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:Participatory Research Using Creative Methods
DESCRIPTION:Diaspora Woman\, Community Centre Pueblito Paisa\, the UK and Ireland Hub in support of the Colombian Truth Commission\, the University of Reading. \nParticipatory Research Using Creative Methods \nHistorically an invisible migrant community\, in recent years growing scholarly and public-policy attention has been paid to Latin American migration to the UK. This research has been paralleled by the increased visibility of community campaigns advocating for the rights of Latin American migrants\, alongside the emergence of a rich creative and artistic field of diasporic cultural practices. \nThis one-day workshop will explore the use of creative participatory methodologies in conducting research with the Latin American community in the UK. Bringing together academic researchers\, activists and representatives of community groups\, the workshop will highlight examples of innovative research practices led by Latin American migrants\, as well as explore how creative and collaborative methodologies can enable more ethical research engagements between academics and migrant groups. \nThe workshop will provide space for learning and experience-sharing about creative participatory methodologies between participants\, as well as include an immersive memory-making activity. Funded by a grant from Research England\, the workshop will also showcase the initial findings from a pilot participatory project\, ‘Caminando hacia la paz: ciclo de talleres participativos’\, led by Diaspora Woman\, Community Centre Pueblito Paisa\, the UK and Ireland Hub in support of the Colombian Truth Commission and the University of Reading\, which brought together Colombian migrants and refugees to co-produce a series of creative outputs around the themes of conflict resolution\, community and social transformation. \nSpeakers: \n\nMarina Echeverría\, Diaspora Woman\, Martha Elsesser\, Diaspora Woman\nJael de la Luz García\, Community Organiser and Grassroots Educator\nMarta Hinestroza\, Director of Community Centre Pueblito Paisa; Interviewer for the Colombian Truth Commission in the UK\nProfessor Cathy McIlwaine\, Professor of Geography\, King’s College Lond\nWork\nWoron\nDr María Soledad Montañez\, Lecturer in Spanish\, University of Glasgow\nVerónica Posada Álvarez\, PhD Candidate\, University of Westminster\nLuis Fernando Sepúlveda López\, UK and Ireland Hub in support of the Colombian Truth Commission\n\nThis event will take place in-person at the University of Reading and will be held in both English and Spanish.

SUMMARY:Summer Workshop in Videographic Research Methods
DESCRIPTION:As part of our commitment to interdisciplinary research at the University of Reading\, the Heritage & Creativity Research Theme and the Centre for Film Aesthetics and Cultures (CFAC) are pleased to announce a Summer Workshop in Videographic Research Methods. \nContext \nThe digital reworking of sound and image is a key academic approach in film and television studies. This workshop is designed to make these methods available to researchers at Reading\, including those working in other disciplines. While we imagine some participants in the workshop will be conducting research in film or television\, a major ambition of the workshop is to develop the skills of researchers in other discipline areas. We believe there are significant and underexplored opportunities in applying videographic approaches to other arts and humanities subjects. \nThe workshop \nThe workshop will take place in Minghella Studios\, June 20th – 24th. It will involve: \n\ntechnical training in non-linear editing and related technologies\nproducing and sharing feedback on a series of exercises in response to briefs designed to engage with different and videographic approaches\ndiscussion of existing video essays and debates in the wider field of videographic scholarship\nreflection on videographic analysis and archival material\nplanning a longer audiovisual essay\, with opportunities for feedback later in the vacation\nlunch and refreshments.\n\nParticipants will nominate and work with an item of audiovisual material or material object relevant to their research\, as a means of ‘testing out’ how to develop critical ideas through editing. No prior experience or equipment is required (computers with appropriate software will be available at the workshop). \nThe workshop will be led by CFAC Co-Director Adam O’Brien and John Gibbs\, an audiovisual essayist with several years’ experience of teaching videographic criticism. It will also draw on expertise from colleagues in Special Collections and the wider videographic field. \nApplications \nIf you are interested in taking part\, please complete the expression of interest. The form invites you to confirm your availability for the dates and duration of the workshop\, to provide information about your research context\, and to identify an object of study\, indicating what potential there might be for working with it through audiovisual means. Please RSVP by March 25th. \nQuestions \nPlease contact CFAC Co-Director Adam O’Brien with any questions (adam.obrien@reading.ac.uk). \n  \nExplore videographic methods… \nIf you are not yet familiar with videographic work\, these examples may help to illustrate the exciting potential and variety of the approach: \nPasta as prologue: the Spaghetti House siege on film (Charlie Shackleton): Two different dramatisations of the 1975 siege of a Knightsbridge restaurant by Black British radicals remind us that history also needs its agitators. \nThe Elephant Man’s Sound\, Tracked (Liz Greene):A deep archival dive into sound design\, David Lynch and creative-labour politics. \nThe Mighty Maestro on Screen (Evelyn Kreutzer): A study of gesture\, movement and music\, through the figure of the on-screen orchestral conductor. \n‘Say\, have you seen the Carioca?’ (John Gibbs): Moving between film\, popular music\, histories of dance and cinema exhibition practice; looking afresh at relationships between different historical periods and national cinemas. \nMediated Auscultation (Emilija Talijan): Stethoscopes\, bodies\, sounds\, modernism\, still and moving images. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Reading Emotions Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the eleventh Reading Emotions meeting. This year\, we focus on the topic of exposure and avoidance: from the brain to the clinic. \nLearning to avoid potential threats is key to survival\, but it can become maladaptive when the perceived danger is objectively low or even absent. Exposure-based therapies aim to counteract flawed associations between intrinsically safe situations and imagined dangerous outcomes by repeatedly exposing an individual to the objects or situations that elicit fear. Exposure therapy can be effective in alleviating symptoms\, including safety and avoidance behaviours. However\, it often does not lead to full remission\, and relapse after treatment is common. This symposium brings together leading neuroscientists and researchers in psychopathology to discuss exposure and threat avoidance\, from the brain to the clinic. \nConfirmed speakers \n\nMichelle Craske (UCLA)\nDrew Fox (California)\nAngela Roberts (Cambridge)\nKarin Roelofs (Radboud)\nBram Vervliet (KU Leuven)\nPolly Waite (Reading and Oxford)\n\nAttendance is free\, but early registration is recommended. \nFor more information please visit: https://sites.google.com/site/readingemotions/ \nTo book your place please visit: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/reading-emotions-2022-tickets-306322949187

This project grew initially out of research on ancient Roman buildings\, and developed as a teaching innovation. Its ongoing uses include a public-facing online course (MOOC) which has now been taken by over 62\,000 people and has generated significant revenue and course applications at Reading; there are also research uses and ‘impactful’ licensing to television documentaries\, software firms\, games studios\, and others. The model itself and a Part 3 module deriving from it won a Guardian/HEA teaching innovation award\, and were the basis of a successful application for a National Teaching Fellowship and two REF impact case studies. It was largely created in free or low-cost consumer software\, without specialist training. \nThis talk will look at the creation of the digital model: the software and processes used to create it\, the challenges and benefits of 3D visualisation of the ancient past\, and some of its uses and applications.
