    Leah Tether and Laura Chuhan Campbell Early Book Collections and Modern Audiences: Harnessing the Identity/ies of Book Collections as Collective Resources This article summarizes and contextualizes the discussions of a workshop held at Durham University in November 2018. In this workshop, participants (includ- ing academics, students, independent scholars, special and rare books librarians, and archivists) discussed the notion of the collection (that is, the identity of collection as a whole, rather than just its constituent parts), and its potential to serve as a means of engaging both scholarly and public audiences with early book cultures. This study sets out a series of considerations and questions that might be used when tackling such special collections engagement projects, including ones involving more modern collections than the case studies examined here. In November 2018, the Institute for Medieval and Early Modern Studies at Durham University kindly funded a workshop to investigate the ways in which contemporary audiences have been, are being, and can become engaged with medieval and early- modern book culture through the provision and distribution of key resources. These resources range from published books to digital artefacts and editions; from replica teaching kits—such as scriptorium suitcases—to physical archives and repositories.1 The aim of the workshop, which was led by one of this article’s two authors (Leah Tether), was to build a picture of best practice to inform the teaching and commu- 1. The authors are grateful to Durham’s Institute for Medieval and Early Modern Studies for fund- ing the workshop, and to the administrators of the Residential Research Library Fellowships (jointly organized by Ushaw College and Durham University) that enabled Leah Tether to spend time in Durham in November 2018.

The University of Edinburgh fully supports the Principles of this revised Concordat and we intend to uphold our obligations and responsibilities as a signatory. Research staff play a vital role at The University of Edinburgh and we are determined to support them to achieve their potential. We were one of the first eight UK universities to be awarded the HR Excellence in Research Award and have a comprehensive Code of Practice for the Management and Career Development of Research Staff. Our engagement in the process of revising this Concordat brought together research staff and allies in support services, Schools and Colleges, and research staff societies. This community will form a Concordat Implementation Group to embed our new responsibilities in core practices ensuring that researchers’ voices are at the heart of our plans. We are excited to work collectively and engage with initiatives to address systemic challenges in progressing towards a UK research system where researchers work in healthy and supportive environments. We agree that researchers should be recognised and valued for their contributions in research and beyond, supported in their professional and career development, and equipped and empowered to succeed in their chosen careers.

    Sources for the Study of Local History

    Durham County Record Office County Hall Durham DH1 5UL Telephone 03000 267619 e-mail: [email protected] website: www.durhamrecordoffice.org.uk SUBJECT GUIDE 2 : SOURCES FOR THE STUDY OF LOCAL HISTORY Issue 8 March 2012 This leaflet describes some of the resources available for the study of local history in the Durham County Record Office, and it is geared specifically to County Durham's history and historical materials. Durham's history and records are, in many ways, unlike those of most English counties. The most obvious distinctive feature of its history is that, until 1836, the Prince Bishop exercised powers in the County Palatine much greater than those of the authorities in other counties. Another feature of County Durham's history which should be taken into account is the influence wielded by the Dean and Chapter of Durham through its extensive ownership of land and consequent participation in the development of the coal industry. The third significant characteristic of Durham's history is the rise and decline of the coalfield itself. These three features of the history of the county have also meant that the bodies responsible for the preservation of its records are unusually diverse: the records of the Palatinate are in London at The National Archives, those of the Bishopric and Dean and Chapter are cared for by the Archives and Special Collections Section of the University of Durham Library and the Durham County Record Office holds other local records. It is intended in this leaflet to describe only those records held in the County Record Office which are relevant to the study of the most usually researched topics.

  • Why Kenya's Decision to Appoint 'Corporate' Chancellors Won't Fix Universities

    Why Kenya's Decision to Appoint 'Corporate' Chancellors Won't Fix Universities

    Why Kenya's decision to appoint 'corporate' chancellors won't fix univers... https://theconversation.com/why-kenyas-decision-to-appoint-corporate-... Why Kenya's decision to appoint 'corporate' chancellors won't fix universities Ishmael Munene The choice of chancellors appointed to head universities is a good indicator of the direction in which the state seeks to steer its institutions. It can foster or erode autonomy and shared decision-making. This has been a big issue in Kenya for decades. But the country isn’t alone. The balance between university autonomy and politicisation is relevant everywhere. In the British tradition, which Kenya generally applies, the university chancellor is a ceremonial head of a university. This titular head is usually a prominent citizen, a business or political leader. The executive academic and administrative head of the university is the vice-chancellor. Since independence the chancellors of public universities have either been heads of state or their appointees. They preside over graduation ceremonies, can give advice to the university councils, and make recommendations to the cabinet secretary of education. In theory the chancellor is a ceremonial position. But in practice Kenya’s chancellors are able – and even expected – to steer their universities in specific directions. This power is underlined in the three epochs that characterise the evolution of public universities’ chancellorship in the country. These are the political chancellor; the academic chancellor; and, more recently, the corporate chancellor. The corporate chancellor, common since 2013, is a response to mounting financial challenges facing Kenyan universities. The appointees include successful bankers, businessmen, corporate chief executives, industrialists and philanthropists.

    Research Article the Challenges of Student Affairs at Kenyan Public Universities

    Journal of Student Affairs in Africa | Volume 1 (1&2) 2013, 33–48 | ISSN 2307-6267 | DOI: 10.14426/jsaa.v1i1-2.34 research article The challenges of student affairs at Kenyan public universities Tamara Yakaboski* and Matthew Birnbaum** Abstract Kenya is increasingly turning to the promise of mass higher education to help solve a range of economic and social issues. These efforts have had profound effects on university students, faculty and professionals who provide the vital student support services necessary for academic success. This case study explores the challenges that face Kenyan student services professionals within the context of the country’s history and cultures. Kenya’s student service professionals face four major challenges: the increasing costs of attendance, the resulting impact on student behaviours and actions, lack of training and senior leadership, and regular campus closures. Keywords student affairs, accommodation, student housing, student services, university environment, higher education. The challenges of student affairs at Kenyan public universities Kenya is increasingly turning to the promise of mass higher education, meaning a shift from an elite to an open system of access, to help solve a range of economic and social problems (Jowi, 2009; Kenya Vision 2030, 2007). The national government has made its commitment to post-secondary education evident through the addition of over 25 public universities and constituent colleges since 1994 and its adoption of policies encouraging rapid enrolment growth in nearly all post-secondary institutions. Between 2010 and 2013, Kenya made nearly 20 constituent colleges and branch campuses into stand-alone universities. Even with this growing capacity, Kenya’s demand for access to affordable higher education far exceeds the system’s ability to deliver quality instruction and student support (Ngolovoi, 2010; Owuor, 2012).

    Annual Admissions Statistical Report 2019

    ANNUAL ADMISSIONS STATISTICAL REPORT May 2019 2019 | UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD ANNUAL ADMISSIONS STATISTICAL REPORT Foreword For the third year in a row Oxford has been ranked the best university in the world by the Times Higher Education Global Ranking. Unsurprisingly, therefore, competition for an undergraduate place at Oxford is intense and becomes more so every year. In 2018 over 21,500 students applied for one of the 3,300 places in the entering class, an increase in applications of over 4,000 in the past five years. In the pages that follow we present a detailed breakdown of those who applied to every college and hall in every subject for the past five years. We analyse the applications by academic achievement, by region, race and socio-economic background, as well as by disability and gender. Last year we made a commitment to publish this data annually. We do so in an effort to track our progress ourselves but also to try to demystify the somewhat unusual admissions process. Above all, we do so to demonstrate our commitment to transparency. From first glance at this data it is immediately apparent that Oxford University reflects the deep inequalities in our society along socio-economic, regional and ethnic lines. It must also be apparent, even to the most cynical observer, that we are making progress. The numbers are low, the pace is slow, but the trajectory is clear – the number of students admitted to Oxford from deprived backgrounds is steadily increasing. It was precisely because of our concern that the pace of change was too slow that this year we are increasing the size of our flagship summer programme, UNIQ, by 50% to 1,375 school pupils.
