Identity, language and belonging on Jersey: migration and the Channel Islands
No full textThis book examines transnational identities, integration and linguistic practices on Jersey, one of the Channel Islands. Within the context of major historical events and migratory flows, the author considers the significance of the multicultural small island space, ideologies regarding long-standing as well as emergent identification practices and language use, and conceptualizations of belonging, focusing in particular on the Madeiran Portuguese diaspora. The juxtaposition of historical and contemporary migratory flows opens up a compelling discussion concerning the maintenance and use of heritage languages in a multilingual environment, allowing a rare comparison of the symbolic role as ethnic identifiers of Jersey French, Standard French, English, and more contemporary migrant languages such as Portuguese. The author analyses the role of language in social integration and the potential for consequent shifts in group allegiances, as well as receptor community ideological and legislative responses, concluding with a hypothesised look at the future of migration to Jersey. This book advances research on migration, transnational lives and language use in an era of globalization, and will be of particular interest to students and scholars in the fields of sociolinguistics, multilingualism, migration studies, and intercultural communication
The road to Epidaurus is like the road to creation: Tapping the urban archive
No full textThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from the publisher via the DOI in this record.This paper brings together three short ‘provocations’ presented by Katie Beswick, Harriet Hawkins and Joseph Kohlmaier. Between them, these provocations investigate the idea of how the archive of the city can be ’tapped’ through a number of performative acts from a broad range of different perspectives, including the role of ‘archival art’; performance, practice and competition in the context of the city; the body as an archive; the foundation of the city as a performative act; street dance; stream of consciousness and the city in the psychological novel; and the role that documentary practices can play in regaining political territory
Beginning teachers’ mathematical knowledge: What is needed?
No full textOver the past decade there has been growing interest in describing and measuring the kinds of mathematical knowledge needed by teachers. Such efforts are in parallel with the development of national standards for teachers, indicating levels of expectation across the years of teachers’ careers. This presentation provides an opportunity for teacher educators and teachers to consider the nature of mathematical knowledge needed by beginning teachers at all levels of schooling. Discussion will be informed by data from an ALTC funded national project that aims to improve the quality of pre-service teachers’ outcomes in mathematics and by the AAMT Standards framework

Class, Race, and Marginality: Informal Street Performances in the City
No full textThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Oxford University Press via the DOI in this recordNote slight difference in title between accepted and published version. Title of author accepted manuscript is "Class/Race: Class, Race and Marginality: Informal Street Performances in the City"This chapter considers how class and race are navigated through informal performances by marginalized subjects in New York City and London. Taking litefeet dance and grime music as objects of analysis (both performance forms developed and pioneered by working-class men of color), it argues that we can think of informal and ostensibly frivolous practices as importantly political, structuring our understanding of cities and contributing to social and cultural change compelled by injustices in the political system of late capitalism. The chapter posits space as a means of understanding the politics of global cities and the connections between different geographical locations. Drawing on ethnographic and observation work undertaken by the author between 2014 and 2020, it uses hip-hop practices taking place in different contexts as a way of exploring how those who are relegated to the city’s edges find ways to survive and to push back against the dominant order. The argument here acknowledges the impossibility for marginalized performance forms to bring about total structural change but delineates ways that informal practices might nonetheless participate in a politics (understood as a struggle over power) and contribute to processes of change, which may not be inherently radical but are nonetheless resistant

Investigation of residual stress effects on apparent fracture toughness of high, medium and very low constraint geometries
No full textNon heat-treated welds in reactor pressure vessel structures are subjected to residual stress fields from welding, and the ferritic steels within the structures are susceptible to embrittlement from neutron irradiation, increasing the probability of cleavage fracture. This paper presents results from an on-going project to better understand and quantify the effects of constraint on cleavage fracture in such steels under various initial stress and strain conditions. The conditions investigated simulate non heat-treated welds in reactor pressure vessel structures. Previous work (Mahmoudi et al., 2008) has demonstrated that a residual stress field introduced through a double side punching method ahead of a crack serves to reduce the constraint parameter Q for high constraint geometries, but increase Q for low constraint geometries (Beswick, et al., 2015) (Hurlston et al., 2011). Such results, in conjunction with experimental failure data, have been used to postulate a failure curve in J-Q space (where J is the usual crack driving force), which could be used as a two-parameter fracture toughness in defect tolerance assessments. What was not previously considered was whether this failure curve extended into a region for very shallow cracks (i.e. very low Q) under similar initial conditions.This paper includes findings from experiments that consider such very low constraint geometries. Specifically, fracture toughness tests were carried out on three-point bend specimens with normalised crack depths of a/W=0.4, 0.2 and 0.05. Initially, experiments were performed to reproduce the previous tests on higher constraint geometries without residual stress (Hurlston et al., 2011) for control and validation purposes. Following this, tests were conducted with and without the introduction of a similar residual stress field on the very low constraint geometries. The test results are presented in J-Q space and the paper includes comments on the applicability of a two-parameter fracture toughness curve that could be used under these initial conditions, and highlights the points requiring further experimental and theoretical investigation.<br/
