Lois Dodd
No full textThis book is the first monograph on the paintings of Lois Dodd. It provides invaluable analysis and contextualisation of her work alongside such New York City contemporaries as Alex Katz, Philip Pearlstein and other denizens of the Tenth Street milieu of the 1950s. Emerging from the shadow of Abstract Expressionism, Dodd and this circle cleaved to an observational painting based in the early modernist tradition. Beginning in the 1950s, Lois Dodd has steadfastly pursued her observational painting, remaining aloof from passing trends. She is widely admired as a 'painter's painter' whose landscapes and city scenes display subtle effects of place, light and weather within graphically distilled compositions. Dodd's works capture the intangible character of changing seasons or particular hours of day in locations throughout New York City, rural New Jersey and Maine, but the paintings betray no mark of era. They are curiously timeless.-

Making connections: problems, progress and priorities – a practitioner’s viewpoint
No full textIn this thesis, the reader is invited to ‘think with the story’ (Bochner, 1997) as the issues arising from a research project undertaken by a full-time classroom teacher are explored. The study began with the intention to help children make connections in their learning. Taking an action research approach, over a span of two and a half years, ways to help children link ideas were investigated, their responses observed and their views explored through techniques such as interviews, games and stimulated recall. As the study progressed, it developed a stronger focus on practitioner research, especially in relation to teacher research with children. Following a change of school, the research focused on working with a ‘pupil research group’ over a six-month period. The thesis addresses the learning of the teacher-researcher about the connections and challenges involved, including contextual issues, different methodological strategies, power relationships, different voices and viewpoints in research and the process of change. A narrative approach is used to tell much of the story, in the form of an informal dialogue between the author as a teacher and the author as a researcher. Thus, the common and conflicting demands and benefits of research and teaching in such a project are explored in dynamic fashion. Ultimately, a framework to support practitioner researchers, based on the problems and progress in the study, is presented with some priorities for the future

Introduction: Ethics and Integrity in Visual Research Methods
No full textThis chapter serves as an introduction to the key themes found within the volume Ethics and Integrity in Visual Research Methods, and provides a rationale for the volume’s focus on photography and film media. Drawing from other literature, the author discusses the significance of indexicality and visual language when working with photography and film in research contexts, and describes how these considerations set photography and film apart from other forms of visual data. The chapter concludes by outlining the format of the volume, which divides the nine chapters into three key areas of exploration: Voice and Agency, Power and Inequality, and Context and Representation

Banking Regulation: An Analysis of Dodd-Frank
No full textabstract: Dodd-Frank should be celebrated for its success in stabilizing the financial sector following the last financial crisis. Some of its measures have not only contained financial disaster but contributed to economic growth. These elements of Dodd-Frank have been identified as "clear wins" and include the increase of financial institutions' capital requirements, the single-point-of-entry approach to regulating financial firms, and the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). The single-point-of-entry strategy (SPOE), specifically, has done much to bring an end to the age of "too big to fail" institutions. By identifying firms that could expect to be aided in case of financial crisis, the SPOE approach reduces uncertainty among financial institutions. Moreover, SPOE eliminates the significant source of risk by establishing clear protocols for resolving failed financial firms. Dodd-Frank has also taken measures to better protect consumers with the creation of the CFPB. Some of the CFPB's stabilizing actions have included the removal of deceptive financial products, setting guidelines for qualified mortgages, and other regulatory safeguards on money transfers. Despite the CFPB's many triumphs, however, there is room for improvement, especially in the agency's ability to reduce regulatory redundancies in supervision and collaboration with other financial sector controllers. The significant strengths of Dodd-Frank are evident in its elements that have secured financial stability. However, it is important to also consider any potential to stifle healthy economic growth. There are several areas for legislative amendments and reforms in order to improve the performance of Dodd-Frank given its sweeping regulatory impact. Several governing redundancies now exist with the creation of new regulatory authorities. Special efforts to increase the authority of the Financial Sector Oversight Council (FSOC) and preserving the impartiality of the Office of Financial Research (OFR) are specific examples of reforms still needed to elevate the effectiveness of Dodd-Frank. In addition, Dodd-Frank could do more to clarify the Volcker Rule in order to ease banks' burden to comply with excessive oversight. Going forward, policymakers must be willing to adjust parts of Dodd-Frank that encroach too far on the private sector's ability to foster efficiency or development. In addition, identifying and monitoring areas of the legislation deemed "too soon to tell" will provide insight on the accuracy and benefit of some Dodd-Frank measures
Destructive Collectivism: Dodd-Frank Coordination and Clearinghouses
No full textThe recent financial crises have generated strenuous academic debates on the fundamental premises of market regulation. The interaction between the state and the market is at the core of this discourse. A plethora of postcrisis reforms threaten to undermine the historical monopoly of centralized regulators through more coordinated, “collectivist” approaches to capital market regulation. The dangers of this new collectivism are not fully explored in the current scholarship.
This Article questions the Dodd-Frank coordination mechanisms by demonstrating that crucial benefits may result from the predictability of a linear market-regulator interaction in a cooperative environment. An example of such a successful multiparty interaction is the traditional sector-specific regulatory regime in the clearing and settlement industry.
In clearing, the linear interaction between centralized regulators, such as the SEC, and clearinghouses was associated with market efficiencies, lower regulatory costs, and transaction cost reduction. The relationship was premised on several fundamental postulates, including principles-based regulations, a low frequency of enforcement actions, participatory corporate governance mechanisms that strengthened market self-regulation, a contestable monopoly organization of the industry, and the continuous judicial support of clearing and settlement utilities. To examine these postulates, this Article reviews the history of clearing regulations and forty years of pertinent case law and enforcement actions.
This Article suggests that Dodd-Frank has put forth a questionable approach to reforming — at the very least — successful industries, such as clearing, which were not directly implicated in the crisis. In clearing, Dodd-Frank coordination mechanisms should be invoked rarely, and only in cases where specific inefficiencies in the traditional sector-specific model explicitly undermine its benefits, including regulatory flexibility and cooperation between expert regulators and regulated industries.Peer reviewe
