SUMMARY:“Now I Hear What You Say” – How Short EAP Courses Can Foster Successful Academic Interactional Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Join the Centre for Literacy and Multilingualism (CeLM) for a free online talk by Clare Wright (University of Leeds)\, Anna Tsakalaki (University of Reading) and Mei Lin (University of Newcastle) on English for Academic Purposes on March 17th at 3.30pm (UK time). \nIn globalised higher education\, strategies to build academic interactional competence can be key to international students’ success\, e.g. in seminars and oral assessments. Linguistically\, academic interaction requires meaning-focused\, other-oriented oral skills\, which can be challenging for international second-language (L2) students to acquire\, even with specific training. \nIn this talk we are going to argue that even short-term English for Academic Purposes (EAP) courses can have valuable potential in boosting oral language strategies and skills\, particularly in listening\, which are needed for successful academic interactional competence. \nIn this study\, we report on data from 230 postgraduate students of mixed L1s. We compared use of L2 (English) listening and speaking strategies at the start and end of a 5-week EAP programme at a UK university. \nWe found a moderate significant improvement over time in meaning-focused listening strategies\, and some evidence in increased use of a wider range of speaking strategies. Further factor analysis revealed a subtle but clear shift towards more other-oriented stance in both listening and speaking strategy use\, although with much individual variation\, and no significant correlation with proficiency. \nThis study is one of the first to use speaker stance analysis in studying L2 academic communication. It provides some initial evidence to suggest that\, if taken further\, strategy teaching may enhance international students’ interactional competence when listening and speaking in a HE learning environment. \nTo register to attend this online talk please click here.

SUMMARY:Speech and Language Therapy Done Right is Social Justice Work
DESCRIPTION:Join the Centre for Literacy and Multilingualism (CeLM) for a free online talk by Warda Farah on speech and language therapy and social justice\, taking place Tuesday February 1st\, at 6.00pm (UK time). \nSpeech and Language Therapy Done Right is Social Justice Work \nOur profession cannot move to the future without confronting and acknowledging its racist and colonial knowledge base. We know that children from Black backgrounds are overrepresented as having Speech & Language Impairments\, due to biased assessment protocols. We know that our current models\, practice base & service delivery is not good enough to bring about equitable change for these children/families. This will be a personal talk sharing my journey in trying to address the above issues and how I believe that we can all use our SLT skills to create meaningful change and social impact. \nWarda Farah (BSc\, PGCert\, HCPC\, MRCSLT) is a Speech and Language Therapist and Founder of Language Waves. Language Waves specialises in using an array of methods to provide culturally diverse therapeutic input for schools and local communities. The service was specifically set up to address the barriers that “minority” families face when accessing speech and language therapy services. \nTo register to attend this online talk please click here.

SUMMARY:The moral and emotional politics of food banking in (post)pandemic London
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Human Geography Research Cluster Seminar Series 2021/22 \nDr. Harry Pettit\, David Robins Research Fellow in Urban Geography\, Geography and Environmental Science \nThis presentation asks the question of how among food bank volunteers and employees a deep ethic of care towards food bank guests can co-exist alongside pervasive judgement regarding their neediness and expectations? Using 6 months of ethnographic fieldwork at an independent food bank in north London during the pandemic\, I argue that volunteers and employees are constantly caught between an emotional compulsion to satisfy guest needs\, the scarce and uneven availability of resources\, and a set of rules designed by management to delimit food bank use. This produces an incessantly messy guest relationship\, within which judgement towards their behaviour becomes one predominant way of squaring the moral and emotional dilemma of being unable to meet their needs. I want to suggest that this messy moral and emotional politics has broad consequences for the imaginaries of welfare. \nClick here to join the meeting[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Decolonising Bereavement Studies: Diversity and Social Justice in the Aftermath of Death
DESCRIPTION:Jane Ribbens McCarthy (The Open University) \nHuman Geography Research Cluster Seminar Series 2021/22 \nDeath\, dying and disposal are well-established topics of study\, both academically in the humanities\, arts\, and social sciences and from medical perspectives\, including the practice of palliative care. Bereavement studies\, however\, occupies a much more ambiguous space as a site for multi-disciplinary academic work\, being very heavily dominated by individualised and medicalised perspectives\, particularly psychiatry and psychology\, and connected to ‘communities of practice’ in bereavement services. Such approaches are underpinned by the humanitarian desire to assist and support people experiencing something termed ‘grief’. \nRecent work on family deaths in Senegal\, however\, has shown the limitations of such terms as ‘bereavement’ and ‘grief’\, rooted in Anglophone linguistic contexts\, and has challenged dominant assumptions in ‘bereavement studies’. At the same time\, following on from the murder of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement\, work to address issues of decolonisation within the academy has gained new momentum. \nThis presentation begins to bring these ‘decolonising’ endeavours\, and ‘bereavement studies’ into dialogue\, seeking to open up conversations in a field that is currently very heavily dominated by particular perspectives that developed in affluent Minority worlds at a particular point in historical time. Such conversations demand new concepts\, raise many new questions framed within different paradigms\, and create opportunities for addressing issues of diversity and social justice in the aftermath of death\, with the potential for further insights for climate justice for the benefit of all. \nFor further information\, contact Ruth Evans (details below)

SUMMARY:Open Research Forum
DESCRIPTION:Join the University’s Open Research Champions to learn about and discuss Open Research. All members of the University are welcome to attend. Visit the event page for details and booking. \nWe have two excellent talks lined up for our September meeting: \nOrganising ourselves for world domination: how junior academics can work together to improve research culture (Jess Butler\, Senior Research Fellow at Centre for Health Data Science\, University of Aberdeen) \nWe are delighted to welcome Jess Butler\, who will discuss how funders and grassroots organisations are seeking to change research culture\, and how early career researchers can be empowered to promote change in their own universities. Jess is a passionate advocate for research improvement and an inspiring communicator. \nThe UNESCO Open Science Recommendation\, Open Research and ethics (Marzia Briel\, PhD student\, School of Law) \nOpen Research Champion Marzia Briel will discuss the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science (in draft). The Recommendation defines shared values and principles for Open Science\, and identifies measures on Open Access and Open Data\, with proposals to bring citizens closer to science and commitments to facilitate the production and dissemination of scientific knowledge around the world. Marzia will bring her expertise in research ethics and the law to bear on discussion of this important legal instrument. \n
