Exaggerated Claims?: The ESRC, 50 Years On (SAGE Swifts)
by David Walker"David Walker’s analysis is incisive and hard hitting. Anyone who believes in the power of social science to inform better policy making should take his criticisms seriously." - Sue Duncan, Former Chief Government Social Researcher and Head of the Government Social Research Service "David Walker has written an unofficial summary of ESRC's achievements and struggles. He brings to the task long experience of the organisation and of the key players, a great familiarity with the literature and a sceptical nature. The result is stimulating, instructive, contentious and sometimes even infuriating." - David Rhind, Chair of the Nuffield Foundation What is the role of the state in distributing research money? How do 'arm's-length' funding agencies relate to public policy and business? This original study looks at the main social science funding agency in the UK, which was established 50 years ago. It examines how funding decisions are related to power. The 'critical' and ‘policy' aspects of successful research bids are discussed. Walker asks the tricky question, why has social science research not achieved a more salient role in state policy formation and management strategy: is the funding agency responsible? Insightful, engrossing and highly original, the book will be required reading for anyone who has written or will write a Social Science research bid and, more widely, for students of power, knowledge and culture.

Exam Nation: Why Our Obsession with Grades Fails Everyone – and a Better Way to Think About School
by Sammy WrightSchool should equip children for adulthood. In reality, it means one thing: exams. Exam Nation sets out a better way – and, crucially, shows us how we might get there.'An essential read - as entertaining as it is insightful - for anyone who cares about the way we treat young people ... Brilliant’ OBSERVEREducationalist and Head of School Sammy Wright argues that grades, rankings and Ofsted reports all miss the point of school, and together they are undermining our whole approach to education. Rather than sorting pupils into winners and losers, we need to think differently about what our schools are actually for – to see them as communities not factories – if we are to give all young people the opportunities and future they deserve.‘Such a compelling read’ TELEGRAPH‘Deeply absorbing ... Wright deserves the highest marks’ FINANCIAL TIMES‘Extraordinary … The book education has been waiting for’ LAURA MCINERNEY‘Persuasive … He is clearly a superb teacher’ SAM FREEDMAN, LITERARY REVIEW
