Connecting Research with Communities through Performative Social Science
No full textA pioneer in Performative Social Science, Kip Jones makes a case for the potential of arts-based social science to reach audiences and engage communities. Jones contextualises both the use of the arts in Social Science, as well as the utility of Social Science in the Arts and Humanities. The discussion turns next to examples from his own work and what happens when Art talks to Social Science and Social Science responds to Art. The benefits of such interaction and interdisciplinarity are outlined in relation to a recently completed project using multi-methods, which resulted in the production of a professional short film. In conclusion, Performative Social Science is redefined in terms of synthesis that can break down old boundaries, open up channels of communication and empower communities through engagement
David Martyn Lloyd-Jones 1899-1981 and twentieth-century evangelicalism.
No full textThe purpose of this thesis was to demonstrate the significance of the life and ministry of David Martyn Lloyd-Jones in post-war British evangelicalism and to show that, so far as Protestant churches in England and Wales were concerned, no history of the period can afford to ignore him. It is our contention that despite differences of opinion and self- marginalization Lloyd-Jones was and has remained a major force in evangelical thinking. In order to understand how this developed the thesis has been structured along thematic lines highlighting events, persons and questions. The study begins by setting the stage with a biographical chapter and goes on to examine the kind of impact that Lloyd-Jones's preaching had on Christians of all denominations. He believed preaching to be the greatest need of the day and the position of this thesis is that preaching was Lloyd-Jones's greatest contribution to twentieth- century Christianity. As a preacher he attracted one of London's largest congregations and in chapter three we look at the history and nature of Westminster Chapel comparing it with neighbouring ministries, and establishing the kind of people who went to hear him. Chapters four and five ascertain the factors which shaped Lloyd-Jones's views on the church and show how his Reformed evangelicalism led in a separatist as opposed to an ecumenical direction and finally, to a position which was neither Congregational nor Presbyterian. Our further argument is that while he favoured unity among believers his separatist ecclesiology only exacerbated the situation and left evangelicals more divided than before. Chapters six to eight evaluate Lloyd-Jones's background, the nature of his leadership and the extent of his influence - factors which either shaped or were the outcome of his ministry - and looks at the issues which these questions raise
The shaping of student knowledge: learning with dynamic geometry software
No full textThe focus of this paper is a software genre usually referred to as ‘dynamic geometry’ because of the ability of the user to dynamically manipulate geometrical figures created with the software tool. Using data from a longitudinal study of 12-13 students’ use of dynamic geometry software, the focus of the analysis is on the interpretations the students make of geometrical objects and relationships when using this form of software. The analysis suggests that the students’ mathematical reasoning is shaped by their interactions with the software in that their ability to explain geometrical facts and relationships evolves from imprecise, ‘everyday’ expressions, through reasoning that is overtly mediated by the software environment, to mathematical explanations of the geometric situation that transcend the particular tool being used. Such findings suggest that curriculum initiatives that encourage the use of dynamic geometry software are appropriate but that the incorporation of such software into classroom practices is unlikely to be straightforward

Tidal deformations of neutron stars: the role of stratification and elasticity
No full textWe discuss the response of neutron stars to the tidal interaction in a compact binary system, as encoded in the Love number associated with the induced deformation. This problem is of interest for gravitational-wave astronomy as there may be a detectable imprint on the signal from the late stages of binary coalescence. Previous work has focused on simple barotropic neutron star models, providing an understanding of the role of the stellar compactness and overall density profile. We add realism to the discussion by developing the framework required to model stars with varying composition and an elastic crust. These effects are not expected to be significant for the next generation of detectors, but it is nevertheless useful to be able to quantify them. Our results show that (perhaps surprisingly) internal stratification has no impact whatsoever on the Love number. We also show that crust elasticity provides a (predictably) small correction to existing models.<br/
Lloyd-Jones and the Interwar Calvinist Resurgence
No full textExtract of first 800 words of chapter: ‘Calvinism in England', declared Charles Breed in 1932, ‘appears to the casual observer to be declining.'[1] Breed, the pastor of Rehoboth Strict Baptist Chapel, Manor Park, was reporting to an international conference on the Reformed faith in London that was gathering information on the present position of Calvinism in the various countries of the world. He went on to paint a picture of steady decline in England since the Reformation, with Anglicans and Nonconformists sharing equally in the decay. But it is noteworthy that he qualified his depiction of a downgrade in his own day with the words ‘to the casual observer'. He believed that, in the providence of God, there was hope of a resurgence of Calvinism. Historians have commonly supposed, like Breed's casual observer, that Reformed teaching was evaporating in interwar Britain. In Evangelicalism in Modern Britain (1989), for example, there is a comment that the first Puritan conference organised under Martyn Lloyd-Jones in 1950 was ‘the beginning of a revival of interest in the Reformed theological tradition'.[2] Lloyd-Jones's ministry, The Banner of Truth magazine and its associated publishing house, the Evangelical Movement of Wales and the Crieff Brotherhood in Scotland follow in that book as symptoms of a recovery of Calvinism, but all arose in the postwar years. The interwar period is tacitly held to have been a time when Reformed beliefs languished. It is generally accepted that there was a Calvin revival on the continent in the 1930s, loosely associated with the rise of Neo-Orthodoxy but spearheaded by the Calvinist Society of France, founded by Auguste Lecerf in 1927.[3] What this chapter will show is that something similar was happening at the same juncture in Britain. The international conference of 1932 in which Breed participated was one of the leading symptoms of the phenomenon. There are grounds for seeing the interwar period as a time of Calvinist resurgence in Britain. There is nevertheless a great deal of evidence in the years between the First and Second World Wars that Calvinism was unprecedentedly weak in Britain. The leaders of opinion were strikingly hostile. Thus in the last year of the First World War Maurice Bowra, later the celebrated Warden of Wadham College, Oxford, but then only nineteen, found himself in command of an artillery battery on a hill above the French town of Noyon. He received an order to flush out a party of Germans who were using the cathedral as an observation point, but Bowra was loathe to open fire on a historic building. ‘Then', he recounts in his autobiography, ‘I remembered that Noyon was the original home of John Calvin, and my qualms vanished. I felt that nothing could be too bad, even after some four centuries, for this enemy of the human race, and I set to work with care. I fired a plus and minus, and my third shot fell neatly into the middle of the church.'[4] It may well be that Bowra was also responsible on this occasion for the destruction of the birthplace of John Calvin, which had to be reconstructed in the aftermath of the war.[5] In Scotland, where the sense of indebtedness to the Reformed faith was bound up with national identity, there was less corporate aversion to Calvinism. At the quatercentenary of the Reformer's birth in 1909, for example, there had been a celebration in St Giles' Cathedral, Edinburgh, attended by the Lord Provost and the councillors in their civic robes.[6] Nevertheless even in Scotland there was a shifting of attitudes between the wars. The ‘Scottish literary Renaissance' led by Hugh MacDiarmid deplored what it saw as the restrictions on creativity forged by the cultural legacy of the Reformation. In 1933, for example, Eric Linklater, a prominent member of the group surrounding MacDiarmid, delivered a radio broadcast announcing that Scotland was ‘still crippled by Calvinism'.[7] The teaching of Calvin was out of favour with those who set the tone of public debate.

The early life of millisecond magnetars
No full textSome neutron stars may be born spinning fast and with strong magnetic fields - the so-called millisecond magnetars. It is important to understand how a star's magnetic axis moves with respect to the spin axis in the star's early life, as this effects both electromagnetic and gravitational wave emission. Previous studies have highlighted the importance of viscous dissipation within the star in this process. We advance this program by additionally considering the effect of the electromagnetic torque. We find an interesting interplay between the viscous dissipation, which makes the magnetic axis orthogonalise with respect to the spin, verses magnetic torques that tend to make the magnetic axis align with the spin axis. We present some results, and highlight areas where our model needs to be made more realistic.</p
