Schatzberger BA(Hons), PGDipLaw, Barrister-at-Law Date of submission: May 2018 1 Disclaimer: The views expressed in this research project are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the supervisory team, Middlesex University, or the examiners of this work Elliot Schatzberger May 2018 Middlesex University 2 Acknowledgements and thanks Firstly, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to my supervisor Dr Kate Maguire for her insight, encouragement and guidance. Kate not only enabled me to ‘see the light’ in relation to critical reflection but also helped me to create a work which seeks to show that it is possible to transform the horrific into a creative, dynamic action that is a tangible demonstration that the darkness of 20th Century Fascism did not win. I would also like to thank my Head of Department and doctoral consultant Professor Laurent Pech for his tireless support and allowing me the time to make this project happen; to my colleague, mentor and friend Dr Lilian Miles for helping me see through the lens and to my colleague and friend Susan Scott-Hunt for sowing the seed which was the genesis of this work. I would also like to thank my amazing wife Ewa and our incredible Emilia for their love, support and patience. Our warm and loving home-life has contributed to this work more than either will ever know. Finally, this work is dedicated to my family, especially my late mother, father and grandparents. It struck me that my final draft was completed on the very day of what would have been my mother’s 80th birthday. Without my lineage and their history, this work would never have been written. Also, of course my brother Simon and sister Julie. It is a tribute to their resilience and to their survival, and a tribute to all who are able to do more than just survive. The magnitude of the human spirit cannot and should not ever be underestimated. 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS AND THANKS 3 LIST OF PUBLIC WORKS 5 SUMMARY OF MY INTENTIONS 6-7 METHODOLOGY AND THE THEORETICAL LENS 8 CRITICAL THEORY 8-11 SOCIAL CONSTRUCTIVIST THEORY 11-15 CURRENT PEDAGOGY IN HIGHER EDUCATION; A CONTEXTUALISATION. 15-25 PART 1: CRITICAL REFLECTION 26 THE SEARCH FOR MEANING 26-29 OUT OF AUSTRIA 30-34 DUTCH COURAGE AND THE BLITZ SPIRIT 35-37 THE FAMILY SCHATZBERGER 38-41 THE ROAD NOT TAKEN 42-45 FROM WIG TO WIG 46-49 PART 2: PUBLIC WORKS 50 LIST OF PUBLIC WORKS 51 PUBLIC WORKS THEMES 52-55 1.

Consultation Paper ‘The Role of Equity in English Law’; written for the Kazakhstan Supreme Court [work-in-progress] 5 Summary of my intentions I start with my name as, through this doctoral commentary, I have come to re- contextualise my name and its association with my identity in my current role and its importance in influencing how I teach. It is Elliot Schatzberger. My surname translates as ‘man from Treasure Mountain’, but another translation, taken from Germanic Yiddish, which has even more resonance, is the ‘good or treasured shepherd’ I am a Senior Lecturer in Law and recently appointed Head of Learning and Teaching within the School of Law and Politics at Middlesex University. I have been given the opportunity to write this work to facilitate an exploration of what Bruns (1995) refers to as the nature of the hermeneutical experience in relation to my role as a legal educator. This doctorate is an opportunity to articulate what feeds into my own pedagogy and philosophy of education and what is transferable to others. Interrogating my works through the methodology and theoretical lenses of both Vygotsky’s Social Constructivist theories (Cole et al, 1979) and Critical Theory as propounded by Horkheimer, Adorno and others (Cowan, 2003), I will hope to address what is taught or can be taught and what comes from within, through personal experience. The objective, in line with the Schon’s ‘critical consciousness’ theories (1983), is to reflect on my formative years, my early career and my Public Works from 2003 in Malawi to 2016 in relation to my journal article, in order to demonstrate that, as illustrated by Bruns’ hermeneutic devices, the personal cannot and should not be divorced from the social, professional, universal and political (Bruns, 1995). I aim to demonstrate that it is exactly this manner of critical reflection that can bridge the personal and professional to illuminate my teaching and my role as a legal educator. What I hope will emerge is not only how to learn from reflection, but how to develop the curriculum and the pedagogy, the difference between being an inspiring and successful legal educator and taking responsibility for the development of teaching. I also aim to demonstrate that as McKinley (2015, p.184) suggests, “human [pedagogical] development is socially situated, and knowledge is constructed by interaction with others.” 6 The critical commentary is in two parts; firstly, a critical self-reflection looking back at what Philip Roth in his discussion with Primo Levi refers to as “…rootedness…” (1986, p.182) - an examination of my family history and early career path and how that has deeply influenced the values I hold, and which inform my professional practice and public works and, secondly, a critical analysis of the Public Works themselves. What has emerged that interconnects them: values and ethics; a strong drive towards acceptance of difference; making something out of what at first appears to be very little and helping people not just to survive but to reveal and develop their potential. 7 Methodology and the Theoretical Lens An approach to critiquing the public works I have chosen to interrogate my works through two separate theoretical lenses, both of which are apposite to my two main classifications of Public Works. In relation to my practitioner works in Malawi which has informed the formation of a new public work with the Supreme Court Justices in Kazakhstan, I have found critical theory to have some appeal, specifically the Frankfurt School and the work of Horkheimer and Adorno. In relation to my pedagogical works, I have rediscovered Lev Vygotsky and his particular take on social constructivism. Both theoretical frameworks lend themselves to the underpinning and reflective analysis of my Works. This doctoral commentary has allowed me the opportunity for what Schon refers to as “…reflection- in-action” (1983, p.278) and it is through the process of writing by way of critical reflection that I have selected these frameworks to explore my “…philosophy of [the] educative experience” (Dewey, 1938, p.28).

  • Drama and Theatre
    Drama and Theatre You need to do three things to be a top quality dramatist – watch theatre, read plays and create. The more you do these three things, the more you will fall in love with theatre, deepen your appreciation and understanding of the art form and develop your ability to produce sophisticated pieces of theatre. Doing any of these will develop your knowledge and ability, but the top drama students find the balance between all three: Watching theatre is the best way a drama practitioner gets inspired and generates initial ideas. You will see things on stage which will make you think or feel a certain way; it may prompt a cathartic response, shock you or make you consider a topic in a completely new light. As practitioners, we are constantly stealing and adapting each other’s ideas to create great theatre. Reading plays gives you a deeper appreciation of the history and tradition of theatre. It also allows you to consider a story and imagine your own directorial, design and performance interpretations. The more you read, the more you exercise your imagination. Creating is crucial to actually applying and practising the skills and ideas you get from watching and reading theatre. You cannot be a top quality dramatist if you do not practise the craft. And the process works both ways. Watching theatre and reading plays will make you a more inspired and informed creator. But creating will also give you a deeper and richer appreciation of the plays you watch and read. Below, I have outlined 16 of my favourite plays, all of which have made an incredibly important cultural contribution to theatre history.

  • Society of Legal Scholars Conference 2016 Legislation Or Judicial Law Reform
    Society of Legal Scholars Conference 2016 Legislation or judicial law reform: where should judges fear to tread? Lady Hale, Deputy President of The Supreme Court 7 September 2016 James Lee set me a challenge in his paper on ‘The Etiquette of Law Reform’ at the seminar held last year to celebrate 50 years since the creation of the Law Commissions1: why, he asked, was the Law Commission’s competence a factor against judicial development of the law on pre-nuptial agreements in Radmacher v Granatino 2 (or, he might more pertinently have asked, on witness immunity in Jones v Kaney3) but not similarly a factor in the joint ownership cases of Stack v Dowden4 and Jones v Kernott?5 Although generally a respecter of the judicial motto, ‘never explain and never apologise’, this is a fair question and I shall attempt to give it a fair answer. The wider question is ‘when should a judge feel free to develop, change or reform the law rather than leaving it to Parliament?’ In trying to answer the question, please forgive me for concentrating on the cases in which I have been involved. Recently in the Supreme Court There is a tendency, noticeable among some law students, but not among the members of this Society, to think of Stack v Dowden and Jones v Kernott as family law cases, concerned with discretionary property adjustment when an unmarried couple’s relationship breaks down. They were no such thing. They were property law cases concerned with deducing the intentions of the 1 Ch 29 in M Dyson, J Lee and S Wilson Stark (eds),Fifty Years of the Law Commissions (2016) Bloomsbury; see also Ch 20, Andrew Burrows, ‘Post-legislative Scrutiny, Legislative Drafting and the “Elusive Boundary”’.

  • Introduction to Ecovenue Ecovenue Is a Signifi Cant Theatre-Specifi C Environmental Project Being Run by the Theatres Trust
    Introduction to Ecovenue Ecovenue is a signifi cant theatre-specifi c environmental project being run by The Theatres Trust. It aims to improve the environmental performance of forty-eight London theatres and raise awareness of how to make theatres greener. Ecovenue is promoting the sustainability of theatres and the reduction of carbon emissions through the provision of free theatre-specifi c, environmental advice. The project started in 2009 and runs until 2012. Forty-eight venues each undergo an Environmental Audit, and receive a Display Energy Certifi cate (DEC) and Advisory Report. They track their energy use through SMEasure. Each venue receives a second DEC a year after their fi rst to measure progress. Ecovenue includes a ‘DEC Pool’ of performing arts venues across the UK that have obtained DECs. The DEC Pool helps us to evaluate the project and share best practice and information, establish meaningful benchmarks, and provide a better understanding of energy use of theatres. Any theatre can join the DEC Pool. The Trust’s Theatres Magazine provides quarterly reports on the participants and the work of the Ecovenue project. The Theatres Trust Ecovenue project receives fi nancial support from the European Regional Development Fund.

  • Rethinking the Common Intention Constructive Trusts in Stack V Dowden and Jones V Kernott – Should the Resulting Trusts Be Preferred?
    Rethinking the Common Intention Constructive Trusts in Stack v Dowden and Jones v Kernott – should the Resulting Trusts be preferred? by Yee Ching Leung Abstract Yee Ching Leung takes the two landmark cases, Stack v Dowden [2007] UKHL 17 and Jones v Kernott [2011] UKSC 53, as starting points to consider the new Common Intention Constructive Trust approach in dealing with the issue of how the beneficial interest of a property is to be shared between two separating cohabitants. The article analyses whether this new approach should be preferred over the traditional Resulting Trust approach. The author explains the two approaches and gives three arguments in support of the Resulting Trust approach. First, it provides a greater degree of certainty, which is crucial in property law. Secondly, the traditional approach is more coherent in principle when comparing to the Common Intention Constructive Trust approach. Thirdly, the author argues that the Resulting Trust approach would not leave the discretion of judges unconfined. Toward the end of the article, the author gives two brief replies to the critics of the Resulting Trust approach. However, the Common Intention Constructive Trust approach is now the law of England and whether the Resulting Trust approach will return remains to be seen. I. Introduction This article concerns the issue of how the beneficial interest of a property is to be shared between two separating cohabitants. Generally, the issue can be resolved by either an express trust or an express agreement. However, in a domestic context, it is common that cohabitants do not make explicit arrangements. Accordingly, the courts have to decide the issue when disputes arise during their separation.

  • 40 More Theatres Supported with Final Theatre Reopening Fund Grants
    Theatres Trust supports 40 more theatres with final Theatre Reopening Fund grants The national public advisory body for theatre has awarded a further £155,265 of grants to help theatres with costs of Covid-secure reopening, including changes to the building to reduce congestion, improvements to ventilation systems and simple measures like installing hand sanitisers and screens. The theatres supported reflect the vital elements that make up the theatre ecosystem with awards made to significant producing theatres – Hampstead Theatre, Lyric Hammersmith, Pitlochry Festival Theatre, Theatre Royal Bath – major receiving houses Capital Theatres and Worthing Theatres, venues specialising in dance (Northern Ballet), new writing (Traverse, New Diorama, Gate Theatre) and one of the country’s few puppet theatres, Upfront Theatre. Community theatres across the country have received grants, including young people-focused Blue Elephant Theatre and Hanger Farm Arts Centre, which works with people with learning disabilities. Theatres Trust has also given grants to help reopen every type of theatre building, including the country’s last remaining Regency theatre, Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds, theatres in converted cinemas (People’s Theatre and Blackburn Empire) and former churches (Headgate Theatre and Lowestoft Players Theatre), pub theatres (Jack Studio Theatre), outdoor theatre (Rutland Open Air) and even a travelling theatre – Paines Plough. Theatres Trust Director Jon Morgan says, We are beginning to look forward to a time when theatres can reopen, welcome audiences back inside and continue to play a vital role in their communities. It has been a difficult year, but Theatres Trust is pleased to have been able to support so many theatres through this grant scheme as well as our free advice service and the #SaveOurTheatres Crowdfunding campaign.
