Styling the Eighties: Simon Foxton
Curated by Shaun Cole, Associate Professor in Fashion and Matthew Coats, Senior Teaching Fellow in Fashion Design at WSA this is of two complementary exhibitions, launched to coincide with Black History Month. Focusing on the work of Ray Petri and Simon Foxton, stylists who made their name in the 80s creating groundbreaking fashion images that addressed issues around race, ethnicity, gender, class, sexuality and contemporary style. The exhibitions feature original magazines, predominantly from the library collections at Winchester School of Art Library, with photo shoots by Petri and Foxton plus academic texts which address and investigate the work of both stylists

I was a good classroom teacher, why do I feel so lost now? Examining a doctoral student’s transition with becoming a teacher educator during and post pandemic
Employing self-study methodology this work examines not only the transition from classroom teacher to teacher educator but also the increased complexity of this experience while teaching online during the pandemic, and the transition back to some sense of normalcy with teaching in person. Data sources include Author One’s reflective journal, recordings of meetings with critical friends providing feedback throughout the process, and student artifacts from different activities applied from year 1 to year 2. From our coding of the journal from year 1, several codes were identified about Author One’s identity as a teacher educator being tied to the types of interactions he fosters in his classroom. As he transitions to teaching in person in year 2 (Fall 2021) we look to see how he takes what he learned about fostering these interactions in an online environment and applies them to his in-person teaching. Techniques learned from his semester 2 experience of online teaching guide him in this process and critical friend meetings will focus on attending to the transitional moments in his identity as he makes yet another shift in developing who he is as a teacher educator
Representation of statistical sound properties in human auditory cortex
The work carried out in this doctoral thesis investigated the representation of
statistical sound properties in human auditory cortex. It addressed four key aspects in
auditory neuroscience: the representation of different analysis time windows in
auditory cortex; mechanisms for the analysis and segregation of auditory objects;
information-theoretic constraints on pitch sequence processing; and the analysis of
local and global pitch patterns. The majority of the studies employed a parametric
design in which the statistical properties of a single acoustic parameter were altered
along a continuum, while keeping other sound properties fixed.
The thesis is divided into four parts. Part I (Chapter 1) examines principles of
anatomical and functional organisation that constrain the problems addressed. Part II
(Chapter 2) introduces approaches to digital stimulus design, principles of functional
magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and the analysis of fMRI data. Part III (Chapters
3-6) reports five experimental studies. Study 1 controlled the spectrotemporal
correlation in complex acoustic spectra and showed that activity in auditory
association cortex increases as a function of spectrotemporal correlation. Study 2
demonstrated a functional hierarchy of the representation of auditory object
boundaries and object salience. Studies 3 and 4 investigated cortical mechanisms for
encoding entropy in pitch sequences and showed that the planum temporale acts as a
computational hub, requiring more computational resources for sequences with high
entropy than for those with high redundancy. Study 5 provided evidence for a
hierarchical organisation of local and global pitch pattern processing in neurologically
normal participants. Finally, Part IV (Chapter 7) concludes with a general discussion
of the results and future perspectives
Is sea-basing a viable method of providing logistic support to the UK amphibious force?
Maritime power has traditionally been a central part of the UK’s defence planning and is well
suited to supporting a wide range of military operations. The littoral area has always created
problems for naval planners as most landings historically have had to endure a tactical
separation of the naval and land components, and hence an artificial seam between the Navy
and the Marines. With the end of the Cold War, amphibious operations are going to be more
difficult to conduct than in the past, and amphibious forces are going to have to adopt
manoeuvre warfare capabilities in order to successfully complete their missions. It is very
likely that amphibious forces will have to conduct operations against a numerically superior
enemy, who is on his own terrain, and be surrounded by a neutral, if not hostile populace. As
such, the concept of Operational Manoeuvre From The Sea (OMFTS) whereby the sea is used
as a manoeuvre space, and command and control is fast enough to cope with large amounts of
information, but at the same time allow subordinates maximum flexibility to use their
initiative, is increasingly attractive. It will be important not only for the combat elements to be
able to use this new concept, but the Combat Service Support (CSS) elements as well
