SUMMARY:Natural History Museum Research Open Day
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday 2 November\, 10:00-16:00\, Palmer building\, Whiteknights campus \nResearch colleagues are invited to attend an open day to learn how the University and Natural History Museum are aiming to develop research and training together. \nThe University and Natural History Museum will jointly launch the first phase of a long-term research collaboration. They will present initial ideas on how we might develop research and training together\, as well as using the day as a forum for seeking others’ ideas. \nThe collaboration provides significant opportunities for researchers in all disciplines\, whether it be new arts research\, ensuring food security\, tracking genetic responses to climate change or the emergence and spread of infectious diseases. While a link to natural history and/or the NHM collections will be a requirement\, work could involve any discipline. \nAs well as anticipating partnerships across Reading’s scientific research themes\, the Museum’s researchers are enthusiastic about Reading’s expertise in creative approaches to collections and their histories and engagement with intangible cultural heritage. \nSenior figures at the University will be joined at the event by members of the Museum’s senior leadership\, researchers\, laboratory heads and members of their digital\, data and informatics team. \nPlans to move 28 million specimens and research capability to the University’s Thames Valley Science Park were announced in May 2022.

SUMMARY:The Rush of the Orinoco: The English Dream of El Dorado
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday 26th October\, 4-5.30pm\, in-person (Miller G05\, Whiteknights Campus\, University of Reading) and online (please register below for zoom link) \nReading Latin American and Caribbean network (R-LAC) and the Department of Languages and Cultures Research seminar series are pleased to invite you to a seminar with Dr Tomás Straka\, Director of the Research Institute of History\, Universidad Católica Andrés Bello\, Caracas. Venezuela. \nThe current trial in The Hague about Venezuela’s claim of the Essequibo is another inheritance that remains from the old times of the British Empire throughout the world. Whilst Venezuela and Guyana await the verdict of the International Court\, many people have started to think about the historical roots of the problem. A long history of all the imperialisms in the Caribbean – Spanish\, Dutch\, English and American – and slavery is in the background of the Venezuela-Guyana dispute\, as well as the Cold War and the oil economy during the last decades. This talk focuses on the intellectual aspect of this process. \nAlongside the British penetration in the Orinoco area (Orinoquia in Spanish)\, among the British developed a real fascination about this area as a realm of two types of utopias: the endless wealth of El Dorado\, and the place where Noble Savages live without troubles. From the adventures of Walter Raleigh to the fantastic novel of Arthur Conan Doyle\, the British Orinoquia literature was an inspiration to traders\, explorers\, filibusters\, slavers\, and poets. Not for nothing the most world-famous novel of the Orinoco is a classic of the English literature: Robinson Crusoe. \nTo register for zoom link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-rush-of-the-orinoco-the-english-dream-of-el-dorado-tickets-443273913207

SUMMARY:Performing the Digital Humanities in contemporary academia
DESCRIPTION:In this talk I interrogate the position of Digital Humanities in the contemporary university\, particularly (but not exclusively) in British academia. I open up the question of what the role of Digital Humanities might be in this conjuncture\, which sees the arts and humanities often marginalised by academia. At the same time\, though\, the contemporary world presents a number of wider social\, political and technological challenges that the arts and humanities may be well equipped to address. I draw on my recent work on the importance of feminist theories of performativity (particularly Karen Barad’s and Judith Butler’s) to unpack the functioning of Artificial Intelligence\, Machine Learning and data-driven methods and policies\, as well as the injustices and inequalities they generate. I invite the Digital Humanities to enter in a critical dialogue with contemporary technology by taking into account at least two aspects. Firstly\, technology has always been central to the constitution of what we call “the human”. Secondly\, Digital Humanities can itself be a generator of social and political inequalities or\, conversely\, an important tool for redressing such inequalities. I conclude by considering the role of feminist performativity in rethinking what it means to perform Digital Humanities responsibly today. \nFederica Frabetti is Principal Lecturer in Digital Media at the University of Roehampton. She has a diverse professional and academic background in the humanities and ICT and has worked for a decade as a software engineer in telecommunications companies. She is the author of Software Theory (2015). She is also an editor and translator of The Judith Halberstam Reader (Italian). In 2011 she edited the special issue of the academic journal Culture Machine\, “The Digital Humanities Beyond Computing” 12. \n14.50 Break \n15.00 Roundtable: \nDr Eugene McSorley (Associate Professor of Experimental Psychology\nHead of the Active Vision Lab  |  Director of the Behavioural and Experimental Social Sciences Lab) \nDr Dominic Lees (Associate Professor of Filmmaking\, AI research group)  \nDr Mara Oliva (Associate Professor in US History\, DH Champion\, Digital Humanities Quarterly Editor) \n15.30 Q&A \n15.55 What’s next (DH CoP and Hub – future events) & close \nTo book your place (online or in person) please contact the Hub’s DH Champion\, Dr Mara Oliva – m.oliva@reading.ac.uk

SUMMARY:‘Gender and the Archaeology of Medieval Nunneries’
DESCRIPTION:Close to 30 years ago Prof Roberta Gilchrist published ‘Gender and Material Culture: The Archaeology of Religious Women’. This influential book has been a cornerstone of gender and medieval archaeological research and studies of women religious more broadly. Its continued impact is evident in the recent book by Dr Tracy Collins\, ‘Female Monasticism in Medieval Ireland: An Archaeology’\, which is the first gender archaeology of medieval nunneries in Ireland. In this virtual event\, we bring together these two scholars to speak to the context in which their books were created –both times of renewed feminist activism. \nThis talk is the first in a new series of virtual events by the Society for Medieval Archaeology. \nRegister your place for free here.

SUMMARY:A Room of One’s Own on the High Street: Women and Personal Bookshops\, 1916-1939
DESCRIPTION:Dr Matt Chambers\, CBCP Research Fellow\n\nThis research seminar is free and open to all. Join us in person in the Edith Morley Building\, Room G74. To join via Zoom\, register here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/423971097967 \n\n\nFrom 1916 onwards\, a new form of bookselling became progressively more visible. Variously labelled “personal bookshops” or “bookshop salons\,” small bookselling businesses\, opened and operated often by women\, offered a different kind of retail experience. Stock was tailored to fit a certain theme or vision; the shop was imagined as a social space and could hold events; the owners would publish books\, periodicals\, and pamphlets which became synonymous with the shop; and in general\, the bookshop became the centre of a literary or political community. In reviewing The Sunwise Turn and the Harlem People’s Book Shop (New York City)\, as well as Bermondsey Books and Collet’s (London)\, and Shakespeare and Company and Les Maison des Amis des Livres (Paris)\, I will discuss how more than just a notable demographic shift\, these women-led bookshops represented a change in what was possible in book retail\, and permanently altered the bookselling landscape in the early twentieth century.\n\nThis research seminar is free and open to all.

SUMMARY:Seminar: Religious contexts of women’s vulnerability to HIV in Ghana
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The seminar entitled ‘Religious contexts of women’s vulnerability to HIV in Ghana‘ will be delivered by Dr Yaw Adjei-Amoako on Thursday 6 October from 1-2pm. Join us at the Sorby Room in the Wager Building on Whiteknights Campus. This seminar is open to all University staff and students. \nAbstract: \nHIV continues to exact its toll in sub-Saharan African countries\, including Ghana\, distorting their demographics\, and weakening their economies and institutions. Little is known about the role that religious denominations play in the spread or control of HIV in Ghana. Using semi-structured interviews and focus group discussion data collected in various Christian congregations in rural and urban areas in Ghana\, this paper explores how women’s vulnerability to HIV are mediated by type of Christian denomination – ‘mainstream’ churches or ‘healing’ churches. The results point to differences in women’s exposure to HIV-related information\, knowledge\, attitudes and behaviour to the disadvantage of women who attended healing churches\, particularly in the rural area. The study concludes that interventions aimed at initiating behavioural change and reducing women’s vulnerability to HIV must be comprehensive\, broadly oriented in the communities and take into consideration the many complex personal and contextual factors\, including religious affiliation and participation.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:The Past as Nightmare
DESCRIPTION:The Past as Nightmare\nAn interdisciplinary conference from the Centre for Health Humanities\n6-7 September 2022\, University of Reading (UK) \nKeynote speakers: Dr Ailise Bulfin & Professor Laurence Talairach \nThe gothic has a complex relationship with the past\, and with history as a discipline. Much of the early body of gothic fiction is set in the past\, often in the form of ‘found’ historical documents\, whilst the past also functions as an inescapable nemesis\, returning to haunt modernity. How is the past as a concept and as haunting interpreted in gothic horror literature? How is the discipline of history itself\, and the historian or antiquarian as an individual\, portrayed in the gothic mode? \nRegistration is open. \nFor further details on the event\, please contact a.s.mangham@reading.ac.uk

SUMMARY:Sensory Supermarket by Sensory Street
DESCRIPTION:Sensory Street is a research project from the Universities of Oxford and Reading\, funded by the Wellcome Trust. Since 2021\, we have been working with autistic people to learn more about their everyday sensory experiences and what environments they find either disabling or enabling\, and why. \nOn Friday 19 and Saturday 20 August we are holding our Sensory Supermarket event at the PEARL building in Dagenham. This is an opportunity for you to discuss and learn from our research findings which are entirely informed by the autistic people’s sensory experiences and their perspectives. \nAt the Sensory Supermarket you can show your commitment to inclusivity and: \n\nTake part in our immersive supermarket experience (designed in partnership with Sensory Spectacle) to see for yourself how supermarkets can be disabling sensory environments\nDiscover the small adaptations you could make to your business to create a more inclusive\, accessible environment for people with autism and other disabilities\nFind out how you can support people with autism in your business environment\nLearn more about our research with the autistic community through videos\, displays and more.\n\nYou can book free tickets for an allocated 45-minute time slot at sensorysupermarket.eventbrite.com.
