SUMMARY:Public Lecture: Albert Wolters Lecture 2019
DESCRIPTION:Delivered by Professor Daniel C. Dennett\, Center for Cognitive Studies\, Tufts University \nAutonomy is a fancy word for self-control. It comes in degrees\, and while some varieties can be largely the achievement of unconscious control—for instance\, the abilities to stand\, walk\, run and avoid obstacles—the morally important varieties require consciousness: you can’t make a promise or be “moved by reasons” without the ability to entertain alternatives\, think about both the past and the future\, and make informed decisions under uncertainty. We are not born with these abilities and achieving the level of autonomy of a morally responsible agent takes years of experience and maturation. This self-control is the only variety of free will worth wanting\, and it has nothing to do with whether physics is deterministic or not. A thought experiment about emancipating a drone\, making it more and more autonomous\, reveals the outlines of the role of language and consciousness in making us the sorts of things that can be trusted to keep a promise. \nAdmission free\, booking essential. \n

SUMMARY:Introduction to Bibliometrics (Research Staff Development Opportunity)
DESCRIPTION:Bibliometric data are increasingly used in research assessment exercises and in recruitment decisions but they can also give you insights into how your research is being used by others and help you to make informed journal choices. This session will introduce some commonly used bibliometrics and explain how they are calculated and what they mean. The issues behind the responsible use of metrics will also be explored. A hands-on section of the session will use tools such as Scopus\, SciVal\, Google Scholar and InCites to explore bibliometric data sources. This is a 90 minute session however the last 30 minutes will be allocated for hands on tasks.

SUMMARY:Defence and Security Community of Practice: Industry Engagement Seminar
DESCRIPTION:The University of Reading has a long-standing relationship with the Defence and Security Sector. Most recently\, we were chosen to provide degree level education to army officers as part of the Army Higher Education Pathway\, led by Henley Business School and the School of Politics\, Economics\, and International Relations; and on 1 April renewed our Memorandum of Understanding and partnership with the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. These existing relationships\, and the sizeable network of possible partners in the Thames Valley\, offer a unique opportunity to bring together researchers from all relevant disciplines and key stakeholders in the defence and security sector to network and build a Defence and Security Community of Practice\, and to identify key challenges for research and innovation\, and possible collaborative responses to them. \nJoin us for a seminar with representatives from four companies based in the Thames Valley to explore the challenges currently facing the Defence & Security sectors which artificial intelligence\, machine learning and big data could potentially solve\, followed by an informal networking lunch. \nSpeakers include: \n\nJonathan Read of Boeing’s Phantom Works International.\nDarrell Jaya-Ratnam of DIEM Analytics.\nHelen Muncie of Thales Cyber & Consulting Services.\nDick Hemsley of Vedette Consulting.\n\nAt the seminar\, we will explore some defence and security challenges\, explore some research approaches to meet these\, from both an industrial and academic perspective. \nIf you are interested in attending this workshop then please email: workingwithbusiness@reading.ac.uk

SUMMARY:Research Impact (Research Staff Development Opportunity)
DESCRIPTION:Research Staff Development Opportunities. \nThis session is aimed at all research staff within all disciplines. It will introduce the topic of Research Impact\, the good that our research has on the world outside academia\, and outline its importance and the steps that can be taken to achieve it. The Research Impact Team will work with you to understand the impact that your research could have\, the stakeholders that would be interested in your work (including organisations\, policy makers and the general public) and how to approach them and finally how to plan to gather evidence to support impact claims. Pathways to Impact (part of RCUK grant applications) will also be covered. This session will be tailored to suit academics with developed\, developing or potential research impact.

SUMMARY:Writing a Data Management Plan (Research Staff Development Opportunity)
DESCRIPTION:Many public funders of research require applicants to submit a data management plan (DMP) or Technical Plan as part of their application\, detailing what data will be collected in the proposed project\, how data will be managed\, and how and where data will be preserved and made available to others after the project concludes. Whether a funder requires it or not\, if you use data in your research\, you should have a DMP for your project. Writing a DMP can help you plan and execute research effectively\, curate data for maximum utility\, identify and manage risks\, and ensure resource needs are appropriately costed. \nThis 2-hour course will offer practical guidance on developing an effective DMP\, and how to make best use of a DMP in your day-to-day research. Information about data management planning tools and resources to help you will be provided.

SUMMARY:Smart City Cluster in the Thames Valley – How can smart city thinking make a difference in Reading and other parts of the Thames Valley?
DESCRIPTION:Rob McDonald\, Director of Smart Infrastructure at Peter Brett Associates will deliver the next Reading 2050 lecture. Here he outlines the main themes of his presentation. \nWe are living through a time of unprecedented change both in terms of the rate of change in technology but also in the challenges we face. Council budgets are under increasing financial pressure to deliver their core services with worse to come with an aging population and Reading is no exception. At the same time climate has come to the fore and Reading has joined a large number of authorities across the UK in declaring a climate emergency with the aim to be carbon neutral by 2030\, a challenge of a scale which should not be underestimated. \nA smart city approach to thinking needs to be at the core of our response to these challenges\, tackling our big challenges from a wide range of perspectives\, breaking down the silos between specialisms and better engaging with the people who live\, shop and work in our town. Whilst there in an inference that smart cities are all about the technology\, the optimum solution may not be technology led. \n \nReading Borough Council is the lead authority for the Thames Valley Berkshire\, Smart City Cluster project which is acting as a catalyst to accelerate smart city thinking\, building on existing cross authority and cross sector working within the authorities. It is a £1.73m internet of things (IoT) based project funded by Thames Valley Berkshire Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP). This lecture will set out how the project has formed in the way that it has\, balancing the need of the authorities with available funding opportunities. It will set out where we are\, give an overview of the first round of challenges issued to industry and the next steps with the project. \nRob is a Director of Smart Infrastructure at Peter Brett Associates\, now part of Stantec. He has over 25 years of experience in transport planning and ITS with a key focus on research\, innovation and knowledge sharing through UK and European funding. In recent years Rob had developed his focus from intelligent transport systems to a wider smart cities approach\, recognising the need to break out of individual siloes to deliver the places that we want to live in in the future. Rob secured funding and is now leading a LEP funded Smart City Cluster project in Berkshire that will be calling on industry\, in the first instance\, to address challenges around Council services for vulnerable people. Rob is also a keen advocate of embracing disruptive technology changes that will influence the way we travel and is working with his new colleagues in Stantec to bring in their leading-edge experience such as in shared autonomous vehicles. \nThe lecture is part of the ‘Economy and Employment’ theme of the Reading 2050 lecture series\, which provide a platform to discuss how Reading should evolve into a smarter and more sustainable city by 2050 (www.reading2050.co.uk ) \nAdmission to the lecture is free. \nThe SBE\, Barton Wilmore and Reading UK\, established the Reading 2050 group in 2013. The Reading 2050 lecture series is structured around three themes\, which underpin the Reading 2050 vision: \n*Place and Environment\n*People and Lifestyle\n*Economy and Employment \nIn 2017\, the School brought together expert speakers to discuss Reading’s heritage and history\, the future of its transport and energy and the impact of climate change and floods. A discussion on Reading’s Art and Culture was facilitated in 2018\, and there are other Reading 2050 events planned for 2019. \nhttps://livingreading.co.uk/publications-events

SUMMARY:Using Social Media to Communicate and Enhance your Research (Research Staff Development Opportunity)
DESCRIPTION:Research Staff Development Opportunities. \nThis is aimed at all interested researchers. Social media has fast established itself as not only a tool to broadcast information\, but also as a platform for discussion and debate. This session is an introduction to using social media tools to communicate your research effectively. We’ll look at some strategies of how you can get started and manage your social media presence; ways different platforms are used and provide some real life examples of how other researchers have used social media. Finally\, we’ll explore how you can start to measure the success\, or otherwise\, of your social media efforts.

SUMMARY:'Mother-F*ers of Invention: Women in Geriaction' - by the University of Tennessee's Chris Holmlund\, Leverhulme Visiting Professor
DESCRIPTION:“Geriaction” originally referred to the question of how to keep elderly\, largely female\, patients in nursing homes active. In the last decade it has been applied to aging stars in action films. Suddenly the gender emphasis shifted. These days popular and academic critics talk about white male stars from the 1980s who continue to appear in action\, now aged 60-\, 70-\, and 80-plus. \nComparatively little attention has been paid to women in geriaction movies\, though increasing numbers of older female actors are working part-time\, largely in supporting roles\, in English-language action. To think geriaction in relation to women and to performance\, I look at two actresses who are among the most beloved and influential mother-f*ers of action invention: Pam Grier and Sigourney Weaver. Born in 1949\, both turn 70 this year. Both continue to work in action-related movies\, though Grier no longer stars in them and Weaver rarely does. How do age\, race and reputation impact casting and influence reception? When women appear in geriaction\, is physical strength necessary or might know-how and skill\, spirit and spunk\, compensate for decreased agility and wider waistlines? Do older female characters achieve mastery? What kind of mastery\, if so? \nHow we treat aging and the elderly is culturally conditioned. Geriaction films play a part. What might the performances that bad asses like Pam Grier and Sigourney Weaver have given over the past two decades suggest for the future? \nChris Holmlund has long been interested in action film\, stardom and performance. Her books include Female Trouble (2017) and Impossible Bodies (2002). She edited The Ultimate Stallone Reader (2014) and American Cinema of the 1990s (2008) and co-edited Contemporary American Independent Film (2005) and Between the Sheets\, In the Streets: Queer\, Lesbian\, Gay Documentary (1997). She is working on a book on Action Films\, Action Stars for Routledge. She is currently Leverhulme Visiting Professor at the University of Reading.
