Faye Toogood: Drawing, Material, Sculpture, Landscape
No full textThe first in-depth look at the work of the globally celebrated and multidisciplinary London-based designer Faye Toogood - this book covers all aspects of her work, from clothes and furniture, to installations and interior design
Faye Toogood is unlike any other designer. Her impressive creative output encompasses not only furniture, but sculpture, fashion, interiors, and homeware.
This book is the first to explore Toogood's unique approach to design across disciplines through the studio's guiding principles: drawing, material, sculpture, and landscape.
In doing so it not only reveals the fascinating creative process behind Toogood's beautiful designs, but also illustrates the interconnectedness of her design across a range of practices together with the poetry that flows throughout her work.
The book also features her collaborations with (and commissions by) such brands as Birkenstock, Carhartt WIP, Comme des Garçons, Dover Street Market, Hermès, Mulberry and National Gallery of Victoria

OPAL Community Environment Report
No full textThe Open Air Laboratories network, or OPAL, as it quickly became known, was launched in 2007 following a successful application to the Big Lottery Fund
It was the first time that Big Lottery funding on this scale had been awarded to academic institutions. The University of Central Lancashire led by Dr Mark Toogood was responsible for understanding public engagement with OPAL.
The Open Air Laboratories (OPAL)network is a nationwide partnership comprising of ten universities and five organisations with grants awarded totalling £14.4 million.
• Over half a million people have participated in the OPAL programme. OPAL activities are carried out by people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities, including 10,000 people in ‘hard to reach’ communities.
• OPAL opens people’s eyes to the natural world. Nearly half (44%) of OPAL survey participants said that this was the first time that they had carried out a nature survey. 90% of participants have learnt something new.
• OPAL has the ability to change people’s behaviour. Almost half (43%) of respondents said OPAL had changed the way they thought about the environment and more than a third (37%) said they will change their behaviour towards it.
• In addition to raising environmental awareness, OPAL also improves personal well-being by motivating people to spend time outdoors doing something positive, while connecting with people and nature

Reflections on Effective Employee Development from New Entrants to the UK Agriculture and Agri-food Sector
No full textIn the context of workforce challenges in UK agriculture and agri-food, workplace employee development could be a critical tool for developing human capital that supports individual and organisational success. This research aimed to enhance understanding of how those entering UK agricultural and agri-food employment from non-agricultural backgrounds perceived the employee development that they experienced in their first role in the sector. A mixed methods approach incorporating a survey and semi-structured interviews was used followed by statistical and thematic evaluation. The research found that informal employee development was highly valued for professional development but formal development was perceived to have more impact on performance in role. Participants praised mentoring and opportunities for informal communication, while development processes such as induction and performance review were perceived less positively. Overall, this research shows that supporting managers to develop their own skillset and knowledge on employee development, will help to create workplace environments where new entrants from non-agricultural backgrounds can be individually supported to learn, engage and develop. The article concludes with recommendations focused on mentoring schemes, informal employee development, and guidance for sector managers, which could support employee development in the UK agriculture and agri-food sector

Bamboo Scaffolding and Rigging: Approaches to support language learner autonomy
No full textAlmost twenty years have passed since self-access centres (SACs) became commonplace
in universities and, in response, language educators have devised a variety of
approaches that attempt to activate in learners the capacity for autonomous language
learning (ALL). However, such experimentation has often resulted in less than successful
pedagogical results, often because of a lack of understanding of the principles underlying
the support and development of learner autonomy, or because of constraints imposed by
institutions, or a combination of the two. In this presentation we present two
complementary approaches which aim at providing opportunities for university students
to develop their capacity for autonomous language learning. Both approaches are
situated in the context of open-access: one is group-oriented and collaborative, and the
other is for individual learners. To illustrate and clarify the ALL principles that underpin
both approaches, we use two metaphors: Bamboo Scaffolding (Toogood and Pemberton
2006) and Rigging (derived from a yachting metaphor). Through presenting pedagogical
examples, we hope to provide a clear and principled framework which can be applied to
the support and development of ALL in other educational environments.
