‘You wouldn’t get that from watching TV!’: Exploring audience responses to virtual reality non-fiction in the home (2020)
Journal Article

Consumer virtual reality (VR) headsets (e.g. Oculus Go) have brought VR non-fiction (VRNF) within reach of at-home audiences. However, despite increase in VR hardware sales and enthusiasm for the platform among niche audiences at festivals, mainstrea...

Numerical analysis of high velocity, oblique impacts and residual tensile strength of carbon/epoxy laminates (2020)
Journal Article

This paper presents prediction of the high velocity, oblique impact response and quasi-static residual tensile strength of thin [45/90/−45/0]2s carbon/epoxy laminates using finite element (FE) models. A High-Fidelity Finite Element Method (Hi-FEM) wi... Read More about Numerical analysis of high velocity, oblique impacts and residual tensile strength of carbon/epoxy laminates.

The STEM pipeline: Do media and objectified body consciousness create an early exit for middle school girls? (2020)
Journal Article

Girls and women are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Research has investigated various explanatory factors (e.g., lack of role models, sexism) in these patterns. However, to date, the roles of media...

Appropriate use of lime in the study of the physicochemical behaviour of stabilised lateritic soil under continuous water ingress (2020)
Journal Article

Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Lime stabilisation is one of the traditional methods of improving the engineering properties of lateritic soils for use as subgrade and foundation materials for the construction of road pavements and highway embankm...

Hegemony (2020)
Book Chapter

Hegemony is one the most powerful concepts to understand reality in any social scientist's toolbox. Hegemony comes from the term - hegemon meaning leader. Gramsci’s works presented the provocation: how can power be won, and how can it be sustained. T... Read More about Hegemony.
