"Applied Theatre: Research" is the first book to consolidate
thinking about applied theatre as research through a thorough
investigation of ATAR as a research methodology. It will be an
indispensable resource for teachers and researchers in the area.The
first section of the book details the history of the relationship
between applied theatre and research, especially in the area of
evaluation and impact assessment, and offering an examination of
the literature surrounding applied theatre and research. The book
then explores how applied theatre as research (ATAR) works as a
democratic and pro-social adjunct to community based research and
explains its complex relationship to arts informed inquiry,
Indigenous research methods and other research epistemologies. The
book provides a rationale for this approach focusing on its
capacity for reciprocity within communities. The second part of the
book provides a series of international case studies of effective
practice which detail some of the key approaches in the method and
based on work conducted in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and
the South Pacific. The case studies provide a range of cultural
contexts for the playing out of various forms of ATAR, and a
concluding chapter considers the tensions and the possibilities
inherent in ATAR.This is a groundbreaking book for all researchers
who are working with communities who require a method that moves
beyond current research practice.
Much more than an archive, these are the vivid, still pertinent
voices and messages of the pioneers worldwide. The nineteen
articles chosen by the editors of Applied Theatre Research
represent key themes and elements from the early days of applied
theatre that are still – and indeed now more than ever –
relevant. They are all high-quality articles, some of which were
highly influential in their own time. All of them still have plenty
to say to today’s applied theatre, both in their own terms and
sometimes in terms of how their publication influenced the
development at the time of this still-expanding field, or refracted
it in ways that give us new insights with hindsight. They have been
arranged in sections according to some of the key themes – and
problematic issues – that were discovered, thought out and
sometimes stumbled across by the pioneer writers in the collection.
Each section is preceded by a critical editorial commentary on
those themes, besides thorough introductions to all the articles
and in some cases re-evaluations. The editors have added
substantial additional new material to the collection and in doing
so, bring their own applied theatre experience to bear on these
themes, as they raise general questions that are wide-ranging,
contemporary and urgent: from the vital and contested issues of
power, partnerships and the giving of voice through theatre to
applied theatre’s proactive response to COVID-19, to the need to
identify, take account of and address the needs of all stakeholders
in any applied theatre project. The articles are grouped in
six sections, covering areas such as diversity of geography,
community contexts, forms of applied theatre and organizational
factors that characterize applied theatre; the definition and
nature of applied theatre; how the best intentioned projects could
be compromised by any of the many opportunities for applied theatre
to go wrong; opportunities for change it can offer and the
incorporation of new media technologies, and ethnographic
performance, two factors that have now become major preoccupations
for our field, particularly in the years since the articles were
written. The final section recognizes that applied theatre has been
around not for 30 years, but for thousands, and in countless
cultures. The editorial chapters have strong connections with the
rest of the book, but are written with the editors’ deep insights
into the field, and are sharp in their focus and context. The book
offers useful insights into the start of applied theatre and its
development as an area of practice and research. The chapter
collection is relevant and includes influential names in the field
who have contributed significantly to the development of applied
theatre over time. The primary market will be academics and
advanced practitioners in applied theatre, drama education and
theatre studies – including the expanding fields of drama
therapy, theatre and health etc. It will also be useful for
educators exploring creative pedagogy and drama in education
strategies across the curriculum. It will be valuable
introductory background reading for advanced undergraduate and
post-graduate students in drama, theatre studies and theatre arts,
performance studies and community theatre. Â
The Routledge Companion to Drama in Education is a comprehensive
reference guide to this unique performance discipline, focusing on
its process-oriented theatrical techniques, engagement of a broad
spectrum of learners, its historical roots as a field of inquiry
and its transdisciplinary pedagogical practices. The book
approaches drama in education (DE) from a wide range of
perspectives, from leading scholars to teaching artists and school
educators who specialise in DE teaching. It presents the central
disciplinary conversations around key issues, including best
practice in DE, aesthetics and artistry in teaching, the histories
of DE, ideologies in drama and education, and concerns around
access, inclusivity and justice. Including reflections, lesson
plans, programme designs, case studies and provocations from
scholars, educators and community arts workers, this is the most
robust and comprehensive resource for those interested in DE's
past, present and future.

Slow wonder bears witness to the possibilities of the imagination.
In a series of letters the authors playfully imagine alternatives
to current orthodoxies that privilege technocratic approaches to
education that have strangled discussion about what it might mean
to make education good and right, or even beautiful. The authors
position the imagination as a powerful site of resistance within
education and academic life. They unpack their philosophical
positionings through vignettes of their teaching practice, poetry
written as reflective musings and discursive theoretical pieces,
including letters they have written to others. They attempt to
marry the poetic and the academic, the rational and the affective,
to model a slow approach to wondering about the joy, beauty and
possibilities of life. In this spirit, they contemplate new ways to
think and live in education.
Electronic information distribution has become undeniably important
in the hospitality and tourism sectors. Using a combination of
narrative, analysis and case studies, this text traces the origins
of electronic distribution in tourism and places current
developments in context, while also looking at developing
technologies and assessing their potential effect on the industry
of the future. It is written from a managerial (rather than a
technical) perspective, and takes an international approach with
worldwide analysis and case studies encompassing Europe and the USA
as well as the global marketplace. These include discussions of the
distribution strategies of companies such as SABRE, Group Accor,
Holiday Inn, Utell International, Best Western, as well as
examinations of developing systems such as TIS, Gulliver,
TravelWeb, Microsoft Expedia, Degriftour, Imminus and THG.
Developments in all sectors of the tourism and hospitality
industries are explored, but particular emphasis is placed on the
accommodation product, illustrating its information distribution
through each of the different systems.

The Black-Scholes model was a revelation and took a large step
forward in terms of mathematical application in quantitative
finance. An empirical trait is that the model has generally been
used by practitioners in an ad-hoc fashion. This may explain why
actual option prices have rarely converged to respective
Black-Scholes estimates. Empirical options research has highlighted
systematic biases within the model and has attempted to correct for
these by proposing models that offer greater consistency in both
internal processes and pricing performance. In this thesis, we
explore the fundamental reasons for failure in the Black-Scholes
and analyse the benefit of augmenting the model for processes that
may be more consistent with the real world. We place emphasis on
consistency between the option-implicit distribution of the
underlying asset and the actual implicit distribution of the
underlying asset. Using a three year FTSE 100 option dataset, we
quantitatively examine the pricing consistency and reliability of
such augmented models.
This is the second part of a series that has been established to
reprint all the volumes of The Japan Year Book, first published in
the pre-war period. - Launched in 1905 and edited by Yoshitaro
Takenobu, a professor of Waseda University and a founding editor of
The Japan Times, The Japan Year Book was one of the most
influential periodical sources of information on Japan in the early
20th century and was widely used and cited by overseas journalists,
scholars, and authors. - Despite its fame and importance, very few
libraries-even in Japan-hold the early volumes of the Year Book in
their collections. This long-awaited new reprint will therefore be
especially welcomed by libraries seeking to fill these gaps.
