SUMMARY:Public Lecture: Sooner or Later: Shifting the Timing of Electricity Demand
DESCRIPTION:Jacopo Torriti\, Professor of Energy Economics and Policy\, School of the Built Environment \n\n\nWhen we all consume electricity at the same time\, energy suppliers have to activate dirty old power plants with excessive greenhouse gas emissions and high system costs. Shifting the timing of electricity demand is critical for balancing the grid when consumption is high and when there are drops in supply from renewables. However\, little is known about the extent to which pricing and new technologies will enable a higher level of demand-side flexibility. In this inaugural lecture\, Jacopo Torriti presents research on the timing of electricity demand\, peaks\, people’s activities and demand-side flexibility. \nThe lecture is free to attend and open to all. Registration is required in advance by emailing Sue Flanders (s.m.flanders@reading.ac.uk).

SUMMARY:The Politics of Form: Exploring the role different dramaturgies play in determining the political character of a play (Film Theatre and Television Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Within the context of British theatre\, plays are generally considered political if they address current social and political issues within the content of their narrative. Little attention is paid to the political character of the dramaturgical forms that shape the play’s content. As Rebellato notes\, there is a ‘puritan attitude’ within British theatre that ‘thinks form a distracting nuisance’ and privileges plays that provide audiences with a series of ‘pungently instructional points’ (Contemporary Theatre Review 18:4\, p.530). \nThis seminar will look at the importance of considering a play’s form when determining the political character of a play. It will explore the role that different dramaturgies play in shaping a play’s politics\, arguing that the dramatic structure can act as a prism though which to re-imagine the structures of everyday social reality. \nThese ideas will be explored through an analysis of Charlotte Jones’s Humble Boy (National Theatre\, 2001) and Nick Payne’s Constellations (Royal Court\, 2012); two plays that explore the ways in which advances in contemporary physics are reshaping our understanding of the nature of the universe. While both plays draw on the same source material\, Brian Greene’s The Elegant Universe\, they articulate his ideas through very different dramaturgical forms and\, in doing so\, take on very different political characters. \nBiography\n\nSarah Grochala is Senior Lecturer\, Writing for Theatre at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama\, where she leads the MA/MFA in Writing for Stage and Broadcast Media. Her first monograph\, The Contemporary Political Play (Bloomsbury\, 2017)\, was shortlisted for the 2018 TaPRA Early Career Research Prize. In 2018\, she was awarded a British Academy Rising Star Engagement Award for a project examining the lack of contemporary European drama in translation on British stages in the run up to Brexit. As a playwright\, her plays include S-27 (Finborough Theatre 2009)\, which won the 2007 Amnesty International/iceandfire Protect the Human Playwriting Competition.

SUMMARY:Wolfenden Lecture: Our Trans Lives: Life\, Love and Lorraine
DESCRIPTION:Join Jake & Hannah Graf where they will discuss everything from their transgender lives through to Lorraine Kelly’s sofa! \nIn 2013 Hannah came out as a transgender woman and became the highest ranking transgender soldier within the British Army. \nJake Graf transitioned in 2008\, and after a lifetime of searching for positive representations of trans people onscreen\, Jake wrote\, directed and starred in his first film ‘XWHY’. \nJake and Hannah met in December 2015\, and knew from their first date that they had a future together. Balancing Hannah’s military postings with Jake’s London based film career\, the pair have learnt to deeply value their time together\, their relationship growing stronger as a result. \nThey got engaged in New York in September 2017\, Jake proposing on Central Park Lake. A small\, intimate wedding took place in London in March 2018\, the couple surrounded by family and friends. \nThey are virtually inseparable: both patrons of the Mermaids charity\, Hannah frequently working on Jake’s films and media requests for them as a couple now commonplace. The pair were listed at joint number 10 on this year’s Guardian Pride Power List and have become something of an inspiration to the international transgender community\, seizing every opportunity to increase acceptance and understanding of the transgender experience. \nAdmission free. Booking advisable.

SUMMARY:How Did I Get Here? - Pint of Science
DESCRIPTION:It’s a simple question\, but to answer it properly we need to look back\, way back. Back through the fascinating history of our species\, back through the entire evolutionary history of life on earth\, back to the formation of our planet and the solar system and back still to the dawn of time itself. So join us as we look at the complicated answers to the simple question ‘How did I get here?’ \nPint of Science is a worldwide science festival that takes place 20-22 May and brings researchers to your local pub to present their scientific discoveries.

SUMMARY:Fairbrother Lecture: Women's Voices: From Slavery to the #MeToo Movement
DESCRIPTION:Graduate School Annual Fairbrother Lecture\, presented by Elizabeth Barnes (History) \nIn October 2017 following sexual abuse allegations against the film producer Harvey Weinstein\, the viral spread of the #MeToo hashtag on social media sparked an unprecedented global wave of women disclosing their own experiences of sexual assault and harassment. \nWithin a 24 hour period the #MeToo hashtag was tweeted more than 500\,000 times and featured in 12 million Facebook posts. For many\, this represented a watershed moment of social progress. But what lessons does history hold for the #MeToo movement? \nThe end of the American Civil War offered emancipated African Americans equal protection under the law for the first time – including granting black women the right to bring rape charges against white men. Similarly to #MeToo\, the period saw an escalation of disclosures of sexual violence\, with black women seizing upon the opportunity to redefine their past abusive relationships with white men. \nJoin Elizabeth Barnes as she recounts her research journey through the history of this wave of revelations and explores how the pattern of progress followed by sustained backlash continues to be felt today. \nPlease note\, this event is not suitable for children. Admission is free. Booking is required.

SUMMARY:The Heroes and Villains in our Veins - Pint of Science
DESCRIPTION:Pint of Science is a worldwide science festival that takes place 20-22 May and brings researchers to your local pub to present their scientific discoveries. \nWhat are the components that flow through our vessels? What causes the risk of cardiovascular disease? Why is snake venom so dangerous when it gets into our blood? Our speakers will look at some of these questions\, talking about this complex system and how it comes under attack from ‘villains’. We will see how all the components work together to save the day.
