COVID-19 and International Child Abduction: Children's Stories
This paper considers two recent High Court cases conducted remotely during the COVID-19 lockdown that concern international parental child abduction which is governed by the Hague Convention on Child Abduction 1980 (The Convention). The cases shed some light on the currency of the rights of children to participate in decisions around whether they should be returned to where they were living prior to the abduction.
The Convention’s purpose (stated in Article 1) is to secure the prompt return of a child if they have been wrongfully removed or retained by a parent
'It was suddenly hard winter':John Burnside's Crossings
John Burnside’s poetry and fiction presents the reader with an awkward, uncanny sense of Being. It achieves this through forcing on the reader moments of suspension—epoché in the sense given this word by German phenomenologist Edmund Husserl—which both present and enact shifts in perception of the relationship between self and other, subject and world, memory and the past, which discomforts in its suspension of narrative time as it opens up a phenomenological apperception of Being through the multiple figure of the act of crossing—between past and present, self and other, memory and forgetfulness. In each example there is an irreversible transformation of human understanding that foregrounds the condition of Being in its materiality

Shaping a New Type of Hearing: Training Future Lawyers in Online Mediation - insights from a pilot Project
The objective of the session is to provide an insight into the design and delivery of a wholly online mediation training suite that we have developed, written and delivered for our final year LLB Open University undergraduate law students. This interactive workshop will model aspects of the teaching methods and explore opportunities and challenges presented by exposing students to mediation training in an online environment.
Shaping a new type of Hearing: Training Future Lawyers in Online Mediation - insights from a pilot project
The objective of the session is to provide an insight into the design and delivery of a wholly online mediation training suite that we have developed, written and delivered for our final year LLB Open University undergraduate law students. The project forms part of Justice in Action, our distance learning clinical legal education module which supports students in the delivery of practical legal activities.
Clinical legal education is both experiential and participatory. Added to this, online mediation transcends geographic hurdles. We hope that our law students will become reflective professionals and this bite-size course aimed to encourage this. As mediation is increasingly embraced internationally and we move away from the traditional polarised litigated disputes, it is hoped that our future legal practitioners can work to produce fair outcomes that are owned and crafted by the disputants themselves. This project was designed to shape future lawyers’ aspirations and contributions to a just society by scaffolding effective online communication.
This interactive workshop will model aspects of this innovative teaching methodology and explore opportunities and challenges presented by exposing students to mediation training in an online environment.
Objectives
To describe the content of the three mediation training sessions in overview and the different approaches of lawyers and mediators - benefits/disadvantages identified by our students
- To demonstrate how we explored the ethical issues
- To explain how we incorporated a future focus
- To explain the design of the sessions themselves and the underlying pedagogy
- To explore the communication techniques considered in the sessions
- To share student insights into their experiences in the role play simulated mediation sessions
- To share the student observations on the advantages of online mediation
- To discuss how perceived barriers to online mediation such as the inability to read body language can be an advantage for participant

Dickens's London
Taking Walter Benjamin's Arcades Project as an inspiration, Dickens's London offers an exciting and original project that opens a dialogue between phenomenology, philosophy and the Dickensian representation of the city in all its forms. Julian Wolfreys suggests that in their representations of London - its streets, buildings, public institutions, domestic residences, rooms and phenomena that constitute such space - Dickens's novels and journalism can be seen as forerunners of urban and material phenomenology. While also addressing those aspects of the urban that are developed from Dickens's interpretations of other literary forms, styles and genres, Dickens's London presents in twenty-six episodes (from Banking and Breakfast via the Insolvent Court, Melancholy and Poverty, to Todgers and Time, Voice and Waking) a radical reorientation to London in the nineteenth century, the development of Dickens as a writer, and the ways in which readers today receive and perceive both
