Towards Dignity And Respect At Work: An Exploration Of Bullying In The Public Sector, Maryam Omari

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

Organisations today function in complex and dynamic environments which exert continual pressure to change and compete.

Dickens's Hamlet Burlesque, Daniel Pollack-Pelzner Jan 2007

Dickens's Hamlet Burlesque, Daniel Pollack-Pelzner

Faculty Publications

Daniel Pollack-Pelzner considers what an interlude in Great Expectations involving a spectacularly bad production of Hamlet can do for Hamlet.
