SUMMARY:University of Reading Engagement and Impact Awards
DESCRIPTION:From securing African farmers’ futures to building the confidence of Reading mums who’ve been out of the job market for a while\, 12 research projects making a real-world impact have been shortlisted for the University of Reading’s Research Engagement and Impact Awards. The winners will be announced at an Awards ceremony on 25 June\, and University colleagues\, stakeholders and anyone with an interest in our research is warmly invited to attend. \nEntries were whittled down to the top 12 by a panel including Professor Parveen Yaqoob\, Pro Vice Chancellor for Research and Innovation. Judges were impressed by the quality and breadth of the applications. \nSpanning climate science\, education\, law\, design\, global development and computer science\, the shortlist represents a broad cross-section of Reading research benefiting people locally\, nationally and globally. \n \nOne of the selected projects\, ‘Marvellous mums’ supports local\, less socially advantaged women\, many of whom have been out of work for some time. The programme\, led by Professor Carol Fuller\, is boosting women’s confidence and self-esteem and empowering them to make changes that will help them develop more fulfilling lives for themselves and their families. \nAnd on an international scale\, millions of small-holder farmers across Africa can now look forward to a more secure future thanks to satellite-derived estimates of rainfall that are helping insurance companies provide effective cover against drought. That’s thanks to the TAMSAT project\, led by Professor Emily Black\, which allows farmers to get weather-index insurance that pays out if cumulative rainfall drops below a pre-agreed threshold\, even if their farm is a long way from a rain gauge. \nThe full list of shortlisted projects is: \n\nEmily Black – Drought insurance using TAMSAT rainfall estimates\nTony Capstick – Language for resilience in refugee settings\nJoanna Clark – Loddon Catchment Consultancy (GV2LCC)\nRebecca Emerton and Andrea Ficchi – Real-time flood briefings for humanitarian emergency response to cyclones in Mozambique\nFederico Faloppa – Leading Amnesty International’s task force against hate speech in Italy\nJames Ferryman – Biometrics Research Leads to Frictionless and More Secure Border Crossings\nCarol Fuller – Marvellous Mums/Marvellous Me\nRosa Freedman – Safeguarding Children from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse in Conflict and Crisis Zones\nHilary Geoghegan – Opening up science for all (OPENER)\nChristopher Newdick – Priority Setting in the NHS\nNatthapoj VincentTrakulphadetkrai – Maths through stories\nSue Walker – Information design\, architecture\, pharmacy: getting the message across about AMR\n\n  \nAt the Awards ceremony there will be an opportunity to learn more about the shortlisted projects through quickfire 2-minute presentations and posters from the shortlisted researchers and there will be an address from guest speaker Paul Manners\, Director of the National Coordinating Centre for Public Engagement. The event will be hosted by Professor Parveen Yaqoob\, Pro Vice Chancellor for Research and Innovation. \nRegister to attend \nWatch a film of last year’s winners \nFind out more about the Research Impact and Engagement Awards.

SUMMARY:Henley Centre for Leadership Research Visit Series: The Impact of Temporal Schemata: Understanding When Individuals Entrain versus Resist or Create Temporal Structure - Professor Abbie Shipp\, Neeley School of Business
DESCRIPTION:Abbie Shipp\, Professor of Management\, Director of Adaptive Leader Executive Education Program\,  Neeley School of Business\, Texas Christian University \nAs the pace of contemporary work increases\, leaders in organizations seek to coordinate their employees’ efforts\, particularly through the temporal coordination of rhythms. Yet little research has examined individual cognition\, affect\, and behavior in response to the “pull” of entrainment to an organization’s temporal structure. In this paper\, we develop theory highlighting how individuals use temporal schemata—cognitive frameworks about time—to interpret and respond to temporal cues provided by an organization’s temporal structure (i.e.\, “push back”). In contrast to prior research\, we propose that individuals can automatically or deliberately entrain\, actively or passively resist\, or create additional temporal structure. This model emphasizes the underdeveloped individual-level aspects of entrainment\, contributing to future research by demonstrating that: 1) entrainment varies in degree and type\, 2) entrainment (or lack thereof) is both cognitive and affective\, and 3) entrainment may not be sustained. Several paradoxes are identified in how leaders can practically apply the model. \nBiography \nDr. Abbie J. Shipp is a Professor of Management at Texas Christian University. Her research focuses on the psychological experience of time at work including: how individuals think about the past/present/future\, trajectories of work experiences over time\, how individuals react to change\, and how time is spent on work tasks. Her work appears in premier outlets such as Academy of Management Review\, Annual Review of Organizational Psychology and Organizational Behavior\, Journal of Applied Psychology\, Journal of Management\, Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes\, and Personnel Psychology\, and she is the co-editor (with Dr. Yitzhak Fried) of a two-volume book entitled\, Time and Work. She is an editorial board member of Academy of Management Journal\, Academy of Management Review\, and Journal of Management. In addition to prior work at The Boeing Company and TV Guide as well as consulting work with multiple Fortune 500 companies\, she is currently on the board of ZOE\, a global non-profit focused on empowerment efforts for orphans and vulnerable children. \n

SUMMARY:Film: The Two Popes - with introduction and post-screening masterclass by Academy Award nominated director Fernando Meirelles
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to confirm attendance of internationally renowned film director Fernando Meirelles (City of God\, The Constant Gardener\, Blindness) at the University of Reading. \nThe programme includes an exclusive screening of his latest film for Netflix\, The Two Popes\, starring Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce\, with an introduction by the director. The film screening will be followed by a Masterclass with Fernando Meirelles at 6 pm in the Van Emden Theatre\, Edith Morley Building\, where he will talk about the editing and other aspects of the film.  \nThis event is being sponsored by CFAC (Centre for Film Aesthetics and Cultures)\, Department of Film\, Theatre & Television (FTT) and the Reading Film Theatre (RFT)\, at the University of Reading. \nFor enquiries and bookings\, please contact cfac@reading.ac.uk \nThe Two Popes Synopsis: From Fernando Meirelles\, the Academy Award-nominated director of “City of God\,” and three-time Academy Award-nominated screenwriter Anthony McCarten\, comes an intimate story of one of the most dramatic transitions of power in the last 2\,000 years. Frustrated with the direction of the church\, Cardinal Bergoglio (Jonathan Pryce) requests permission to retire in 2012 from Pope Benedict (Anthony Hopkins). Instead\, facing scandal and self-doubt\, the introspective Pope Benedict summons his harshest critic and the future successor to Rome to reveal a secret that would shake the foundations of the Catholic Church. Behind Vatican walls\, a struggle commences between both tradition and progress\, guilt and forgiveness\, as these two very different men confront elements from their pasts in order to find common ground and forge a future for a billion followers around the world. \nFernando Meirelles (Director) Biography: \nFernando Meirelles is a director\, producer\, and screenwriter. In the 1980s\, as an architecture student at the University of São Paulo\, Meirelles started making video art with a group of friends. Eventually\, the group formed Olhar Eletrônico\, an independent production company that produced various programs for Brazilian TV 10 happy years. \nIn the 90s\, Meirelles transitioned to directing commercials. He received several Clio and Lions de Cannes Awards and became one of the top names in the market. During this period\, he also directed 180 episodes of Ra Tim Bum\, a show for young children whose popularity eventually spawned its own channel on TV Cultura\, Ra Tim Bum TV. \nAfter a decade\, Meirelles felt it was time to move on to features\, a long-held passion of his. In 2000\, with Nando Oliva\, Meirelles co-directed the film Maids in preparation for a more ambitious project\, City of God (2002) which went on to receive more than 50 international awards and was nominated for four Academy Awards\, including Best Director. For the last 20 years\, Meirelles has split his time between directing international features and TV series in Brazil. The Constant Gardener (2005)\, Meirelles’ follow-up to City of God\, received four Academy Awards nominations and three Golden Globe nominations. In 2008\, his film Blindness opened the Cannes Film Festival. And\, in 2011\, his film 360 opened the London Film Festival. In the same period\, he directed several series for TV Globo and HBO. \nIn addition to cinema\, Meirelles directed Bizet’s Pearl Fishers and was one of the directors of the opening ceremony for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. \nIn 2019\, Meirelles will release The Two Popes for Netflix and is currently filming a scientific documentary on the soil. He’s also one of the partners of O2 Filmes\, a group of production companies that oversees all facets of production from development to distribution\, including international co-production and post-production facilities. \nMeirelles is also an avid farmer. He plants sugar cane\, coffee\, palm heart\, avocado\, and mahogany. He continually tries to develop ways to produce organically in large scales. Agroforest is his best bet. In the next few years\, Meirelles plans to be involved in projects related to the environmental crisis brought about by climate change. \n Credits: \nDirected by: Fernando Meirelles\nWritten by: Anthony McCarten\nProduced by: Dan Lin\, Jonathan Eirich and Tracey Seaward\nCast: Jonathan Pryce\, Anthony Hopkins and Juan Minujín \nUS/UK/Italy/Argentina 2019 – 125 mins
