Batchelder, Batcheller Genealogy
Stephen Bachiler (1561-1660) attended Oxford University, and became a non-conformist minister. He married three times and emigrated in 1632 to join a daughter and her family in Lynn, Massachusetts. Apparently he returned on a visit to England and died there. Joseph, Henry, Joshua and John Batcheller were four brother who emigrated from England to various towns in Essex County, Massachusetts in the 1630s. Descendants and relatives lived in New England, New York, Ohio and elsewhere. Includes listings of other Batchelder, Batcheller, Bachiler immigrants to the United States, as well as Bachellers in the Revolutionary War and in the Civil War. Also contains ancestry and genealogical data about the Batchelder, Batcheller, Bachiler families in England to the 1100s and 1200s.
Suburbia Reimagined
Worldwide, more and more people are living in cities, with suburbs conceived as appendages to the city, rather than being part of the city system, which is densely populated and offers a full range of services. But suburbs are not the city spread too thin, and in fact hold potential for a lived complexity as satisfying as that assumed to be available in inner cities. Just as the ecological function of wetlands was ignored by modernist planning, and swamps once-drained are now recognised as vital to water cycles, suburbs are increasingly recognised as part of a city’s wellbeing with their own alternative ideology and opportunities for urbanity and ecological sustainability.

Housing as Intervention
Across the world, the housing crisis is escalating. Mass migration to cities has led to rapid urbanisation on an unprecedented scale, while the withdrawal of public funding from social housing provision in Western countries, and widening income inequality, have further compounded the situation. In prosperous US and European cities, middle- and low-income residents are being pushed out of housing markets increasingly dominated by luxury investors. The average London tenant, for example, now pays an unaffordable 49 per cent of his or her pre-tax income in rent. Parts of the developing world and areas of forced migration are experiencing insufficient affordable housing stock coupled with rapidl...
Dual Cities
Growing up in tandem and maturing as urban democracies during the 19th and 20th centuries, London and New York have both influenced the shape and form of cities around the world. There is much that connects the two: global ambitions, post-industrial economies and international demographics. As both cities grapple with a housing crisis, fuelled by escalating prices, ageing stock and a scarcity of genuinely affordable homes, homelessness and inequality have become entrenched. The two metropolises are united by a pressing need to address urban housing provision and social equity. Offering a practical guide to the past, present and future of housing, Dual Cities explores social and affordable ho...
Practicing Archetype
Practicing Archetype addresses performer training, specifically the self-pedagogy of actors who train solo, on their own, as an independent learning process, an opportunity for embodied research, and a form of critical pedagogy. Joining the current critical and inclusive turn in performer training, the author reconfigures the psychophysical ‘work on self’ trope as ‘encounters with the self' and turns to the genre of solo performance, including examples of solo activism from recent years, for a deeper understanding into how the self always already implicates and relates to others. The space that opens in the dialogue between performer training and solo performance is negotiated around t...
