  • Petition for Public Inquiry Into Abuse in Musical Education
    PETITION FOR INQUIRY INTO ABUSE IN MUSICAL EDUCATION The following petition was launched on February 16th, 2013, and published in the Guardian on February 19th. By February 24th, it had gained over a thousand signatories, including over 200 former students at Chetham’s. It was re-opened from May 9th to May 31st, 2013, following further allegations of sexual abuse at various UK music educational establishments. Since then more signatories have also been added. The following contains the list of signatories as of November 26th, 2013. In recent weeks, the ongoing allegations of historical sexual abuse at Chetham’s School of Music have put many aspects of music education under intense public scrutiny. This is following the conviction of the former director of music, Michael Brewer, the tragic death of Frances Andrade and extensive testimonies in the press of other abuse. It is now clear that there should be a full independent inquiry into the alleged sexual and psychological abuse of children and young people by Chetham’s staff since the establishment of the institution as a music school in 1969. Such an inquiry would ideally extend to other institutions as well, some of which have also been the subject of allegations of abuse. Recent press reports have suggested that during this time many students complained to senior members of staff about the sexually abusive behaviour of a number of Chetham’s teachers, but that no satisfactory action was taken. It is of primary concern that those who stand accused should be investigated as soon as possible. However, if these allegations are shown to be correct, it will also be important to understand the wider implications of a school culture which facilitated such abuses of trust, and afforded alleged offenders long-term protection.

The Wit of Judge Rinder: Judges, Humour and Popular Culture. Received 19 October 2018; Accepted 12 November 2018. Oñati Socio-Legal Series [online], 9(5), 771-798. Available from: https://doi.org/10.35295/osls.iisl/0000-0000-0000-1036 Abstract Judge Rinder is a British reality TV court show. It has much in common with the US archetype Judge Judy. But there are differences. One is Judge Rinder’s humour, and more specifically his wit. Using a research database of Judge Rinder cases. The article examines the nature and effects of humour in this courtroom setting. It explores the role of the judge, the form the humour takes and the interactions and social relations it generates. A distinctive feature of the analysis is consideration of the impact of the audio-visual technologies, and the techniques and conventions developed around them, upon the interactions and social relations the onscreen humour generates with viewers. While the camera aligns the screen audience with the judge and the laughter track infects the audience with emotion the judge generates, the paper cautions against assuming that all viewers have the same emotional experience. Key words Judge Rinder; reality TV court shows; Judge Judy; emotions; humour; laughter; television Resumen Judge Rinder es un reality show judicial británico. Tiene mucho en común con el arquetipo de Judge Judy, de EEUU; pero hay diferencias.

  • Television for Women: Generation, Gender and the Everyday
    Television for Women: Generation, Gender and the Everyday Study submitted in part fulfilment of the requirement for the award of PhD Hazel Collie March, 2014 To be awarded by De Montfort University, and undertaken in collaboration with the University of Warwick. Sponsored by the Arts and Humanities Research Council 1 Declaration I declare that this is my own, original work and that all sources used have been cited. Name: Hazel Collie Signed: Date: 2 Abstract This study is part of the AHRC funded project “A History of Television for Women in Britain, 1947-1989”. The research is based upon the data gathered from interviews carried out with thirty geographically and generationally dispersed women about their memories of watching television in Britain between 1947 and 1989. I have used generation and gender as analytical categories, and have paid particular attention to the role of memory work in this type of historical research. This thesis aims to build upon previous work which has investigated the connection between generation and interaction with popular culture, but which has not theorised those relationships (Press, 1991; Moseley, 2002). The shifts and, indeed, continuities in the lives of different generations of British women are considered to gain a sense of the importance of generation in the production of identity. Significant differences arose between generations in terms of reflexivity and around questions of quality, value and taste as generations intersected with feminist and neoliberal cultures at different life stages. What was particularly interesting, however, was that despite the dramatic social change wrought by this post-war period, the narratives of women of different generations were surprisingly similar in terms of their everyday lives.
