Reception Baseline Assessment and ‘small acts’ of micro‐resistance

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract In September 2021, following the global COVID‐19 pandemic, the Department for Education introduced a national standardised digital Reception Baseline Assessment (RBA) for all English 4‐year‐old children. We analyse RBA and its associated Quality Monitoring Visits, as a further intensification of the new public management of early years ...

The iconographic transformation of the “tail of the dragon of the eclipse” into the “hunting cheetah” [PDF]

, 2018
Medieval Islamic iconography includes many depictions in which the tail of Sagittarius takes the form of the “dragon of the eclipse”. The current paper examines the gradual transformation of this imagery into that of a quadruped, eventually detached from

Prospects for a Dark Matter annihilation signal towards the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy with ground based Cherenkov telescopes

, 2011
Dwarf galaxies are widely believed to be among the best targets for indirect dark matter searches using high-energy gamma rays; and indeed gamma-ray emission from these objects has long been a subject of detailed study for ground-based atmospheric ...

‘I've always known that I would become a teacher’: How White women narrate their choice to teach, and what this means for teacher recruitment

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Teacher shortages are not only severe and long term, but are strongly patterned by social inequities. In many Western countries the teaching workforce is dominated by White women, yet there is a lack of consideration as to why these patterns persist.

Widening participation in outward student mobility: Successes, challenges and opportunities

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This article utilises data obtained through evaluation processes at Northumbria University to contribute to the emerging discourse on widening participation and outward student mobility. The rationale behind the study stems from the significant financial and non‐financial benefits associated with higher education and the UK's ongoing efforts ...

Neutron-Capture Element Abundances in Planetary Nebulae

Galaxies, 2020
Nebular spectroscopy is a valuable tool for assessing the production of heavy elements by slow neutron(n)-capture nucleosynthesis (the s-process). Several transitions of n-capture elements have been identified in planetary nebulae (PNe) in the last few ...

The Shape and Profile of the Milky Way Halo as Seen by the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey [PDF]

, 2011
We use Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey data for 170 deg^2, recalibrated and transformed to the Sloan Digital Sky Survey ugri photometric system, to study the distribution of near-turnoff main-sequence stars in the Galactic halo along four ...
