SUMMARY:Reading International - Curatorial Network talk #2: Kerry Campbell
DESCRIPTION:Luton-based curator Kerry Campbell will speak about her work as founder and director of ‘TMT Projects’\, an arts platform through which she’s delivered exhibitions and events in spaces such as former hat factories\, pubs\, empty shops and youth centres since 2012. \nKerry’s divergent academic interests include working class history\, post-industrial communities and diversifying arts engagement. Kerry will also cite the history of alternative arts education from the Bauhaus to the present day\, an interest catalysed through her time studying with ‘School of the Damned’ – a radical peer-led alternative arts MA.

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.

SUMMARY:II IntermIdia Conference: 'The Moving Form of Film: Exploring Intermediality as a Historiographic Method'
DESCRIPTION:From its birth\, the film medium has fuelled debates around its possible specificity versus its obvious connections with other arts and media. In recent days\, with the advent of digital technologies that trigger and depend on media convergence\, it has become indisputable that film is inherently intermedial\, giving scope for reconsidering film history in light of the medium’s moving\, all- encompassing form. As Alain Badiou summarises\, it is impossible to think cinema outside of a general space made of its connections to the other arts. He says: ‘Cinema is the seventh art in a very particular sense. It does not add itself to the other six while remaining on the same level as them. Rather\, it implies them – cinema is the “plus-one” of the arts. It operates on the other arts\, using them as its starting point\, in a movement that subtracts them from themselves’ (2005: 79). This conference will build on such an understanding by investigating the ways in which intermediality\, rather than obstructing\, enhances film’s artistic endeavour. More pointedly\, it will ask: how can intermediality help us to understand the history of cinema as a whole? \nBroadly speaking\, ‘intermediality’ refers to the interbreeding of artistic and technical medial forms. The uses of the term hark back to the 1960s and Higgins (1966; 1981)\,who applied it to an array of countercultural artistic phenomena of the time. Through the years\, the concept has evolved to encompass an ‘inflation’ of definitions (Pethö 2010)\, which concur in the celebration of ‘hybridisation’\, ‘transnationalism’\, ‘multiculturalism’ and cross-fertilisations of all sorts. As for cinema\, intermediality has gained prominence among other more established approaches\, such as comparative\, intertextual\, adaptation and genre-based studies\, for its wider premise that keeps the interrogation into the properties of the medium constantly on the critic’s horizon (Rajewsky 2010). This conference will look at medial interstices\, intercultural encounters and creative clashes where the specificities of cinema are questioned and re-fertilised into new forms. Its ultimate aim will be to stimulate an overarching exploration of and theorising on the uses of intermediality as a historiographic method. \nVisit the II IntermIdia Conference webpage for more information about guest speakers\, venue and bookings.

SUMMARY:Annual Cole Lecture: The Egg and Sperm Race
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to welcome gyuest speaker Professor Matthew Cobb\, Professor of Zoology at University of Manchester to deliver this year’s Cole Lecture \nWhere do we come from? For thousands of years we really had no clue. In the mid-seventeenth century\, human eggs and sperm were discovered but their role wasn’t understood for another 180 years. Professor Matthew Cobb will describe how these amazing discoveries were made\, and how rivalry spilled over into enmity.
