“It’s time” in Vancouver – Is equity the key to resolving the paradox of mobility pricing?
Abstract: Pricing has long been a challenge for transport policy and planning. Incomplete or inefficient pricing mechanisms cause a wide range of suboptimal outcomes, e.g. congestion, pollution and unfunded infrastructure liabilities - aka road socialism. A fiscal paradox underlies the challenges to introduce more effective pricing of car use, which may help fund public and active transport. Increased fuel efficiency and the rise of alternative fuel (electricity/hydrogen) would further reduce fuel tax income. Attempts to introduce new fiscal instruments on mobility has been defeated multiple times in Vancouver - a vehicle levy in 2001 and a referendum for a transit surtax in 2015. In spite of the defeats, a renewed effort has just begun. The Independent Mobility Pricing Commission has been established in 2017 to investigate new mobility pricing schemes (such as distance-based vehicle charges and road pricing), with a publicity campaign – It’s Time (https://www.itstimemv.ca/).
These initiatives offer unique opportunities to study the efforts to reprice urban mobility in a car-dominant urban region. This presentation provides the initial analysis of Vancouver’s latest attempt, with insights into the social and political barriers to acceptance of such schemes.
Dr Abraham Leung is a postdoctoral research fellow in Griffith University's Cities Research Institute. His research focuses mainly on urban socio-spatial equity problems, with specific interests in public transport infrastructure value capture, mobility pricing, and fuel (oil) price vulnerability. As a key member of his university’s transport research team, he also provides research-based advice to industry partners under the Transport Academic Partnership (TAP) agreement with the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads. He has recently won a Simon Fraser University/Griffith University Collaborative Travel Grant to research mobility pricing policy in Vancouver.

ERC=Science² Public Lecture - A Forgotten Transcultural Entertainment Industry
As part of the ERC=Science² project, a series of public lectures will showcase cutting edge research at the University of Leeds funded by the highly presitigous European Research Council. From atmospheric chemists to musical historians, ERC grant-holders have secured millions of euros of competitive EU funding to undertake frontier research and make groundbreaking discoveries here at the University of Leeds. Come and hear how this research is progressing and the impact it could have on you and the world around you.
Lecture 2: A Forgotten Transcultural Entertainment Industry, Professor Derek Scott - 15th March 2017
Early last century, popular music was promoted internationally by two large entertainment industries. One was based in New York and focused on dance-band music. The other was based in Berlin and concentrated on music for the stage—most of it categorized under the umbrella term “operetta.” Lehár’s The Merry Widow (1905) had been heard around the globe by 1910, and is still familiar. Most of the others are forgotten. Professor Derek Scott's ERC Advanced Grant project GOLNY (German Operetta in London and New York) investigates the massive enthusiasm for English versions of operettas from the German stage between 1907–38, when over 60 productions were given in the West End and over 70 on Broadway. The project is helping to develop a clearer understanding of the history of how the music business went global, and deepening our awareness of cosmopolitan culture

LITE Masterclass: Technoparticipation – Digital Realia Possibilities for Practice and Pedagogy
USING INNOVATIVE technology and digital learning spaces to drive student engagement is the focus of the latest LITE Masterclass.
Dr Lee Campbell, Senior Lecturer at the University of Lincoln, will deliver his interactive lecture: ‘Technoparticipation – Digital Realia Possibilities for Practice and Pedagogy’, which showcases aspects of his digital pedagogy.
He will specifically explore innovative technology enhanced learning methods developed during Fine Art modules at Lincoln and Academic Support at Central Saint Martins in London.
Dr Campbell says: “This lecture is part of a research informed teaching project I set up in 2015; the result of being the recipient of the Loughborough University Teaching Innovation Award.
“It focuses on interdisciplinary practice; combining disciplines often related to Performance and Fine Art and thinking across boundaries.
“The lecture aims to knit together theory and practice relating to interdisciplinary working and collaboration together; and explore generating creative performative works that lie formally and conceptually between established media.”
Dr Campbell will also explore applications as everyday digital realia – objects from everyday life – such as Skype, Textwall and Google Docs amongst others – to consider the benefits and drawbacks of using digital realia in the classroom.
This is the latest in a series of Masterclasses co-organised by Organisational Development and Professional Learning (ODPL), and the Leeds Institute for Teaching Excellence.
The Institute, now in its second year, provides funding, time and support for current and future student education leaders to develop their profile at the University and to carry out research and innovation projects with internal and external impact.
LITE Director Raphael Hallett, says: “We are in a privileged position at LITE to be able to introduce and showcase an array of prestigious academics and teaching innovators who are the cutting edge of their pedagogical fields.
“Dr Campbell is an award-winning academic in performative teaching and learning in the arts and his seminar on digital pedagogy and technology-enhanced learning will be of great interest for both staff and students.”

Narrating Policy - Challenging Narratives (Panel)
Due to unfortunate circumstances, the presenters for the other two papers had to withdraw at short notice.
* Gendered Narratives: Exploring the Cooccurrence of Autistic Spectrum Disorders and Gender Dysphoria* - Emily Maddox (University of Leeds)
There is an overrepresentation of people accessing gender clinics who have a pre-existing diagnosis of autism or autistic spectrum disorder (ASD). ASD is categorised as a neurological condition, with a narrative surrounding it which is overwhelming masculine. It is attached to an essential maleness and becomes an extreme and pathological version of the male brain. Thus, ASD becomes intimately connected to the gendered self of those diagnosed. Yet this essentialist position demands our considered when we consider, as Dan Goodley does, when autism is categorised as both a neurological condition and a learning disability this clearly positions it with the socio-political world. Likewise the over representation of autism in gender clinics is not being sufficiently examined in light of how autism acting as a gendered disciplinary technique interacts with and restricts gendered expression. There is little consideration of how the pathologised maleness of autism is interpreted by the person with autism who is struggling to construct a coherent gendered narrative of the self. This omission is echoed by the lack of policy determining ways to work with people who access gender clinics with both ASD and gender dysphoria. The dominant discourse of autism seems to restrict any serious interrogation of how the discursive formations of gender and autism interact with each other and the lack of policy reflects this which ultimately prevents a holistic care plan being constructed for those affected.

Narrating Policy - Independent Paper.
*The Narrative of Policy Change from ‘One Parent Families’ to ‘Jobseeker’s’: Ireland’s Social Protection Policy for Lone Parents from 2006 to 2015.* - Dr Michelle Millar and Dr Rosemary Crosse (NUI Gallaway)
This paper looks at the narrative of policy change from 2006 to 2015 in relation to lone parents and social protection policy in Ireland. Policy change for Irish lone parents in relation to activation was put forward in 1996 grounded in the belief that a labour market activation programme for this group will decrease levels of child poverty and provide greater returns to the exchequer. Eventually, the decision to introduce labour market activation for Irish lone parents was a condition of the Troika bailout of Ireland in terms of savings to be made and wider reform of social protection and was passed into law in 2010. Drawing on interviews with policymakers in 2007 and 2015, parliamentary debates, policy documents, press statements and newspaper articles, the policy narrative of labour market activation of lone parents in Ireland is analysed to reveal that rather than being a panacea for poverty levels the reform was about behavioural change grounded in a populist narrative of lone parents and welfare dependency. The narrative embodies themes of behavioural modification to end welfare dependency bound up in concepts of rights and responsibilities as opposed to social protection for a stigmatised group in Irish society.

Narrating Policy - Keynote by Hannah Jones (University of Warwick)
*Telling Tales: Policy and Performance in the Current “Crisis”*
The talk will draw on my recent collaborative project and forthcoming co-authored book which look at the performative politics of migration control in the UK through a focus on the effects of the Home Office’s communications on immigration from 2013-2015. It will develop this work and bring the analysis up to the current moment by discussing some of the ways in which politicians, media and the public have made sense of the assassination of Jo Cox in June 2016, the EU referendum result, and the ongoing deaths that form part of the ‘migrant crisis’, by drawing on narratives of belonging that both open up and close down possibilities for alternative political futures.

Narrating Policy - Narrative Methods, Methodology, Epistemology, and Modalities (Panel)
*Using Narrative Insights to Analyse the Politics of Social Policy Research* - Dr Harriet Clarke and Raquel Silva (University of Birmingham)
‘Narrative’ may be emergent in some areas of social policy analysis, yet it is an explicit mode of research presentation across academic disciplines and methodological approaches in the UK HEI environment. In the context of ‘impact narrative’ (as one powerful given mode for research narrative producers) we consider the potential of insights from narrative analysis to provide the social policy community tools to discuss, analyse and address what shapes our individual and institutional ways of presenting ourselves and our academic endeavours. Specific issues raised include (i) who tells research stories – who to, for what purpose and (ii) what narrative resources are used and produced (and perhaps not used / not produced) in the process. We argue that th potential contribution of a narrative lens is rooted in the politics of social research and that a narrative perspective can strongly enhance analysis of the research-policy field.
*Xenophobia to Understanding: Influencing the Narrative of Unaccompanied Refugee Children through Systemic Communication* - Pascal Tshibanda (University of Bedfordshire)
A multilevel communications project, with a relational (i.e. systemic) orientation in a Swedish borough council has proven to be an efficient tool to combat othering, prejudices and racism towards unaccompanied refugee children, or “bearded children” as they were called in the public debate. Sweden was the OECD's highest per capita recipient of asylum seekers until 2015 and in this particular rural small town, people from 116 different countries, speaking 156 different languages, reside. Global migration hence, present complex opportunities and challenges for local councils. This irreversible human global warming leave deep traces on everyday life for those who move, and those who receive them. The ethical posture that underpinned this communications project was to talk with rather than about unaccompanied refugee children. Public leadership and communication are hence intrinsic and interwoven elements in the creation of sustainable local communities of co-existence. The outcome was “I’m no longer afraid”, two storytelling videos, a photo exhibition and a photo book to combat narratives of ”failed multiculturalism” and the stigmatisation of vulnerable children on the move.

Narrating Policy - Second Independent Paper
*Excavating Concepts of Children and Childhood in Ireland (1900 – 1940) from an Historical Educational Policy Perspective* - Dr Thomas Walsh (Maynooth University)
Concepts of children and childhood are time specific and linked to wider contextual and societal issues (James and Prout, 1997; Jenks, 1998). Using narrative policy to provide a framework for historical documentary analysis (Bowen, 2009; Roe, 1994), this presentation will trace the changing conceptualisation of childhood in Ireland from an educational perspective in the opening decades of the twentieth century. The main policy artefact of exploration will be the successive primary school curricula from the era, specifically the Revised Programme of Instruction (1900) and the curricula developed in Ireland following the achievement of political independence in the 1920s. The presentation will focus in particular on the dramatic changes catalysed by the advent of political independence and interrogate through policy analysis the respective roles of the State (pre- and postindependence) and the churches in constructing and reconstructing this conceptualisation of childhood. The presentation will conclude with a review of the implications for children and society of this changing construction of childhood pre- and post-independence.

The digital transformation of Higher Education
Advances in technology are changing the face of many industries with the prolific use of new digital platforms, and Higher Education is no exception. The HE landscape is changing and it’s become more relevant than ever to develop new strategies to meet the changing needs of both students and universities in this evolving era.
In this keynote, Simon discusses:
- The key challenges currently facing higher education; achieving a credible digital strategy; driving student recruitment and meeting the shared objectives of universities and business in addressing the skills gap
- The pressure from governments and students to diversify learning delivery
- How social learning platforms like FutureLearn can help universities meet the digital needs of their students through the launch of our latest series of academic credit MOOCs with leading UK universities as well as professional qualifications
- Case studies of great learning design, examples of how existing university partners and corporates are integrating online learning into their existing education plans, and highlights of courses that have really made a difference in the world today.
- And, finally some thoughts on what the future looks like for edtech.
