SUMMARY:Meteorological Masterclass: Heatwaves and Climate Change in Urban Microclimates
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday 24 March 2021: Heatwaves and climate change in urban microclimates\nProfessor Sue Grimmond\, University of Reading \nThe focus of this talk is on heatwaves and how urban areas can exacerbate their impact because of the well-known canopy layer urban heat island effects\, and why cities and their residents are particularly vulnerable. Impacts of heatwaves have been very significant if people are not appropriately prepared (as witnessed during the 2003 heatwave across Europe). Attention will be directed to the important impact of scale and an understanding of the dynamics of urban climate\, challenges in predictions and advance warning\, and strategies and interventions for heat stress mitigation. \nPart of the University of Reading /Royal Meteorological Society Masterclass Series: Anticipating floods\, droughts and heatwaves. Other dates include: \nWednesday 24 February 2021: Flood forecasting hours to months ahead\nDr Linda Speight: University of Reading \nThis Masterclass will discuss the very latest work in probabilistic hydrometeorological forecasting – hours to months ahead – and the use and communication of flood forecasts to support decision-making. It will look at how well we can forecast floods at a range of scales and how we can balance lead time and uncertainty to answer the important operational question “when and where will impact occur?”. It will also cover how flood forecasting can be used in locations with limited data to support early action and will close with a discussion on what the future research directions are for flood forecasting. \n  \nWednesday 10 March 2021: Representing convection in Numerical Weather Prediction models and its implications\nProfessor Bob Plant\, University of Reading \nThe forecasting of convective precipitation remains among the most challenging and mosst stubborn problems in meteorology. In this talk\, Bob will review the fundamental scientific challenges\, discuss recent progress and advances being made in this field\, and highlight some of the implications for operational forecasting. \nAbout the series\nThese masterclasses are intended to provide additional training for professionals working in Meteorology and Climate Science\, and its operational application. \nEach masterclass webinar will run from 3pm to 4.30pm\, starting with a presentation followed by the opportunity for questions and discussion with the speaker. While the webinars are part of a series\, delegates can choose which seminars they attend (attendance at all three is not compulsory). \nRegistration:  Member: £20.00 | Non-member: £25.00 \nLast year we welcomed 542 delegates throughout the series – view all three seminars on the RMetSoc YouTube channel here. \n

SUMMARY:Griselda Pollock: 'Gesture\, Affect and the Post-Traumatic Image\, or Raphael in Art and Art’s Histories after the Holocaust and in Contemporary Art'
DESCRIPTION:Art & History of Art CLUB Talks\nDepartment of Art\, supported by the UoR Arts Committee \nGriselda Pollock discusses her pre-recorded lecture entitled\, Gesture\, Affect and the Post-Traumatic Image\, or Raphael in Art and Art’s Histories after the Holocaust and in Contemporary Art. \nGriselda Pollock is Professor emerita of Social and Critical Histories of Art (1990- 2020) and Director of the Centre for Cultural Analysis\, Theory & History (CentreCATH) (2001-) at the University of Leeds. Griselda Pollock has taught for over 40 years in a School of Fine Art as a feminist\, a social-historical  art historian and a cultural analyst. In this lecture she creates transdisciplinary encounters between art and history\, feminist and trauma theory\, making and thinking\, and the innovative forms through which the aesthetic and ethical challenges of art in a post-traumatic condition can be explored.  Challenging the progressive logic of narrative\, periodised art history\, she presents and elaborates a new installation in her virtual feminist museum with film\, literature and images that relay artists’ engagement with art and history through the relations of time\, space and the archive in contemporary art making. \nGriselda Pollock develops international\, queer\, postcolonial\, feminist analyses of art’s diverse histories by formulating new concepts with which to deliver ‘feminist interventions in art’s histories’: Old Mistresses: Women\, Art & Ideology (1981 New edition Bloomsbury\, 2020)\, Vision and Difference: Feminism\, Femininity & the Histories of Art (1988)\, Avant-Garde Gambits: Gender and the Colour of Art History (1992)\, Generations and Geographies in the Visual Arts (1992/96)\, Differencing the Canon: Feminist Desire and the Writing of Art’s Histories (1999) Encounters in Virtual Feminist Museum: Time\, Space and the Archive (2007 and After-affects/After-images: Trauma and Aesthetic Transformation in the Virtual Feminist Museum (2013). Her most recent publications include the major monograph and first major art historical study of the artist\, Charlotte Salomon and the Theatre of Memory [Leben? oder Theater? 1941-43] (Yale\, 2018) and writings on Yael Bartana\, Laura Mulvey\, Penny Siopis\, Monica Weiss and Christine Taylor-Patten. Crossing art\, museology\, philosophy and film\, she analyses the perennial threat of ‘the concentrationary universe’ created by the totalitarianisms of the twentieth century: Griselda Pollock & Max Silverman (eds)\, the Concentrationary Cinema (2009)\, Concentrationary Memories (2011) and Concentrationary Imaginaries (2015); Concentrationary Art: Jean Cayrol\, the Lazarean and the Everyday in Post-war Film\, Literature\, Music and the Visual Arts (2019). Forthcoming are books on Memory and Place on the work of Van Gogh\, The Agency of Marilyn Monroe and on abstract painting titled Killing Men and Dying Women: Painting and Imag(in)Difference in 1950s New York (Manchester University Press).
