The singin lass : a reflection on the life of the poet Marion Angus (1865-1946) in the form of an account of her life and work, and three extracts from 'Blackthorn', a novel
No full textPart 1 of this thesis comprises a biography which, for the first time, places Marion Angus within her historical, family and social context. A version of this was published as the introduction to my edited collection The Singin Lass: Selected Work of Marion Angus (Polygon, 2006).
Assumptions made about the poet's activities and attitudes derive from critical reading of archival material: her published 'diaries', letters and prose, as well as her poetry. The appraisal of her work places it within literary contexts. The development of her linguistic awareness of the Scots language is traced and the extent of her commitment to it noted.
I conclude that assessment of her work has frequently been affected by erroneous judgements about her lifestyle and that the poetry, which has greater depth than it sometimes is given credit for, illuminates her struggle rather than defines her character. Her strength and resilience, as well as her contribution to Scots literature, should be respected and admired.
Part II comprises three extracts from Blackthorn, a novel based on aspects of the life and work of Marion Angus. My starting point was the marked contrast between her earlier prose and her later poetry. This, I believe, reflects an actual family crisis which is central to my narrative. The extracts presented here (dated 1900, 1930 and 1945-46) present a credible alternative to inaccurate assumptions which were made about her life. I explore two actual significant relationships in her life: with a sister who becomes wholly dependent on her, and with a younger friend who looks after her in her final year. In the absence of any firm evidence of lovers, I speculate on other relationships
Checklist for depositing training materials into Zenodo
No full textWithin the FAIRsFAIR project we have developed practical guidance in the form of a checklist for depositing training materials in Zenodo, a multi-disciplinary open repository.
This checklist was originally published in: Kayumbi-Kabeya, Gabin, Newbold, Elizabeth, Whyte, Angus, Cepinskas, Linas, & Molloy, Laura. (2021). D6.3 Established Competence Centre for Variety of Communities (1.0 Draft). Zenodo. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4560474
We are republishing it and making it available as a standalone document to facilitate reuse.
This checklist has been adapted from “10 simple rules for making training materials FAIR” by Garcia L., Batut B., Burke M.L., et al. (2020). https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.100785
Whyte-Out: How the Creator of Groupthink Became Unseen by Management's History
No full textIrving Janis’ (1971) concept of ‘groupthink’, the idea that the desire for consensus overrides the realistic appraisals of alternatives and leads to poor decision making, is a staple of management and organizational behavior textbooks. Despite gaining little support in empirical studies, Janis’ eight symptoms of groupthink remains a popular framework taught to budding managers. What has been forgotten, however, is that nearly 20 years before Janis’ supposed invention, groupthink was created by William H Whyte, author of one of the 1950s’ most influential and popular books on management. We investigate how Whyte’s link to groupthink became invisible to management’s history, why this matters, and how recovering Whyte’s ideas can provide fresh, critical insights into people dynamics in contemporary organizations.
Edmund Burke, John Whyte and Themes in Canadian Constitutional Culture
No full textJohn Whyte, the author observes, is committed to the idea that there are moral foundations to Canada\u27s constitutional order and that these foundations are derived from liberal principles. This paper compares Whyte\u27s liberal and organicist constitutionalism to that of the eighteenth century British political thinker, Edmund Burke. Three themes are predominant in Whyte\u27s work: those of liberty and security, unity and diversity, and constitutional change. Drawing out these themes in both Whyte\u27s and Burke\u27s constitutional thought, the author argues that Whyte has a sound historical basis for deriving Canadian constitutional practices from liberal principles ordinarily associated with Burke. The author concludes by asking this question: if Canadian constitutionalism can be reduced to liberalism, what distinguishes Canada from the United States, and more critically, what will prevent Canada from being absorbed into a larger North American political unit
