In this episode my guest is Rosie Elvin, of ADHD FOCUS. Rosie kindly joins me to share her personal and professional insight into the broad subject of ADHD (Attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder). As a verified Neurodiversity in the workplace trainer, online course creator and public speaker, Rosie has worked with Lincoln University and more recently Nottingham Trent University, providing education and awareness. The mission - to raise awareness about ADHD and neurodiversity, equipping employers and employees with practical tools to thrive, both personally and professionally. Celebrating unique strengths of neurodivergence, whilst addressing its challenges, fostering inclusive environments, that empower everyone to succeed. A passion to highlight underdiagnosis and lack of awareness of ADHD in girls and women and the diverse ways ADHD manifests. My thanks goes out to Rosie, for her valuable insight and at times surprising statistics, surrounding the disorder.

Recent weeks have seen high-profile adult content creators make headlines for increasingly salacious reasons, exposing a divide among the public. One of the stars of Only Fans, 25-year-old Bonnie Blue, claimed to have slept with 158 men in two weeks during freshers' week at Nottingham Trent University. These X-rated stunts have become more prevalent on the paywall app famous for its user-generated sexual content. Should we cheer on independent women who smash the patriarchy?

Edwards must now attend 25 sex offender treatment sessions. We look at how these treatment programmes work and how effective they are proven to be, with Deborah Denis, CEO of the Lucy Faithfull Foundation and Professor Belinda Winder, Research Director of the Centre for Crime, Offending, Prevention and Engagement at Nottingham Trent University.The number of women taking up NHS cervical screening test invitations has been declining for the last 20 years. Healthwatch England did research with women who were reluctant to accept NHS invitations for screening and found that 73% would do an at-home test instead. A trial done by King's College London earlier this year found that if self-sample kits were available on the NHS, 400,000 more women would be screened per year. Chief Executive of Healthwatch England Louise Ansari and Dr Anita Lim, lead investigator of the King's College London trial, join Clare to tell us more.Sarah Pearse is the best-selling author of the Detective Elin Warner trilogy. She recently released the last novel in the series, The Wilds which includes themes of coercive control and was written with advice from the charity Refuge.

Ships of the Crusades Joining me for this episode is Dr. Nicholas Morton, Associate Professor with the School of Arts and Humanities at Nottingham Trent University. Dr. Morton has written many books, including The Mongol Storm: Making and Breaking Empires in the Medieval Near East. The Crusades were a series of religious wars initiated by European Christians between the 11th and 13th centuries, aimed at reclaiming the Holy Land from Muslim control. These campaigns involved significant military efforts that spanned several decades, resulting in ongoing conflicts between European powers and Muslim territories in the Middle East. The Crusaders relied heavily on reinforcements, supplies, and communication from Europe, making maritime logistics essential for their campaigns. As many of the Crusades targeted areas like the Levant, which bordered the Mediterranean, control of sea routes became crucial for maintaining the flow of troops, weapons, food, and other supplies. Ships played a vital role in transporting Crusaders, their horses, and their supplies across the Mediterranean. These vessels were typically galleys and large sailing ships equipped for both war and transport. Galleys, in particular, were favored for their speed and maneuverability, often being rowed when winds were unfavorable. Large Byzantine warships were used extensively by both Crusaders and their allies. Merchant ships were also repurposed to carry heavy equipment and reinforcements. Maritime supply lines were vulnerable to enemy attacks, and naval battles were frequent, with Crusaders often needing the protection of fleets from Venetian or Genoese navies, who provided expertise in shipbuilding and navigation. These fleets were essential in maintaining the Crusaders' foothold in the Holy Land. https://shipwrecksandseadogs.com/blog/2024/09/08/ships-of-crusades/ For ad-free listening to Shipwrecks and Sea Dogs and many other fantastic history podcasts, subscribe to Into History, at IntoHistory.com/shipwreckspod.

I'm delighted to speak with Ben Ashdown this week. Ben is joined by return guest, Dr Mustafa Sarkar. Ben is a senior lecturer in Sport and Exercise Psychology at Nottingham Trent University. He is part of the Sport Performance Research Group in the Sport, Health and Performance Enhancement (SHAPE) Research Centre and is a PhD researcher focusing on resilience in youth football. Ben's research interests are observational methods and assessment in sport psychology, resilience behaviours in youth football and resilience development practices. Before moving into lecturing, Ben was a research associate at The University of Nottingham on the Steps to Active Kids (STAK) project that sought to evaluate the impact of a school-based physical activity programme on outcomes including self-efficacy and obesity risk factors. Ben is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and has a Postgraduate diploma in teaching in the lifelong learning sector. After graduating from York St John University on a BA (Honours) degree in Sport Studies and Psychology, Ben completed an MSc in Sport Psychology at the same institution. Mustafa is Associate Professor of Sport and Performance Psychology at Nottingham Trent University. His main area of research is on individual, team and organisational resilience in elite sport. Mustafa has a background in teaching and research with most of his research focusing on the psychology of sporting and performance excellence, specifically looking at resilience in high achievers in sport and business. Mustafa also works with coaches and organisations helping them to develop resilience in athletes and teams. We talk about a brilliant paper led by Ben and co-authored by Mustafa and Dr Chris Saward and Dr Julie Johnston entitled “Exploring the behavioral indicators of resilience in professional academy youth soccer”. The study offers insight into the observable behaviours characterising resilience in youth soccer. Participants identified 36 resilience behaviours, highlighting the multifaceted nature of the concept in this specific context. The results provide a platform to support practitioners in observing resilience behaviours and structuring practices for resilience assessment and development. The findings of this study can support youth soccer players in reflecting on their behavioural responses to in-game stressors, and thus better understand how and when they demonstrate resilience.

Exorcisms and witchcraft accusations occur all around the world today, including in the United States and the United Kingdom. What does the law say about these things? In this enlightening episode, we sit down with law professors Helen Hall and Javier Garcia Oliva to explore their research at the intersection of law, religion, and supernatural practices like exorcism and witchcraft accusations. Helen Hall, an associate professor at Nottingham Trent University and an Anglican priest, and Javier Garcia Oliva, a professor of law at the University of Manchester, share their insights on the delicate balance between religious freedom and the protection of vulnerable individuals within religious communities. Key topics discussed include: The challenges of addressing spiritual abuse, particularly how it intersects with domestic abuse and affects children, women, and minority communities. A nuanced perspective on exorcism, highlighting its role in mainstream religions and advocating for a broad understanding of the practice. The complexities surrounding consent in cases involving exorcism and witchcraft accusations, where traditional notions of consent may not always apply. The importance of cultural sensitivity and avoiding outsider assumptions when evaluating potentially harmful practices. The surprising prevalence of exorcism and witchcraft accusations in countries like the UK and US. The crucial need to respect religious freedom and diversity while ensuring adherence to the law. Join us as we consider how modern societies navigate the intricate balance between respecting diversity and upholding a common legal order.

Today, we hear about world-renowned universities offering courses and complete programs in entrepreneurship and innovation. Many students are drawn to these fields, choosing them as their academic and later professional focus. However, a central question remains in the minds of many: Is it possible to teach entrepreneurship? If so, how? What are the challenges involved? Have we witnessed successful experiences, and what is their success rate? We aim to answer all these questions in our upcoming episode with Dr. Hemin Latif, Ph.D., Director of the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Center at the American University of Iraq, Sulaimani, which is the first center dedicated to entrepreneurship at an Iraqi university. Dr. Hemin brings over 18 years of academic experience. After earning his PhD from Nottingham Trent University in the UK, he began lecturing there before returning to Iraq to teach at AUIS as part of its founding team. He has also headed the Engineering and Information Technology departments at different times.

Wherever we might be in the world, we find that folklore will always take on very specific regional variations: any area will have both its own unique stories and versions of other tales which have been shaped by local knowledge or events.In the UK, where the country is divided into counties, records vary very much from place to place. The country of Lincolnshire has some fascinating folklore and yet, historically, it has been quite overlooked in terms of collecting and recording these stories.A new project, based at Nottingham Trent University, seeks to redress the perceived imbalance. On this episode of the podcast, creator and host Mark Norman is joined by Dr Anna Milon and Dr Rory Waterman to discuss the folklore of Lincolnshire and The Lincolnshire Folk Tales Project.You can visit the project website at https://lincolnshirefolktalesproject.com/To support The Folklore Podcast and help us to keep going, as well as getting access to extra member content, please consider joining our Patreon page at www.patreon.com/thefolklorepodcast

I speak with Olivia Bramley and Dr Laura Healy in this episode. Olivia is a PhD student at The Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) with an interest in positive sporting environments and experiences. Olivia completed her BSc in Sports and Exercise Science at Nottingham Trent University where she was also Women's Football Club President, Women's Football Media and Communications Officer and Women's Football First team player. Olivia has just returned to the UK to play for the Women's Championship Team, Durham. Laura is a Senior Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Psychology at Nottingham Trent University. Her research explores how to optimise goal pursuit in sport and physical activity for individuals and teams. This has included examining how the motivation underpinning goal striving can impact upon the self-regulation of goals and well-being. Recently, Laura has researched in areas associated with elite performance environments, including the role of personality in elite coach-athlete relationships, resilience, psychological safety and fear of failure in a national sport governing body, and the experience of release from professional football academies. We discuss a paper led by Olivia and co-authored by Laura and Dr Mustafa Sarkar which examines the mental health within sub-elite women's sport.  You can find the paper here: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/1612197X.2024.2311752
