Challenging the Inclusion of Intersectionality in the Academy Introduction With this paper, I will explore the inclusion of intersectionality in the academy. To do so, I will provide a genealogical analysis of the ways in which intersectionality has been taken up and implemented by the neo-liberal academy and feminist scholars. The purpose of this paper, then, is to trace the history of intersectionality in relation to the academy in order to consider a future that is beyond inclusion. My…

Behaviour Policy (2015) and my own reflections on my experience of Academy A. Though the latest Ofsted report (2014) does not explicitly refer to positivity when evaluating Academy A’s behaviour management, there is a sense of positivity reflected in the report. They describe it as a “rapidly improving academy” (Ofsted, 2014) where the Headteacher has “drive, determination and high expectations”. I agree that, from my experience, Academy A has an air of positivity towards its continual…

Anglo-Saxon literature was centered around one common theme, exile. The exile in literature is often about the banning of a person from a place. Most writers in this time period wrote an elegy for the things they miss from their time before their exiled. Some writers were forced into exile by others for political reasons while others fled for their own safety. As seen in “The Seafarer”, “The Wanderer”, and “The Wife’s Lament” exile was a major anxiety in Anglo-Saxon literature as the threat…

The thought of being exiled from the place that is so familiar, can make a person distraught. Edward Said wrote that, “Exile is strangely compelling to think about but terrible to experience. It is the unhealable rift forced between a human being and a native place, between the self and its true home: its essential sadness can never be surmounted.” Said also thought that exile can become, “a potent, even enriching,” experience. The exile of Victor Frankenstein’s creation in Mary Shelley’s…

There are three poems in this Exeter book, consisting of The Seafarer, The Wanderer, and The Wife’s Lament. These poems are dramatic monologues, which means there is…

These Anglo Saxons poems share many common points. They both tell the protagonists story about being exiled from their society. This was a popular topic in Anglo Saxon time because many had lords who could kick them out at any time without a reason, and the person being exiled could not do anything about it. During the protagonists exile, they experience hard times and emotional pain. The most noticeable similarity is that in both stories, the narrator is exiled from the society. However, they…
