Academic Service

My current duties within the School of Politics and International Relations at the University of Nottingham include:

§ Director of Postgraduate Taught (PGT) Programmes and MA

Admissions: both roles are combined and are closely inter-linked. While the MA Admissions Officer is responsible for dealing with applications by potential future students, the Director of PGT Programmes deals with the students who have taken up their place on one of the School’s MA programmes. The role of MA admissions is inter alia to decide on borderline applicants and unusual cases, to meet third year students and outside students for recruitment, and oversee marketing publicity. The role of the Director of PGT Programmes is inter alia to provide a point of contact for MA students, ensure overall coherence of PGT provision and reflect on further development, and organise social events for the current MA students. All the tasks are carried out in close co-operation with the PG Manager and PG Administrator;

§ Co-Director of the Centre for the Study of Social and Global Justice (CSSGJ): CSSGJ is one of the largest and most vibrant research centres of its kind within the School with the main focus revolving around research into interdisciplinary aspects of social justice crossing political theory; critical political economy; and the politics of new social movements. The remit of CSSGJ directors is to meet to organise the weekly international guest speaker seminar series; coordinate the annual lecture and forthcoming conferences and workshops; develop the critical pedagogy project; and manage and implement funding decisions regarding travel bursaries, visiting scholars, and overall budgetary demands;

§ Chair of Learning Community Forum (LCF), formerly Staff Student Feedback Committee: the remit of LCF is to promote effective communications in the School of Politics and International Relations, with a view to mutual exchange of information and ideas; to be responsible for representing prevailing student opinions at School level; to ensure the views of students are given proper weight in the processes of course and module review; to disseminate to students the School’s responses to the issues and concerns they raise; to inform students of any issues and concerns raised by the staff in relation to the teaching and learning process; and to review External Examiner’s Reports presented by the School’s Student Affairs Committee; and

§ Member of External Relations and Communications Committee: the remit of this committee is to develop an overall School strategy for external relations and seek greater coherence by linking up disparate initiatives; review and enhance student recruitment activities at both UG and PG levels, and take responsibility for providing strategic responses to the NSS and league tables; seek new ways to seek to project our research excellence; manage careers, alumni relations and careers relations, and associated events; work with the Web Officer to ensure that School activities are reflected in a vibrant School web site; pro-actively seek candidates for PSA/BISA prizes and also nominate colleagues for book prizes and other esteem indications, for which it will keep a record of such competitions and identify potential candidates on a rolling basis.

20

Since my arrival in the School of Politics and International Relations in August 2005, I have fulfilled with outstanding commitment and efficiency a whole range of University Committee responsibilities including: member of the Shadow Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) Group (2005-2006) tasked with spotlighting staff member’s research profiles ahead of the 2008 RAE; Convenor of the School’s then weekly Research Seminar Series (2006-2007); member of the School Research Committee (2005-2007), which is responsible for developing and implementing the School’s Research Strategy; to monitor/review the activity of the School’s Research Centres; to continue the School’s Grant Mentoring Scheme; to continue the manage the School’s Research Excellence Framework (REF) strategy; to manage the School’s Study Leave Scheme; and to organise annual reviews of staff research activities and plans and provide feedback; member of the School Management Group (2008) prior to its reorganisation into the School Executive Group (December 2008). I participated on this Committee with the remit to advise and assist the Head of School in the running of the School, with the Committee also receiving and deciding on key recommendations of the School’s sub-committees; member of the School’s Code of Conduct Working Party (2010) to improve collegiality within the School compliant with Human Resources best practice guidelines; and Deputy Director of Teaching Committee (2008-2011) charged with overseeing the School’s teaching and teaching quality at undergraduate and postgraduate levels; and to ensure the development, implementation and delivery of the School’s curriculum.

Professional Activities

Since my appointment in 2005 at Nottingham, I have pursued a whole range of professional activities that have raised my profile within and beyond the discipline of International Relations (IR). These activities include:

▪ Member of the Editorial Collective of the European Journal of International Relations (EJIR) (2014-PRESENT).

▪ Convenor of the British International Studies Association (BISA) International Political Economy (IPEG) Annual Book Prize (2008-2011): the defining award in IPE carrying enormous prestige and profile across the ‘Transatlantic Divide’ in North America and Europe.

▪ Editorial Board Member, Capital & Class (2005-PRESENT): since 1977 Capital & Class has been the main independent source for a Marxist critique of global capitalism. Pioneering key debates on value theory, domestic labour, and the state, it reaches out into the labour, trade union, anti-racist, feminist, environmentalist and other radical movements. It analyses the important political, economic and social developments of our time and applies a materialist framework unconstrained by divisions into economics, politics, sociology or history. I was intrinsic to the successful transfer of the journal to Sage Publishers, which secured the future publication and survival of the journal.

▪ Book Reviews Editor, Capital & Class (2006-2013): along with my presence on the Editoral Board, volunteering to undertake this role has entailed my thorough transformation of the book review section into a thriving and active forum for discussion with each issue now carrying between 15 and 20 reviews.

▪ Co-editor (with Peter Ives) of the ‘Reading Gramsci Series’ published by Pluto Press (2008-PRESENT).

Teaching

The excellence of my teaching is confirmed by the student evaluation returns of my teaching (SET) as well as my modules (SEM), below. With only three exceptions, the mean responses are consistently better than 2 on a scale of 1 to 5, where 1 stands for ‘strongly agree’ and 5 for ‘strongly disagree’. Especially, my two modules delivered since 2008/9 have received excellent feedback, indicating a continuing improvement over the years. I calculated the scores by adding up all mean responses to the various questions, dividing the sum then by the number of questions. A sample copy of the questionnaires is attached. Of note are the awards in 2009/10 for Theories and Concepts in International Relations (IR)—the core MA module—which was solely taught in this year and my winning in 2012 a Dearing Award given to me as a University of Nottingham staff member for teaching excellence in enhancing the student learning experience.

‘Coming from Sweden as an exchange student, Adam Morton is truly one of the best teachers any of us has ever had. His enthusiasm alone was worth coming to England for! — The Political Economy of Development (2006/7).

‘I thoroughly enjoyed your class and would recommend it to anyone with an interest in state formation and capitalism. I feel, regardless of my grade, that I took the most from your class over the semester, not just for the third year but across the University to dates as a whole’ — Capitalism, the Modern State and International Relations (2006/7).

‘Each week was an explanation of one aspect of the course, but rather than being studied individually these aspects were built up together as the course progressed. This yielded an accessible but holistic course’ — Revolution and Political Modernity (2009/10).

Study Abroad

Also noteworthy is my leadership in shaping a six week study abroad program based in Mexico (San Cristóbal, Chiapas and Mexico City) teaching on ‘Mexican Social Movements—Theory and Practice’. The focus was on both studying and engaging with (through participant-observation) indigenous and urban social movements in Mexico, namely the Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional (EZLN) and the Frente Popular Francisco Villa Independiente (FPFV-I). This was very innovatory in terms of the methods of teaching and course design and the invitation was personally extended to me on the basis of my research on Mexico; signifying ‘impact’ across the research and teaching domains.

Published reviews of single-authored/co-edited books Richard Stahler-Sholk Review of Revolution and State in Modern Mexico: The

Political Economy of Uneven Development by Adam David Morton for Bulletin of Latin American Research, 33:2 (2014): 247-9:

‘This bold application of historical sociology will be an important reference for understanding post-Revolutionary Mexico. The construct of passive revolution is also useful beyond the Mexican case to highlight the contradictions of “post-neoliberalism” in 21st century Latin America’.

Emilio Allier Montaño ‘Formación del Estado, revolución pasiva y desarrollo desigual en México’, review of Revolution and State in Modern Mexico: The Political Economy of Uneven Development by Adam David Morton for Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales, LVIII:218 (2013) [in Spanish]:

‘The work of Adam Morton in Revolution and State in Modern Mexico: The Political Economy of Uneven Development is of utmost importance. This is solid research, well documented and purposeful. These attributes make it a must reference for Gramscian Studies, International Relations and the Historical Sociology of modernisation in Mexico. The detail and rigor with which Morton addresses his subject matter is no less important. The result is the mobilisation of a great deal of evidence to support his arguments’.

IPEG Book Prize Panel Judges’ reporting statement awarding the 2012 British International Studies Association (BISA) International Political Economy Group (IPEG) Book Prize:

‘Revolution and State in Modern Mexico constitutes perhaps the contribution on transitions to and experiences of capitalism in Mexico, and it will be of lasting significance beyond the empirical confines of the book⎯not least because of the growing interest in Latin American countries among IPE scholars. Moreover, through his utilisation of non-traditional literatures Morton is an excellent ambassador for IPE’s claim to be an open, innovative and forward-looking discipline. Finally, he makes broader contributions to widespread debates on uneven development plus also on Gramsci’.

Alf Nilsen Review of Revolution and State in Modern Mexico: The Political Economy of Uneven Development by Adam David Morton for Capital & Class, 36:3 (2012): 559-62.

‘Adam Morton has produced a study that is nothing more short of seminal . . . Revolution and State in Modern Mexico combines theoretical sophistication and innovation with a thoroughgoing understanding of empirical complexities in an analysis that, when it comes time construct a canon of Marxist historical sociology, will sit comfortably and appropriately among the classics whose insights it draws on and to whose legacy it contributes’.

Rodrigo Passos Review of Unravelling Gramsci: Hegemony and Passive Revolution in the Global Political Economy by Adam David Morton for informe econômico: Publicação do Curso de Ciências Econômicas/UFPI, Ano 12, No. 26 (2011): 50-1.

Ronaldo Munck Feature Review entitled ‘Gramsci and Latin America’, Latin American Perspectives, 38:6 (2011): 91-2, of Unravelling Gramsci: Hegemony and Passive Revolution in the Global Political Economy by Adam David Morton:

‘In contrast to the Gramsci of sound bites or the mechanical “application” of his concepts in a dehistoricised way, Morton takes us into Gramsci’s theoretical/political workshop to see how he forged his concepts . . . This is an elegant analysis showing the potential for renewed interest in Gramsci’.

Ian Bruff Review of Unravelling Gramsci: Hegemony and Passive Revolution in the Global Political Economy by Adam David Morton for Review of Radical Political Economics, 43:2 (2011): 423-5.

‘In navigating the difficult terrain that is Gramsci’s writings—and especially his prison notebooks—Morton is exemplary in his demonstration that, when considering different historical and social conditions to those in which Gramsci lived, it is entirely appropriate to acknowledge what might be limited as well as relevant in his work . . . This book is undoubtedly a landmark publication’.

John M. Hobson Review of Unravelling Gramsci: Hegemony and Passive Revolution in the Global Political Economy by Adam David Morton for Political Studies Review, 8:3 (2010): 383-4.

‘This is a key, if not seminal, intervention in Gramscian International Relations (IR) and the historical sociology of IR (HSIR). For my mind the most striking contribution is that it recasts the conventional IR understanding of neo-Gramscianism’.

Stuart Shields Review of Unravelling Gramsci: Hegemony and Passive Revolution in the Global Political Economy by Adam David Morton for International Affairs, 85:1 (2009): pp. 172-3.

‘This book is a major statement by one of the key interlocutors of Gramsci’s often confusing and contradictory writings. For many observers, Unravelling Gramsci will be one of, if not the, definitive neo-Gramscian contributions to critical International Relations/International Political Economy (IR/IPE) for many years to come’.

Alastair Davidson ‘The Uses and Abuses of Gramsci’, Thesis Eleven, Number 95 (2008): 68-94.

‘Morton’s reconsideration of international relations after a careful philological re-reading of Gramsci’s concepts and the order of his exposition of those concepts is a welcome rejoinder to a discourse that to a Gramsci philologist seemed rather á la derive . . . By foregrounding politics-

as-passive-revolution as the key to understanding the international system today, his argument keeps present the political transformative content of Gramsci’s applied work’.

Peter Ives Review of Unravelling Gramsci: Hegemony and Passive Revolution in the Global Political Economy, by Adam David Morton for History of Political Thought, XXIX:4 (2008): pp. 740-3.

‘What is marvelous about Morton’s book is how it combines a rich engagement with the details and historical contexts of Gramsci’s writings while at the same time uses Gramsci’s concepts and methods to address the most pressing issues of our times and the debates and literatures surrounding them . . . This is a model of how Gramsci’s influence should be spread across disciplines and used in a variety of studies . . . Such concise and clear engagements with various debates make Unravelling Gramsci attractive for teaching purposes appropriate for graduate and upper-level undergraduate courses’.

Bob Fotheringham Review of Unravelling Gramsci: Hegemony and Passive Revolution in the Global Political Economy, by Adam David Morton for International Socialism, Issue 118 (2008): pp. 206-9.

‘Morton offers a superior perspective in comparison to some of his fellow neo-Gramscians. This is because he makes a serious effort to understand the development of Gramsci’s ideas within their historical context. He also maintains that Gramsci’s beliefs can only be understood as part of Marxism, and he presents the Prison Notebooks as a continuation of Gramsci’s political practice as an active revolutionary . . . There is much in Morton’s book that is both thought provoking and leads to greater understanding of how capitalism works today. By focusing on uneven development and passive revolution, a good balance is struck between capitalism as a global system and the continuing requirement for it to exploit and grow in specific locations. The role played by the state is therefore given proper recognition both as a facilitator of capitalist accumulation and control over subordinate classes’.

Robert W. Cox Review of Unravelling Gramsci: Hegemony and Passive Revolution in the Global Political Economy, by Adam David Morton for Capital & Class, No.93 (2007): pp. 258-61.

‘Unravelling Gramsci stimulates us to consider the usefulness of Gramsci’s key ideas for understanding and acting on the issues of the 21st century world. Adam Morton emphasises that Gramsci does not offer any prescriptions or proposals. He does show us a way of thinking, an approach to revolutionary praxis. The critical study of Gramsci’s work can be an exercise in mental conditioning that can hone the mind for action. Adam Morton has made a useful contribution to that study’.

Renate Holub Review of Images of Gramsci: Connections and Contentions in Political Theory and International Relations, by Andreas Bieler and Adam David Morton (eds) for Capital & Class, No.91 (2006): pp. 136-9.

‘a very welcome reprieve from the barrage of essays . . . in which Gramsci’s name is more often evoked than his ideas and texts are actually and substantially discussed’.

Greig Charnock Review of Global Restructuring, State, Capital and Labour: Contesting Neo-Gramscian Perspectives, by Andreas Bieler, Werner Bonefeld, Peter Burnham and Adam David Morton for Millennium: Journal of International Studies, vol. 36/ no.2 (2008): pp. 399-401.

‘This book is . . . recommended as much for providing a stimulating and sophisticated insight into intra-Marxist debates as for explaining and demonstrating the potentialities of different critical analyses of contemporary IPE’.

Chris May Review of Global Restructuring, State, Capital and Labour: Contesting Neo-Gramscian Perspectives, by Andreas Bieler, Werner Bonefeld, Peter Burnham and Adam David Morton for Political Studies Review, vol.5/no.2 (2007): pp. 251-2.

‘Political struggle has moved from a national, to a global (or transnational) arena, where new cross-cultural, multi-societal alliances can establish a new politics of resistance. Global Restructuring, State, Capital and Labour rehearses these debates and while not (of course) reaching any final settlement provides a thoughtful overview of the debates on the left about a number of issues, from Latin American state development to the political economy of the European Union’.
