SUMMARY:Fractured Union\, Professor Michael Kenny
DESCRIPTION:As part of our new series of events on Constitutional Futures\, we welcome Professor Michael Kenny\, Director of the Bennett Institute for Public Policy at Cambridge University.6-6.30 drinks reception\n6.30-7.30 Seminar followed by Q&A\nProfessor Kenny will be discussing his new book\, ‘Fractured Union’ which addresses the pressing question of the United Kingdom’s survival\, a topic now at the forefront of British politics.\nThis book uncovers the roots of today’s crisis\, revealing MPs’ and civil servants’ assumptions in their understanding of the Union\, and profound pessimism within politics about its long-term viability.\n \nFractured Union description\nThe question of the United Kingdom’s survival\, once taken for granted\, looms large in British politics. This book uncovers the roots of today’s crisis\, revealing MPs’ and civil servants’ assumptions in their understanding of the Union\, and profound pessimism within politics about its long-term viability.\nWhy has the political class struggled to engage productively with devolution? Has English voters’ disenchantment with a detached central government influenced how politicians and bureaucrats regard the UK’s future? How have seismic events fuelled tensions between Westminster and devolved administrations\, from the SNP’s election and independence referendum to Brexit and Covid? And what now?\nFractured Union offers a vivid account of the gradual loss of British unity\, illuminating the forces and pressures now shaping the future of both nations and peoples. As nationalism rises across Scotland\, Wales\, Northern Ireland and England\, this book issues a sharp challenge to those who believe in a united kingdom: deliver better\, more responsive government—or risk the UK falling apart.\nFurther information: https://www.hurstpublishers.com/book/fractured-union/

SUMMARY:‘Fractured Union’\, Professor Michael Kenny
DESCRIPTION:Yn rhan o’n cyfres newydd o ddigwyddiadau ar Ddyfodol Cyfansoddiadol\, rydym yn croesawu’r Athro Michael Kenny\, Cyfarwyddwr Sefydliad Bennett ar gyfer Polisi Cyhoeddus ym Mhrifysgol Caergrawnt.6-6.30 derbyniad diodydd\n6.30-7.30 Darlith\nBydd yn trafod ei lyfr newydd\, ‘Fractured Union’ sy’n mynd i’r afael â’r cwestiwn dybryd o oroesiad y Deyrnas Unedig\, pwnc sydd bellach ar flaen y gad o ran gwleidyddiaeth Prydain.\nMae’r llyfr hwn yn datgelu gwreiddiau argyfwng heddiw\, gan ddatgelu tybiaethau ASau a gweision sifil yn eu dealltwriaeth o’r Undeb\, a phesimistiaeth ddwys o fewn gwleidyddiaeth am ei hyfywedd tymor hir..\nFractured Union disgrifiad\nMae’r cwestiwn am oroesiad y Deyrnas Unedig\, rhywbeth a oedd yn cael ei gymryd yn ganiataol o’r blaen\, yn un pwysig iawn yng ngwleidyddiaeth Prydain. Mae’r llyfr hwn yn datgelu gwreiddiau argyfwng heddiw\, gan ddatgelu tybiaethau ASau a gweision sifil yn eu dealltwriaeth o’r Undeb\, a phesimistiaeth ddwys o fewn gwleidyddiaeth am ei hyfywedd tymor hir.\nPam mae’r dosbarth gwleidyddol wedi ei chael hi’n anodd ymgysylltu’n gynhyrchiol â datganoli? A yw siomedigaeth pleidleiswyr o Loegr â llywodraeth ganolog ddatgysylltiedig wedi dylanwadu ar sut mae gwleidyddion a biwrocratiaid yn ystyried dyfodol y DU? Sut mae digwyddiadau seismig wedi sbarduno tensiynau rhwng San Steffan a’r gweinyddiaethau datganoledig\, o refferendwm annibyniaeth ac etholiad yr SNP i Brexit a Covid? A beth nawr?\nMae Fractured Union yn cynnig disgrifiad byw o golli undod Prydain yn raddol\, gan egluro’r grymoedd a’r pwysau sydd bellach yn siapio dyfodol cenhedloedd a phobloedd. Wrth i genedlaetholdeb gynyddu ar draws yr Alban\, Cymru\, Gogledd Iwerddon a Lloegr\, mae’r llyfr hwn yn cyhoeddi her lem i’r rhai sy’n credu mewn teyrnas unedig: mae angen cyflwyno llywodraeth well\, fwy ymatebol—neu bydd perygl y bydd y DU yn chwalu.\nRhagor o wybodaeth: https://www.hurstpublishers.com/book/fractured-union/

SUMMARY:Exploring Lived Time and The Lifeworld as Analytical Frameworks to Understand Working-Class Student Experiences
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Toni Beardmore (Aberystwyth University)This presentation introduces the idea of using the lifeworld existential ‘lived time’ as an analytical framework to explore the experiences of working-class students in university. There has been a dearth of research using lifeworld existentials to explore the interplay between working-class identities and higher education\, and this research aims to demonstrate how it can be used to explore narratives which extend beyond statistical data.\nThrough a phenomenological lens\, this research delves into the subjective\, temporal\, and existential dimensions of working-class students’ lived experiences. It provides a nuanced understanding of how these students navigate challenges unique to their working-class habitus\, understand and construct identity\, and interpret their place in the field of higher education\, whilst considering the temporal dimension as an essential aspect of their educational journey.\nThis research argues that lifeworld existentials provides a holistic approach to understanding factors shaping the working-class student journey\, and thus contributes to a better understanding of their lived experience in higher education\, and educational narratives.\nIf you have any queries please email: WISERD.events@cardiff.ac.uk or telephone: 029 2087 5260.
