SUMMARY:University Public Lecture (online): What If 2016 Was the Most Consequential Election in American History
DESCRIPTION:What if 2016 was the most consequential election in American history? \nEvery election matters and this year US presidential race is no different. Given President Trump’s controversial first term record\, and more recently\, his poor handling of the health pandemic\, no wonder Democratic candidate\, Joe Biden\, has called this election the last chance to save American democracy. But COVID-19\, the economic crisis it precipitated\, and the Black Lives Matter protests have only exacerbated and highlighted issues that have plagued American politics and society for decades now. Trump is not a historical anomaly. \nWhat if 2016 altered forever the character of the nation? In this lecture\, historian Mara Oliva looks at the political\, economic and social reasons behind Trump’s rise to power\, the impact of his election on democracy at home and abroad and what this means for 2020. \nMara Oliva is Associate Professor of US political history at the University of Reading. \nTo register for this free event\, please click here.

SUMMARY:Children's half-term lecture (online): Cats\, Bats\, and Pointed Hats: Halloween and the history of witchcraft
DESCRIPTION:Children’s half-term lecture (online): Cats\, Bats\, and Pointed Hats: Halloween and the history of witchcraft \nAs shadowy figures walk our streets\, clutching broomsticks\, cauldrons\, and pointed hats\, we ask why witches and magic came to be associated with Hallowe’en. We’ll take a journey back to the 17th century to investigate beliefs about witchcraft in the past\, act as historical detectives gathering stories and evidence\, and find out where some of our Hallowe’en traditions really come from. \nHelen Parish is Professor of History at the University of Reading. She specialises in the history of religion and magic\, and the study of the relationship between the natural and the supernatural in Europe between 1400 and 1800. \nTo register for this free event\, please click here.

Secondly\, the paper elaborates on violence and intimidation in the field and how researchers may succeed or fail in negotiating such risks. \nPresentation\, followed by commentary and Q& A with discussants\, Dr. Yaw Adjei-Amoako and Dr. Vevila Dornelles \nJoin Microsoft Teams Meeting

SUMMARY:Methodologies for Global Development Research\,
DESCRIPTION:A Global Development Research Division workshop \nEthnographic perspectives on the drug trade – Tom Grisaffi  \nHow can you collect data on illegal activities? Tom will give a brief history of ethnographic methods and how he has used this approach to study politics and cocaine production in Bolivia and Peru. He will highlight three key areas: how to negotiate access\, how to conduct fieldwork\, and how to write up the data. \nThe ‘difference in differences’ methodology for impact evaluation – Stefania Lovo \n‘Difference in differences’ is a quantitative method for impact evaluation that uses observational data from before and after a particular event took place. It is widely used because it is intuitive and fairly flexible. In her presentation\, Stefania will provide a non-technical overview of how the method works and its main advantages using examples from her own research. \nThe walking interview: experiences from Mozambique – Alex Arnall  \nIn recent years there has been growing interest in the walking interview method\, during which the researcher accompanies people as they move around the landscape. Alex will share experiences of carrying out walking interviews with small-scale farmers in Mozambique – what the strengths of the method are plus some of the potential pitfalls. \nWhen no does not mean no: a story of gender preferences in online vacancies – Tho Pham \nTho will highlight the applications of machine learning in economics/development research with reference to a work-in-progress where she looks at gender preference hidden in online job ads. First\, she will describe the data collection procedure where job vacancies posted on various job sites are scrapped on daily basis. Second\, she will briefly discuss some machine learning techniques\, namely semi-supervised Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and Random Forest (RF)\, which are used to examine the job ads’ text to determine embedded gender preference. \nJoin Microsoft Teams Meeting

SUMMARY:University Public Lecture (online): Your Voice Speaks Volumes About You: What accent change in English can tell us about England
DESCRIPTION:Your Voice Speaks Volumes About You: What accent change in English can tell us about England\nUniversity Public Lecture (online)\, Professor Jane Setter \nWhy do we speak the way we do\, and why do accent differences in British English fascinate some people and infuriate others? Take a trip across time to discover the origins of different accents of English in England\, recent changes in the way we speak\, and how language and attitudes to it are a reflection of so many other discipline areas\, including history\, geography\, sociology\, politics and economics. \nJane Setter is Professor of Phonetics in the Department of English Language and Applied Linguistics and a National Teaching Fellow. Probably best known for her popular science book\, Your Voice Speaks Volumes: it’s not what you say\, but how you say it (OUP\, 2019) and the Cambridge English Pronouncing Dictionary (CUP\, 2011)\, Jane is a sought-after commentator in the media on topics such as UK accents\, pronunciation and English as a global language. Her research interests are in speech prosody (rhythm\, intonation)\, mainly looking at children with speech and language deficits and features of South East Asian Englishes. \nTo register for this free event\, please click here \n

SUMMARY:Being Human Festival: Making a Home Away from Home
DESCRIPTION:Last year\, the UN Refugee Agency revealed that the number of people fleeing violence was the highest recorded since World War II. While the need for temporary shelter has never been greater\, many refugees find that these settlements are more permanent than originally intended. Ongoing conflicts prevent their return home and the lack of infrastructure and support leaves them unable to move forward. In this exhibition\, explore a replicated UNHCR tent decorated by a Syrian refugee and discover more about the interior and exterior space. Learn how to make Arabic coffee as you chat with the researchers and reflect on what ‘home’ looks like for the people who have been forcibly displaced for years. \n \nPart of Being Human Festival\, 12-22 November \n#BeingHuman2020 \nSpeaker: Yasmine Shamma\, Lecturer in English Literature\, University of Reading \nFree drop-in\, booking required. Bookings for this event will open shortly. \nThis event will take place at the The Museum of English Rural Life. In light of the rule of 6\, this will be a walk through event\, with no more than 4 admitted at a time (to allow for co-organisers to be present). If you have any questions about this event please refer to our Public Events FAQs. If your question is not answered\, please email events@thebritishacademy.ac.uk. \nImage: A makeshift kitchen in a refugee caravan in the Zaatari refugee camp\, 2019.

SUMMARY:New Food Solutions for Cancer Patients - study participants needed
DESCRIPTION:Help researchers at the University of Reading evaluate food products specially designed for cancer patients who are experiencing taste and smell alterations and/or require\, or have required\, texture-modified foods as a result of their treatment. Your input will directly influence the design and development of new innovative food solutions for cancer patients. \nClose to 70% of cancer patients undergoing treatments experience side-effects (taste loss\, bad taste in mouth\, metallic taste\, saliva absence\, sores in mouth\, vomiting\, loss of appetite) that may have a large impact on their daily food intake. \nThe main aim of this study is to design and develop new innovative food solutions for cancer patients\, taking into account not only their nutritional requirements but also their sensory changes thereby promoting eating pleasure. \nWe are looking for: \n\nCancer patients who require/have required texture-modified foods to attend an online focus group session\nHealthcare workers of adult cancer patients who require texture-modified foods to attend an online focus group session\nCancer patients experiencing taste & smell alterations to evaluate some food products at home over 2 weeks\,\nAll participants must be aged 18+ (patients 18-70)\n\n  \nYou will be remunerated for your time. \nThe study runs until 7 December 2020 \nFor more information or if you would like to sign up\, contact us at SensoryScienceCentre@reading.ac.uk \n
