The WASS Collective: Gender Transformations in Higher Education

This paper offers a critical perspective on issues around gender and sexual transformation within the context of UK Higher Education. Drawing on qualitative data carried out by undergraduate and postgraduate students, the analysis explores some of the diverse and often challenging ways in which young/er women and men are thinking and talking about gender, sexuality and feminism, as well as their strategies for turning ideas into political action. The research focuses on the activities and opinions of students belonging to an anti-sexist organisation within one UK university, who are engaged in campaigns to raise awareness about the damaging effects of gender and sexual inequalities, as well as promoting the popular appeal of contemporary feminisms. Locating the voices and research findings of the students themselves at the centre of the discussion, the paper is produced collaboratively between students and teachers who are involved in both the activist and research elements of this project. The paper also argues for (and provides evidence of) the transformative potential of alternative and critical forms of student engagement and student/ staff collaboration in relation to gender informed academic activism.Feminism, Post-Feminism, Anti-Sexism, Higher Education, Activism, Academic Activism, Praxis, Critical Pedagogy, Collaborative Methods

AGENCY- LIABILITY OF PRINCIPAL FOR TORTS OF AGENT-APPARENT AUTHORITY

Defendant regularly delivered goods to plaintiff C. O. D. Lambert was employed by defendant to deliver such goods and collect for them, and for this purpose he was given blank re6eipts which he was authorized to fill out and sign upon being paid for the goods. The usual course of business was for Lambert to deliver to plaintiff\u27s shipping clerk who signed the delivery bill, and then collect from plaintiff\u27s cashier who was stationed in another room. Plaintiff\u27s cashier never asked to see this delivery bill, but always took Lambert\u27s word as to the amount due. For a period of three and a half years Lambert made excessive collections and often charged for goods that were never received or sent by defendant. This money was kept by Lambert. The court found that Lambert knowingly and fraudulently made false representations as to the amount due, that plaintiff rightfully and in good faith relied on such representations, that Lambert was acting within the scope of his employment and within his apparent authority, and that plaintiff in no way negligently contributed to the damage. Held, defendant is liable to plaintiff for the excess amounts paid in pursuance to the false representations by Lambert that such amounts were payable. Ripon Knitting Works v.

The Belgian NGO landscape and the challenges of the New Aid Approach: dealing with fragmentation and emerging complexities

Belgium's Non-Governmental Organisations (NGO)-sector embodies some of the country's most distinctive characteristics. Two of its main features are the affiliation of many organisations to one of the societal pillars and the divergence of the NGO-landscape on the different sides of the language border. A high degree of fragmentation is the result of these traits, which manifests itself internally in a scattering of small organisations and externally in a dispersion of NGOs' aid in the south. Past attempts of the bilateral aid agency to alleviate this ineffective situation have only been partially succesful. Currently however the aid effectiveness debate is increasingly putting pressure on official and private aid actors to rethink the current practices of the non-governmental channel. Conflicting tendencies influence this debate, and in this chapter we aim to identify the elements that push the advance for a more effective Belgian NGO-sector, and those that possess the potential to obstruct it.
