Meet 16-year-old Sipho, for example: “My father was often drunk and he used to beat my mother. After my mother and I moved out, there wasn’t enough food to eat and I started taking ganja and bunking off school. I was aggressive towards everyone. “My class teacher told me about Waves for Change. I started talking to the coaches and stopped the ganja. I decided to become the person I used to be. It wasn’t easy, of course. But if I’m having a bad day, I can smile after surfing. Standing up in the white water I feel free.

    Little Mix's Jesy Nelson: Online trolls made me want to die In a new BBC Three documentary, the singer reveals how online bullying affected her mental health In a new BBC Three documentary, Jesy Nelson: 'Odd One Out', the singer, 28, says that comments about her appearance made her so unhappy she “just wanted to die”. In a candid and tearful moment, Jesy recalls how she took an overdose after taunts about her looks became too much to bear. Jesy and her bandmates won the reality show in 2011, instantly taking them from complete unknowns to celebrities. In the documentary, the singer also explores how the trolling affected her mum, her sister, her bandmates and her relationships – and meets ordinary people who tell Jesy their stories of being bullied online. How much of an issue is trolling? The bullying began almost immediately after Jesy appeared on TV in the X Factor. She was put into the girl group alongside Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock. When Little Mix were announced as that year’s winners, Jesy says they were all “on cloud nine”. But just hours after winning the show, her excitement was tainted by trolling. “I had about 101 Facebook messages in my inbox, and the first one that came up was from some random man, saying: ‘You are the ugliest thing I’ve seen in my life, you do not deserve to be in this girl band. You deserve to die’.” It was a devastating blow to Jesy who, up until the barrage of insults and hate started during her time on X Factor, hadn’t had any problems with her body image.

    VOLUME 7 ISSUE 2b | 2020 SOCIAL JUSTICE PRACTICES FOR EDUCATIONAL THEATRE ARTSPRAXIS Emphasizing critical analysis of the arts in society. ISSN: 1552-5236 EDITOR Jonathan P. Jones, New York University, USA EDITORIAL BOARD Selina Busby, The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, UK Amy Cordileone, New York University, USA Ashley Hamilton, University of Denver, USA Norifumi Hida, Toho Gakuen College of Drama and Music, Japan Kelly Freebody, The University of Sydney, Australia Byoung-joo Kim, Seoul National University of Education, South Korea David Montgomery, New York University, USA Ross Prior, University of Wolverhampton, UK Daphnie Sicre, Loyola Marymount University, USA James Webb, Bronx Community College, USA Gustave Weltsek, Indiana University Bloomington, USA Tammie Swopes, New York University, USA ArtsPraxis Volume 7, Issue 2b looked to engage members of the global Educational Theatre community in dialogue around current research and practice. This call for papers was released in concert with the publication of ArtsPraxis Volume 7, Issue 1 and upon the launch of the new ArtsPraxis homepage. The submission deadline for Volume 7, Issue 2b was July 15, 2020. Submissions fell under the category of Social Justice Practices for Educational Theatre. Social Justice Practices for Educational Theatre As of early June, 2020, we found ourselves about ten days into international protests following the murder of George Floyd by police in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Protesters the world over made specific calls to action: acknowledge that black lives matter, educate yourself about social and racial injustice, and change the legal system that allows these heinous acts to go unpunished. In thinking through how we in the field of educational theatre could proactively address these needs, I reminded myself that there were many artists and educators who were already deeply engaged in this work.

  • The Contemporary English Country House Novel After 2000
    Resurgence and Renovation: The Contemporary English Country House Novel after 2000 Submitted for examination for the degree of Ph.D. in English Literature by Barbara Williams 080782814 School of English Literature, Language, and Linguistics Newcastle University August 2015 Abstract This thesis examines the resurgence of the English country house novel since 2000 as part of the growing popularity of the country house setting in contemporary British culture. In the context of economic recession, growing English nationalism, and a Conservative-led government accused of producing a ‘Downton Abbey-style society’, country house texts are often dismissed as nostalgic for a conservative social order. This study reclaims the English country house novel from this critical dismissal, stressing the genre’s political ambivalence. While readings of the country house resurgence are mostly played out through the media’s reaction to television programmes, my research provides a detailed and comparative examination of literary texts currently missing from the debate. I situate Ian McEwan’s Atonement (2001), Sally Beauman’s Rebecca’s Tale (2001), Toby Litt’s Finding Myself (2003), Wesley Stace’s Misfortune (2005), Diane Setterfield’s The Thirteenth Tale (2006), Sarah Waters’s The Little Stranger (2009), and Alan Hollinghurst’s The Stranger’s Child (2011) within a wider body of discourse on the country house, exploring the contemporary relevance and cultural value of the setting. It is my contention that the English country house novel self-consciously negotiates its growing popularity in contemporary culture. In chapter one, I argue that the recent shift from material to textual inheritance in the genre is a way of reclaiming voices traditionally excluded from the canonical house of fiction.

A starting point for effective representation are the “protected characteristics” defined by the Equality Act 2010 including, but not limited to, race, gender, sexuality, and disability, as well as their intersections. We recognise that definitions of diversity and representation are dynamic and constantly evolving and our content will aim to reflect this. Representology is a forum where academic researchers and media industry professionals can come together to pool expertise and experience. We seek to create a better understanding of the current barriers to media participation as well as examine and promote the most effective ways to overcome such barriers. We hope the journal will influence policy and practice in the media industry through a rigorous, evidence-based approach. Our belief is that a more representative media workforce will enrich and improve media output, enabling media organisations to better serve their audiences, and encourage a more pluralistic and inclusive public discourse. This is vital for a healthy society and well-functioning democracy. We look forward to working with everyone who shares this vision. 2 ISSUE 01 WINTER 2020 CONTENTS EDITORIAL 04 Lessons from history In the wake of Black Lives Matter, many Sir Lenny Henry and David Olusoga people at the helm of the UK media industry interview.

  • Analysis of Sainsbury's Collaboration with Comic Relief
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Leeds Beckett Repository The Communication of Corporate-NGO Partnerships: Analysis of Sainsbury’s Collaboration with Comic Relief Lynn Rohwer Martina Topić Leeds Beckett University Leeds Business School Rose Bowl, Portland Crescent Leeds, LS1 3HB United Kingdom Abstract This study focuses on CSR communication using the example of Corporate-NGO partnership between British supermarket chain Sainsbury’s and Comic Relief. Questionnaires were distributed to 40 participants asking them about their consumer behaviour and opinion on partnerships. Using thematic analysis, two main themes have been identified in the data set: some consumers are sceptical towards cross sector partnerships because they assume selfish reasons behind the collaboration and view them as corporate PR tool. On the other hand, the majority of consumers evaluate Corporate-NGO Partnerships as appropriate and a gain for society at large. The analysis showed that Sainsbury’s customers know about the partnership with Comic Relief while non-customers lack awareness, and that the most successful means of communication of partnerships is the supermarket promotion. Key words: corporations, partnerships, supermarket, Sainsbury’s, Comic Relief Introduction The influence of business in society has grown over time. However, there has been a shift in society’s expectations towards business operations due to changing environmental and societal settings. In times of digital communications, consumers and other stakeholders are increasingly aware and demand a more socially responsible approach from corporations. The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) meets these growing expectations and encourages businesses to modify their approaches (Tench et al., 2014).
