SUMMARY:Summer Workshop in Videographic Research Methods
DESCRIPTION:Following a successful debut in 2022\, we are pleased to announce a second Summer Workshop in Videographic Research Methods. Last year’s workshop was advertised to researchers across Reading’s Arts and Humanities disciplines – this time we are inviting expressions of interest from UoR colleagues working in all research areas. \nContext \nThe digital reworking of sound and image is an exciting and rapidly developing research practice. This workshop is designed to make these methods available to researchers at Reading\, across a variety of disciplines. A major ambition of the workshop is to develop the skills of researchers beyond film and television studies\, where these approaches are now firmly established. We believe there are significant and underexplored opportunities in applying videographic approaches to other subjects. \nThe workshop \nThe workshop will take place in Minghella Studios\, July 10th – 14th 2023. It will involve: \n\nbasic technical training in non-linear editing and related technologies\nproducing and sharing feedback on a series of exercises in response to briefs designed to engage with different and videographic approaches\ndiscussion of existing video essays and debates in the wider field of videographic scholarship\nreflection on videographic analysis and archival material\nplanning a longer audiovisual essay\, with opportunities for feedback later in the vacation\nlunch and refreshments.\n\nParticipants will nominate and work with an item of audiovisual material or material object relevant to their research\, as a means of ‘testing out’ how to develop critical ideas through editing. No prior experience or equipment is required (computers with appropriate software will be available at the workshop). \nThe workshop will once again be led by Screen Working Group / CFAC Co-Director Adam O’Brien and H&C Research Dean John Gibbs\, an audiovisual essayist with several years’ experience of teaching videographic criticism. It will also draw on expertise from colleagues in Special Collections and the wider videographic field. \nApplications \nIf you are interested in taking part\, please complete the expression of interest form and return it to adam.obrien@reading.ac.uk by Friday March 3rd. \nThe form invites you to confirm your availability for the dates and duration of the workshop\, to provide information about your research context\, and to identify an object of study\, indicating what potential there might be for working with it through audiovisual means. \nRSVP by Friday March 3rd.  \nPlease contact Screen Work Group Lead Adam O’Brien with any questions (adam.obrien@reading.ac.uk). \nTestimonials from 2022 \n“This was the most productive skills event I have encountered during my almost 15 years of working at the University. Its tight focus\, collegiality\, mix of academic and practical expertise\, and its lecturer-centered approach were especially welcome.” \n“Working in cultural studies\, I work across a range of different media. The workshop gave me the opportunity to work with audiovisual material in a different way\, improving my aesthetic analysis\, and also to think about different types of research output I can produce.” \n“The workshop surpassed my expectations and enabled me to develop new skills which will be useful in both teaching/research. The atmosphere was very supportive\, constructive and encouraging. It was also beneficial to be able to engage with colleagues beyond my department and breakdown the silos that can characterize research at a university.” \nExplore videographic methods… \nIf you are not yet familiar with videographic work\, these examples may help to illustrate the exciting potential and variety of the approach: \nPasta as prologue: the Spaghetti House siege on film (Charlie Shackleton): Two different dramatisations of the 1975 siege of a Knightsbridge restaurant by Black British radicals remind us that history also needs its agitators. \nThe Elephant Man’s Sound\, Tracked (Liz Greene): A deep archival dive into sound design\, David Lynch and creative-labour politics. \nThe Mighty Maestro on Screen (Evelyn Kreutzer): A study of gesture\, movement and music\, through the figure of the on-screen orchestral conductor. \n‘Say\, have you seen the Carioca?’ (John Gibbs): Moving between film\, popular music\, histories of dance and cinema exhibition practice; looking afresh at relationships between different historical periods and national cinemas. \nMediated Auscultation (Emilija Talijan): Stethoscopes\, bodies\, sounds\, modernism\, still and moving images.

SUMMARY:The Fairbrother Lecture - Behind Electric Eyes: Facial Recognition Surveillance in Public Spaces
DESCRIPTION:Automatic facial recognition technology is increasingly used by both public and private sector organisations to manage and police public spaces. The operation of facial recognition in public spaces – and our access to the right to privacy – shifts depending on whether it is a public or a private sector organisation that is watching us. But does it make a difference who is watching and why? And what does it mean for our right to privacy? \nFacial recognition surveillance is used to identify and verify people in real time but without any obligation to gain their consent. While public sector surveillance must be justified by the public interest\, the private sector is able to use facial recognition in pursuit of a range of commercial interests. These interests extend beyond criminal acts and could include activities that might result in an individual being banned from private property\, such as smoking\, walking a dog or taking photos. To complicate matters\, we are often unaware of crossing thresholds into spaces where surveillance is privately controlled. Does the introduction of facial recognition provide us with increased protections\, or hold hidden pitfalls? \nJoin socio-legal researcher William Page to be guided through the growing use of this technology\, what it means for human rights\, the relevance of recent political developments surrounding the potential withdrawal of the Human Rights Act 1998\, and the changing nature of contemporary public spaces. This free public lecture will provide an introduction to the issue\, look at recent research and consider important future questions. Do we understand our rights when under the gaze of electronic eyes? \nThe Fairbrother Lecture is a University public lecture named after Jack Fairbrother who in 1929 became one of the first students to be awarded a PhD from the University. The lecture is an annual event at which a Reading doctoral researcher presents their research to a wider audience. \nRegister to attend.

SUMMARY:Royal Meteorological Society Masterclass: Data Assimilation and Crowdsourced Observations in Numerical Weather
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Professor Sarah Dance\, University of Reading \nWeather forecasts are obtained by combining weather observations with computational predictions using a data assimilation process. Forecast accuracy relies on accurate estimates of the uncertainty in these weather observations. Professor Dance will introduce data assimilation\, the observations used in numerical weather prediction and how observation uncertainty is dealt with in the data assimilation process. \nNew\, inexpensive crowdsourced observations are being investigated for numerical weather prediction to fill gaps in existing scientific observing networks. However\, the uncertainty comparisons between crowdsourced observations and numerical model predictions are not well understood. For example\, the measurements will be affected by their local environment (e.g. a temperature measurement in a sheltered street will give a different reading to one made on the top of a skyscraper). Therefore\, data assimilation algorithms must take account of the discrepancy in space and time scales represented by the model and those observed in the actual process. \nExamples will be given from recent research\, including temperature and wind observations from air traffic control reports and temperature observations from private cars. This talk will also discuss how modern deep learning techniques could be used alongside these datasets to improve numerical weather predictions in the future. \nAbout RMetS and University of Reading Meteorological Masterclasses \nContinuing our online Meteorological Masterclasses in partnership with the University of Reading\, we are pleased to announce a new Masterclass series in “Advances in weather and climate forecasting”. \nDuring this series\, three leading experts from the University of Reading will discuss the latest scientific advances for understanding and predicting weather\, climate and its impacts. Topics to be covered include data assimilation and machine learning; identification of causal pathways in atmospheric teleconnections; and modelling advances in resolution and parameterization for weather forecasting. \nThese masterclasses are intended to provide support for professionals working in Meteorology and Climate Science\, and its operational applications who wish to remain up to date on recent scientific developments in the field. \nMasterclasses will run weekly on Wednesday’s 16th\, 23rd and 30th March 2022 from 3 pm to 4.30 pm (UTC)\, consisting of a presentation followed by the opportunity for questions and discussion with the speaker. Whilst the webinars are part of a series\, attendance at all three events is not compulsory.

SUMMARY:Royal Meteorological Society Masterclass: How do we use the "Weather" in "Numerical Weather Prediction"?
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Professor Peter Clark\, University of Reading \nWe have been forecasting using computer models for well over 50 years. However\, while we soon became used to the idea that so-called ‘NWP’ (Numerical Weather Prediction) models predict the synoptic-scale meteorology\, such as the position and strength of low- or high-pressure regions\, they still lacked the resolution or sufficiently sophisticated representation of physical processes to forecast the ‘weather’ such as rain\, cloud\, fog without additional help from some post-processing or interpretation by meteorologists. \nVast increases in computer power have led\, in part at least\, to increases in model resolution and sophistication\, pioneered in regional models to the extent that they now represent much of the ‘weather’ directly. Model horizontal grid lengths of 1-2 km are now standard\, and some centres are investigating resolutions 10 times higher\, such that some of the motions we would label as ‘turbulence’ are explicitly simulated. This has contributed to considerable improvements in forecasting\, but\, paradoxically\, smaller scales are less predictable than larger scales\, so we are faced with a real dilemma over what we can believe in models and how we extract the best information. \nThis talk and discussion will highlight these issues and discuss some of the work that is happening to help us make the best use of these advances. \nAbout RMetS and University of Reading Meteorological Masterclasses \nContinuing our online Meteorological Masterclasses in partnership with the University of Reading\, we are pleased to announce a new Masterclass series in “Advances in weather and climate forecasting”. \nDuring this series\, three leading experts from the University of Reading will discuss the latest scientific advances for understanding and predicting weather\, climate and its impacts. Topics to be covered include data assimilation and machine learning; identification of causal pathways in atmospheric teleconnections; and modelling advances in resolution and parameterization for weather forecasting. \nThese masterclasses are intended to provide support for professionals working in Meteorology and Climate Science\, and its operational applications who wish to remain up to date on recent scientific developments in the field. \nMasterclasses will run weekly on Wednesday’s 16th\, 23rd and 30th March 2022 from 3 pm to 4.30 pm (UTC)\, consisting of a presentation followed by the opportunity for questions and discussion with the speaker.

SUMMARY:The Great Debate 2022: The Future for Residential Heating
DESCRIPTION:The UK government has published its Heat and Buildings Strategy\, a plan to replace fossil-fuelled\nheating like gas boilers with low-carbon technologies such as heat pumps. This is a comprehensive and groundbreaking strategy that flags a range of complex issues involved in solving a problem like decarbonising heat. \nNatural gas boilers are seen as one of the biggest barriers to the net zero target — they produce 58.5 million tons of carbon dioxide a year\, compared to 27 million cars emitting 56 million tons annually\, the National Housing Federation says. \nWith a ban on new build natural gas fired domestic boilers not far off\, there is considerable uncertainty about what will happen and what the best options are for individual circumstances. \nThe aim of this year’s Great Debate event is to update the audience on these issues and to provide a forum for those attending to ask questions of the experts. \nThe topics to be covered will include:\n1. Why do we need to change the residential heating\n2. Electrical based alternatives\n3. Hydrogen Systems Implications\n4. Ensuring new build delivers carbon reductions \nTime: 19:00 – 21:00\, online\nAdmission free. Booking essential via The Great Debate booking page.

SUMMARY:Royal Meteorological Society Masterclass: Extracting Causal Information from Climate Data
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr Marlene Kretschmer\, University of Reading \nThere are large uncertainties when it comes to predicting extreme regional weather and climate events. A limited causal understanding of the physical drivers of extremes – such as connections to the North Atlantic Oscillation or Madden-Julian Oscillation – compounds the issue when interpreting climate model forecasts. Yet\, to justify taking critical actions in the light of uncertainty\, explanations are crucial because they provide decision-makers with a level of plausibility. \nTherefore\, weather and climate forecasting progress strongly depend on an improved causal understanding of the climate system by analysing the large data sets from observations and climate models. A physical knowledge of the underlying mechanisms and different statistical techniques is needed. \nIn this talk\, Dr Kretschmer will show how recent causality research advancements can help reconcile the two. A causal approach requires explicitly including expert knowledge in the statistical analysis\, allowing for quantitative conclusions. This session will illustrate some of the key concepts of this theory with concrete examples of well-known atmospheric teleconnections and will discuss the particular challenges and advantages these imply for climate science. \nAbout RMetS and University of Reading Meteorological Masterclasses \nContinuing our online Meteorological Masterclasses in partnership with the University of Reading\, we are pleased to announce a new Masterclass series in “Advances in weather and climate forecasting”. \nDuring this series\, three leading experts from the University of Reading will discuss the latest scientific advances for understanding and predicting weather\, climate and its impacts.
