Mahsood Shah; Anna Bennett; Erica Southgate
Chandos Publishing (Oxford) Ltd
2015
nidottu
Governments have introduced policies to widen the participation of disadvantaged students in higher education. Widening participation policies are also introduced to ensure that higher education contributes to social and economic outcomes. This book includes important insights from 23 leading scholars across 11 countries on a wide range of topics that focus on government policies, institutional structures and the social and economic impacts of widening participation. While widening participation policies and outcomes in developed countries are more widely documented, the policies, achievements, and challenges in other countries such as Brazil, China, Indonesia, South Africa and Palestine are not so widely disseminated. Therefore, the ‘untold stories’ of policies and outcomes of widening participation are a key part of this book. The chapters are organised according to three overarching themes, which include national and transnational studies of the history of widening participation and current policies; inclusive learning and academic outcomes; and socioeconomic structures, concepts and theories.
These essays were selected as finalists (and the grand prize winner) through our nonfiction essay writing contest held in 2017. The contest resulted in the selection of Michael Murray's essay taking the grand prize, and earning him the chance to write a full-length manuscript with publication by Unsolicited Press.

In the early 1970s, a teenager builds a small cruising catboat and heads out along the Maine coast.
Short poems 1970-2014 plus longerform poem "Spiral Harbor" and short story "River of winter".
Poetry comes in many guises, it can be written as a profession, with the poetic correctness that complies, or by the everyday multitude who write about anything and everything, with no boundaries to contain their skills. Poetry is often used to convey thoughts and messages that might not be acceptable in other forms. For the many who write poems for the pleasure of self expression, it is often triggered by the desire to record situation or subject in verse, where it can be any combination of truth and fantasy, often bing left for the reader to interpret. My poems have been compiled over many years, yet are mostly ageless: flowers that bloom to greet us will bloom again next year. The attraction of putting a twist in the tale of a poem is always a temptation and a challenge, yet it can often turn sadness into laughter. Poetry is the choice of the reader...I do hope that you may enjoy my humble compositions. -- Eric Bennett
During and just after World War II, an influential group of American writers and intellectuals projected a vision for literature that would save the free world. Novels, stories, plays, and poems, they believed, could inoculate weak minds against simplistic totalitarian ideologies, heal the spiritual wounds of global catastrophe, and just maybe prevent the like from happening again. As the Cold War began, highminded and wellintentioned scholars, critics, and writers from across the political spectrum argued that human values remained crucial to civilization and that such values stood in dire need of formulation and affirmation. They believed that the complexity of literature—of ideas bound to concrete images, of ideologies leavened with experiences—enshrined such values as no other medium could.Creative writing emerged as a graduate discipline in the United States amid this astonishing swirl of grand conceptions. The early workshops were formed not only at the time of, but in the image of, and under the tremendous urgency of, the postwar imperatives for the humanities. Vivid renderings of personal experience would preserve the liberal democratic soul—a soul menaced by the gathering leftwing totalitarianism of the USSR and the memory of fascism in Italy and Germany.Workshops of Empire explores this history via the careers of Paul Engle at the University of Iowa and Wallace Stegner at Stanford. In the story of these founding fathers of the discipline, Eric Bennett discovers the cultural, political, literary, intellectual, and institutional underpinnings of creative writing programs within the university. He shows how the model of literary technique championed by the first writing programs—a model that values the interior and private life of the individual, whose experiences are not determined by any community, ideology, or political system—was born out of this Cold War context and continues to influence the way creative writing is taught, studied, read, and written into the twentyfirst century.
