SUMMARY:Multilingualism and Social Justice
DESCRIPTION:Join the Centre for Literacy and Multilingualism (CeLM) on International Mother Language Day (21st February) for their online public lecture “Multilingualism and Social Justice”. \nLeading academics from across disciplines from CeLM at the University of Reading will come together to present and discuss their international research with multilingual children and adults; research that challenges social inequality. How do minoritized young people experience education\, migration and health provision and how does their multilingualism sit within wider issues of race\, disability and access to services? \nA round table discussion format will provide an opportunity for the audience to engage with experts in the field. \n\nDr Naomi Flynn will talk about her research in US schools examining a language-rich pedagogy shown to improve educational outcomes of minoritized groups of learners.\nDr Vishnu Nair will talk about racial disproportionality of minoritized children in speech and language services through the intersecting lens of race and disability.\nDr Tony Capstick will talk about Multilingual pedagogies and social justice in language education in the Global South.\nDr Federico Faloppa will talk about Multilingualism (and mother tongues) through multilingual unaccompanied minors’ perspectives. A round table discussion will provide an opportunity for the audience to engage in discussion with experts in the field.\n\nAdmission free. Booking essential. \nPlease visit the event page to book your place.

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: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.

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
