Algorithms - Artist's Work: Michelle Stephens
No full textMichelle Stephens is a textile artist and lecturer from Moira, Northern Ireland, UK who has a wide range of qualifications including a BA First-Class Honours degree, a Master’s degree and a practice-based PhD. Currently, Michelle is also a member of the internationally recognized 62 Group of textile artists. For her project Coded Cloth, Michelle collaborated with The Silk Museum and Paradise Mill, Macclesfield, Cheshire, to utilize archival pattern books from their collection. They provide source material for her to creatively explore and interpret pattern designs for digital-led Jacquard weaving through generative design and programming methods. Michelle takes these original archive patterns and reanimates them using computer algorithms. The algorithms introduce a glitch that alters the original design while keeping it identifiable, then the newly configured design is recreated in weave to bring the process full circle. This project fuses the traditional techniques of Jacquard weaving with the contemporary skill of computer programming

Millennials defying gender disparity at Amey: An investigation into Amey’s graduate gender and their leadership potential
No full textOrganisations are increasingly recognising the importance of diversity for their success, however the existing labour market creates both gender segregation, through the gender stereotyping of roles, as well as generational segregation with most leadership positions being engaged by male Baby Boomers. This is creating barriers for both women and Millennials for reaching leadership positions. There is now a call for organisations to change the way they find, develop and inspire their future leaders due to the forecasted talent crisis. Organisations need to realise the challenge they currently face with only 29% of Millennials wanting a spot at the top and of this only 6% of women would consider a leadership role (Williams, 2015; Sandberg, 2013, cited in Leberman and Shaw, 2015).
Whilst there is an abundance of literature on women in leadership and the perceived barriers, few have done so with considering the perspectives of graduates and specifically the Millennial generation. This research aims to extend current literature through investigating the relationship between Amey’s graduate gender and their leadership potential. Data was collected from 233 Amey Millennial graduates who responded to a web-based survey focusing on three separate constructs that influence an individual’s leadership potential within an organisation, as well as focusing on the perceived barriers for women attaining leadership positions within Amey.
The results demonstrated a divergence from gender stereotypes for Amey’s Millennial graduates where each of the three constructs of leadership potential demonstrated no statistically significant difference by gender. These findings suggest that Millennials may defy existing gendered leadership roles. Moreover, the research identifies that Amey should give further attention to the low number of women which could be creating isolation, lack of camaraderie and mentoring opportunities. The implications of the results are discussed, and several practical and theoretical recommendations are provided
