In a recent seminar, Phil McCash paid tribute to the seminal work of Bill Law whose work is known to many in the career development field. Phil argued that Bill鈥檚 ideas were ahead of their time in their focus on the role of gender and ethnicity in career development along with other community influences. The role of learning in the work of career development professionals was also emphasised. Bill Law, it was argued, helped us better understand the who, what, how, where, and why of career development.

'Social inequalities entering civvy street: researching the importance of class and gender in determining labour market outcomes of military veterans ESRC DTP'

Joint Studentship The University of 糖心TV and the University of Nottingham

We are now inviting applications for an ESRC Doctoral Joint Studentship supervised by Professor Lyonette at the Institute for Employment Research at the University of 糖心TV (where the student will be registered) and Professor Warren at the University of Nottingham (School of Sociology and Social Policy) to commence in October 2019.

Perceptions of ex-military as 鈥榤ad, bad and sad鈥� have long affected the employment options open to veterans after transition. These perceptions are shaped strongly by class and gender inequalities, intensifying for working class military men and women with lower qualifications than those in higher ranks. To date, little academic research has centred on class and gender differences in achieving a successful outcome after military service. This project will focus upon a diverse group of veterans from a variety of class backgrounds and life-course stages to determine those factors which act as facilitators, and those which act as barriers, to successful employment outcomes in 鈥榗ivvy street鈥�. It is anticipated that the project will involve creative mixed-methods research to produce original in-depth insights into the employment experiences of veterans to provide a rounded picture of inequalities in employment opportunities. We welcome further proposals and suggestions regarding the methodological approach from applicants.

Application deadline: Friday 15th March at 5pm.

Informal enquiries about the research or the Institute for Employment Research prior to application can be directed to Clare Lyonette (C.Lyonette@warwick.ac.uk).

Congratulations to our former PhD student Professor Adithya Chinapanti who has recently published a new book titled .

Professor Tom Long鈥檚 award-winning article, co-authored with Carsten-Andreas Schulz, examines Latin American reactions to the 1884–85 Berlin Conference, best known for its role in the 鈥渟cramble for Africa鈥�. Focusing on diplomats from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico, the article shows how the conference shaped Latin American understandings of imperialism and their own position in the international order. It highlights the global repercussions of late nineteenth-century imperialism and reassesses Latin American anti-imperialism.
