Welcome to STORRE: Stirling Online Research Repository
STORRE holds a continually growing collection of the full text of the research outputs of University of Stirling authors. It includes published journal articles, conference papers, book chapters, working papers, etc. As a result of the University policy encouraging open access, the repository will continue to develop as an important source of free full text access to Stirling's research.
STORRE also holds the full text of all University of Stirling research theses from September 2006 onwards; covering PhDs, Masters of Philosophy and Masters by Research plus Professional Higher Degrees by Research. A small collection of our older theses is also included, and is continually added to, due to our involvement in the British Library's EThOS service.

Extractive Geographies in Sponsored Media: Colombia’s Large-Scale Coal Mining in the 1980s
See
This article examines corporate and institutional visual media surrounding the early years of the Cerrejón coal mine in Colombia. The analysis of a varied corpus of educational television, magazine photography, and a short film made by Exxon shows how an extractive enterprise sought to present its impacts as contained and justified. Images and narratives produced an illusion of geographical and temporal separation between the mine and the lifeworlds it impacted. While the material repeats wel...

American biographer and scholar, Carl Rollyson, maintains that ‘the focus of biography is on the subject, not the biographer, yet half the story of a biography is, of course, who is telling the story’ [Rollyson, C. 2020. The Last Days of Sylvia Plath. New York: Blackstone, xi]. This article maintains that the writing process facilitates identity development by writing ourselves into existence. This experience is conveyed while focusing on issues of self-reflexivity and writer agency, alongsid...

We propose an integrated deep learning model for morphological segmentation, morpheme tagging, part-of-speech (POS) tagging, and syntactic parsing onto dependencies, using cross-level contextual information flow for every word, from segments to dependencies, with an attention mechanism at horizontal flow. Our model extends the work of Nguyen and Verspoor (2018) on joint POS tagging and dependency parsing to also include morphological segmentation and morphological tagging. We report our resul...

This article focuses on the development of a network learning system to enhance professional learning in Initial Teacher Education (ITE) through collaboration in a university–school partnership. The Chilean education system, characterised by market-oriented reforms and competition, serves as a unique context where to explore the development of an initiative designed to reframe relationships between ITE staff and school teachers with the purpose of reducing the distance between academic prepar...

The early history of basketball and its diffusion to Scotland is yet to be fully acknowledged and recorded. Two themes are addressed in this article: the spread of basketball worldwide and the process of its translocation to a new country; and whether it was voluntarily accepted or culturally imposed or both upon its new host. Some of the preliminary contributions to knowledge about the global diffusion of basketball during its infancy are added to and reimagined, with a specific focus regard...
