Multilingual gendered identities: female undergraduate students in London talk about heritage languages
Full text linkIn this paper I explore how a group of female university students, mostly British Asian and in their late teens and early twenties, perform femininities in talk about heritage languages. I argue that analysis of this talk reveals ways in which the participants enact ‘culturally intelligible’ gendered subject positions. This frequently involves negotiating the norms of ‘heteronormativity’, constituting femininity in terms of marriage, motherhood and maintenance of heritage culture and language, and ‘girl power’, constituting femininity in terms of youth, sassiness, glamour and individualism. For these young women, I ask whether higher education can become a site in which they have the opportunities to explore these identifications and examine other ways of imagining the self and what their stories suggest about ‘doing being’ a young British Asian woman in London

Blended learning symposium: social media
No full textMy contribution to the symposium will outline and evaluate my recent pedagogical research into social media applications as educational interfaces. The aims of the project were: (1) to explore the use of social media platforms as alternative educational interfaces to the VLE; (2) to collate useful online resources in my subject area; and (3) to help students to recognise reliable online source materials. In the practical research carried out as part of this project I created online resources using social media platforms such as padlet and pinterest to support reconstruction work. These multimedia memo-boards functioned as digital repositories of significant critical and contextual digital materials on the choreographers and works being studied
Thomas Preece, shepherd, commoner and ex-collier
No full textThomas Preece began helping his father shepherd sheep on the Forest from when he was a small child. At the age of fourteen he had his own flock of sheep.

At one point he had extensive numbers of sheep grazing on Forest waste and maintained one of the largest flocks on the Forest.
