Connective Movements

Connective Movements describes the winding, associative thoughts gathered from long conversations with colleagues and internal dialogue with writers, philosophers, and filmmakers. Using the visual essay, I follow points of interest through labyrinthine and idiosyncratic logics. Collage and montage results in an assemblage of visual ideas both analytic and personal. Although the outputs vary, my body of work has been informed by a sustained inquiry into moving image with a focus on small moments and subjectivity: cloudwatching can spin into thoughts on communication, or simple, everyday words burrow into experience and memory. With this aim, I use the constituent parts of image, sequence, and narrative to cultivate spaces for extended interiority

The Culture-Responsibility Relationship in the Criminal Law of England and Wales

This thesis seeks to answer the question how should the criminal law of England and Wales respond to the relationship between culture and legal responsibility? It undertakes a socio-legal and interdisciplinary analysis of the relationship between culture and legal responsibility within the parameters of (i) the foundations, practice and policy of the criminal law of and criminal justice system in England and Wales; and (ii) understandings of multiculturalism as social reality, policy and philosophy within the socio-political system of the United Kingdom in the twenty first century. The analysis therefore draws on theory, practice and policy to develop a renewed and specifically nuanced ‘culture-responsibility relationship’, distinguishable from the ‘cultural defence’, and its importance for contemporary justice is established. Evidence is presented to confirm that the criminal law and criminal justice system of England and Wales manifest an absence of consistent and coherent engagement with culture and with the culture-responsibility relationship. Multicultural policy in turn manifests an absence of engagement with the criminal law. These omissions need to be addressed. A practical and policy-facing framework for the place of the culture-responsibility relationship in the criminal law and criminal justice system of England and Wales is therefore suggested. This reflects the current limits of the law and is intended as a starting point for ongoing dialogue

Social Networking and the Employment Relationship: Is Your Boss Creeping Up On You?

There are currently over 900 million Facebook users worldwide (and counting). With increased use of social networking comes new concerns for personal privacy and control of social networking information. More and more, Facebook activity trickles its way into offline contexts, perhaps none more so than the employment context. A new trend in the hiring process is social networking background checks, where some employers go so far as to request a candidate\u27s Facebook password. Not only this, but the frequency of Facebook activity resulting in employment law disputes is increasing, and has even been found to constitute sufficient grounds for discipline and termination. This thesis examines the current privacy protection given to social networking information in the context of the employment relationship, highlights problems with the current legal landscape in this regard, and offers an emerging theory, New Virtualism, as a conceptual basis for the regulation of this issue going forward
