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.

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

SUMMARY:Methods for Participatory Development and Communications
DESCRIPTION:Global Research Division workshop \nUsing visual methods to enable participatory action-research: women and Zero-Budget Natural Farming in Andhra Pradesh\, India – Henny Osbahr and Grady Walker  \nWe use participatory photography when reporting on Zero-Budget Natural Farming approaches in Andhra Pradesh\, India. Reporting of sustainable agricultural innovation practice has not always created space for marginalised voices. Participatory action-research merges theory with action and participation\, while challenging institutionalised academic methods of collecting and curating knowledge. It relies on the accumulation of knowledge through participant action and seeks to advance the interests of underrepresented groups and classes\, including in policy debate. In this short presentation\, we will highlight how the approach was used to facilitate a channel for self-help groups of women to explain their often subjective reasons for adopting innovative rural practice. \nUnderstanding how participatory scenario planning can support learning for social-ecological resilience  – Sam Poskitt  \nParticipatory scenario planning (PSP) is widely used for public engagement and co-production by researchers and practitioners with the expectation that this can encourage learning that supports progress towards social-ecological resilience. However\, thus far there is limited theoretically informed analysis regarding how PSP may support learning in this context. In this presentation\, I will explain how I developed a conceptual framework to help understand how PSP can support learning and then applied this framework to an empirical study of learning in PSP processes that focuses on social-ecological resilience. \nOne step backwards\, one step sideways: notes at the margins of a participatory ethno-fiction – Lorenzo D’Angelo \nThis presentation aims to discuss the choices behind the making of a film shot in collaboration with people living in a gold-mining area in South-Western Uganda. Among other features\, this is a locality in which Ugandan security services keep an active eye on gold mining sites and on a researcher eager to film. Hence\, the presentation will reflect on issues such as: What is the relationship between reality\, fiction\, and storytelling? To what extent can collaborative ethnography be participatory? \n\,

SUMMARY:Exploring Collections\, Archaeology\, and Empire: Creating narratives for younger audiences\, past present\, future
DESCRIPTION:Histories of collections present an opportunity to present inclusive narratives that are not usually part of museum interpretation. This is particularly true in relation to archaeology collections and histories of imperial collecting.  Recent reports (see Further Reading below) have focused on the lack of diversity across many areas – including publishing\, children’s literature\, and the curriculum. \nThis workshop will examine how collections histories\, histories of archaeology\, and archaeological artefacts and sites have been presented to children in the past\, and explore how new narratives could be presented in museums now and in the future. \nPlease register for a free ticket via Eventbrite at this link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/exploring-collections-archaeology-and-empire-tickets-131586728447 \nExploring Collections\, Archaeology and Empire has been organised as part of a joint University of Reading and British Museum partnership project\, “Narrating the Diverse Past”\, currently being undertaken by Dr Amara Thornton (Research Officer\, University of Reading). \n  \nProgramme \n\n\n\n3.00-3.05\nWelcome (Amara Thornton)\n\n\n3.05-3.20\nSarah Saunders (Head of Learning and National Partnerships\, The British Museum) – Current Activities at the British Museum\n\n\n3.20-3.35\nFiona Melhuish (University of Reading\, Special Collections) – Empire and Archaeology in the Children’s Collection\n\n\n3.35-3.50\nSue Walker (University of Reading\, Typography & Graphic Communication) – ‘They lived like this’ books for children: Marie Neurath’s collaboration with museums\n\n\n3.50-4.00\nQuestions\n\n\n4.00-4.15\nAmara Thornton (University of Reading) – Archaeology Books for Children: A Brief History\n\n\n4.15-4.30\nMichelle Keeley-Adamson (MKA Illustrations) – Illustrating Archaeology\n\n\n4.30-4.40\nQuestions\n\n\n4.40-4.50\nWrap Up\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Addressing food system challenges: Making interdisciplinarity work
DESCRIPTION:The Institute for Food\, Nutrition and Health (IFNH) is holding their 3rd Annual Forum online on Tuesday 15 December at 14.00 – 17.00 (GMT). This year’s theme is the importance of interdisciplinary working to successfully address food system challenges. \nThe importance of sustainable and resilient food supply systems\, capable of responding to shocks and disruptions such as the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic\, is widely acknowledged. However\, food systems are complex with inter-relationships between agriculture\, the environment and consumers\, and require approaches that are holistic and interdisciplinary\, drawing upon natural\, social and physical sciences. The Annual Forum provides an opportunity to learn about the application of such approaches in practice in different parts of the world and draw on the experience of the IFNH in applying interdisciplinary approaches to systems-wide challenges. \nThe event hosts talks from a range of speakers from the University as well as key partners: Joanna Kane-Potaka\, Assistant Director General\, External Relations\, ICRISAT and Executive Director at Smart Food Initiative (ICRISAT) and Dr Adegbola Adesoga\, Professor of Animal Nutrition and Director of the Food Systems Institute at the University of Florida and a leader of USAID’s Feed the Future initiative. \nProfessor Ian Givens\, IFNH Director says: “The Forum highlights research from the University and our partners and how this connects with work done elsewhere. We are very pleased that in addition to University colleagues we will be joined by two external speakers who share a common vision but approach it from very different perspectives: the contrast between an animal-derived foods and a plant-based approach to reducing childhood stunting will prove interesting.” \nThe event is free to attend.
