Understanding children's reading at school and at home
2020-02-20 19:00 - 20:30 | L022 G01, L022 G01, London Road Campus, Reading, RG1 5AQ
CELM Public Lecture
We all recognise how crucial reading is for children to do well at school and later on in the workplace.
But what does research tell us about why it’s important, what children and young people should be reading, and what happens if they don’t read?
And what about children and young people who speak a language other than English at home?
Whether you’re a parent, a teacher, bilingual or not, this public lecture from the Centre for Literacy and Multilingualism will have something for you!

The Self Delusion: How we are all connected and why that matters
2020-02-26 19:30 | Palmer Building, G10
University Public Lecture
Professor Tom Oliver (Ecology and Evolutionary Biology): The Self Delusion: How we are all connected and why that matters
We often think of ourselves as individuals, acting alone, with an inner self that stays the same across our lives. But this is an illusion – in fact, we are more connected with others, the planet and the universe than we realise.
In his lecture, ecologist Tom Oliver explains some surprising science that will make you think differently about yourself and your place in the world. While our sense of individual self has helped our species to succeed, he argues that seeing beyond this mindset to understand the complex connections between us may well be the key to a better future.

Tom Oliver is a Professor in Applied Ecology at the University of Reading and author of The Self Delusion, a popular science book about our human interconnectedness. He is a senior academic fellow with the UK government leading the design of their Systems Research Programme to inform environmental policy, and also sits on the European Environment Agency Scientific Committee. Tom is a frequent contributor to broadcast media, a frequent speaker on environmental science and has published more than 65 scientific papers in world-leading journals.

Admission free. Booking advisable.
