International Conference on Professional Doctorates

Cavendish Conference Centre, London (Jointly hosted by Middlesex University & the UK Council for Graduate Education)

9th & 10th November 2009

Many countries are now responding to the demands of professional people at work by providing funding that engages with the needs of employers and people at work. Universities in many countries have responded by providing a wider range of postgraduate opportunities. In the last fifteen years there has been a steady growth of Professional Doctorates that focus on professional areas of learning. This has led to the development of new learning relationships between higher education and 'work'. Doctorate programmes have emanated from a range of educational practices that are now reshaping themselves towards new epistemologies and ways of thinking about learning.

This international conference seeks to address issues surrounding these new learning relationships and the many ways that higher education, professional associations, businesses and other stakeholders are creating new educational opportunities.

If you are interested in participating in the International Conference on Professional Doctorates and have a paper you wish to present we are inviting contributions that relate to one or more of the Conference themes, please visit the conference website (http://www.ukcge.ac.uk/profdocs) for details.

Further information, including booking and registration can also be found by visiting http://www.ukcge.ac.uk/profdocs

New Journal on Oscar Wilde

I have established a free monthly electronic journal for the exchange
of information on current research, publications and productions
concerning Oscar Wilde and his circle. Since May it has attracted
237 subscribers, the vast majority teaching members of English
Departments in some 130 universities worldwide.

I am particularly anxious to reach Ph.D. students working on Wilde
who can use our Work in Progress and Notes & Queries sections. To
subscribe one has only to send an e-mail to oscholarship@ireland.com,
including e-mail address, actual name if the e-mail name is a nom de
courrier electronique, and university affiliation.

'Manuscript' Journal - Manchester University

ManuScript is the journal run by postgraduate students of the Department of English and American Studies at the University of Manchester. Contributions are welcomed not only by students from the department, but by postgraduates from other universities. It is a refereed academic journal.

They are currently revamping the structure of both the journal and the website to be more reflective of the university experience. They are aiming to expand the journal to be more broadly reflective of the available range of MA courses available, placing a greater emphasis on creative writing. There will also be an expanded reviews section, looking not only at academic works, but also fiction, and the Arts in Manchester.

Please contact them via e-mail if you have any questions about the journal or wish to become involved. See the Contact Us page to direct your enquiry to a more specific member of the editorial team.

This website is fully operational, though some areas are still under construction.
