It begins by tracing Kavan’s life and examining the mythologies around her radical self- reinvention (in adopting the name of her own fictional character), madness and drug addiction. It attempts to map a place for her previously neglected work in twentieth-century women’s writing and criticism. Close reading of Kavan’s fiction attends to her uses of narrative voice in representing a divided self. Given Kavan’s treatment by the Swiss existential psychiatrist Ludwig Binswanger, the thesis explores connections between her writing and the British anti-psychiatry movement, especially R D Laing. Focussing primarily on the Modernist and Postmodern aspects of Kavan’s work, it also notes Gothic and Romantic inflections in her writing, establishing thematic continuity with her early Helen Ferguson novels.

  • Knowing Wales
    Changing Wales: Social, Economic and Political Perspectives WISERD Summer Conference 28 & 29 June 2011 Sketty Hall, Swansea Abstracts Changing Wales: Social, Economic and Political Perspectives Keynote Speaker Professor Charlotte Williams OBE Professor Charlotte Williams OBE, Professor of Social Justice, Keele University “Rethinking the parameters of social research for a multicultural Wales” Post devolution Wales has witnessed a concerted effort to build and coordinate a strong research community with a view to responding to the need for best evidence to underpin policy planning and policy making. WISERD is but one manifestation of this, as is, the Clinical Research Collaboration Cymru (CRC) established in 2006 to provide an R&D infrastructure for health and social care. Drawing on the example of one infrastructural network within the CRC, this paper explores the issues associated with attempts to mainstream one specific area of equalities – namely race and ethnicity – into the research agenda for Wales. It considers the justification for rethinking the parameters of social research in this way, explores some of the issues and difficulties of embedding this agenda in policy relevant research in Wales and argues that all social research should consider whether, when and how ethnicity and minority ethnic population groups be considered in commissioning and in the development of research programmes and projects. In a political context in which issues of race and minority concerns are increasingly hard to publicly articulate, this paper questions the relationship between research and policy making, between government and the academy and points to the complexities of their relationships to wider publics, social and political movements.

Its primary aim is to encourage better understanding of historical and contemporary LGBT experience. Since modern terminology cannot easily be used to understand this aspect of the past, research into LGBT history can be difficult and time consuming, and researchers are often confronted with negative attitudes contained within the records, or with the absence of a historical record. Contained within this guide are case studies using exemplar material housed at Glamorgan Archives.
