Architecture as a Way of Seeing and Learning
At the beginning of 2020, 66 long-term refugee camps existed along the East African Rift. Millions of young children have been born at the camps and have grown up there, yet it is unknown how their surrounding built environments affect their learning and development. Architecture as a Way of Seeing and Learning presents an architect’s take on questions many academics and humanitarians ask. Is it relevant to look at camps through an urban lens and focus on their built environment? Which analytical benefits can architectural and design tools provide to refugee assistance and specifically to young children’s learning? And which advantages can assemblage thinking and situated knowledges brin...

The Emerald City and Other Essays on the Architectural Imagination
In The Emerald City, Dan Willis takes us on a flight of imagination that paradoxically never strays far from the most tangible, even intimate subjects. His essays range from the Tower of Babel to the Wizard of Oz, from Christo to Christmas trees, from the "lightness of being" to the "weight of architecture." This ultimately optimistic book suggests that architecture is as vital as ever: "It is tempting to say that our present cultural situation...has rendered architecture nearly impossible if not unnecessary. But it is also possible to look to what our lives, at the turn of the millennium, typically lack-fulfillment, spirituality, a sense of belonging, weight-and to conclude that the ground ...
Embedding Young People's Participation in Health Services
There is increasing interest in young people’s participation in the design and delivery of health services. But young people’s views are not consistently sought or acknowledged, and they are still often marginalised in healthcare encounters. Drawing on original research and a diverse range of practice examples, Brady explores the potential for inclusive and diverse approaches to young people’s participation in health services from the perspectives of young people, health professionals and other practitioners. She presents a practical new framework, embedded in children’s rights, that shows how young people’s participation can be integrated into services in ways that are meaningful, effective and sustainable.
I Taught Them to Cook
A story of teaching cooking in an east London comprehensive in 1970s. A bit like Call the Midwife only 20 years later. Reviews 'An accurate, and sometimes very funny, account of the trials of a young food teacher in the 70's. A light hearted testament to the importance of food, education, and a sizzling expose of the blindness of the powers that be.' Prue Leith This is a charming book, and I love its wry, nostalgic tone. Underneath that, there is a message - that food teaching really matters. Orlando Murrin President of Guild of Food Writers What an amazing book. I taught in London schools in the 1970s so Jenny's delightful book has prompted so many memories for me triggering laughter, pride...
