The study of gender and sexuality has developed dramatically over recent years, with a changing theoretical landscape that has seen innovative work emerge on identity, the body and embodiment, queer theory, technology, space, and the concept of gender itself. There has been an increasing focus on sexuality and new theorizing on masculinities. This exciting series will take account of these developments, emphasizing new, original work that engages both theoretically and empirically with the themes of gender, sexuality, and, crucially, their intersections, to set a new, vibrant and contemporary international agenda for research in this area.

Early medieval waterscapes Risks and opportunities for (im)material cultural exchange, 2019

Recent excavations of Anglo-Saxon cemeteries have added new finds to the small corpus of elaborate linked-pin suites, dated to the 7th century. These objects were used to close a veil or shawl in the collar area and are found in female 7th-century high status burials in England. Although this jewellery type sometimes also appears in sets comprising simple copper-alloy pins, linked with a single loop-in-loop chain, the elaborate pieces are made of precious metal with garnet decorated pins. Some of the latter have chains merging into animal-head terminals. New analyses and close links to a German example from Isenbüttel show far-reaching relations between early medieval elites and allow the find-group to be set in its wider social and historical context. In this paper a possible Christian connection of the jewellery type “linked-pin suite” will be discussed as a hypothesis.

Collaborations: A Journal of Community-Based Research and Practice, 2019

This article reports findings from an Inclusive Science Day event that was hosted at a rurally located discovery museum. The event was collaboratively planned and hosted by two undergraduate student organizations from a local university. The university students planned eight inclusive science stations that were supplemented by six museum-developed stations. Each station was planned to meet the needs of a variety of learners. The event was very well attended, with approximately 150 visitors who ranged in age from infants to older adults. The research study reports findings from a survey of 22 caregivers who attended the Inclusive Science Day event. Findings present relevant information about the benefits of embracing a community-university partnership model and suggestions for facilitating a collaboratively planned inclusive science event. The implications highlight the importance of inclusive informal learning practices and partnership development in all locales. While the research is particularly relevant for rural stakeholders, it also provides useful considerations for all settings.

Small Things, Wide Horizons. Studies in honour of Birgitta Hårdh, 2015

The activities of the metal detectorists in Denmark have contributed immensely to our knowledge of Iron Age archaeology. Comparison with neighbouring areas is, however, problematic due to differences in legislation. In this paper I present a hitherto unknown use of Migration Period clasp buttons, namely as brooches, possibly inspired by the Anglo-Saxon button brooches, but also suggesting influences from Central Sweden.

Technological Forecasting and Social Change, 2014

Integrating foresight into corporations has proved to be challenging and rare. The paper proposes an organizational futurist role as an internal champion and broker to facilitate the integration process. It builds on the direct experience of one of the authors in crafting the role by revisiting and critically reviewing the papers reporting on findings from that experience. A literature review is then used to reflect on the gaps identified and to stimulate new conceptualizations in order to ground the role in a more suitable academic approach. The paper proposes several tangible approaches for how an organizational futurist role might respond to three principal challenges to the integration of foresight identified and confirmed by a review of the literature. The paper concludes with a research agenda to explore those approaches.

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to revisit the special issue of Accounting, Auditing & Accountability Journal which was published in 1991 and which sought to stimulate the "green accounting" debate, to evaluate that issue and, in particular, to examine what we might learn about the development of the social and environmental accounting literature in the last 20 years. Design/methodology/approach -The paper takes the form of a discursive, polemical essay. Findings -The special issue exhibited a wide range of approaches and possibilities; it also exhibited some theoretical naivety and a charming optimism and fetching trust in the power of reasonable argument. Retrospectively, the field has expanded considerably and has made many advances in theoretical and empirical understanding but researchers appear to be less willing to examine the fundamental issues that originally motivated the development of the field. Research limitations/implications -The implications and limitations stem from the ambitions of this discursive attempt to encourage debate of a more direct and confrontational nature -both within and at the margins of social, environmental and sustainability accounting. Originality/value -The originality and value of the paper is in its critical engagement with the literature and ideas of social accounting, which is the generic descriptor used in the paper to include "green accounting". It provides not only an analysis of the achievement of the work to date but some critical pointers to the work that still needs to be done.
