We are proud to have HRH the Prince of Wales as the University’s Royal Patron. The University’s Royal Charter is the oldest of any university in Wales and England after the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. The Lampeter campus was founded in 1822 and received its Royal Charter from King George IV in 1828; the Carmarthen campus was the first centre for teacher training in Wales established in 1848 and UWTSD can also claim one of the first art schools in the UK, established in Swansea in 1853. The University of Wales was established by Royal Charter in 1893 and was regarded as one of the most important political and social developments in the nineteenth century – created by the people of Wales; for the people of Wales. Coleg Sir Gâr was created in 1985 and became a corporate institution in 1993. In 2013 it became Coleg Sir Gar Ltd, a company within the University of Wales Trinity Saint David Group, and part of the Dual Sector University. The College has an annual turnover of over £35m and employs around 800 staff. The College is based in South West Wales and has five main campuses at Llanelli (Graig), Carmarthen (Pibwrlwyd and Jobs Well), Ammanford and Llandeilo (Gelli Aur).

  • People, Places and Policy
    People, Places and Policy Set within the context of UK devolution and constitutional change, People, Places and Policy offers important and interesting insights into ‘place-making’ and ‘locality-making’ in contemporary Wales. Combining policy research with policy-maker and stakeholder interviews at various spatial scales (local, regional, national), it examines the historical processes and working practices that have produced the complex political geography of Wales. This book looks at the economic, social and political geographies of Wales, which in the context of devolution and public service governance are hotly debated. It offers a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework for capturing the dynamics of locality-making, to go beyond the obsession with boundaries and coterminous geog- raphies expressed by policy-makers and politicians. Three localities – Heads of the Valleys (north of Cardiff), central and west coast regions (Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and the former district of Montgomeryshire in Powys) and the A55 corridor (from Wrexham to Holyhead) – are discussed in detail to illustrate this and also reveal the geographical tensions of devolution in contemporary Wales. This book is an original statement on the making of contemporary Wales from the Wales Institute of Social and Economic Research, Data and Methods (WISERD) researchers. It deploys a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework and innovative mapping techniques to represent spatial patterns in data. This allows the timely uncovering of both unbounded and fuzzy relational policy geographies, and the more bounded administrative concerns, which come together to produce and reproduce over time Wales’ regional geography.

  • ICT Use and Connectivity of Minority Communities in Wales
    Connected Communities ICT use and connectivity of minority communities in Wales Panayiota Tsatsou Ian Stafford Gary Higgs Richard Fry Robert Berry 1 ICT USE AND CONNECTIVITY OF MINORITY COMMUNITIES IN WALES ICT use and connectivity of minority communities in Wales Panayiota Tsatsou Ian Stafford Gary Higgs Richard Fry Robert Berry Executive Summary This project has aimed to gain an understanding of the impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) on changing cultures and patterns of connectivity within and between minority communities and the potential of multifaceted digital divides in constraining or shaping these forms of connectivity. It has used Wales as a test-bed and focused on ethnic communities (and their language and cultural attributes) and people with disabilities. The project activities ranged from reviewing the literature and existing research to undertaking stakeholder engagement activities. The project findings highlight that ICTs and the Internet are perceived as being key to promoting community connectivity in contemporary society and that the minority communities are at risk of both social and digital exclusion. There is clear anecdotal evidence that these communities require bespoke policy which reflects their specific needs and requirements. However, the evidence provided in existing (mostly quantitative) research data fails to adequately explore these issues and „grey data‟ is both difficult to identify and access. Therefore there is a clear rationale for developing more qualitative, fine grained, community-based

  • 'The College by the Sea' and Its Photographs
    ‘The College by the Sea’ and its photographs Introduction The University College of Wales, Aberystwyth (now Aberystwyth University) was founded in 1872 after years of struggle. During this period Scotland had its four well-established universities: Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Glasgow and St Andrews. England fared less well but had the ancient institutions of Oxford and Cambridge plus the newcomers Durham, King’s College and University College in London, and Owen’s College in Manchester. Ireland was blessed with Trinity College Dublin and the new Queen’s Colleges at Cork, Belfast and Galway. Only Wales was without a place of higher education (apart from St David’s College, Lampeter and other religious colleges). The effort to rectify this omission gathered pace during the nineteenth century. The story is in many ways a romantic one. The setting up of local committees in Wales, and in English cities such as London and Manchester, helped to further the cause, and money was collected in order to establish the foundation when all the pieces were deemed to be in place. The details have been set down on a number of occasions and will not be repeated here. 1 Suffice to say that Aberystwyth was not a well thought out location for the College, and indeed would have had few supporters in a referendum. It was rather the coming of the railway, the erection of hotels en route, the economic downturn of the 1860s and the bankruptcy of the speculator Thomas Savin which led to the unfinished Castle Hotel in Aberystwyth being put up for sale. The building was purchased and after a few hesitations the University College of Wales (UCW) opened its doors to a handful of students in October 1872.
