  • Communications Review
    Communications Review 2017 Quarter 2 July - September Executive Summary Q2 Communications overview The new Police and Crime Plan priorities provide a framework for communications activity in 2017. Media summary Website, news and features • This quarter we focused on quality rather than quantity work, because we have carried four vacancies in the team and gap whilst we recruited a fifth team member • We ran a 5 week burglary campaign over the summer to support operational policing; we managed all the ticketing for the Open Day, ran a high profile sexual assault campaign and have invested heavily in planning for Hate Crime Awareness Week • Having a reduced team has impacted on the number of articles on the website and therefore the number of views and referrals (- 10 articles from Q1) • Due to time pressures and an increase in demand for appeals, the Press Team has often put CCTV/picture-led appeals directly onto social media rather than the website (-33 news stories) Social media • Our reduced capacity as a team can also be seen in the decrease in Facebook posts issued. Although we issued 16% fewer posts, our engagement only fell by 14% and our link clicks by only 11%. This shows that our average engagement and link clicks per post is actually increasing • Our Facebook audience continues to increase (+5%) despite our slower output, showing that our content continues to be relevant and engaging • The Press Team are increasingly issuing appeals directly on Twitter rather than hosting them on the website as a news story. So despite the vacancies, the number of Tweets issued remains steady • We’ve also seen an increase in link clicks from Twitter, indicating that when a story is hosted on our website, Tweeting a link is more efficient than sending a press release • Our Instagram account is run by a team off officers from the Ops Training, Mounted, and Dog sections.

  • 1 the Palestine Exception to Free Speech
    The Palestine Exception to Free Speech: Intertwined Stories from the Frontlines of UK-Based Palestine Advocacy by Malaka Mohammed Shwaikh and Rebecca Ruth Gould Although we only later came to realise its significance in our lives and for Palestine advocacy generally, February 2017 turned out to be a watershed month for those of us on the frontlines of the Palestine advocacy movement within the UK. During this month, amid a wave of cancellations of events critical of Israel, we were attacked in the media, smeared as antisemitic, and both supported and censored by our universities. The following month was marked by unprecedented censorship of Israel-critical events across the UK. As we now know, these events were linked to the UK government’s adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism.1 While many communities and activists were affected by the event cancellations and the many different forms of censorship linked to the IHRA adoption, to our knowledge, we are the only UK- based academics who were directly targeted as a result of our written statements relating to Israel during this tumultuous year. Malaka was based at the University of Exeter, and completing her PhD on Palestinian hunger strikers at the time of the attack. Rebecca had recently moved to the University of Bristol, where she was a Reader (Associate Professor) in Translation Studies and Comparative Literature. Rebecca would like to thank Kate Gould, Riz Mokal, Mike Joseph, Yair Wallach, Tom Sperlinger, and Seth Anzieska for help and insights, without implicating any of them in the views expressed here.

Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Arts) Department of Scottish Literature School of Critical Studies College of Arts University of Glasgow June 2019 Abstract Examining love in the life and work of Edwin Morgan (1920-2010), this thesis argues that Morgan’s literary and artistic demonstrations of love inherently respond to the legal, political, and social changes of Scotland in the twentieth and twenty-first century. By mapping Morgan’s biographical contexts within Scotland’s wider social history and culture, the impact of the nation and its shifting attitudes on Morgan’s collected works is delineated. An examination of material only available to researchers, including Morgan’s correspondence and scrapbooks held in Archives and Special Collections at Glasgow University Library, supplements this comprehensive exploration of the significance of love in Morgan’s life and work.

The merits of my dissertation are largely due to her intellectual generosity. I am also particularly grateful for my wonderful dissertation committee: Professors Adela Pinch, Marjorie Levinson, and Kali Israel. They were always available when I needed support, and the generous time and energy they gave me fed the growth of this project and my growth as an intellectual. I also owe special thanks to Professor Kerry Larson, for helping the development of Chapter One, and Professor Sid Smith, as well as the Poetry and Poetics Workshop—Professor Gillian White and Professor Petra Kuppers and Julia Hansen and Aran Ruth—for helping the development of Chapter Four. To my writing group—the “A. B. C.’s of D.”: Ben Pollak and Carolyn Dekker—you are such a great team and great friends! I thank the members of my second writing group—Ben Graham, Tim Greene, and Sylvia Tita—as well as Paul Barron and Ray McDaniel of the Sweetland Writing Center, all of whom helped my writing considerably.
