SUMMARY:Typography Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Searching for printed images with computer vision  \nAbstract: Computer vision has made rapid progress in recent years: computers can now reliably match the same image; find differences in similar images; and classify content within multiple images. This hands-on session will demonstrate how to install and use state-of-the-art open source software from the University of Oxford’s Visual Geometry Group. Attendees will leave the session with knowledge of how to match\, differentiate\, classify and annotate content within many kinds of images\, but with particular reference to print. \nRequirements: a relatively recent laptop (not a tablet or phone)\, ideally one capable of running Docker (please install in advance\, if possible). Online demos will be provided for those unable to install software. Demonstration data will be provided\, but participants are encouraged to bring along (1) pairs of images exhibiting small differences\, such as variant printings\, restruck coins or altered photographs and (2) collections of images containing identical features\, such as multiple images of buildings\, duplicate photographs or collections of woodcuts and other printed images\, and their original printing surfaces. \nBio: Dr. Giles Bergel (www.printing-machine.org) is a digital humanist and book historian based in the Department of Engineering Sciences at the University of Oxford and the Department of Information Studies at University College London. He has been working on computer vision within the humanities since the creation of the Bodleian Library’s Broadside Ballads Online resource in 2012\, which implements a computer vision tool that is among several that he now manages and supports. HIs other interests include bibliography\, typography and book design; the history of copyright; book trade history; and text encoding \nThe workshop will take place in Typography Room T4.  If you are interested in attending this workshop and have not already registered\, please contact Dr Rob Banham directly – r.e.banham@reading.ac.uk

SUMMARY:Political Voices: A View Across The Border - In Conversation With Danny Kinahan
DESCRIPTION:On November 13\, the Politics and IR Research Seminar will be a little different. As part of marking UK Parliament Week\, we have invited former Ulster Unionist MP and MLA member Danny Kinahan to share his views and insight on the thorny problems of Northern Ireland and Brexit. \nIn accepting the invitation\, Danny said: “It makes obvious sense to discuss Northern Ireland and Brexit now. That means explaining our electoral system and how we got to where we are – and how we manage our way through this quagmire.” \nDanny will present his thoughts and will be happy to take questions from staff and students alike. The event will start at 4.15 and conclude by 5.30pm. It is open to all students and staff.

SUMMARY:Discussion and Debate: Faith In A Changing World
DESCRIPTION:Interfaith Week 2018 \nPolitically and socially\, the world has changed over the last few years in ways that few could predict. In this complex and fast-changing world\, what is the place of religious faith? How have world religions contributed and reacted to social and political changes in recent times?

SUMMARY:Engaging with Policymakers
DESCRIPTION:Researcher Development Programme- Communications Training Sessions \nAt some point in their career\, many researchers will be asked to provide advice to policymakers in government\, the public sector or the private sector. In this session\, we will discuss some of the different ways that researchers can engage with Westminster and with Whitehall. We will look at how policymakers access information to help them make decisions and explore some of the different routes that researchers can use to engage in parliamentary processes. We will also discuss how to write an impartial summary of your research and situate your work in a wider policy context. We will work with practical examples with plenty of time for discussion. \nTo book a place on this session\, please contact peopledevelopment@reading.ac.uk

SUMMARY:Political Voices: Dr Philip Lee MP On Brexit
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Reading to meet our latest ‘Political Voice’. Our guest is both the MP for Bracknell and a practising GP and until June he was a Junior Justice Minister in Theresa May’s Government. Yet this conservative loyalist chose to resign from government over the direction Theresa May’s team has set – and in particular over the Chequers proposal. \nPhillip will be talking about this and about his views on Brexit overall and its impact on the UK. A keen sportsman\, he’s not known for pulling political punches so there’s no doubt his talk and our open Q&A session will be compelling and challenging – who knows\, it might even cross a few ‘red lines’.

SUMMARY:Is Facial Prejudice The Last Taboo?
DESCRIPTION:We are all exposed to a visual diet that tells us that our happiness and success depend on our facial looks. James Partridge\, founder of the charity Changing Faces\, was severely injured in a car fire at the age of 18. He has since worked tirelessly to support people with unusual-looking faces and to raise awareness of our unconscious prejudice against facial disfigurement. He will share his inspiring story of challenging society to stop taking people at ‘face value’. \nHealth Humanities Public Lecture. Admission free. Register to attend this event here. \nFor more information contact Marjorie Gehrhardt at: languages@reading.ac.uk

SUMMARY:Stakeholder Mapping for Research Staff
DESCRIPTION:Researcher Development Programme- Communications Training Sessions \nUnderstanding your key stakeholders and what they want from your research is a fundamental part of any successful communications or engagement plan. This session will introduce some simple tools to help identify and prioritise potential stakeholders and to decide how best to work with them. We will use case studies from research teams across the University and live examples from participants to show how understanding your audiences can help you to improve your research and its impact. Led by Research Communications and Engagement team. This is a new session that is currently being developed. \nPlease reserve the date and time if you think this may be of interest to you\, as it is not yet available to book via Employee Self Service.

SUMMARY:Human Rights\, Global Wrongs: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights at 70
DESCRIPTION:Professor Rosa Freedman\, School of Law\nThe Universal Declaration of Human Rights was created in 1948\, as a method to combat the horrors of Nazi Germany ever happening again. The Declaration sets out that there are fundamental rights that all people have by virtue of being born human. Seventy years later and we see violations of those rights across the world. Torture\, enforced disappearances\, gender-based violence\, repression of political dissidents\, and many more. Recent years have seen the rise of totalitarian regimes and of state-sponsored racism and xenophobia. \n\n\n\nIn this public lecture Professor Rosa Freedman will explain what human rights are\, why they matter\, and the challenges we face in ensuring that individuals have their fundamental rights protected. \n\n\n\n\nPart of the University of Reading’s Public Lecture series \nADMISSION FREE – BOOKING ADVISABLE \n\n\n\nRegister to attend here.

SUMMARY:The Letters of England's Kings and Queens 1154-1215: A vast new resource?
DESCRIPTION:Professor Nicholas Vincent\, University of East Anglia \nUniversity of Reading Stenton Lecture 2018 \nOxford University Press is about to publish the largest corpus of charter materials (essentially the letters and title deeds) preserved for any twelfth-century king. The 4600 such instruments issued in the name of King Henry II not only outnumber those preserved for the kings of France and Germany combined but demonstrate the extent to which Henry II of England towered over his contemporaries and rivals. Ruler of the largest collection of lands assembled in the west since the fall of the empire of Charlemagne\, Henry II was also a patron of literature and intellectuals. At the same time\, he was notorious both as an unfaithful husband to his queen\, Eleanor of Aquitaine\, and as the reputed author of the murder of Thomas Becket\, his archbishop of Canterbury. What does our new collection of materials\, many of them previously unknown or unpublished\, tell us that we did not previously know? What do the charters reveal\, both of the extent of Henry’s grip on power\, in England\, France and Ireland\, and of his more personal relations\, not only with Becket but with a wider circle of courtiers? The result of more than forty years of scholarly endeavour\, the publication of this vast new resource is likely to alter for ever our image of one of medieval Europe’s most fascinating kings. \nProfessor Nicholas Vincent has published a dozen books and some hundred academic articles on various aspects of English and European history in the 12th and 13th centuries\, having arrived at Norwich via Oxford\, Cambridge\, Paris and Canterbury. He is currently finishing an edition of the charters of the Plantagenet kings and queens from Henry II to King John\, and leads a major project researching the background to Magna Carta. He is a Fellow of the British Academy. Professor Vincent teaches courses in medieval European History and the Crusades\, and a 3rd year special subject on the Norman Conquest of England. He also supervises graduate students in most subjects relating to English and European history 1000-1300AD. \nRegister to attend this lecture here. \nWith an accompanying symposium ‘English Royal Charters 1066 -1215: Discoveries\, Gaps and Opportunities’
