SUMMARY:Whitechapel Girl - Special Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Rediscovering the “Whitechapel Girl” \nThey are remembered as the “Whitechapel Boys\,” a group of writers and artists who came from the Jewish working-class district of London and forged promising careers through the early part of the twentieth century.  Isaac Rosenberg wrote some of the finest poetry to emerge from the First World War.  Mark Gertler and David Bomberg became significant modernist painters. \nWhat tends to get lost is that one of the “Boys” was a “Girl.”  Clare Winsten\, born Clara Birnberg\, studied at the Slade from 1910 to 1912\, and developed a fascinating body of work as a painter and sculptor.  She became good friends with George Bernard Shaw\, and illustrated three of his books. \nClara Birnberg became Clare Winsten when she married the writer\, Stephen Winsten.  He was imprisoned as a conscientious objector during the First World War\, as she gave birth to the first of the couple’s two daughters.  Stephen’s imprisonment led to Clare’s producing a series of haunting illustrations to Oscar Wilde’s The Ballad of Reading Gaol.   \nAs part of the exhibition\, “Colours More Than Sentences: Illustrated Editions of The Ballad of Reading Gaol\,” running at the Berkshire Record Office until 8th June\, the University of Reading Department of English has invited scholar and curator\, Sarah Macdougall of the Ben Uri Gallery\, to share her new research on Winsten’s life and career.  Macdougall will be talking about her rediscovery of the “Whitechapel Girl” at a public lecture at the Berkshire Record Office in Reading at 6-15 p.m. on Thursday 19th April. \nThe lecture and the exhibition are both free\, but places for the lecture are limited.  People can register in advance for the lecture by going to www.berkshirerecordoffice.org.uk/ContactUs.

SUMMARY:Fixing Our Broken Housing Market: a workshop on the way forward
DESCRIPTION:The implications of recent housing policy developments in England and their future direction will be explored at an upcoming one-day workshop run by The UK Collaborative Centre for Housing Evidence and the University of Reading. \n \nFebruary saw the government publish the housing white paper\, Fixing Our Broken Housing Market\, followed by a consultation document on proposals for reform in September. The Secretary of State has also recently announced a forthcoming green paper on social housing\, and significant changes for housing are also expected in the November budget. These developments signal a potential major shift in the direction of housing policy in England and the workshop will explore the way forward. \nSpeakers include: \n\nProfessor David Clapham\, University of Reading\nProfessor Neil Crosby\, University of Reading\nProfessor Geoff Meen\, University of Reading\nProfessor Flora Samuel\, University of Reading\nProfessor Christine Whitehead\, LSE\nRepresentative from central government.\n\nFurther details about the workshop can be found on the Eventbrite page.

SUMMARY:Housing and Cities Academic Forum
DESCRIPTION:Location: London Road Campus\, School of Architecture\, Room G.06 \nThis Academic Forum will provide colleagues the opportunity to discuss their research interests and facilitate research collaboration among the substantial number of researchers working on these issues in research divisions across the university. The workshop will be facilitated by Reading members of the ESRC Housing Evidence Centre CACHE. \nAs part of the agenda\, academic researchers are asked to give a 2-3 minute individual presentation to introduce their particular research interests within Housing and Cities. Upon registration\, please could you send through 2 slides that you will plan to use for this presentation and specify whether your interests lie within Housing\, Cities or both. \nLunch will be provided. If you are interested in attending\, please register a place through Chris Anderson in the Research Deans’ Office by e-mailing c.j.anderson@reading.ac.uk.  For catering purposes\, please confirm whether you have any specific dietary requirements. \nWe hope you can attend and look forward to seeing you.

SUMMARY:RIBE Seminar - School of the Built Environment
DESCRIPTION:Understanding city-scale environment for people and microbes\nPresenter: Prof Yuguo Li from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Hong Kong \nA livable habitat is necessary and essential for both people and microorganisms. Many scientists and engineers explored how major environment parameters in a habitat are maintained and changed\, and how we might design such habitat for improving the environment and climate for its occupants\, and for controlling the transmission of infectious microbes. The transport phenomena at the micro-scale surface touch and meso-scale city climate are linked. \nOur research team at the University of Hong Kong has been attempting to understand the physics of such city-scale environment. I shall report our recent progress in understanding the possible new local synergistic warming phenomenon in Hong Kong\, how the urban heat island circulation impact on urban air pollution/climate\, and how the microbes are transmitted on the surface network and indoor contact network in a large city\, and how these findings may impact on city design and policy. \nBio\nDr. Yuguo Li is Professor\, Associate Dean of Engineering (Research) and former Head of Department of Mechanical Engineering\, The University of Hong Kong. He studied at Shanghai Jiaotong University\, Tsinghua and KTH in Stockholm\, and was a Principal Research Scientist at CSIRO. His main research interests are on built environment engineering (indoor air quality\, city climate\, and environment studies of infection). He led the development of 2009 WHO guidelines on natural ventilation.  He currently serves as an Associate Editor of Indoor Air\, and President of ISIAQ Academy of Fellows. He received John Rydberg Gold Medal from SCANVAC in 2014\, and an Honorary Doctor Degree from Aalborg University\, Denmark\, 2015 and the Inoue Memorial Award\, SHASE\, Japan in 2016. He was elected a Fellow of ASHRAE\, ISIAQ\, HKIE\, and IMechE. \nIf anyone is interested to meet Prof Yuguo Li for research discussion\, please email to  Dr Zhiwen (Vincent) Luo (z.luo@reading.ac.uk) to make an arrangement.
