Book Review: Andrew R. Murphy, William Penn, A Life (New York: Oxford Universit Press, 2019)
No full textWilliam Penn (1644-1718) needs little introduction among Quakers. After his convincement in the mid-1660s Penn quickly rose through the Quaker ranks as a prolific author, capable debater, and a staunch advocate for religious freedom. Beginning in 1681, he became a colonizer and traveled widely to recruit emigrants to his colony. While Penn is often touted among Friends, and sometimes reviled for his slave-owning and colonialism, Andrew R. Murphy does a great service in producing a comprehensive biography of Penn that is free from both the ahistorical anxieties and accolades Quakers sometimes resort to when considering this controversial figure. Indeed, Murphy’s book, William Penn, A Life, shows how controversial Penn was among the Quakers of his own day and in British society in general

« Pauvres enfants d’Ève en exil » : Tom Murphy et la syntaxe de l’histoire
No full textDans les pièces Bailegangaire (1985) et A Thief of a Christmas (1985), Tom Murphy aborde des questions liées à la représentation des Irlandaises d’origine rurale, opprimées par un système social hiérarchique d’abord sous le gouvernement colonial britannique et, ensuite, sous le gouvernement postcolonial nationaliste, catholique et bourgeois. Paul Murphy soutient que Tom Murphy crée dans ses pièces des lieux où les discours réprimés peuvent s’exprimer et contredire l’histoire dite « officielle » qui émane d’un discours nationaliste catholique bourgeois. Ce chercheur dépasse la vision prédominante du théâtre irlandais centrée sur la question identitaire pour aborder plutôt des questions éthiques liées à la subordination des classes. Il participe ainsi au débat contemporain historiographique en Irlande autour du rapport antagoniste qui oppose le nationalisme et le révisionnisme.In the plays Bailegangaire (1985) and A Thief of a Christmas (1985), Tom Murphy explores questions linked to the representation of working-class rural women who were subject to class and gender hierarchies during the British colonial administration of Ireland, as they were under the postcolonial Catholic bourgeois nationalist government. Paul Murphy defends the point of view that Tom Murphy creates forums in which repressed discourses may contradict official hegemonic catholic nationalist and bourgeois readings. The author of this article moves beyond a reading of Irish theatre grounded in identitarian paradigms of nation and nationalism, and engages with ethical issues of class and gender subordination. He thus participates in a contemporary debate specific to Irish historiography surrounding the antagonistic relationship that opposes nationalism and revisionism
Collaboration and interconnectivity: Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Services and higher education institutions in Nottingham
No full textThis paper will describe the developing relationship between Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Services and the two Higher Education Institutions in Nottingham. It will chronicle how a very traditional relationship has been transformed, initially by a simple consultancy project, into a much closer working relationship characterised by a much richer variety of collaborative projects. It demonstrates the potential mutual benefits that greater trust and reciprocity between the institutions can bring to both academia and to practice and the impact it has already had on curriculum development, teaching and learning in Nottingham
Student accounts of the Ontario Secondary School literacy Test: a case for validation
No full textThe Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT) is a cross-curricular literacy test issued to all secondary school students in the province of Ontario. The test consists of a reading and a writing component, both of which must be successfully completed for secondary school graduation in Ontario. This study elicited 16 first language and second language student accounts of their OSSLT test-taking processes immediately after the March 2006 test administration. The analysis of these students’ accounts provided valuable information about the validity of the inferences drawn from the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test. These accounts suggest the complexity of the processes that the students engaged as they attempted to demonstrate their reading and writing skills on the test. The study has implications for test developers and test users regarding the interpretation of student test performance on the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test
