Human data interaction, disadvantage and skills in the community: enabling cross-sector environments for postdigital inclusion
No full textThe book provides a dynamic, cross-sectional, multidisciplinary perspective and dialogue to illuminate the challenges humans face in their interactions with data in their individual postdigital contexts in local communities. It offers unique insights from real cases, collaborations, and projects to extend existing academic theories and frameworks, applied to human data interactions, disadvantage, and digital skills. The book takes the novel approach of establishing co-authorship between cross-sector practitioners from the wider community (such as local authorities, councils, policy makers, small businesses, charities, education and skills providers, and other stakeholders) with international academics and researchers who write about humans, digital skills, and data. This develops an enabling cross-sector environment throughout the book that not only furthers broader understandings concerning data, disadvantage and digital skills in postdigital society, but also shares a template to support others who may wish to adopt this approach to co-authorship and knowledge exchange
My revolution is working out
No full textWatch or move with three ‘performers’ – appearing as artists, students, activists – in a twenty-three minute event showing everyone how to demonstrate together. Following a projected slideshow of drawn-scores, and using fitness meter watches, the performers ‘trace’ their steps with coal while showing actions. Do it together: revolve, SHOUT – RESIST! – mark steps, trace time, erase, appear, disappear, revolve again
Homicide investigations and survivors of homicide
Get PDFThis chapter will explore the often forgotten survivors of homicide who are having to endure a criminal investigation, whilst managing the ‘traumatic grief’ that follows such a devastating event and what is often intense media coverage. We will explore how, despite having the same end goal as the survivor, those investigating homicide have many different priorities and approaches in trying to reach that goal. It will be shown that the actions of investigators have a direct role to play in influencing the grief processes of those closest to the victim. We will see that how they are notified about the homicide, how the victim’s lifestyle is examined and how, in England and Wales, the Family Liaison Officer works with the family all have a significant impact on the victim's grief and their perceptions of homicide investigators
Conceptualising headteachers’ leadership of technology in schools across the United Kingdom during early coronavirus disease 2019
Get PDFThe coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic brought seismic changes to schooling which few could have anticipated. Across the four countries of the UK, (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) urgent changes to the locus and focus of education were required. This paper conceptualises how headteachers led their schools in the use of digital technology as they adjusted to teaching and learning in the early stages of a UK wide school ‘lockdown’. The study uses data from extensive interviews with the headteachers of 12 schools across all phases of learning in schools in all four countries in the UK. The analysis uses elements of Cashman's et al.'s (2014) ‘leadership by convening’ lenses to conduct a threefold analysis of the transcripts: the direction of communications (internal/external); the timeframes (synchronous/asynchronous); and headteachers’ perceptions of how their digital technology helped them navigate challenges. These challenges are classified as: (a) technical – The solution required technology or technical expertise; (b) adaptive – The solution required a change in behaviour by at least one party in the communication process (internal or external); (c) organisational – solutions to these challenges contained both a technological and a behavioural component. A new model of leadership with technology is suggested
