and encouragement this venture would not be possible. We would like to express our thanks
to Faculty Research Office Administrator Tracey Wood for her continued assistance with the
journal’s web presence. In addition, we would like to express our sincerest gratitude to Mike
Hession and Galina Smith for enabling us to present our online version of the journal in such
a modern and professional manner. Huge thanks to our previous team members for their
continued support, in particular Sophie Sch Ü nemann for her help with this issue. Thanks must

process and ensure that all published submissions are of the highest standard. The Keele

contributors would like to express thanks to all the members of academic staff who have
assisted, encouraged and provided guidance during the course of making this journal. Finally,
we would like to thank our contributors for all their hard work in producing and revising their
