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:Revisiting Coercion as an Element of Prohibited Intervention in International Law
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Professor Marko MilanovicInternational Law: Revisiting Coercion as an Element of Prohibited Intervention in International Law. \nWednesday 22 February\, 17:00\, G11\, Henley Business School \nIn his inaugural lecture\, Professor Milanovic will argue that coercion can be understood in two different ways or models. \nFirst\, coercion as extortion\, as a threat to engage or continue engaging in some activity (which itself may be lawful or unlawful) in order to extract some kind of concession from the victim state – in other words\, an act targeting the victim state’s will or decision-making calculus. \nSecond\, coercion can be understood as the actual deprivation of the victim state’s ability to make its sovereign choices\, which may be done even through acts like cyber operations that the victim state may be unaware of. Professor Milanovic will argue that many of the difficulties surrounding the notion of coercion arise as consequence of failing to distinguish between these two different models. \nProfessor Milanovic is Professor of Public International Law at the University of Reading and Director of Global Law at Reading. \nRegister to attend[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
