  • Ideal Homes? Social Change and Domestic Life
    IDEAL HOMES? Until now, the ‘home’ as a space within which domestic lives are lived out has been largely ignored by sociologists. Yet the ‘home’ as idea, place and object consumes a large proportion of individuals’ incomes, and occupies their dreams and their leisure time while the absence of a physical home presents a major threat to both society and the homeless themselves. This edited collection provides for the first time an analysis of the space of the ‘home’ and the experiences of home life by writers from a wide range of disciplines, including sociology, criminology, psychology, social policy and anthropology. It covers a range of subjects, including gender roles, different generations’ relationships to home, the changing nature of the family, transition, risk and alternative visions of home. Ideal Homes? provides a fascinating analysis which reveals how both popular images and experiences of home life can produce vital clues as to how society’s members produce and respond to social change. Tony Chapman is Head of Sociology at the University of Teesside. Jenny Hockey is Senior Lecturer in the School of Comparative and Applied Social Sciences, University of Hull. IDEAL HOMES?

A BST R A C T The aims of this research are to examine and explore perceptions of the built environmental impacts of heritage tourism in urban settlements; to explore the practice of heritage tourism management; and to examine the consequences of both for the sustainability of the heritage environment. The literature review explores the concepts of heritage management, the heritage production model, the tourist-historic city, and sustainability and the impact of tourism on the built environment. A theoretical framework is developed, through an examination of literature on environmental impacts, carrying capacity, sustainability, and heritage management; and a research framework is devised for investigating the built environmental impacts of heritage tourism in urban settlements, based around five objectives, or questions.

Distance learning in general is examined, and current models of provision and the audiences served by these programs exp discussed for three broad categories: (1) Flexistudy, which combines college-based individual and group tutorials with individual correspondence course work; (2) directed private study, which combines work at home on correspondence course style materials with tutoring at local colleges; and (3) individualized home study, in which students arrange a program based on a mixture of currently available distance teachingmaterials, specially-prepared assignments, directed reading, and exercises. Distance learners and the experience of distance learning are discussed, and findings are reported from a survey of 69 students in') two distance learning schemes. A final chapter considers the future development of distance learning for adults and summarizes main findings of preceding chapters. A 30-item reference list is provided, and appendices include a 7-item bibliography of open univ 'ty research on distance learners, contributors to the report, an the Flexi-Study student profile questionnaire.

  • Urbanisation and the Urban Landscape: Bury St Edmunds
    URBANISATION AND THE URBAN LANDSCAPE: BUILDING MEDIEVAL BURY ST EDMUNDS ABBY L. ANTROBUS VOLUME 1 Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Archaeology, University of Durham 2009 ABSTRACT Urbanisation and Urban Landscape: Building Medieval Bury St Edmunds. Abby L. Antrobus Bury St Edmunds (Suffolk) was a great Western European pilgrimage and commercial centre. Primarily, this thesis presents the first synthesis of fragmentary topographical, archaeological, documentary and architectural evidence for the development of this under-publicised town, from its proto-urban origins to c.1220. It reveals: a likely Middle- Saxon enclosure; an hypothesised early suburb; a Late-Saxon settlement, church and assembly place; a nine-part grid of AD 1066-1086; 12th-century additions, including defences and the market place; and later 12th-century suburban development and reinvestment. Secondly, the thesis contributes to Medieval urban landscape studies by demonstrating that there is potential to engage with frameworks developed in Historical Archaeology that recognise towns as invested, negotiated and lived spaces. ‘Townscape’ is framed as an arena in which fortunes were made and contested by individuals and institutions. Rapid urbanisation across Europe was bound up with a commercial boom and the related widespread enfranchisement of urban communities, particularly marked in the later 12th-century. Jocelin of Brakelond’s Chronicle (1173-1202) reveals the powers of negotiation gained by the burgesses of Bury St Edmunds and here, the aspirations of the population are considered alongside the evolving landscape and building stock. Inspired by studies of Late-Medieval and Early-Modern towns, which demonstrate coincidences between the enclaves of urban elites and the most significant social, economic, political, religious and ritual places in mutable urban topographies, this thesis seeks evidence for the built environment in the formative High-Medieval period.
