The MA Politics offers you the opportunity to develop an advanced understanding of politics and policymaking across national and international settings. You can explore critical issues that drive the political process and examine the role of the state in the governance of society. You can consider contemporary challenges, such as policy formulation and implementation in areas such as counter-terrorism, gender equality and health. Together with tutors and peers, you have the opportunity to engage in important discussions about the future of representative democracy in Britain and globally.
The programme draws on expertise within the School of Social and Political Sciences, and you can benefit from close support by specialist academics. A key feature is the provision of core modules that aim to familiarise you with advanced research skills. The MA in Politics is designed to help you to become a confident researcher with the ability to explore all dimensions of the policymaking process.
This degree offers a distinctive range of modules, drawing upon the existing research and teaching expertise in the School of Social and Political Sciences to deliver an academically rigorous and contemporary programme. Please note that the availability of optional modules will vary due to staff availability and student numbers.
This programme is not only designed to develop a student's specialist subject knowledge, but aims to equip students with a set of transferable skills relevant to further academic study and employment. The incorporation of a strong research methods element within the MA is designed to enhance employability and development of transferable skills.
Students will be taught using a range of methods including lectures, seminars/workshops and tutorials. Lectures are designed to introduce students to key themes and perspectives, generate enthusiasm for further enquiry, provide illustrative examples and to signpost substantive issues.
Seminars and workshops provide students with an environment for more interactive learning and reflection, aimed at deepening critical understanding of the subject matter. These sessions are organised in a variety of ways, including tutor or student-led discussions, presentations, and problem-solving exercises, normally centred on a particular theme.
Tutorials are available to students on an individual or small-group basis as a means of supporting the preparation of individual or group assignments, offering feedback on progress, dealing with any particular learning difficulties, and offering advice on specific choices within the module programme. E-learning will be supported through use of the University's virtual learning environment.
Full-time students on this programme can expect to receive approximately eight hours of contact time per week. However, this may vary depending on which optional modules are selected by students.
The research methods modules on this programme are taught in weekly two-hour sessions and the remaining modules are mostly taught through two-hour weekly lecture and seminar sessions. In addition, students attend personal tutor groups, Independent Study/dissertation workshops, and have meetings with their Independent Study/dissertation supervisor.
We expect that a full-time student on this course would engage in four hours of self-study for every one hour of lecture and seminar time. This equates to 32 hours of self-study per week. These figures are halved for part-time study.
Comparative Legislatures (Option)†
Find out more
This module provide an in-depth understanding of the role of legislatures in political systems, and how the form, structure, activities and impacts of legislatures varies across a range of states. It will focus on the broad differences in the role and impact of legislatures in parliamentary and presidential systems, and through a series of case studies examine the operation of legislatures in a number of states such as the United Kingdom, the USA, Germany, France, China and Russia, as well as the European Parliament and the devolved assemblies within the UK.
Critical Reading in the Social and Political Sciences (Core)
Find out more
This social science module explores the ways in which knowledge is created, communicated, consumed and debated in the social and political sciences. It aims to expose students to key issues of methodological choice, issue framing, research ethics and author subject-position through interrogation of contemporary and classical texts of relevance to the social and political sciences and the disciplinary concerns of the MA programmes on which it appears. The module seeks to develop students' skills in critical reading and in both oral and written academic debate.
Feminisms: Theories and Debates (Option)†
Find out more
This module explores feminist theories of gender, applying feminist perspectives to contemporary issues. As there is no single 'feminist' perspective, the module will introduce students to different strands of feminist thought including liberal, radical, black, postcolonial and postmodern feminisms. Feminist debates around the nature of gender/sex, the causes of gender inequality, the intersection of gender with other important social and political identities (such as race, class and sexuality) and disagreements over strategies for how best to address continuing gender inequalities will all be addressed. In addition, we will examine the extent to which a postfeminist perspective which takes feminism for granted but at the same time dismisses its continuing relevance is currently dominant in society. We will also engage with questions around the relevance of feminism to men and masculinity. Finally, we will consider what light feminist theoretical perspectives can shed on a range of gendered issues. Sample topics might include: the family, pornography, popular culture, the workplace, the family, everyday sexism and objectification. Students will be encouraged to develop their own critical and informed answers to key questions such as how far gender is a performance (as opposed to biologically determined), which feminist perspectives offer the most promising tools for challenging the contemporary gender order and how we can apply feminist thought to re-imagining gender relations. In accordance with a feminist pedagogical ethos, students will also be required to demonstrate a reflexive approach to the theory, analysing the links and disjunctures between their own experiences and feminist theoretical debates. Overall, the module will aim to 'make the familiar strange' and enable students to question their own assumptions, as well as popular and common sense notions of gender.
Global Health: Policy and Practice (Option)†
Find out more
Global health policy is an area of growing concern in both theory and practice. Increasingly, health and healthcare issues cross national borders. Political, economic, social, cultural and environmental factors at all levels, from local to global, influence the health statuses of individuals and populations. International institutions (e.g. the World Health Organization), philanthropic organisations (e.g. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation) and multinational corporations ('big pharma') play key roles in the politics of health, as well as national governments and health systems.
This module examines the concepts that shape debates in (and are shaped by) global health, including global health governance and global health diplomacy. It then critically assesses programmes and strategies designed to address global health challenges such as pandemics, infectious and non-communicable diseases, reproductive health, biosecurity and inequalities of health.
Global Issues in Gender and Sexuality (Option)†
Find out more
This module aims to provide the opportunity to develop an in-depth understanding of some central concepts and theoretical debates on gender and sexuality including feminist theory and masculinities. These can be examined in greater depth in the context of key issues relating to power and economy in contemporary global politics.
These theories can then be applied to a range of case studies/issues. These case studies may change to reflect contemporary issues and academic developments but sample topics include decision-making processes in national and international political systems, the construction of gender and sexual identities in a globalised world and militarised masculinities.
Globalisation (Option)†
Find out more
This module aims to examine the background to globalisation and its relationship to the emerging trends towards regional governance and integration. The module seeks to draw out the implications of these trends for the nation state and its various corporate and policy actors.
The current globalisation trend has far-reaching consequences. Its origins are economic and lie in the gradual movement towards economic interdependence and integration of markets which has been taking place during the second half of the twentieth century.
Globalisation also reflects the decline of US hegemony and the collapse of Soviet power. Globalisation poses a major legitimisation challenge to the nation-state and nation-state based political economies. This has been evident in a tendency in recent years for national governments to seek to 'depoliticise' social and economic policy decisions by reference to 'global forces'. More pro-actively the challenge to the nation-state has given a new impetus to the development of regional political economies notably the EU.
Masculinities, Power and Society (Option)†
Find out more
This module explores masculinities and the operation of power through masculinities in society. It aims to engage with key theoretical perspectives on gender and masculinity, taking an in-depth look at these concepts, along with related ideas such as 'hegemonic masculinity,' 'heteronormativity' and 'intersectionality.' Important contemporary debates in masculinities scholarship will be addressed, such as around hegemonic masculinity, whether this is a useful concept and how far it can explain (global) gendered power relations. Masculinities and masculinity will also be explored in different empirical settings.
Master's Dissertation in Politics (Core)
Find out more
The dissertation module allows students to explore their own interests relevant to the study of politics. It provides students with an opportunity to undertake and produce an independent piece of in-depth research. Students will develop their research ideas in collaboration with teaching staff and will be supported to design and implement a coherent, robust research project and to write up their findings/analysis in the form of a dissertation.
The format of the study will vary from primarily library-based or theoretical research to the production of empirical research through qualitative or quantitative fieldwork. Students will need to: examine an issue related to their discipline; demonstrate the ability to critically review the relevant academic literature; address a clear research question or hypothesis; address ethical issues in conducting social research; and give a clear explanation and defence of the methods they have chosen as most appropriate to their study.
Political Analysis (Core)
Find out more
This module aims to provide an advanced level of understanding of issues related to the theoretical basis of contemporary political analysis. Politics, like other social sciences, is an essentially contested field, in which there is significant disagreement amongst researchers about how to analyse political institutions, ideas and behaviour.
The module deals with the use of theory and meta-theory in politics and international relations. It begins with an examination of the nature of explanation and understanding in the social sciences before examining a series of key theoretical and meta-theoretical debates within the discipline. Amongst the topics to be covered are the relationship between ontology and epistemology, structure, agency and power and the role of ideas in political analysis.
Politics and Public Policy (Core)
Find out more
As the first subject-specific core module on the MA Politics, Politics and Public Policy provides an overview of public policy-making across different institutional arenas and geographical contexts. It aims to familiarise students with the stages of the policy-making process, ranging from the 'discovery' of policy problems, to the setting of political agendas and the implementation of policy solutions.
It considers cases and examples that illustrate real-world dilemmas of public policy-making and draws attention to different understanding of what public policy can achieve. New ideas about how to obtain governing outcomes—through nudges or 'meta-governing', for example—will be explored with an interest in their potentials and limitations.
Researching Social and Political Sciences (Core)
Find out more
This module is designed to introduce students to researching in social and political sciences. The aim of the module is to provide a crucial foundation for all students (regardless of disciplinary background) to understand debates around research methods/methodologies in social science; to enable familiarity with a variety of research methods and to equip students to be able to critically evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of applying specific methodologies/methods to different research projects in social and political sciences. Overall, the module will aim to prepare students for independent studies later in their degree and equip them with transferable research skills.
Terrorism (Option)†
Find out more
The label 'terrorism' is applied erratically with little clear precision or exclusivity to its use and failing to clearly differentiate those labelled 'terrorists'. The long and contested histories of diverse political and ideological struggles in respect of securing the legitimacy of this label, and/or the resistance to it, are often made unclear by the cultural significance the label itself.
The aim of this module is to provide a critical understanding of these heated debates focusing on past and current management strategies, their relative strengths and weaknesses, the problems with conceptualisation and their various proponents from the worlds of academia/counter insurgency studies, political and criminal justice/military 'experts'.
Theories and Concepts in International Relations (Option)†
Find out more
This module aims to provide students with a graduate-level overview of both mainstream and critical approaches to theorising international relations. The emphasis is on evaluating and applying theories, understanding the historical development of international relations as a field, and engaging with contemporary debates and concerns.
The module explores how the discipline of international relations is characterised by competing interpretations and applications of key concepts (eg power, the role of the state state, agency/structure, and conceptualisations of world order) and differing methodological approaches and views about the practical purpose underpinning theories of world politics.
Students will be encouraged to critically explore the ways in which international relations theory influences policy-making and practice. On a broader level, students can gain insights into the contested nature of contemporary global politics. Case studies and contemporary materials will be used extensively throughout the module to illustrate the varying theoretical models and their applicability in the contemporary world.
Transition From Communism to Post-Communism (Option)†
Find out more
The module aims to develop the analytical skills and provide the opportunity to broaden students' knowledge by exposing them to the wide-ranging debates on the problems of transition from Communism focusing, for example, on the Soviet and post-Soviet systems.
Students have the opportunity to develop knowledge of not only of the academic literature on late Soviet and post-Soviet Russian politics but also to read several major works from the comparative literature on transitions in order to assess the relevance of generalisations in that body of scholarship to the Soviet and Russian transition. They are encouraged also to consider what contribution an understanding of the Soviet and Russian case has to make to political science more generally. The module analyses both the significant achievements and the major problems of transition from Communism to post- Communism in Russia.
More generally, it aims to provide students with the skills and knowledge to interpret current and future developments in Russia. Given the continuing importance of Russia in international relations, this may be of of practical benefit to careers other than academia - among them politics, the civil service, international banking, and journalism.
U.S. Exceptionalism (Option)†
Find out more
The term 'American exceptionalism' – or, more precisely, 'US exceptionalism' (since the United States does not represent all of America) – has gone viral in recent years. Previously only used by a small group of American Studies scholars and historians, the term was first propelled into public discourse by the Republican Party during the failed presidential campaigns of John McCain (2008) and Mitt Romney (2012). Since then it has become a 'hegemonic' concept.
This module aims to provide MA students with a highly advanced knowledge and critical understanding of US exceptionalism. The aim is to encourage students to think holistically and critically about the discourse of US exceptionalism so as to understand its roots in contemporary power relations and be able to challenge it.

Here is an idea (one of many) which shows the versatility of the test tubes that we carry. I made a sort of holder out of chipboard and used a tab to hold the "vase" in place. I used some DP from the Piggy Tales Cinderella line which we carry at RBDand covered the card. I stamped the butterflies from Benevolent Butterflies (added glitter for some bling) and cut them out and made them look 3D by bending the wings out a bit. I added a sentiment from Friends of a Feather add-ons to complete the card front. I tied the chipboard card closed with a piece of our Hint of LimeTaffeta edge satin ribbon... good thing it comes in 10 yard lengths, I've been using it on EVERYTHING!! Here is a close up of the outside butterflies.
And here is a view of the inside of this holder! (click to enlarge)

The heated race for the White House won't stop the Federal Reserve from raising interest rates this year.
Continue Reading Below
In an interview on Fox's Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, John Williams, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, said "We've proven over and over again that we can act in presidential election years." Williams added, "We are about as apolitical as you can imagine just focused on our goals."
More From FOXBusiness.com...
The remarks from Williams continue a steady stream of Fed speak this month in which multiple FOMC officials have indicted policymakers will hike rates this year.
Members of the Federal Reserve will meet next in a two-day meeting on June 14-15. "In my view it will be appropriate to start raising rates again later this year," said Williams, while noting that policymakers will continue to scrutinize the economic data ahead of the planned meetings.

Olaudah Equiano's the Interesting Narrative Essay
Sorry, but copying text is forbidden on this website!
Olaudah Equiano's The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vassa, the African, Written by Himself, is the story of the eponymous real-life character, Olaudah Equiano, his life, trials, tribulations and journey from slavery at an early age to freedom. For Equiano, it seems that slavery is almost a metaphysical phenomenon.
His entire life is essentially characterized by the different experiences relating slavery, from Africa to the Middle Passage to plantation life in the West Indies and United States.
Equiano's views on slavery are tough to articulate and truly complex. Throughout the novel he makes reference to different 'degrees of slavery,' at times condemning the practice, and at other times contradicting himself and seemingly lauding it. I believe that his conflicting views are products of his first hand experience with nearly all aspects of the practice, and near the end of the novel it is clear that he is in favor of ending slavery.
See more: what is a narrative essay
Although he was kidnapped at the age of eleven, Equiano's familiarity with slavery actually begins long before that. Born in a region that is today known as Nigeria. His father a chief, (and ironically himself would eventually reach the same status if not for his kidnapping years later), Equiano's family was considered 'upper-class,' and thus owned their own number of slaves. I believe that this is the beginning and serves as the basis of which he compares the slavery he experiences later in his lifetime to, and also what may serve as the beginning of his conflicting emotion towards the practice in general.
He makes note that slaves in this community, while under the direction of a master and with clear distinction of a 'lesser importance,' are still treated in a humane way. On his own account, these slaves do a comparable amount of work to that of other members of the community. When put into perspective, with no knowledge of what's to come (in regards to subsequent experiences in different aspects and degrees of slavery) at this point it is easy to see why Equiano has not yet condemned the idea or practice of slavery.
Shortly thereafter, Equiano is kidnapped (along with his sister, though the two are eventually separated), He narrates being taken on a long, arduous voyage through a variety of African regions, during which he had "often changed masters." He is first sold across Africa, first to a chieftain, and shortly after to a widow. After which, he is ultimately sold to the owner of a ship destined for the West Indies.
Equiano dubs this Atlantic voyage himself "The Middle Passage," and this is where I believe his journey truly begins. Equiano elaborates on his introduction and subsequent alienation to the European culture and their treatment of slaves. He details the substandard living conditions and destitution of living aboard the slave ship, and being a stark contrast to the concept of slavery he knew back in Africa, I believe this is the defining moment where his viewpoint regarding slavery is partitioned.
I think it's important to note that when Equiano is enslaved by fellow Africans, he makes note of the strong contrasts and class distinctions between himself and them. He makes direct comparisons between himself and the class he hails from, and these other Africans, going as far as to call them "barbaric" and "uncivilized." I believe that this is worth noting, because it's almost paradoxical how he is very quick to condemn these people and their form of slavery, while at the same time not criticizing the slavery that took place in his own village when he was a child. Though not yet acknowledging it, I believe that this is when he begins to form his own 'tiers' of the practice of slavery.
After arriving at the West Indies and experiencing the sale of slaves firsthand, Equiano continues along with the slave ship to North America, and ultimately purchased by a naval captain, Michael Pascal to work in Virginia. Again he is subjected to cruel treatment inside the slaveholders' homes. This is, I believe, the turning point that eventually leads to Equiano's final resolution. He details being shocked and hurt to the point where he tries to wash the color of his skin off his face. While travelling the seas with Pascal, Equiano has many more encounters in and with Britain. With more and more exposure to Christianity and European culture, he details that he was no longer frightened and apprehensive towards it, beginning to show confluence of African and European cultures. He was eventually sent to school in Britain, educated and shortly after, baptized.
It is worth noting that later in the novel he often relates his new religious standpoint to his enslavement. While becoming a Christian himself, whether or not he holds responsible God, himself, or the hypocritical Christian Europeans for his enslavement is left ambiguous. Ultimately, (and after brief stints of being purchased by other masters) Equiano is sold to Robert King. Educated and under the direction of a master treating him relatively fair, Equiano here observes another facet of slavery. He is further educated and directed along the path of Christianity, which I believe further adds more conflicting emotion, due to it being comparable to his original notion of slavery from his childhood.
While working for King on shipping routes, he determines himself to save some money on the side, in order to buy his freedom from King. Interesting to note though, in the novel he explicitly states that he would like to return to Old England, not Africa. While I think this is further evidence of his confluence of English and African cultures, I believe that this is also the beginning of his plea against the practice of slavery, as later in the novel we find out that he does indeed buy his freedom, and much later returns to London and become involved in the abolitionist movement.
In conclusion, it is clear to see that in the mind of Equiano, slavery is not simple a one-sided condemnation. From birth until freedom, he has lived and experienced all aspects of slavery, from his family owning slaves to being purchased himself. It's an interesting and unique point of view that few (if any more) people who were involved in the practice of slavery experienced themselves.
In the end, I think it is clear to the reader that Equiano is against the notion of slavery, but I believe that's a conclusion he came to because of personal experience along with education and indulgement of European culture. While I don't believe he accepts the practice of slavery, I believe that he accepts slavery as part of how he defines of himself, almost as if slavery could not be abolished were it not conceived in the first place.

PPM and CDP cut deal for government
(CNS): Alden McLaughlin will be keeping his job as premier, while McKeeva Bush will be swapping his seat on the opposition benches in the Legislative Assembly for the speaker's chair. In a brief statement from the two men Friday about their decision to work together, there was very little detail about the shape of the new government, but given the result of the elections, it became apparent over the last 40 hours or so that the rival parties were the most likely two groups to form the next political administration.
In a brief statement signed by both McLaughlin, the leader of the PPM, and McKeeva Bush, the leader of the CDP, the men said they had chosen to work together in the "interests of national unity".
Bernie Bush and Captain Eugene Ebanks, the two CDP members who were re-elected, are expected to sit on the government benches, with Bush taking the posts of deputy speaker and ministry councillor. Cabinet positions have not been confirmed and the statement indicated that the full details of the shape of the new government would be revealed Monday.
However, CNS understands that Tara Rivers will retain the education and employment ministry and Moses Kirkconnell will stay at tourism, while Roy McTaggart will take the finance portfolio. Juliana O'Connor-Connolly, who has given up her speaker's chair for McKeeva Bush, is also expected to take up a Cabinet seat in the new PPM-led coalition.
Sources close to the talks Friday indicated that Alva Suckoo may have also been invited to join the coalition, possibly as health minister, but CNS was unable to confirm that he had accepted the offer.
While the public statement from McLaughlin and Bush was very short, correspondence sent by Bush to CDP members indicated that he had engaged in talks with the various independent alliances and groups but was unable to come to an agreement with them after some of the independent candidates refused to sit in Cabinet with him.
He said that he would remain neutral as the speaker and explained the political realities faced by the group of MLAs who were returned to office.
While some people may find the decision on the part of both McLaughlin and Bush hard to believe, given their personal animosity over the years, from a policy perspective it is not surprising.
While there are now very clear political differences in the positions held by the elder independents and both the CDP and the PPM, the two parties' manifestos were very similar, with form rather than substance being the divide between them.
See the short statement below and check back to CNS later for more on the shape of the new government.

SAFE Coalition for Human Rights is a nonprofit registered with the Illinois Secretary of State in March 2014. SAFECHR was formed to support the objectives of SAFE 2014 Conference : Sex-Trafficking Awareness, Freedom, and Empowerment (SAFE). The team is entirely made up of volunteers donating their time, energies, and commitment to making our citizen-driven, survivor-driven conference a success.
SAFECHR was born when a group of survivors attended a conference in November and shared their stories creating an impetus that their experiences and lack of wrap around services needed to fuel debate and discussion on how we can create a bridge from victim to survivor, from insensitivity to creative awareness, and from successful trafficker to incarcerated criminal.
Since January 2014, the volunteer committee has worked together to gather a diverse group of professionals to come together to find solutions and develop a working global task force that meets each month to implement these findings.
To protect the human dignity of trafficked persons globally through education, prevention, and rehabilitation programs.
To promote collaborative practices of Advocacy for social and political change, create Awareness, promote Prevention, Education and Restoration of Human Rights.
To improve socioeconomic conditions, spur growth, support policy and crime prevention.
A global oasis of hope and healing – a world without human trafficking.
SAFE Coalition for Human Rights is a volunteer-led, clinician-based, and survivor-empowered NGO registered as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization confronting the enormity of human trafficking at the grassroots and international level. SAFECHR was formed in 2013 and registered in March 2014 in Chicago, Illinois, USA, after several survivors felt that their voices were unheard during a panel presentation at the Illinois Psychological Association Annual Convention. Soon after, the SAFE 2014: First Annual Global Conference was held in Chicago. The work of SAFECHR has resulted in the emergence of a growing global task force against human trafficking with currently 25 member nations.
Since our origins, our work has continued to be centered around the guidance of survivors, who lead the direction of SAFECHR and our endeavors to serve victims and survivors of human trafficking. Furthermore, SAFECHR leadership and staff members are experienced professionals in their respective fields, including psychology, education, social work, human rights advocacy, international relations, non-profit management, and business.

Artist: Lia
Release date: May 3, 2006
Label: Keys Sounds Label
Genre: J-pop/Ballad
Number of Songs: 5
Personal Rating: 5/5
1. Tori no Shi
2. Farewell Song
3. Aozora
4. Tori no Shi "Remixed Cosmic Seekers"
5. Farewell Song "Remixed Tsukasa"
I know that I've been reviewing many anime music for the past few days but lately, I've been hooked up with watching serveral anime shows and I'm just thinking that anime shows actually have good music! (Like the dramatic "Air" for example!)
Tori no Shi (also known as "Tori no Uta" or "Bird's Poem"), probably the best and least dramatic song in the whole single. (And to be honest, the other two songs were REALLY emotional compared to "Tori no Shi.") A melodious piano interlude is played at the start of the song while the rhtyhm becomes more upbeat as the song progresses. I think this song itself shows the true extent of Lia's talent for "pop-like" music. (I'm pretty glad that "Air" chose this as its opening theme! The other two A-side songs are also used in the series.)
There's the Farewell Song that was selected to be Air's ending theme. I guess the song suits the theme but after watching the first episode of Air, listening to the song made me want to cry. At least I could point out that the song sounds like a really beautiful lullaby.
The last A-side song, Aozora was the most dramatic of all of the songs Lia ever sang. (It was used for the very emotional scene during the last episode of Air.) There's actually not much of an instrumental in the background and that Lia's voice was sung in a style that someone would sing when their heart gets broken. I'm just going to simply say that if someone were to actually watch the series and hear this song, you would probably be moved to tears. (Which of course, happened to many people who have watched it; including me.)
The Tori no Shi "Remixed Cosmic Seekers" was one of those really long remixes that have a REALLY long introduction and a REALLY longacoustic interlude. (Like most of the other remixes out there.) I'm pretty sure that if the producers of the single chose the remix companies that Ayumi Hamasaki uses, I think that the remixes would sound better….just an opinion.
The first thing that comes to mind when I listen to the Farewell Song "Remixed Tsukasa" was that it was 9 whole minutes long! That's longer than the 8 minute "Stairway to Heaven," and regarding the fact that this is even a remix, I think that it's too long for a remix!
Yay! My first "5 Starred" review!!! I'll just say that the one problem is that the remixes are a bit crappy. But other than that, this single has won my heart! 😀

Presented at the 20th Annual Research Conference
We're sorry, handouts are not available for this presentation.
Session Number: 23 Room: Salon I
Presenting: Allison Pinto; Richard Puddy; Melissa Van Dyke; Frances Wallace
All Authors for this paper: Allison Pinto; Richard Puddy; Melissa Van Dyke; Frances Wallace
Presentation Type: topical discussion
Synopsis: Given that the complexity approach emphasizes emergence and self-organization, it is not possible to predict beforehand what participants will discuss in this session! The kinds of questions that might come up include: How can systems of care gather information about needs emerging Òjust beyond the horizonÓ in local communities? How can systems of care create facilitative conditions in communities, rather than creating rules and incentives to address problems by controlling ÒstakeholderÓ behavior? How can systems of care collect ongoing feedback to navigate continual development, rather than focusing on the measurement of end-point outcomes to establish success?
Date: Monday, March 5, 2007
Session Time: 3:00 PM - 4:30 PM

177/365: 302 svindlande (wuthering heights)
175/365: 25 bländad (blinded)
Blinded by nature
Blinded by the sun in the morning. It was shining bright through the haze, when trekking in Cinque Terre, Italy. I have seen a lot of beautiful landscapes but this was really amazing. We had some hard paths but it was worth every step:) Read more about all the trails here.
Jag blev bländad av solen på morgonen när den sken genom dimman, under min vandring i Cinque Terre, Italien. Jag har sett många vackra landskap men det var verkligen något alldeles extra. Vi gick en del utmanande sträckor men det var värt varje steg:) Klicka på länken i den engelska texten för att få mer information om de vandringsleder som finns i området.
138/365: 181 Länge sedan (long time ago)
30 av 365: 2 akter (stern)
30/365, snart 10 %… Akter kan även tolkas "handlingar". Men eftersom jag älskar havet, har jag valt att tolka temat med en akter på en båt. En båt med underbar färg:)
Theme 30 of 365 in my photo challenge, soon 10 %… In Swedish the word "akter" also means "acts" in English. Though I love everything about the sea, I choose the interpretation "stern". Amazing color on this boat:)
Finding serenity in nature
This post is an entry in the weekly photo challenge, to find other posts or to participate, click the link.
I find peace by the sea. There is nothing more calming than watching the water, the sky and just feel the nature surrounding. That is serenity for me.
I have lived near the archipelago all my life and I often go there, its beautiful all seasons, and it always offers peace to my mind.
The photos for this weeks challenge is taken in a place I used to pass every day to work. The mornings where stunning. A new day begins and that is a beautiful thing. Watching it by the sea is almost overwhelming, for me:)
Photos can hardly give justice to the real views but I hope these will show some of its greatness.
The new day begins and offers new opportunities. Every new day is a great gift. We should feel gratitude and salute every new day.
An autumn walk by the seaside
Seaside walk
I love to walk by the seaside, all seasons, but especially autumn is a great time for long walks, recreation and to recover. Dark evenings and mornings make us go inside and have a peace and calming life while slowing down. It is highly needed and also enjoyable. If you ask me… Nature goes in to the same mood as I do and I love to walk outside and just enjoy the autumn sights.
The photos in this post is taken a few weeks a go when I was walking for a couple of hours. We have had a warm autumn this year and it has been very nice weather this far. But now I must say I beginning to long for some cold and snowy weather, it is about time:)

By the water -a morning in calmness
As you might already know: I love early mornings by the sea. The calmness is overwhelming and the light is wonderful. A moment of silence before the rest of the world wakes up.
Weekly Photo Challenge: silhouette
–Weekly Photo Challenge: silhouette–
This post is an entry in WP Daily Post weekly photo challenge. To see more entries or to participate, please click the link above! The theme for this week is silhouette, an artistic expression in photography if you ask me. I think silhouettes can be amazing and though they don't show too much details they actually tell the pictures story. Amazing and fascinating.
My first photo is taken in the archipelago, late in December last year. The sun doesn't get high up at that time of the year so all day is a "golden hour". My kids and I had a day outdoors with some lunch out on the lonely beach. A great day:)
Next photo is taken on an evening walk, when the light was the same but this time it is taken in March and spring has arrived:)
Time for my summer summary in photos
Summer summary 2014
Summer is soon coming to an end. This year too…
I have gone through my photos for this summer and my summer summary contains a lot of activities outside, in nature and by the sea in the archipelago. A great summer that started with a lot of rain in June and later turned into a fantastic summer with a lot of sunny days.
Here you will find a lot of photos in a gallery that tell a lot about this summer from a rain wet rose in June to sunny days by the sea. This summer has been amazing and the photos will be enjoyed for a long time:) I will come back to them during the winter, I think it is a great way to keep the summer feeling for a longer time.
Some of the photos have been on this blog in earlier posts but I think they have to be included in this summary, I hope you don't mind to enjoy them once more…
To watch the summer summary you can also click on one of the photos to enlarge them and to watch them in a carousel.
Sörmlandsleden; hiking trail with a view
Time for another stage on the hiking trail Sörmlandsleden
This time we chose a hiking trail close to the Baltic sea. We started walking close by the water from the small village "Nävekvarn".
Then we came to some smaller climbs which we had to climb to be able to enjoy the amazing views from above.
The hiking trail are prepared with some fire places, seats and also some windshields. We did not need any windshield this day, but it was nice to take a break by the sea and have some food and to dive into the water:)
Our walk continued into the forest… I must say the first half, by the sea was the nicest stage of this hiking trail. But I think the forest are a calming and nice place to be so it was absolutely OK to go that way. There are always the possibility to turn back and walk the same way, but I am glad we did not. This way we where offered a great variation in views and experiences through our day.
For more i formation about "Sörmlandsleden", please click on the link.
After rain -magic evening light
After rain, there is sunshine
Swedish people is always concerned about the weather. We talk about it almost everyday and everywhere. That means in the pub, in the office, in schools… I think it might have something to do with the fact that we can almost never trust the weather. There is just a few weeks of really great summer weather if we are lucky:)
And now for a few weeks we have had some shaky days with rain, sun, thunder, hail… Often when evening comes the rain stop and the sun breaks through all the clouds. And for me who loves great scenes and views this is awesome. The light is magic these evenings and the air feels all fresh. Some dramatic dark clouds combined with some sun makes wonderful subjects!
Another evening I visited our archipelago, and spotted some more dramatic skies. The rain stopped just before I arrived, and the sun came through. I enjoyed that visit a lot, below you can see some of the photos:
Weekly photo challenge: contrast
A contrast might be a lot of different things. It might be a color different from the surrounding or a shadow. I might also be a lonely flower in the street and so on.
To see more entries or to participate in this weeks challenge please click here.
Last evening I spent in one of my favorite places, situated in our archipelago. I went to a place where I have been many times, but it's always amazing. This time there where a light wind and wonderful sounds from the sea. I always love the views, the smell from water and also the calmness it brings me.
Our weather is a bit moody this summer. We noticed it had just rained before we got there but the sun just returned. It created a wonderful evening light with great skies.
Of to the challenge now… The first to photos shows the same place at winter and now when it's summer. You can spot a part of a cabin, that is where the lighthouse personnel lived during the years 1867-1954. The belfry were used to warn ships in misty weather.
Next photo shows the lighthouse, I like the contrast between manmade and nature.
The last photo for this challenge shows a silhouette of a man standing on a rock just beside the lighthouse.
Now it's time for a poll, please tell me which photo do you favor? You might use multiple choices. The poll is open until 10th of July 2014.

A great way to celebrate a new day
Celebrate a new day
The new day has just began. I leave home in an early hour, hardly awake. A song begins to sing all by itself in my head; "I give you the morning, I give you the day"… A beautiful song about love that makes my thoughts wake up. Is this a way to celebrate the new day; by driving almost sleeping on a bumpy road? When I could lie down beside someone dear and have some more hours sleep? Anyway, that is not the case right now and I better keep on driving to get this day over and done with.
I still can't let go of the song and it keeps singing in my head. And the morning is actually a beautiful morning. The sun has just risen and the surrounding nature shows all the pure and fresh beauty that only can be seen in an early spring morning. There is a place just beside the road, it's a small shore, well hidden from the crowd. In summertime you just get a glimpse of it between all the trees. In springtime it is more easy to spot.
– Well it's now or never…
I have been driving this road for 15 years and I have never got out of my car to enjoy the fantastic sea view. I park my car just above the small shore and walk down. It feels really relieving to walk in the sand. The early sun salute me good morning and the light is amazing. Some small islands can be spotted through the light haze.
I decide to sit down for a while, there on the shore. The minutes pass, but I don't care. Work will still be there… Small movement in the water. Sun reflecting from the sky. The scene is filled with hope, calmness and beauty. Now this is a great way to start a new day!

No Other Gods by Kelly Minter
Often, idols are obvious—money, power, fame. But subtler idols can sometimes take the form of sweet loved ones, Instagramable interiors, and busy seasons of ministry. But if your heart is prioritizing any of those pursuits before God, they are taking up space meant for Him alone. In this 8-session study, learn to identify the functional […]Find out more »

Against the Grain
Louisville's brewpub Against the Grain is not shy to the fact that they brew world-class beer. But it's not just phenomenal taste that make their beers rank top 100 in the world.
The iconic labels you'd recognise distributed throughout the U.S, Western Europe, Poland and Russia, are designed by Robby Davis. With 15 bottled beer designs to date, Davis is usually briefed with a product name, tasting notes and ingredients, but is then left to do what he does best - create.

Don't Wish To Be Defined By Your Age?
It has sometimes been said that getting older is inevitable, but that looking old is optional! Although we all age, we deal with it in different ways, with different results. So what are some of the secrets of those enviable people who manage to look far younger than their years?
Eating legumes like beans and lentils are a yummy and easy way to stay looking young. Beans are an amazingly rich source of minerals that will keep your skin looking its best. These minerals help your skin hydrate which in turn keeps you looking young for years to come.
Add vitamin D supplements to your diet to possibly helping slow aging. There is not a consensus yet on the research that shows it's affect. However, vitamin D has other benefits like helping our immune systems, helping the absorption of calcium and others that you might as well add it in even if the jury is still out on the getting older affects.
Developing good coping skills can improve the aging process. Finding the silver lining around the clouds in your life has been associated with a longer life. If you are not naturally an optimist, it's never too late to change. By focusing on the positive in your life, you can be positive you will age better.
If you want to age gracefully, then you should try to do something you like every day. By doing this, you will get fulfillment out of each and every day because you are doing something that you look forward to, which keeps you motivated to continue and keeps the enjoyment flowing.
Even if you have never had a massage in your life, go and get one on a regular basis. It is not only great for your body to get the blood flowing and the tense muscles relaxed, but it will also be good for the soul. It will feel great and leave you feeling wonderful and happy.
Sugar is one of the biggest factors in having a shorter life. Sugar can keep you from living a long life, and it promotes an intensified getting older process. There is a lot of scientific evidence showing that sugar can cause serious health problems. including shortening the lifespan of all animals.
Make sure you're having regular checkups with your doctor. As you're getting older, more and more things can go wrong with your body. If you're visiting your doctor regularly, they can spot small problems before they turn into big ones. They'll also be able to http://cristylscorazon.com/2015/01/ recommend changes to your routine to keep you looking younger and living longer.
Learn something new. There's an old saying that says, "you can't teach an old dog new tricks"; it's a myth. Get out there and take a class or develop a hobby. Not only will it occupy your time. Your brain will get a workout from the new information you're learning.
If you're getting up there in age, try asking your doctor about anti-growing older supplements. These are special vitamins and minerals that will give your body extra tools to keep you looking and feeling young. But they're not right for everyone, so check with your doctor before you start taking them.
One of the best ways to increase happiness and decrease stress is to enjoy the company of good friends! Especially as we age, good friendships can go a long way in improving moods and mental health and have even been shown to increase longevity! Get out often or invite friends over frequently to brighten not only your day but your prospects for health as well!
To help slow the process of aging, try to stay as active as possible, for your given circumstance. Sitting idly, will speed up muscular decay and before you know it, you will be stuck with a sedentary lifestyle. Even a lap around the block would be beneficial.
As we age, we like to reminisce. While being reminiscent, do not let your mind take guilt trips. Instead, take a trip to a favorite vacation spot or the mall. Have a trip on a cruise ship to exotic ports. Travel to a foreign country you have always wanted to visit. Guilt trips take you nowhere. Remember, you cannot undo what has already been done, so guilt trips are useless.
Everyone suffers from a certain amount of stress in their life, but in order to keep the growing older process slow and graceful, it's important to keep stress at bay. A great way to do this is by practicing relaxation techniques. There are a wide variety of techniques available including meditation, yoga and tai chi. Pick the method that you are most comfortable with and be sure to practice it several times a week to slow down the getting older process.
Remember, you are only as old as you feel. If you try to remain active and continue doing those things you enjoyed when you were younger, you will actually remain healthier and more fit than if you sit around. Don't act like a teenager, but do continue to participate in volunteer activities and sports that you enjoy.
Growing Older is a natural part of life, but that doesn't mean you have to look and feel horrible. These tips will give you a bit of an advantage to keep your body looking and feeling fit for many more years. Hopefully you've learned a few new tricks from this article. Good luck with your battle against time.

How do you know the differences between the arts and the humanities?
One answer: Here are the departments and programs in the College of Arts and Humanities:
Arts Departments:
Humanities Departments and Programs:
A better answer (we think): Should you even focus on the differences?
Both interpret the human experience through words or non-verbal forms of expression. It's true that the arts have more to do with the act of creation itself, whether through performance or the physical production of works, while the humanities have to do more with research and critical analysis. But it's important to be aware that both exist in every department or program (or individual) in the College of Arts and Humanities.
For example, an art historian probably would be considered primarily a humanist while a poet or creative writer in the English department probably would be considered an artist. But art history provides essential background to practicing artists, just as literary study provides essential background to creative writers. And as the 21st century moves forward, the distinctions between majors are becoming blurrier than ever before. Someone working in public relations, for example, probably has background in communication, English, art, business, and perhaps other fields as well. It is the crossovers and interactions among different departments and programs that make our college strong.
I've heard it's really hard to get a job if you've majored in the arts or humanities. Is this true?
Short answer: Not at all. People with skills gained from classes in the arts and humanities are in high demand and usually wind up with very desirable and rewarding careers.
Longer answer: A 2012 survey of employers conducted for the Association of American Colleges and Universities indicated that the top abilities employers seek from college graduates are:
All of these abilities are cultivated in the courses and activities that take place in the College of Arts and Humanities.
As Business Insider writer Max Nisen writes, arts and humanities majors should "be able to do things that machines can't do in a service economy". These are the skills that make things understandable, enjoyable, and possible for people.
So then what kinds of jobs exactly do arts and humanities graduates wind up getting?
Answer: The answer depends a lot on the personality, interests, and skills of the particular graduate. This includes classes taken, hobbies and interests, types of work experience, and personality. Finding the job that suits you well takes time, no matter what your major. The reason it takes time is because you need to work (with help from the Advising and Career Center and others) to identify aspects of the job description that relate to your background and interests, and articulate to the prospective employer how you would be a good fit.
Here are a few examples of things you see every day that probably were created by people (often as part of a collaborative group) who studied the humanities or arts:
