The Book of Hours: a collaborative online poetry film project between a spoken word poet and poetry film-makers
No full textOne discipline, many methods: disciplinary futures for religion and worldviews (RE)
No full textSince the publication of the CoRE report in 2018, there has been much discussion of the concept
of ‘disciplinary knowledge’ and of which academic disciplines underpin the school subject
RE/RS/RWV (e.g. Kueh, 2020; Georgiou and Wright, 2020; Wintersgill 2019; Freathy el al 2019).
Against most of these contributions, I argue for the simple answer that the obvious academic
discipline is one – Study of Religions, or to reflect both the contested nature of the category
‘religion’ and the increasing attention paid to ‘non-religion’, Study of Religion and Worldviews. I
argue that this is a discipline in its own right, however (to use Smart’s term), it is polymethodic,
drawing upon, but not exhausted by, many other academic disciplines. 21st century RE/Religion
and Worldviews in the UK needs to build upon CoRE, the Worldviews Project and the Big Ideas
project to construct a vibrant and memorable curriculum which is both academically rigorous
and personally inspiring, providing students with the knowledge and skills they need not only for
the few who choose SR at university, but transferable to the many situations in which they will
find themselves in in later life, both professional and personal

No full textBetween the blabbering noise of individuals or the silent dialogue of many: a collective response to ‵Postdigital Science and Education′ (Jandrić et al. 2018)
No full textThis article is a multi-authored response to an editorial ‵Postdigital Science and Education′ published in 2018 by Petar Jandrić, Jeremy Knox, Tina Besley, Thomas Ryberg, Juha Suoranta and Sarah Hayes in Educational Philosophy and Theory as a mission statement for the journal Postdigital Science and Education. Nineteen authors were invited to produce their sections, followed by two author-reviewers who examined the article as a whole. Authors’ responses signal the sense of urgency for developing the concept of the postdigital and caution about attempts at simplifying complex relationships between human beings and technology. Whilst the digital indeed seems to become invisible, we simultaneously need to beware of its apparent absence and to avoid overemphasizing its effects. In this attempt, authors offer a wide range of signposts for future research such as ‘the critical postdigital’ and ‘postdigital reflexivity’; they also warn about the group’s own shortcomings such as the lack of ‘real’ sense of collectivity. They emphasize that postdigital education must remain a common good, discuss its various negative aspects such as smartphone addiction and nomophobia, and exhibit some positive examples of postdigital educational praxis. They discuss various aspects of postdigital identities and point towards the need for a postdigital identity theory. With these varied and nuanced responses, the article opens a wide spectrum of opportunity for the development of postdigital approaches to science and education for the future
Article 17 of the CDSM Directive and the fundamental rights: shaping the future of the internet
No full textArticle 17 of the Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market (CDSM Directive) contains filter obligations to prevent future copyright infringements for online content-sharing service providers (OCSSPs). According to the Article, user-generated content must be reviewed by OCSSPs before it can be uploaded and made available to the public to meet the requirement of ‘making best efforts’ set by the Article.
However, with the new copyright Directive, the exception of the liability provided by the safe harbours of the E-Commerce Directive shall no longer apply to the OCSSPs. Combining the inevitability of upload filters with the preventive obligations introduced by this Article, there will likely be strict protection of copyright by the providers by using the ‘upload filters’. Hence, there is a crucial necessity for safeguards against the possible effects of the Article’s obligations on fundamental rights.
This paper discusses the incompatibilities and shortcomings of Article 17 and the adverse outcomes of the implementation of automated content recognition systems on fundamental rights with a focus on freedom of expression. Most importantly, this paper will suggest procedural safeguards to ensure that the upload filters can be implemented in a way, which is compatible with the fundamental rights to fill the gap in the literature
Ancient DNA, lipid biomarkers and palaeoecological evidence reveals construction and life on early medieval lake settlements
Get PDFDirect evidence of ancient human occupation is typically established through archaeological excavation. Excavations are costly and destructive, and practically impossible in some lake and wetland environments. We present here an alternative approach, providing direct evidence from lake sediments using DNA metabarcoding, steroid lipid biomarkers (bile acids) and from traditional environmental analyses. Applied to an early Medieval Celtic settlement in Ireland (a crannog) this approach provides a site chronology and direct evidence of human occupation, crops, animal farming and on-site slaughtering. This is the first independently-dated, continuous molecular archive of human activity from an archeological site, demonstrating a link between animal husbandry, food resources, island use. These sites are under threat but are impossible to preserve in-situ so this approach can be used, with or without excavation, to produce a robust and full site chronology and provide direct evidence of occupation, the use of plants and animals, and activities such as butchery
