"We are delighted to announce funding for this year’s successful sabbatical applications.

The University’s annual Sabbatical Scheme is part of the Research and Enterprise Strategic Plan 2017-21. The scheme offers awards of up to £10,000 each to enable staff to take a period of sabbatical away from their substantive role at the University in order to undertake research and/or enterprise activity.

The sabbatical scheme for 2018/19 aims to support:

development of a high-quality proposal for substantive external research or enterprise funding to be submitted no later than the end of 2019
completion of a book or series of other substantial high-quality research publications or outputs at least one of which should be produced and in the public domain by June 2020 to be eligible for submission to REF 2021
development of a high-quality proposal for funding submitted to RCUK Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) no later than the end of 2019.

Congratulations to the successful academics who will be working on the following exciting projects:

Dr Matthew Adams (School of Applied Social Science) will prepare a monograph on the Anthropocene, a concept describing the unprecedented global impacts of human activity, threatening the survival and flourishing of countless habitats and species, including our own.

Professor Matthew Cornford (School of Art) will produce a photographic record of 26 art school sites in North West England, towards an exhibition in Liverpool in late 2018. This project is also supported by Arts Council England.

Dr Robin Dunford (School of Humanities) will pursue work relating to Responsibility to Protect: an international commitment to prevent and respond to mass atrocity crimes of genocide, ethnic cleansing, war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Dr Aristea Fotopoulou (School of Media) will pursue an international visiting fellowship abroad, developing manuscripts for monograph Feminist Data Studies and special issue Digital Culture Meets Data: Critical Perspective.

Dr Arman Hashemi (School of Environment and Technology) will visit the Centre for Sustainable Development and Department of Architecture in Cambridge to pursue research and funding on the impact of climate change on energy and thermal comfort.

Dr Olu Jenzen (School of Media) will visit the Centre on Social Movement Studies (COSMOS) at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Florence, to pursue her work on digital activism and sexualities research.

Dr Rachel Marks (School of Education) will complete a review of the current state of play of Mathematics education in the UK, identifying strength, gaps, and areas to focus further studies or development.

Dr Stewart Morrison (School of Health Sciences) will develop his programme of paediatric-foot research through publications and a funding application.

Dr Chrystie Myketiak (School of Humanities) will complete a manuscript, Online Sex Talk and the Social World, which will be published in the Palgrave Studies in Language, Gender and Sexuality.

Dr Adaeze Okoye (Brighton Business School) will pursue research in modern slavery in supply chains, in African business ethics, and in corporate social responsibility.

Dr Sarah Purnell (School of Environment and Technology), will publish the findings of recent collaborative projects in the fields of environmental biology, water reuse and predictive catchment mapping and modelling.

Dr Anita Rupprecht (School of Humanities) will bring together a body of her existing research in a series of publication addressing the history and cultural representation of transatlantic slavery.

Dr Catherine Theodosius (School of Health Sciences) will pursue the publication of her research on patient-focussed emotional labour, collegial emotional labour, and retention in nursing.

Dr Abigail Wincott (School of Media) will complete her monograph Growing Heritage: the politics of heritage vegetables, to be published by Routledge in 2019."

I think I'd be a bit pissed off to be paying 30K+ fees to be studying to get a career working on a cure for cancer.

These are my favourites.

I wonder how Dr. Dunford is going to tackle crimes against humanity and atrocities from the pub.

And those Females in the vaulted halls of academia are obsessed with sex and vegetables.

Sorry. Heritage vegetables...whatever they are. Potatoes? carrots?

Why am I not given 10k to sit about writing shit that no-one is ever going to read?

"

So is that just spending a year going online and talking dirty to people or am I over simplifying this?

Now with photo of Dr Myketiak.

When their putting their proposals for these hefty sums to be allocated I wonder if they ever wonder..

"Shit, who am I kidding...this sounds like total balls"

No..no I doubt it.

I think she should spend her 10 grand on a boob job.

That's my proposal to augment her feminist perspective.

This year's offering is relatively tame. My personal favourite - pure genius - is:

“Pole Fitness and Porn ‘empowerment’: Aestheticizing the New Misogyny”

Richard Seymour
London School of Economics
&
Patricia McManus
University of Brighton

Thursday 14th March
6.30pm


Lecture Theatre G7, School of Humanities, Faculty of Arts, University of Brighton, Pavilion Street (opposite The Royal Pavilion

This panel will take as its exploratory focus the presence of pole-fitness societies on UK campuses, and the language of the defence of these as ‘enabling participation’ in a form of ‘sport and art’. It will do so within a wider context of the arguable decline of patriarchal relations and the gender projects that are replacing them. Patricia McManus will concentrate on a critical framework for understanding the discourses of ‘pole-fitness’, her paper will engage with two modes of approaching the ‘re-sexualisation’ of women’s bodies in late capitalism. Richard Seymour will focus upon these neo-pornographic technologies of the body as precisely a part of a market-driven gender project.
The panel will also focus on the role, if any, of academic activists in the contestation of gendered discourses of choice on university campuses.

Patricia McManus is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Arts and Media at Brighton University. She is currently organising a conference on Fifty Shades of Grey which aims to explore of the contradictory conservatism of contemporary popular culture when it comes to the representation of gendered lives

Richard Seymour runs the Lenin’s Tomb blog, he is also the author of several books including The Liberal Defence of Murder (2008), The Meaning of David Cameron (2010) and Unhitched: The Trial of Christopher Hitchens (2012).

That sounds great. I would nothing more than listening to them discussing the dance moves of the Polish Builders in the Catfish on Friday nights.

Could be potatoes or carrots. It's using old cultivars of plants that have not changed for centuries.Heirlooms. Tend to use them myself rather than F1 and definitely not GM.
