Hamilton, Catherine Jane [pseud. Retlaw Spring] (1841–1935), author and journalist
No full textHamilton, Catherine Jane [pseud. Retlaw Spring] (1841-1935), author and journalist, was born on 25 January 1841 at Kilmersdon, Somerset, where she was baptized on 12 April 1841, the younger of two daughters of Richard Hamilton (1805?-1859), vicar of Kilmersdon, and his wife Charlotte, née Cooper (1809-1882), the fifth daughter of William Cooper, of Queens County, Ireland. She was of Irish heritage on both sides. Her father belonged to a military family with roots in Strabane (county Tyrone) - his father, John Hamilton, and her father’s four older brothers were all officers in the Fifth Foot – and was a graduate of Trinity College Dublin. He had been a bright scholar with an aptitude for languages, and as a preacher was praised for his powerful sermons and his ability to bring the Bible to life for his parishioners
Trying to catch the fog: can ‘active research’ contribute to enhancing a sports development partnership?
No full textPartnerships are ubiquitous in the practice of contemporary sports development and, as a result, have increasingly become a focus for research in a variety of countries (e.g. Alexander, Thilbault, & Frisby, 2008; Babiak & Thilbault, 2008; Lindsey, 2009). To date, this research has tended to focus on explaining the prominence and formation of partnerships as well as describing the form and nature of partnerships that exist. Recognising these themes in the existing research on the wider practice of network governance, Søresnsen & Torfing (2008, p10) recognise the need for a ‘renewal and enlargement’ of the research agenda. Similarly, there is a need to move beyond the initial descriptive focus of research on sports development partnerships to begin to consider issues, such as the reasons for the success of failure of partnerships, which may be more enlightening for academics and practitioners alike. Moreover, research on sports development partnerships would also benefit from encompassing more diverse methodological approaches that would augment the qualitative, retrospective interviews that have been used in the majority of studies thus far. To these ends, this study examines a formally constituted sports development partnership operating across a local authority area in Southern England. Three research questions underpin the study:• What internal structures and processes enhance or constrain the sports development partnership?• What external factors enhance or constrain the sports development?• What contribution can research examining these questions make to the effectiveness of the sports development partnership? Adopting a ‘decentered’ approach advocated by Bevir & Richards (2009), the study utilises ethnographic methods to focus on the beliefs, interpretations and actions of partnership members. Interviews with partnership members, observations of partnership meetings and facilitated group discussions are being undertaken over an extended period of time. In line with the third research question, and recommendations by Huxham & Vangen (2005) and McKay & Romm (2008), an ‘active research’ approach underpins the design of all of the research methods. In this way, it is hoped that conducting and disseminating the research contributes to the improvement of the sports development partnership though encouraging both individual and collective reflection. As the study nears its conclusion, contributions by both the chairperson of the sports development partnership and the researcher will consider the extent to which the research has met its objectives. The chairperson will examine the contribution of the research process to encouraging reflection within the sports development partnership on group dynamics, representation, individual contributions and other influences on the overall character and strategic direction of the partnership. From the researchers’ perspective, comments will be made as to whether the research approach has been effective in developing new understandings of sports development partnerships. Moreover, other issues pertinent to conducting ethnographic, active research on sports development partnerships will be identified

The built environment, Hamilton City Council policies and child driveway safety: a balancing act
No full textDriveway run-overs continue to bring tragedy to New Zealand families at a higher rate than any other Western nation. Meanwhile, little progress appears to have been made in regard to the recommendations of previous research. This project investigates whether recommendations in regard to one key factor in driveway run-overs, the built environment, are reflected in current local body policies and regulations. The research evaluates Hamilton City Council policies affecting the renovation and/or erection of domestic residences with a view to determining whether they are consistent with existing knowledge and best practice initiatives designed to minimise accidental injuries to children on driveways.
The project compares the findings of a review of the existing literature on child safety best practice for the built environment and urban design of driveways, with a review of Hamilton City Council policies and guidelines relating to the built environment of residential properties and adjacent roads (the Operative District Plan, Ten Year Plan, Urban Growth Strategy, Vista, and more), along with relevant central government policy. These findings are triangulated with data from interviews with four expert informants – one child safety expert and three Hamilton City Council employees involved in planning, policy and transport – who provide insights into the translation of policies into practice
