Centre for Seldom Heard Voices evidence cited in House of Lords Committee report

BU research, Impact, parliament, Public engagement mhughes

Lee-Ann Fenge (Professor of social care) and Andy Pulman (PDR in social care) submitted evidence to the House of Lords Adult Social Care Committee earlier in the year. The report has just been published with some of their evidence mentioned on page 79 as follows:

‘Research undertaken by the Centre for Seldom Heard Voices at Bournemouth University with a range of diverse communities illustrates how co-produced participatory research can lead to wider social impact and awareness of those that rely on social care—for example, the experiences of LGBTQ+ citizens, older male carers, young disabled people and homeless people. It is vital that social care practice and research work in partnership with individuals and communities to achieve best outcomes for those who require social care support’.

Ukrainian refugees and their invisible luggage of displacement – publication by Dr Alina Dolea

BU research, humanities, Impact, Research Centres edolea

Dr. Alina Dolea, Associate Professor in Strategic Communication and Public Diplomacy in FMC, has published an article on emotions, trauma and public diplomacy in the academic forum on the #RussiaUkraineWar that she co-edits together with Nadia Kaneva (University of Denver) and Ilan Manor (PhD) (Ben Gurion University of the Negev) in Place Branding & Public Diplomacy

In the article, Alina argues all displaced people (refugees, migrants, or expatriates) experience a sense of loss and trauma and the Ukrainians crossing the border to take refuge across Europe carry with them this emotional luggage that shapes their identity and influences their integration in their new host places. Yet, the consequences of this invisible luggage have been rarely scrutinized in depth in public diplomacy and even in diaspora diplomacy scholarship. She draws on the psychoanalytical work of Vamik Volkan to shed some light on the psychology of Ukrainian refugees and the reactions of Romanians as host population.

Expanding from her research on Romanian diaspora (over 5 million) and the current Ukrainian refugees in Europe (over 8 million), Alina posits it is essential to understand the complex psychology, loss, emotions and trauma of displacement in diaspora diplomacy. It is necessary for theory building in order to develop analytical frameworks and research questions that link psychological processes with engagement and disengagement. In terms of practice, it can inform medium- and long-term policies of support and integration of refugees in host countries. Developing programs and encouraging grassroots initiatives aimed to increase multi-cultural awareness, communication and collaboration between newcomers and host populations is critical. Increased communication towards host publics is also needed in European countries especially because previous waves of migration and refugees have been instrumentalized in exclusionary, divisive political discourses that contribute to social anxieties, fears and phobias towards newcomers. Psychoanalytical approaches can shed light on the psychological processes that make illiberal, populist and extremist discourses effective as they instrumentalize chosen traumas and chosen glories.

This essay calls for integrating the study of emotions in public diplomacy and diaspora diplomacy research in order to (1) explore the breadth and depth of psychological processes that turn individual emotions into group emotions and (2) understand the potential of emotions to enable or disrupt engagement. Interdisciplinary research which engages with political psychology approaches that look at emotions, affect and trauma can provide new analytical insights into the inner worlds and lived experiences of the displaced, as well as into the emotions that shape representations, attitudes and behaviours of both newcomers and hosts. Such insights are much needed in designing policies aimed to support displaced groups and ease their integration and adaption in host countries. They can also contribute to more inclusive and positive public discourses about migrants and refugees.

The Academic Forum on the #RussiaUkraineWar captures a variety of epistemic reflections, creating a common space for scholars from diverse fields such as public diplomacy, strategic communications, global media studies, nation branding, international relations, post-Soviet studies, linguistics, and cultural studies. Together, we re-examined some of the concepts and practices that have shaped major debates in public diplomacy and identified new angles and approaches that can no longer be ignored in light of a world of many crises.

The latest issue of the journal Performing Ethos: An International Journal of Ethics in Theatre & Performance includes the paper ‘The birth of a lullaby and these COVID years’ by Jillian Ireland, who is BU Visiting Faculty. Jillian is Visiting Faculty in the Centre for Midwifery, Maternal & Perinatal Health (CMMPH) and Professional Midwifery Advocate in Poole Maternity Hospital, University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust (UHD).

Her new paper describes the birth (an appropriate verb to be used by a midwife) of a lullaby. This particular lullaby grew from a community-based maternity care intervention. This project was funded by the Burdett Fund for Nurses, supported by the Foundation of Nursing Studies, and co-created by local women and staff from maternity, health visiting and the Children’s Centre in the community. The beautiful illustrations in this paper are by two local artists: Alan Mercel-Sanca and Allison Churchill.

SETS research seminar – The imperial mode of living

BU research, Knowledge Exchange, Public engagement Roberta Discetti

In December’s Socio-Ecological Transition Seminar (SETS), Markus Wissen will present his recent book “The Imperial Mode of Living. Everyday Life and the Ecological Crisis of Capitalism”, co-authored with Ulrich Brand (2021).

Markus is a Professor of Social Sciences at the Berlin School of Economics and Law. His research focuses on Socio-ecological transformation of modes of production and consumption and on the crisis and transformation of society-nature relations.

Short abstract of the book

Our unsustainable life: why we can’t have everything we want

With the concept of the Imperial Mode of Living, Brand and Wissen highlight the fact that capitalism implies uneven development as well as a constant and accelerating universalisation of a Western mode of production and living. The logic of liberal markets since the nineteenth century, and especially since World War II, has been inscribed into everyday practices that are usually unconsciously reproduced. The authors show that they are a main driver of the ecological crisis and economic and political instability.

The Imperial Mode of Living implies that people’s everyday practices, including individual and societal orientations, as well as identities, rely heavily on the unlimited appropriation of resources; a disproportionate claim on global and local ecosystems and sinks; and cheap labour from elsewhere. This availability of commodities is largely organised through the world market, backed by military force and/or the asymmetric relations of forces as they have been inscribed in international institutions. Moreover, the Imperial Mode of Living implies asymmetrical social relations along class, gender and race within the respective countries. Here too, it is driven by the capitalist accumulation imperative, growth-oriented state policies and status consumption. The concrete production conditions of commodities are rendered invisible in the places where the commodities are consumed. The imperialist world order is normalised through the mode of production and living.

The discussion will be opened by two discussants:

Dennis Eversberg (University of Jena). Dennis does research in Political Sociology, the study of social-ecological movements, environmental politics, mentalities and social structure. He currently works on the mental preconditions and consequences of post-fossil transformations, the subjective limits to capitalist growth regimes, the degrowth movement and authoritarian nationalism.

Gustavo García López (Center for Social Studies of the University of Coimbra). Gustavo is an engaged researcher, educator, and apprentice organizer, from the islands of Puerto Rico. His work is situated broadly at the intersection of ecology and the political, but he also cultivates inevitable interests in postcolonial/decolonial, Caribbean, island, Puerto Rican and Latin American studies.

The session will be on Zoom, on December 14^th at 3 pm (UK time)

CIPPM Seminar: Monday 21st November 2022, 15.30-17.00, F107 – There’s something about music

BU research, Events, Featured, Featured academics, Postgraduate Research, Public engagement, Research Centres, Research news cippm

The Centre for Intellectual Property Policy & Management (CIPPM) in Faculty of Media and Communication is pleased to announce their upcoming seminar on Monday 21st November 2022, from 15.30-17.00 in F107.

The speakers will be Liz Bailey (PGR, CIPPM) and Dr. Hayleigh Bosher, Senior Lecturer in Intellectual Property Law at Brunel University and author of Copyright in the Music Industry (Edward Elgar, 2021).

The talk titled ‘There is something about music’ will present six cases from the last 20 years from the perspective of unknown musicians who accused the famous of infringement (i.e., such as Ed Sheeran). With some poetic licence and imagining their perspective through case commentary and media interviews, this presentation tells their story from the ‘not so famous’ side of life and how difficult it is to prove someone has stolen your work.

This is also the story of how unknown musicians are faced with finding ways to penetrate the music industry. It appears that the only way this is possible is by showcasing their work through online sites such as SoundCloud or YouTube and playing their work to managers and producers they meet at networking events, in the hope that these people who have heard their music are influential enough to open doors to a lucrative future.

The nature of the industry provides little proof of music changing hands, paper trails are often sketchy or non-existent and denial seems to be the best defence when it comes to being accused of plagiarising music.

The courts have struggled with this lack of factual evidence connecting the original music to the accused, and their solution concludes to one of coincidence, leaving no room for further accusation.

This seminar will be useful for anyone with an interest in music and wishing to know more about the law surrounding it.

All welcome!

Remember the stadium builders

BU research, Events, Featured academics, Global engagement, international, PG research, Publishing, Research news, Uncategorized, writing Edwin van Teijlingen

With the men’s FIFA football world cup starting on Sunday in Qatar it important to remember the human costs of those who build the infrastructure. The media coverage on the number of workers dying during the building of the football stadiums has highlighted the plight of foreign workers in the Middle East more generally. For example, BU’s researcher Dr. Nirmal Aryal was cited in The Sunday Times in an article with the title ‘Qatar 2022: Dying for the World Cup”, see the BU Research Blog published this time last year.

Here at BU we have conducted several studies into Nepali migrant workers, including those working in Qatar and elsewhere in the Middle East [1-13]. In the Middle East working conditions for foreign labourers are often Dirty, Dangerous and Difficult (commonly referred at as the 3Ds). Migrant workers often perform physically demanding work in a hot unprotected environment, suffer dehydration and/or exposure to chemical, excessive use of pain killers, and unhealthy lifestyle factors (such as restricted water intake and a high intake of alcohol/sugary drinks) which may precipitate them to acute kidney injuries and subsequent chronic kidney disease [1]. Dr. Regmi and colleagues in the Faculty of Health & Social Sciences are currently conducting a study into the kidney health of Nepalese migrant workers. This study is funded by the Colt Foundation.

From our work, we can say that in addition to the 3Ds, migrant workers are likely to experience a series of other challenges ranging from language and other cultural barriers, socio-economic problems and issues to do with their legal status, to a lack of health and safety training, difficulties in gaining access
to health services. If you have limited injury compensation in your line of work, a work injury attorney can answer commonly asked questions like “can employer make employee pay for accident?”

Political Consumption Research Seminar – Wednesday 9th November

BU research, Global engagement, Knowledge Exchange Roberta Discetti

In November’s SETS seminar, Fátima Portilho, from Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro, will present her research on political consumption in Latin America.

Her presentation is based on her work “Politicizing Consumption in Latin America‘” published in The Oxford Handbook of Political Consumerism.

Fatima holds a PhD in Social Sciences from UNICAMP (Brazil) and Oxford University (UK). Her research focuses on processes of politicization of consumption and everyday life, food activism, alternative food networks, and social movements.

As a discussant, we will have Anne Tallontire from Leeds University. Anne is a Professor of Sustainability and Business and her research focuses on corporate social responsibility with respect to development, particularly on ethical and fair trade and the use of private standards in food systems.

Short abstract of Fatima’s talk

Political consumerism takes a different trajectory in Latin America when compared with the northern hemisphere. Reasons include how social movements are driving forces for sustainable consumption. The region has a strong tradition of social movements, and they have incorporated, in some way, political consumerism tools into their action repertoire. Nonetheless, more emphasis is still put on working through the parliamentary arena rather than using the market as an arena for political pressure. The talk will discuss these specificities and the limitations and opportunities for the expansion of political consumerism throughout the continent, with a focus on Brazil.

The seminar is online, on November 9th at 3 pm (UK time)

Financial Worries while at University

Financial Worries of Young People

In a recent survey conducted by one of the Big-4 accounting firms, 41% of millennials and 46% of Gen Z respondents said they were stressed all or most of the time. About two-thirds of each group identified day-to-day finances and job/career prospects as significant worries. While financial stress is nothing new, the economic impact of the cost-of-living crises, the pandemic and the growing generational wealth gap is exacerbating and complicating the picture in many countries. It’s best to hire a wealth manager who specializes in the type of planning you need, visit https://vigilantwm.com/managing-your-wealth/ to learn more.

Research

Dr Phyllis Alexander, Associate Professor in Accounting and Taxation in the Business School, is currently collecting data for cross-country research into university students’ financial anxiety, financial socialisation, financial literacy, financial behaviour, loss aversion and personality traits.

Survey

This is an open invitation to all BU students interested in participating in the study into financial management behaviour and anxiety of university students. The online survey should only take 5-7 minutes to complete. The data will be used only for statistical analysis and will be treated with strict confidentiality. Thanks to those for taking time to contribute to the research project.

BURO and Open Access Week

BU research tcalvert

When a publication is submitted to BURO and made available Open Access, it opens part of our university free of charge to anyone who may be interested and benefit from the work of our researchers. As we mark Open for Climate Justice week, the availability of so much of our research into the environment and climate change is a reminder that out library is not just a physical space, but also a digital one which can be entered from anywhere in the world.

Recent articles on BURO on the environment range from post-COVID green recovery plans; the role of international tourist arrivals on pollutant emissions, and how the restoration of agricultural land can aid economic development.

As well as the published output, there are huge potential benefits to making the research data available too. BORDaR is BU’s interdisciplinary research data repository, hosting important work on the environment such as this dataset on microplastic patterns in urban streams.

There are of course many areas where BU research is making a major impact, but with the urgency of our climate crisis we can see how Open Access extends the influence of BU’s researchers in areas of the greatest political, ecological and social changes in our world.
