A recognition theorem for polynomial growth outer automorphisms of the free group
No full textFeighn and Handel’s recognition theorem for Out(F_n) provides invariants that canonically determine any forward rotationless outer automorphism of the free group. We ask to what extent those invariants can be extended to outer automorphisms with some periodic behavior. Many of the same constructions do not have natural analogs, in particular because of the possible lack of principal representatives in this setting. However, by restricting our attention to polynomial growth outer automorphisms and using train track technology, we are able to find a special set of lines in the free group that encode all the dynamical information of these non-forward rotationless maps.Ph.

Seebohm Rowntree and the British interwar management movement
No full textThe literature on interwar British industrial management has been severely critical. British firms have been generally presented as overly conservative, comprising a small core of progressive firms amongst conservatively-run, family-dominated businesses. According to this critique, British firms displayed little interest in new managerial approaches, unlike US firms of the period. The authors’ research into the Rowntree lectures and the British interwar management movement challenges this view. They argue that there was a nucleus of progressive British firms engaged in management learning through organized peer-to-peer communication, facilitated by lectures and management research groups initiated by Seebohm Rowntree; fostering communities of practice designed to share management knowledge and experience. British managers displayed greater openness to innovation and a willingness to confront shared problems than is commonly recognized. The authors offer a provisional reinterpretation of British management practice that repositions business education relative to extant historiography; thereby contributing to a better-informed understanding of the evolution of British management learning in the interwar years.<br/
Fatty Foods & Woollen Goods: Selling Scottish Heritage
No full textA presentation/performance at an event in Tobermory, on Mull as part of Rachel Maclean's exhibition, 'The Weepers', at An Tobar/Comar. I discuss my long history of work interrogating this paradigm and performed a series of Scottish songs, selected from the last 300 years.
"From Tartan and tweed to sheep souvenirs and see-you-Jimmy hats, a panel of speakers will explore historic and contemporary efforts to package and present Scottish Heritage. What effect has this had on the people of Scotland and their national identity? How do we differentiate an 'authentic' Scottish experience from an 'inauthentic' one? And from National politics to local tourist industry - from our arts and culture - what is at stake in selling Scottish heritage?"
An evening event that takes as its starting point the new film by Rachel Maclean, The Weepers, commissioned by Comar. Exhibited at An Tobar, Maclean's film draws from tropes of Gothic Horror fiction, medieval settings, ancestral curses, supernaturalism, dream visions, and descension into madness. Yet it also plays to a prevailing romanticism of the Scottish Highlands and the much caricaturised Hebridean figure - red haired and drenched in tartan; hospitable to the last; pragmatic, comic, yet bound up in deep-rooted superstition
