SUMMARY:Spring Online Alumni Lecture Series: COVID – Stories from the Frontline – Culture Shock: How COVID has changed the arts
DESCRIPTION:COVID-19 has caused havoc and upheaval in ways no-one could have foreseen. In our spring online Alumni Lecture Series\, we welcome University of Reading graduates from diverse backgrounds and industries to share their experiences and expertise on how the global pandemic has changed their sectors. \nThe global pandemic has had a devastating impact on the cultural sector – both in the UK and around the world. Diverse activities from live performances and theatre productions to exhibitions and galleries\, have seen revenue fall dramatically as venues have closed their doors and gatherings have been limited by lockdowns and social distancing. \nUniversity of Reading Vice-Chancellor\, Professor Robert Van de Noort wil be joined by successful music agent and executive\, Reading graduate Emma Banks (BSc Food Science\, 1989)\, who will share her experiences of how COVID-19 has impacted the music industry. This online discussion will provide an insight into what Emma thinks the short and long-term consequences are for the industry and what lessons she’s learnt from the pandemic. \nEmma works for Creative Artists Agency (CAA) – a leading entertainment and sports agency – where she represents many of the world’s leading musicians\, including Katy Perry\, Muse\, Arcade Fire\, Red Hot Chili Peppers\, Florence + The Machine\, and Kylie Minogue. \nAttendance free\, but booking essential.

SUMMARY:Royal Economic Society Annual Public Lecture 2021: Why digital is so disruptive
DESCRIPTION:The Royal Economic Society is pleased to announce that the RES Annual Public Lecture will be held online on Thursday 6 May between 1pm – 2.30pm. Bookings are now open. \nEstablished in 2001\, our Annual Public Lecture provides an opportunity for school students to watch internationally-renowned economists present their research. Principally aimed at sixth form students\, the APL has become an established part of the senior school calendar. This year’s event will be online and co-hosted by the University of Reading and the University of York. \nThis year’s lecture will be chaired by RES President Dame Carol Propper and delivered by Prof. Diane Coyle CBE\, Bennett Professor of Public Policy at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences. \nWhy digital is so disruptive: The Internet can be traced back to 1969\, the World Wide Web to 1990\, and iPhone to 2007 – yet it is only in the past few years that “digital disruption” has become a big theme in business. In this lecture\, Diane Coyle\, Bennett Professor of Public Policy at the University of Cambridge\, and an expert on the digital economy\, will explore why digital technology is rewiring the economy – especially now so much activity has been driven online – what economists are learning about its consequences\, and how economic policies need to change. \nPartners: Royal Economic Society and University of York \nFor more information please click here.

SUMMARY:Languages in Lockdown
DESCRIPTION:Over the last year\, measures to contain the COVID-19 pandemic have affected our lives in unprecedented ways. One notable change has been the amount of time children have spent at home during repeated lockdowns and school closures. In families where more than one language is spoken\, this new situation had the potential to change patterns of language use. \nIn the spring and summer of 2020\, a team of researchers in the UK and one in Norway came together to get a snapshot of language use in multilingual families during the first lockdown through a survey. In this webinar researchers from the Centre for Literacy and Multilingualism (UK)\, UCL (UK)\, and MultiLing (Norway) will share some of the insights from this work\, and they will be joined on the panel by parents who took part in the research. \nWe welcome audience participation\, and there will be ample opportunity to engage with questions from participants. \nThis event is being held in conjunction with the Center for Multilingualism in Society across the Lifespan (MultiLing)\, Bilingualism Matters @ Reading and UCL BiLingo. For more information please see the event poster. \nThis online event is free and open to all. Please register your interest to receive a personal invitation: http://bit.ly/3sqVZqc

SUMMARY:Children's Literature in Translation: A window into the cultural changes of '68
DESCRIPTION:Children’s literature in translation: a window into the cultural changes of ’68\nDr Sophie Heywood \nInternational Mother Language Day Annual Public Lecture \nThe Centre for Literacy and Multilingualism (CeLM) and the Centre for Book Cultures and Publishing (CBCP) are delighted to invite you to our annual public lecture celebrating International Mother Language Day at the University of Reading. \nBooks play an important role in our understanding of how society changes\, both at the time of the change and in the long view of historical events. In this public lecture Dr Sophie Heywood will illustrate how the global upheaval caused by the protest movements of 1968 fuelled an explosion of radical creativity in children’s literature. By tracing the journeys of key books such as Where the Wild Things Are and The Little Red Schoolbook as they travelled across different countries\, Dr Heywood will explore the crucial role that translations and cultural exchange played in the ‘children’s ’68’. How did concepts of what was ‘radical’ in children’s books change across time\, place and context? And what were the long-term legacies of this watershed moment on children’s culture in Europe? \nThis online event is free and open to all. Please register your interest to receive a personal invitation: http://bit.ly/2KYp9N6 \nFor further information please see the event information

SUMMARY:Sport and COVID: What do we know?
DESCRIPTION:Sport and COVID: What do we know?\nUniversity of Reading Public Lecture by Professor James Reade (Economics) \nSport\, like most aspects of our lives\, has been heavily disrupted by Covid-19. Even as a vaccine begins to be rolled out\, sporting events are being cancelled\, rescheduled\, or adapted to fit Covid-19. Sport without fans has become normal\, yet before March 2020 less than 200 elite football matches had ever taken place without fans in the stadium. Removing all fans has affected sports clubs financially\, and arguably also on the field – a number of academic studies have shown that this affects outcomes\, especially for the visiting team. Sports events are mass events\, and before now scant attention has been paid to their potential public health risk. Yet how much did they contribute to the first wave? Have they contributed at all in the second one? \nIn this talk Professor James Reade\, Head of Department of Economics\, will review the evidence that has been accumulated over the last year.

SUMMARY:Methods for Participatory Development and Communications
DESCRIPTION:Global Research Division workshop \nUsing visual methods to enable participatory action-research: women and Zero-Budget Natural Farming in Andhra Pradesh\, India – Henny Osbahr and Grady Walker  \nWe use participatory photography when reporting on Zero-Budget Natural Farming approaches in Andhra Pradesh\, India. Reporting of sustainable agricultural innovation practice has not always created space for marginalised voices. Participatory action-research merges theory with action and participation\, while challenging institutionalised academic methods of collecting and curating knowledge. It relies on the accumulation of knowledge through participant action and seeks to advance the interests of underrepresented groups and classes\, including in policy debate. In this short presentation\, we will highlight how the approach was used to facilitate a channel for self-help groups of women to explain their often subjective reasons for adopting innovative rural practice. \nUnderstanding how participatory scenario planning can support learning for social-ecological resilience  – Sam Poskitt  \nParticipatory scenario planning (PSP) is widely used for public engagement and co-production by researchers and practitioners with the expectation that this can encourage learning that supports progress towards social-ecological resilience. However\, thus far there is limited theoretically informed analysis regarding how PSP may support learning in this context. In this presentation\, I will explain how I developed a conceptual framework to help understand how PSP can support learning and then applied this framework to an empirical study of learning in PSP processes that focuses on social-ecological resilience. \nOne step backwards\, one step sideways: notes at the margins of a participatory ethno-fiction – Lorenzo D’Angelo \nThis presentation aims to discuss the choices behind the making of a film shot in collaboration with people living in a gold-mining area in South-Western Uganda. Among other features\, this is a locality in which Ugandan security services keep an active eye on gold mining sites and on a researcher eager to film. Hence\, the presentation will reflect on issues such as: What is the relationship between reality\, fiction\, and storytelling? To what extent can collaborative ethnography be participatory? \n\,

SUMMARY:Methodologies for Global Development Research\,
DESCRIPTION:A Global Development Research Division workshop \nEthnographic perspectives on the drug trade – Tom Grisaffi  \nHow can you collect data on illegal activities? Tom will give a brief history of ethnographic methods and how he has used this approach to study politics and cocaine production in Bolivia and Peru. He will highlight three key areas: how to negotiate access\, how to conduct fieldwork\, and how to write up the data. \nThe ‘difference in differences’ methodology for impact evaluation – Stefania Lovo \n‘Difference in differences’ is a quantitative method for impact evaluation that uses observational data from before and after a particular event took place. It is widely used because it is intuitive and fairly flexible. In her presentation\, Stefania will provide a non-technical overview of how the method works and its main advantages using examples from her own research. \nThe walking interview: experiences from Mozambique – Alex Arnall  \nIn recent years there has been growing interest in the walking interview method\, during which the researcher accompanies people as they move around the landscape. Alex will share experiences of carrying out walking interviews with small-scale farmers in Mozambique – what the strengths of the method are plus some of the potential pitfalls. \nWhen no does not mean no: a story of gender preferences in online vacancies – Tho Pham \nTho will highlight the applications of machine learning in economics/development research with reference to a work-in-progress where she looks at gender preference hidden in online job ads. First\, she will describe the data collection procedure where job vacancies posted on various job sites are scrapped on daily basis. Second\, she will briefly discuss some machine learning techniques\, namely semi-supervised Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and Random Forest (RF)\, which are used to examine the job ads’ text to determine embedded gender preference. \nJoin Microsoft Teams Meeting
