““These DVDs provide real life examples of different types of conflict at a range of scales. They are particularly helpful in examining the social, economic and environmental impacts of conflict. I don’t know of any other resource on the market that includes, in one place, all the aspects needed for the A2 course we follow.” ”

“'The euthanasia debate handled both sides of the argument is an effective way. It gave our students a chance to question their own beliefs as well as the beliefs of others. It made a real difference to the teaching and learning of a difficult topic, and was much more interesting then just reading from a text book!'. Mr Mark Perraton, Head of Religious Education, The John of Gaunt School.”

“Lads and Ladettes in School caused me to reflect on the unfortunate ways in which recent research on gender and schooling, which relies on the theory of hegemonic masculinities, has been interpreted by politicians and policy-makers concerned with boys' underachievement. This book reminds us of the challenges we face in applying lessons from research. It also highlights a pressing need to focus more broadly on the social goals of education and to rethink the notion of success for all”

“A lively and engaging discussion that will be relevant to A level students or useful for enrichment for GCSE. Well pitched in tone and language to suit students and encourage discussion and debate.”

“Willis discusses his research in an enthusiastic and stimulating way, providing at the same time a number of interesting insights into the research process (in particular, the strengths of ethnographic forms of research)”

“Whether or not you classify yourself as a "Feminist", Michelle Stanworth is always worth reading and now, through the magic of videotape, you can listen as you watch her outline her ideas (radical at the time and still having more than a passing relevance even in these times of seemingly ever-increasing female educational achievement...) about the relationship between gender and schooling. ”

“Stan Cohen discusses the background to his research, its methodology and data analysis. A number of significant concepts (moral panic, deviancy amplification, etc.) are also explained, with the help of simple, clear, on-screen graphics. The video not only provides an interesting overview to a classic piece of research, it also gives students important pointers to the production of their own research projects. ”

“BPS Award for Haslam and Reicher: In September Alex Haslam and Steve Reicher won the 2009 British Psychology Society’s Annual Award for Excellence in Teaching for their work on the BBC Prison Study. The award recognized the influence the study has had on the social psychology curriculum and the researchers' commitment to supporting psychology teachers.”

“"We are delighted by this award. Social Psychology has so many important things to say about things that concern all of us: how we can create harminious communities, how leadership works, when and why there is tension, hostility and even violence between groups. The BBC Prison Experiment addresses all these issues. Through our website and our DVD's on 'The Experiment', Alex and I have tried to present rich ideas in a compelling and accessible way for a broad audience. The British Psychological Society Teaching Award suggests that our efforts have paid off."”

“Short Cuts represents the future of educational resources, brief and to the point, with plenty of opportunities for interactive learning. The additional resources allow teachers to maximise their use of IT in the classroom and enable students to learn in a variety of different styles. I’m already looking forward to the release of Short Cuts 2.”

Deb Gajic, Head of Social Science at Polesworth International Language College

“With some educational DVD's costing over £150 for a single study or area you can't beat the price of £50 for all 5 clips. Not only that you're getting all of the added resources, lesson plans and PowerPoints. An excellent resource that I will be making good use of next year. A resource that will get used again-and-again.”
