ANNUAL REVIEW 2002/3

An Annual Review is an appraisal of achievements and developments, challenges

and breakthroughs. It is an opportunity to pause and reflect and, in particular,

to praise success.

This year, it is especially timely to celebrate the University’s successes.

Professor Robin Williams retired as Vice-Chancellor at the end of September

after leading the University for nine years; the many achievements

documented in this review are a tribute to his leadership over these years.

Robin Williams’ legacy is a University with sound finances, research

strengths, and academic programmes which provide a quality

platform on which to build.

I am ambitious for this University. Swansea University must continue

to grow as a research-led University of international quality, offering

career-enhancing courses in a community environment that

stimulates and challenges us all, students and staff.

The recent government White Paper makes it clear that it will be

increasingly competitive within the UK to achieve world-class status.

In particular, the White Paper implies growing concentration of

research funding and increasing differentiation between research-led

and primarily teaching-orientated universities. This Annual Review

demonstrates our commitment to being a research-led university

with both teaching and knowledge transfer activities drawing

strongly upon the research underway on campus.

International competition is also defining the market for higher

education. A class of institutions is emerging world-wide which

is international in its outlook, strong in research, but where each

university has a distinctive identity based on its own hinterland.

This University could not be more fortunate in its location and

the support it is receiving from its various stakeholders, including the

City and County of Swansea, the NHS, the Welsh Development Agency,

and the Welsh Assembly Government.

Cities with an international university in their midst gain a competitive edge;

not only can the university act as a powerhouse for the regional economy,

but it is also a doorway to the world for people and ideas – higher education

is a global business. The University has an important role to play in the

economic transformation of Swansea and South West Wales and in enhancing

our quality of life. It is becoming a strategic hub for the development of

industrial, business and community relationships across entrepreneurship,

innovation, research and development, training and consultancy, skills development, and

technology transfer. This network of relationships will be further strengthened as the university

continues to develop the excellence of its research and teaching.

Amongst Swansea University’s many distinctive strengths is its established international

reputation in engineering, the physical sciences and languages. These and other strengths

have been reinforced by the key developments over the last year: the Digital Technium at

the heart of the campus; the development of the Swansea Clinical School and the move

towards a new medical school for Wales with a Graduate-Entry Medical course starting in

September 2004; the establishment of the all-Wales Nanotechnology Centre; and the new

Wales National Pool Swansea.

Developments such as these will continue to benefit our staff and our students in terms of

research and, as a natural consequence, the quality of our teaching. They will also attract

future students. Student numbers have already exceeded the university’s targets in the last

two years and this is a trend I am certain will continue.

In writing this foreword, I am conscious that my attention as the new Vice-Chancellor must

be focused upon the future. I look forward to the challenges ahead and I am convinced

that the university has the potential to achieve even more. The task now is to build upon

our strengths, capitalising on the intellectual vigour evident in this report.

Professor Richard B. Davies

Vice-Chancellor

Swansea University, along with UK Higher Education faced many challenges in 2002/3.

A major change for the University was the appointment of a new Vice-Chancellor.

A selection committee interviewed a shortlist of five strong candidates, and was

unanimous in deciding to offer the position to Professor Richard B. Davies.

Professor Davies accepted the invitation and joined us on 1st June 2003 in the

capacity of Vice-Chancellor designate, taking over from Professor Robin Williams

on the 1st October 2003. During this period they worked together harmoniously

to effect a seamless changeover in the autumn.

Another change to the University occurred in December 2002, with the

retirement of Vice-President Fred Kingdom. He received Life Membership

of Court in recognition of his nine-year service. Treasurer Alun Walters was

elected to fill the vacancy.

I am very proud of all that the University has achieved in the last twelve

months, and I would like to highlight three matters of especial significance.

First, this year saw the acceptance of our plans for the creation of a

Graduate Entry-Medical Degree to be taught at Swansea. This joint

venture with the University of Wales College of Medicine follows the

highly successful launch of the Swansea Clinical School.

Second, the year witnessed the restructuring of the five Departments

of Engineering into a single unified School that has benefited from

major refurbishment of large parts of its accommodation with

Science Research Infrastructure Funding (SRIF).

Third, the Welsh Assembly Government called for greater collaboration

and restructuring of provision between higher education institutions which

has led to significant changes. Council approved a proposal to transfer

the Teacher Training element of the Education Department, into a new

Swansea School of Education based at Swansea Institute of Higher Education.

The new proposal is to be jointly sponsored by the University and the Institute.

Council has further agreed that the University should work with the Institute

to rationalise the provision of Law and Nursing courses in the two institutions.

Detailed implementation plans are being drawn up to bring these

proposals to fruition from the start of the academic year 2004/5.

Council wishes to record its profound gratitude to Professor Williams for his

outstanding contribution to the development of the University over the last

nine years. He leaves us well placed to take forward new initiatives on the

foundations he has established.

We look to the future under the leadership of Professor Davies with

enthusiastic anticipation.

Dirac’s Nobel prize-winning work, which

underpins much of quantum physics and

chemistry and is one of the great intellectual

achievements of the twentieth century,

is the inspiration behind the success

of ground-breaking research at

Swansea University.

This year, marking the centenary of Dirac’s

birth, Professor Mike Charlton and his team

of physicists have developed the first

controlled production of atomic antimatter

– effectively making it a solid concept.

In creating anti hydrogen at CERN (the

European Laboratory for Particle Physics

in Geneva) Professor Mike Charlton and

his team, as part of the international

antihydrogen collaboration called

ATHENA, have achieved the distinction

of producing an antiatom that survives

long enough to be studied.

Their expertise allows the combination

of positrons (antielectrons) and antiprotons

in a special trap to create isolated

antihydrogen for the first time. This will

then be subjected to characterisation by

high-precision laser spectroscopy allowing

scientists to make a detailed comparison

of antimatter and matter in the hope

of reaching an understanding of why

nature seems to have a preference

for one over the other.

Professor Mike Charlton said: "According

to what is known as the Standard Model,

the two types of atomhydrogen and

antihydrogen – are equivalent, like mirror

images. The Big Bang should therefore

have produced both in equal amounts.

In searching for differences between the

two types of atom we might be able to

explain why our universe is dominated

by one and bereft of the other."

In order to make an antiatom, the team

first had to trap, cool and collect positrons

and antiprotons in an ultra-high vacuum at

a temperature approaching absolute zero.

Metal electrodes with various potentials

applied made an electric field in the

vacuum, which, together with a strong

magnetic field confined the ingredients.

The Swansea team designed, built and

ran this positron trap.

The subatomic particles were then

slowly allowed to mix by lowering a

potential barrier between them,

effectively sprinkling the antiprotons into

a dense positron cloud. As the antiparticles

interacted, the first and simplest antiatom,

antihydrogen emerged.

Race to CompareMatter and Antimatter

"We are now just at the very

beginning," said Professor

Charlton. "Physicists all over

the world are effectively

engaged in a race to complete

a detailed comparison of

matter and antimatter."

More than seventy years ago, motivated by the mathematical beauty of an equation,

the British physicist Paul Dirac amazed the world by predicting the existence of antiparticles.

These, said Dirac, would have properties opposite to the particles making up the ordinary

matter of the universe.

The earth's climate is driven by a number of external ‘forcing’ mechanisms, the most

important of which is radiation received from the sun. Attempts to model the earth's

climate are complicated by the various interactions and feedbacks that take place

between the atmosphere, oceans and land surface, which make the system as a whole

more complex and highly non-linear. For example, the world's forests, savannahs and other

plant communities evolve continuously in response to climatic forcing, but the resultant

changes to the land surface amplify or dampen the initial effect.

A figure of cultural contestation and

gender/sex interrogation at the turn of

the nineteenth century, the New Woman

emblemised the degeneration of society

for some and the advent of modernity

for others. Dr Heilmann’s monographs

– New Woman Fiction: Women Writing

First-Wave Feminism (2000) and New Woman

Strategies: Sarah Grand, Olive Schreiner,

Mona Caird (to be published) – establish

the close connection between fin-de-siècle

(‘first-wave’) feminist writing and

contemporary (‘second-wave’) feminist

theory and are the first studies to explore

the poetics of New Woman writing. Her

essay collections address the prominence

of Black, European, Asian and multicultural

perspectives. Her two special journal issues

and three anthologies have opened up

the field to emerging scholars in making

available a wide range of source

and archival material.

Dr Heilmann has a keen interest in

inter-disciplinarity, and this is reflected in

the ‘Hystorical Fictions: Women, History,

Authorship’ conference she organised

this summer with research student,

Mark Llewellyn.

Attended by 181 delegates representing

24 countries, ‘Hystorical Fictions’ boasted

a programme of 135 papers on women’s

history and world literatures from the Middle

Ages to the 21st century. Keynote speeches

were delivered by Dr Stevie Davies, the

Director of Swansea’s Creative Writing MA;

Patricia Duncker, Professor of Creative

Writing at the University of East Anglia; and

‘Jay Taverner’, the pseudonym of Professor

Jackie Bratton (Royal Holloway) and Jane

Traies. The conference generated over

£25,000 of income and marked the launch

of GENCAS (www.swan.ac.uk/english/gender),

based in the English Department, which

brings together researchers from across

the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences.

Current plans include the implementation

of a new interdisciplinary MA scheme in

Gender and Culture and a University

of Wales-wide research symposium

on ‘Gender/ing the Subject’.

The Environmental Modelling and Earth

Observation group in the Department

of Geography, led by Professor Mike

Barnsley, has just been awarded

Centre of Excellence status by the

Natural Environment Research

Council to study the operation

of these feedback mechanisms

at regional to global scales.

The award was won in open competition

with other UK universities and research

institutes and brought with it £2.15 million

in core research funding over five years.

This has been used to set up the Climate

and Land Surface Systems Interaction

Centre (CLASSIC), a collaborative

centre based at Swansea. The new

centre focuses on reducing uncertainty

in the assessment of the effects of

climate change using data from

Earth observation satellites.

As part of the CLASSIC initiative,

Professor Barnsley's group, which includes

Dr Sietse Los, Dr Peter North and Dr Adrian

Luckman, are working closely with

colleagues at the Hadley Centre for

Climate Prediction and Research, the

NERC Centre for Ecology and Hydrology,

and the University of Durham to develop

new schemes for representing the land

surface in the Hadley Centre's climate

model. The group is also closely involved

with a number of satellite-sensor companies,

including Sira Electro-Optics Ltd, to

develop a new generation of ‘smaller,

Third Mission Activity

The University’s Knowledge Exploitation

Centre together with UWS Ventures, the

University’s commercial arm, has overseen a

sharp increase in knowledge transfer activity

including training and consultancy services,

the development of spin-out companies

from research and the carrying out of

contract research.

These successes have been recognised

this year with the allocation of a grant

of £550,000 from the Higher Education

Economic Development fund, an increase

of 38% on the previous year’s figure.

The University’s involvement in the

Technium programme, from concept

through partnership to delivery, has been

further strengthened with the construction

of Digital Technium on campus.

The £4.3 million building will contain

research laboratories for digital science,

incubator centres providing opportunities

for new enterprise, space for partners from

the private sector and a state-of-the-art

virtual reality cave linked with the University’s

School of Engineering and Department of

Computer Science. The new Department

of Media and Communication Studies will

also be housed within the building.

Partners include Sony, IBM, Agilent,

Mitel and Tinopolis.

The Technium concept creates a direct

channel to Centres of Excellence in Wales

for new and fledgling enterprises, high-tech

spin-outs and knowledge based-companies

seeking research collaboration. Centres of

Excellence within the University bridge the

gap between academic know-how and

industrial requirements.

They include the Centre for Complex Fluids

Processing; the Centre for Computation

and Simulation; the Power Electronics

Design Centre; the Materials Centre; the

Centre for Communications and Software

Technologies; and the Welsh School of

Printing and Coating.

A candidate for future Centre of Excellence

status is Aquaculture Wales (AqWa) whose

aim, to develop a sustainable fish farming

industry for Wales, was outlined for members

of the National Assembly for Wales by

Economic Development and Transport

Minister and Swansea University alumnus

Andrew Davies this year.

The University has seen accelerating growth in activity to support the economic

regeneration of South West Wales. Swansea is experiencing an economic transformation

clearly evidenced by the success of the new SA1 Waterfront initiative and the University is

becoming a strategic hub for the development of industrial, business and community

relationships across entrepreneurship, innovation, intellectual property, research and

development, training and consultancy, skills development and technology transfer.

To help meet the demand for more doctors in Wales, an innovative medical degree

programme for graduates was launched in May 2003. The graduate-entry medical

programme, funded by the Welsh Assembly Government, will train seventy doctors

per annum, and will widen access to the medical profession.

The first enrolments will be in Autumn 2004, and applications have been welcomed

from graduates with high class degrees in any subject. The fast-track programme,

means medical graduation in four years rather than the usual five.

The programme also represents a unique academic collaboration in Wales – between

the School of Medicine in Swansea and the College of Medicine in Cardiff. During years

1 and 2 at Swansea, students will study human biology, the mechanisms of disease,

therapeutic approaches, and will develop the skills and methods of medical practice.

During years 3 and 4 at Cardiff (and the all-Wales clinical training scheme), students will

study the different specialties of medicine, and will see patients in a variety of hospital

and community medical settings around Wales (and which include the extensive facilities

now put in place at Swansea).

The Swansea School’s educational work is complemented by a very strong medical

research programme – led by 15 professors. This multi-disciplinary research programme

(aimed at discovering and delivering practical solutions in health and medicine) has

vital interactions with other departments at Swansea University, and strong links to

Cardiff University. The Swansea School is also fully committed to supporting medical

activities throughout the West of Wales.

Wales National Pool Opens March 2003 saw the opening of the new Wales National Pool in Swansea. Welsh Assembly

Government First Minister Rhodri Morgan gave the start signal as a group of top Welsh

swimmers took the first plunge. The pool is open to the general public and Swansea

University staff and students as well as being home to Wales’ elite swimmers and Britain’s

triathlon squad as they prepare for Olympic competition in 2004 and the 2006

Commonwealth Games in Melbourne.

The £10.7 million landmark facility is adjacent to the University campus and is the result

of a successful partnership between the University, the City and County of Swansea and

the Sports Council for Wales.

Built to meet world standards, it is an exciting venue to host national and international

swimming championships. Swansea is the UK’s official nomination to stage the World

Disability Championships in 2006 which attracts over 1,000 international competitors and

officials. The event is likely to bring more than £1 million into the local economy. The Amateur

Swimming Federation of Great Britain chose the new Wales National Pool ahead of

competition from a number of venues in the UK.

Swansea mathematics student Stephen Evans, represented Wales in the Commonwealth

Games and is an example of how students can now combine elite swimming with flexible

study at the University. The pool has provided the catalyst for a sports village in the

surrounding land, which will offer more state-of-the-art facilities in 2004.

Key Developments

www.swansea.ac.uk

Aquaculture WalesAquaculture Wales (AqWa), launched by the Welsh Assembly Government’s Economic

Development and Transport Minister, Andrew Davies in March this year, will create a

£2 million new research facility to develop a sustainable fish farming industry for Wales.

It will be housed in the University’s Biological Sciences building.

Swansea University has a long tradition of research excellence in aquaculture and

welcomes this new initiative, which aims to lead the resurgence of an industry that could be

worth millions to the Welsh economy. Backed by Objective 1 European and Welsh Assembly

funding and with the full co-operation of the Welsh Development Agency, the project aims

to make the science of aquaculture available to be developed commercially.

Fish farming is currently the fastest growing sector of the meat production industry. With its

efficient production, directors of the project feel that the high health value of the food is

crucial to the success of the industry in Wales.

Local names like Oystermouth illustrate that Wales once had a thriving aquaculture industry

but pollution levels in the sea rose rapidly during the industrial revolution, and the industry

went into serious decline. There is now very little coastal aquaculture in Wales so there is

an opportunity to make a fresh start.

£2 million BAMS FacilityProfessor Frank Pullin, Vice-President for Research at Pfizer, formally opened the Biomolecular

Analysis through Mass Spectrometry (BAMS) Facility during the course of an Opening Day

Symposium in summer 2003. This constitutes a state-of-the-art and versatile facility that has

been funded by £2 million of the first tranche of SRIF money awarded to the University and

will provide a focal point for the enhancement of collaborative research between Mass

Spectrometry, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Chemistry and the new Clinical School.

The Lead Director of the BAMS Facility is Professor Russell Newton of the School of

Biological Sciences, with Professor Gareth Brenton (Chemistry) and Professor

Julian Hopkin (Clinical School) as Co-directors.

New Halls of Residence The last students to live in the historic Clyne Castle halls of residence have said farewell.

Clyne had declined in popularity over the years as students began opting for self-catering

accommodation. Clyne will be replaced by an exciting development of new halls on campus.

Three new hall blocks will be built, housing over 800 students. The new rooms will all be en-suite

and self-catering and will be completed for the 2004/5 academic year.

UWS Racing Students from the School of Engineering returned home triumphant from the annual

Formula Student competition held during summer 2003, having won the Class 3 Concept

Design Competition.

Formula Student is an international competition between student teams from around the

world. The aim is to design and produce single-seat racing cars to compete in dynamic

and static events. The three-day competition takes place at the end of the academic

year and the cars are judged on their presentation, design, costing and track performance.

Swansea has participated in the competition for the last three years and is currently

designing cars for the 2004 and 2005 events. The team has over twenty-five student members

from years 1, 2 and 3, who manage the project from the original concept through to final

testing and anyone studying engineering at Swansea has an opportunity to join the team.

Aspects covered include design of chassis, suspension, engine and drive train, together

with manufacturing, finance and marketing.

Scholarships and BursariesAs part of the University's commitment to excellence, each year it awards a large number

of scholarships and bursaries to help both undergraduates and postgraduates achieve

the very best during their time in Swansea.

The undergraduate cultural and sporting entrance scholarships were the first of their kind

to be introduced in Welsh colleges and universities. 10 awards of £1000 per year were

awarded during 2002/3. These were offered in a wide range of areas to encourage

talent in both individual and team sports and musical activities.

46 Millennium Scholarships were also awarded during 2002/3, designed to cover the cost

of tuition fees for students with disabilities, special needs, outstanding academic ability

and mature students.

15 postgraduate research scholarships were awarded to full-time MPhil and PhD students

across the University, worth a similar amount to research council grants, covering tuition

fees and a maintenance allowance. 15 fees-only bursaries were also awarded to

both full and part-time postgraduate students.

Reinforcingthe Link

Where the quality of research is world-class the latest thinking, up-to date knowledge

and advances feed into undergraduate teaching and provide exciting challenges in

postgraduate study. The continued development of Swansea University as a research-led

university reflects a commitment to the highest standard of teaching.

Intergrating ResearchDuring its review of the curriculum two years ago, the Department of Politics and

International Relations introduced two new elements into its level-three programme

designed to reinforce the link between teaching and research. The first was a dissertation

module in which students would work with staff on topics related to their particular area of

expertise. The second innovation was a Researching Politics module in which each member

of the Department devised a special research topic which would be the focus for individual

and group research. Students are given a series of lectures on research methodology in

the first few weeks of the course and then meet with tutors to discuss a series of research

questions relating specifically to their topic. Students are encouraged to do individual

research on their own and towards the end of the module to pool their research

and give a joint research presentation. The latter is designed to help improve

‘employability skills’ as well as research skills.

The Department is also attempting to integrate research into its teaching programme

by organising international conferences to which students are invited, two are

planned for 2003/4.

Enriching Student StudyThe Centre for Contemporary German Literature, whose programme reflects the

German department’s key research interests in post-war German literature and culture,

every year invites a prominent German author to spend time in Swansea in the post of

Writer in Residence.

These visits contribute greatly to the research culture within the department, whilst also

enhancing the department’s teaching activities and enriching students’ studies.

Students are afforded the outstanding opportunity to listen to and ask questions of authors

whose works they are studying on their modules. This year’s writer was the Berlin-based

Jewish-German author Esther Dischereit, who visited Swansea to give readings from her

poetry, novels and essays, and to contribute to a two-day international colloquium on

her work. The proceedings are to be published by the University of Wales Press as part

of the Contemporary German Writers Series.

The students who attended these events benefited enormously from the readings, papers

and discussions, and will be able to capitalise on these experiences in the coming academic

year, when Dischereit’s novel Joëmis Tisch is taught on both final year and MA courses.

Creative WritingA new creative writing research initiative has been launched under the direction of the

award-winning novelist Dr Stevie Davies, including an MA programme which began in

September 2003. This has been developed jointly between the English and Media and

Communication Studies Departments.

Dedicated CREWThe internationally-recognised research centre CREW (Centre for Research into the

English Literature and Language of Wales) organised an international conference on literary

translation. This was to mark the completion of the AHRB-funded Bibliography of Welsh Literature

in English Translation website www.bwlet.net. Three distinguished writers, Gillian Clarke, Seamus

Heaney and Emyr Humphreys, agreed to serve as Honorary Associates of the Centre.

Fieldwork InitiativeDr Alan Collins of the Politics Department raised £5,150 from the British Academy to

support fieldwork in Southeast Asia during his sabbatical between September and January.

The research produced two publications: ‘Burma’s Civil War: A Case of Societal Security’,

in the journal Civil Wars and a single authored monograph ‘Security and Southeast Asia:

Domestic, Regional and Global Issues’. In September 2002 he gave a paper, which was

subsequently published on ASEAN, at a conference held at the University of Hull. In

February 2003 Dr Collins presented a paper on the security dilemma at the International

Studies Association (ISA) annual conference in Portland, Oregon. He raised over £1,000

to fund the trip from the British Academy and the ISA. The paper has been subsequently

accepted for publication in the journal Co-operation and Conflict to appear in 2004.

The Lives of ItaliansJonathan Dunnage’s book; ‘Twentieth Century Italy: A Social History’, traces the impact of

social, economic, cultural and political transformation on the lives of Italians during the last

century. It assesses their living standards, their health and education, the conditions in which

they worked and how they spent their free time. The volume also examines the varying

forms and survival mechanisms of the Italian family, the role of women, the development

of community relations and political movements and the relationship between grass-roots

Italian society and the nation state. Special attention is given to the effects on Italian life

of major historical events, including two world wars, highlighting reaction to them in

the community, in the family and among individuals.

Politics and Ethics Dr Mark Evans has become Associate Editor of the prestigious International Journal of Politics

and Ethics and, together with Professor John Baylis and Dr Robert Bideleux, attended the

inaugural conference of Transatlantic Studies in Dundee University. Dr Evans subsequently

had a paper published in the first edition of the new Journal of Transatlantic Studies while

Professor Baylis was asked to join the Board of the Journal.

Book CitedDr Jukka Snell published a book dealing with co-aspects of the European internal market

law. The book has already been widely cited in academic literature and has been used

extensively in a Swedish court case where it was held that the law on alcohol advertising

could not be applied due to its conflict with EC free movement rules.

Pioneering CompanionProfessor Gino Bedani of the Department of Italian has 23 entries in the long awaited

‘The Oxford Companion to Italian History’, which embraces the whole of Italian literature

from the 13th century to the present day. Among its editors and contributors the volume

boasts some of the most distinguished figures in Italian studies reflecting the current state

of international scholarship. It has been referred to as 'a pioneering work' and is set to

become an essential reference work for specialists and non-specialists alike.

AerospaceThe Materials Research Centre in the School of Engineering has always been at the

forefront of research into advanced aerospace materials. That role has been considerably

strengthened by major investments from leading industrial players in the aerospace field.

For instance, the Materials Research Centre is a designated University Technology Partner

(UTP) with Rolls Royce plc. This award brings in substantial funds each year to support

postgraduate research and ensures that the Centre will remain at the forefront of this

challenging technology. In addition to postgraduate support the UTP has been a catalyst for

the attraction of major aerospace contracts. One gained over the last year is a multi-million

pound Defence and Aerospace Research Programme (DARP) involving Rolls Royce and

a number of universities. Swansea is playing a pivotal role in this programme with a major

involvement in several forward thinking projects including the evaluation of materials for

a ‘more electric engine’ and the single crystal technology which lies at the heart of the

modern gas turbine engine.

Multi-tier PoliticsDr Jonathan Bradbury of the Politics Department was part of a team that was awarded

an ESRC grant of £55,000 to study ‘Multi-tier politics and its impact on local representation’.

Dr Bradbury is one of the UK’s leading experts on devolution. This gave weight to the decision

by the Richard Commission, looking into the powers of the National Assembly for Wales,

to hold one of its main seminars In Swansea. Dr Bradbury has also been asked to undertake

a research project on ‘Black and Asian minority Groups and Political Participation in Wales’

for the All Wales Ethnic Minority Association (AWEMA).

Editorial InputThe Hispanic Studies Department now has significant editorial input into two high quality

modern languages journals, this reflecting staff expertise. Romance Studies is based in

Swansea and is published by Maney’s of Leeds. Research Professor Derek Gagen is one

of the General Editors and Dr Lloyd Davies is the Hispanic Subject Editor. During 2002/3 the

journal increased its output from two to three annual editions. Dr David George continues

his work as Hispanic Editor of the Modern Language Review, and he is also Hispanic Editor

of the Modern Humanities Research Association’s ‘Texts and Dissertations’ series.

Nuclear PredictionsIn October 2002 Professor Simon Hands started his prestigious three year PPARC Senior

Research Fellowship to work on nuclear matter under extreme conditions. Using the

Physics Department’s special purpose APE Mille supercomputer, Professor Hands together

with Dr Chris Allton, have performed the first calculations of the critical temperature (around

a million, million degrees centigrade!) at which so-called hadrons (protons, neutrons and

associated particles) dissociate into a strongly-interacting plasma of quarks and gluons

under conditions in which there are more quarks than antiquarks. The Swansea predictions

will be vital in interpreting the results of violent nuclear collision experiments being

performed at particle accelerators around the world.

Supervision of Prisoners For the past ten years, Professor Peter Raynor and Dr Maurice Vanstone from SSSID have

undertaken, with colleagues in Cardiff and Bristol universities, a series of research studies for

the Home Office concerning the supervision of prisoners after release, and how to help them

to re-settle in the community. Thousands of prisoners have been involved in detailed studies

of their management and behaviour before and after release. The most recent part of this

work, concerning an evaluation of seven experimental projects for short-term prisoners, is

about to be published by the Home Office and shows that it is important for the Prison

and Probation Services to challenge offenders' habitual patterns of thinking and behaviour,

as well as to help them gain access to the resources and opportunities they need, if they

are to have a realistic prospect of avoiding further offending after release.

Victorian CircusDr Brenda Assael from the History Department has been awarded research grants from

both the Arts and Humanities Research Board and the Leverhulme Foundation for her work

on the Victorian circus. This work is to be published as a book entitled ‘Gaudy dream: the

circus and Victorian society’ by the University of Virginia Press in 2004.

The Swansea predictions will be vital in interpreting

the results of violent nuclear collision experiments being

performed at particle accelerators around the world.

Revealing FingerprintsRevealing fingerprints on fired cartridges, rocket casings or bomb fragments

is almost impossible with conventional techniques because the organic

components of sweat and grease from a person's fingers evaporates

with the high temperatures reached by such items. Researchers at

the Materials Research Centre are exploiting the changes in electric

potential in a metal surface caused by the inorganic salts left behind

in a fingerprint's sweat ridge deposits. The electric potential patterns

can persist for months or years in such a print and the researchers

have shown that such patterns may be visualised by potential

mapping using a scanning Kelvin probe. It is possible to spot

such fingerprints even if a metal object has been coated

with organic grease or paint.

Family Life in SwanseaSociologists and Anthropologists within the School of Social Sciences and

International Development have been exploring how social changes of the last 40 years

have affected family life in Swansea. Funded by EPSRC, the research is being carried out

under the direction of Professor Nickie Charles. The research consists of a 2002 survey of

1,000 households; in-depth studies of three different parts of Swansea; and builds on

research carried out in the 1960s. Amongst other findings, this earlier research revealed

that the extended family still existed in all social classes and cultural groups.

Forty years on, the survey results show that the extended family has all but disappeared:

only 1 in 200 households are made up of extended family groups compared with 1 in 5 in

1960. But this does not mean that family ties have weakened. On the contrary, members

of families see each other almost as frequently as they did four decades ago. Moreover

contact between mothers and adult daughters is still frequent and women continue to be at

the heart of the extended family network. The research is due to be completed early in 2004.

Peer Ethnography Empiricist research methods, such as the questionnaire-based sample survey and the focus

group discussion, dominate much applied social and health policy research. Such methods

have been shown to be limited in their ability to inform about the process and contexts of

reproductive and sexual behaviour change, essential for the design of appropriate health

and HIV/AIDS programmes and interventions. With a £200,000 grant from the UK Department

for International Development (DFID) between 1999 and 2003, Dr Neil Price of the Centre for

Development Studies, and Dr Kirstan Hawkins (a freelance researcher) have developed and

field-tested a new research method, which they have called peer ethnography, to address

some of the limitations of the methods which currently dominate reproductive and

sexual behaviour research.

Findings from the application of peer ethnography in a number of programme settings

have demonstrated that peer ethnography can make a significant contribution to both

the understanding of health-seeking and sexual behaviour, and to the design and

implementation of interventions which address the needs of the poorest and most

vulnerable. As the method becomes more widely disseminated, there is increasing interest

from researchers and development agencies in using peer ethnography for planning,

monitoring and evaluation. As a result, Dr Price is currently in discussion with the Knowledge

Transfer Partnership, to establish a peer ethnography unit as part of a joint venture between

Swansea University and an international development consultancy firm based in London.

Egyptian DreamsDr Kasia Szpakowska of the Classics Department, has had a new book published, ‘Behind

Closed Eyes: Dreams and Nightmares in Ancient Egypt.’ It presents a comprehensive study

of dreams as they were perceived and interpreted by the Egyptians in the third and second

millennia BC – from Old Kingdom to New Kingdom. It examines the various roles dreams

could play in ancient Egyptian society, whether political, religious, magical, or literary.

Also considered is the value of dream-interpretation for the happiness of private individuals.

Its arguments are based on an intimate study of the original Egyptian texts; the texts

themselves are set out in translation.

American StudiesDr Duncan Campbell published his first monograph, ‘English Public Opinion and the

American Civil War’, with the Royal Historical Society and Dr Alan Bilton published his

first book, entitled ‘An Introduction to Contemporary American Fiction’, this published by

both Edinburgh University and New York University Presses. Professor Jon Roper published

a textbook with Polity Press entitled ‘The Contours of American Politics’. Dr Craig Phelan

contributed a chapter to New Clarion Press’s collection, ‘New Approaches to Socialist

History’. Dr Phil Melling contributed a chapter to a Manchester University Press collection,

American Film and Politics from Reagan to Bush.

Online HubThe joint AHRB-funded project, The Anglo-Norman On-line Hub, based in the French

Department at Swansea and the Department of European Languages at Aberystwyth,

was awarded a further AHRB grant of £426,000 over four years to allow the appointment

of two post-doctoral research assistants and one PhD student, who will work in Aberystwyth

under the direction of the project leader Prof DA Trotter.

Project AwardIn 2002, Alison Perry from the Law Department was awarded £90,000 by the Nuffield

Foundation to fund a two and a half year project examining the use, impact and efficacy

of orders for supervised and indirect contact between children and their non-resident parents.

The project will involve an examination of court records. A sample of cases will be drawn from

court records and the parents and children involved will be interviewed, if willing, about the

appropriateness and effect of the order made in their case. A small number of judges will also

be interviewed. Dr Bernadette Rainey has been appointed to work full-time on the project.

Drug Control Dr David Bewley Taylor’s stature as a leading expert in international Drug Control circles

grew enormously in 2002. He received an invitation to be Keynote Speaker at the

International Harm Reduction Association’s annual conference at Burnett Institute in

Melbourne, Australia. He was also invited to give a paper at a high level international

symposium on drug policy in Lisbon, Portugal.

EconomicsThe Welsh Economy Labour Market Evaluation and Research Centre (WELMERC) began life

on 1 August 2002 within the Department of Economics with financial support for a period of

three years from the European Social Fund. Its first director is Professor Peter Sloane, formerly

Vice Principal, Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Law, and Professor of Political

Economy at the University of Aberdeen. He has been joined by Professor John Treble formerly

of the University of Wales, Bangor, assisted by two Research Officers. Match funding comes

from the input of several labour economists from within the Department.

The main aims of WELMERC are: to provide dynamic benchmarks for each Welsh Unitary

Authority as a base from which to assess the effectiveness of Objective 1 funding; to analyse

and report on trends in economic data relevant to the Welsh Labour Market; to analyse

existing and new data sets including the Welsh boosts to the Labour Force Survey and British

Household Panel Survey; and to undertake economic evaluation of Objective 1 funding in

terms of labour market impact and value for money.

In its first year four major reports have been completed for the WDA, ELWa, and the

Economic Research Unit of the Welsh Assembly Government, seven Discussion Papers

produced and 25 presentations made to various bodies in Wales, the rest of the UK and

abroad. Though focussed on Wales, WELMERC is international in scope and will publish

papers, as it has already done, in major international refereed journals.

Critical BooksNathalie Morello and Catherine Rodgers (eds), Nouvelles écrivaines, nouvelles voix?

This collection, edited by two members of the French Department, is the first book to bring

together critical articles in French on works published in France by new women writers during

the 1990s. It poses the question of whether it is accurate to speak of a new generation of

women writers, and examines the position of women writers in the literary world where they

still suffer from a degree of inequality of treatment. It also discusses both how their works fit

into the history of contemporary literature, and how they relate to the writings of women

writers of the previous generation.

Jane Clark and Derek Connon, ‘The mirror of human life’: reflections on François Couperin’s

‘Pièces de Clavecin’. Derek Connon’s collaboration with harpsichordist and musicologist

Jane Clark is the most up-to-date examination of the enigmatic titles of the pieces in

Couperin’s ‘Pièces de Clavecin’. They have examined both the social history of Couperin’s

time and the range of his literary interests in order to solve the puzzles posed by so many of

these titles. Their work is aimed not just at enlightening the listener but also at informing the

performer, whose manner of playing the pieces can be distorted by a false understanding

of its title. It has had the accolade of an enthusiastic review in the Nouvel Observateur,

which normally pays no attention to publications not written in French.

Their work is aimed not just at enlightening

the listener but also at informing the performer.

It presents a comprehensive

study of dreams as they

were perceived and

interpreted by the

Egyptians in the third

and second millennia BC.
