at least near Dungloe, as by most accounts the horses were stabled at Inver and had to be returned to their owners in Dublin. Powell’s sojourn through Ireland provided so much publicity and incident it is surprising the trek has not become the basis for some retelling in film, television, radio, prose or theatre.

Liminal soundscapes in Powell & Pressburger’s wartime films Anita Jorge Université de Lorraine This article explores Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger’s wartime films through the prism of the soundscape, focusing on the liminal function of sound. Dwelling on such films as 49th Parallel (1941) and One of Our Aircraft is Missing (1942), it argues that sound acts as a diegetic tool translating the action into a spatiotemporal elsewhere, as well as a liberation tool, enabling the people threatened by Nazi assimilation to reach for a more permissive world where restrictions no longer operate. Lastly, the soundscape serves as a ‘translanguage’, bridging the gap between soldiers and civilians, or between different nations fighting against a common enemy, thus giving birth to a transnational community.

  • 415 REVIEWS Area, Produced by the Romney Marsh Research Trust (RMRT) and Its Antecedents
    Archaeologia Cantiana - Vol. 131 2011 REVIEWS Excavations at Market Way St Stephen’s, Canterbury. By Richard Helm and Jon Rady. ix + 90 pp. 35 figs, 30 plates and 33 tables. CAT Occasional Paper No. 8, 2011. Paperback, £13.95. ISBN 978-1-870545-2-1. This very recently published report on the Market Way excavations adds considerably to the knowledge and understanding of the importance of suburban sites peripheral to Canterbury. Activity on this site has been dated to the Mesolithic, through the Neolithic to the transition of the Bronze to the Iron Age. After an apparent break in use of the site there is evidence of late Iron Age and early Roman agricultural activity along the Stour reflecting a trend already identified in the area. Although the excavations did not uncover as much as was hoped to consolidate the nearby findings by Frank Jenkins in the 1950s, sufficient evidence remained of the suburban pottery and tile industry which emerged in Canterbury suburbs during the first and second centuries AD, fixing the Market Way site into the overall pattern of activity along the Stour. From the mid-second century AD signs of abandonment are all that remain. The possible existence of a Roman road running from Northgate to the Market Way site is sustained by later Roman inhumation burials along the route, and the use of the route after a four hundred year hiatus, when the next agricultural settlements, evidenced by field patterns, emerged in the eighth century, only to be abandoned after the middle of the ninth century. Thereafter the site remained unoccupied until late post-medieval horticultural usage.
