SUMMARY:Children's Literature in Translation: A window into the cultural changes of '68
DESCRIPTION:Children’s literature in translation: a window into the cultural changes of ’68\nDr Sophie Heywood \nInternational Mother Language Day Annual Public Lecture \nThe Centre for Literacy and Multilingualism (CeLM) and the Centre for Book Cultures and Publishing (CBCP) are delighted to invite you to our annual public lecture celebrating International Mother Language Day at the University of Reading. \nBooks play an important role in our understanding of how society changes\, both at the time of the change and in the long view of historical events. In this public lecture Dr Sophie Heywood will illustrate how the global upheaval caused by the protest movements of 1968 fuelled an explosion of radical creativity in children’s literature. By tracing the journeys of key books such as Where the Wild Things Are and The Little Red Schoolbook as they travelled across different countries\, Dr Heywood will explore the crucial role that translations and cultural exchange played in the ‘children’s ’68’. How did concepts of what was ‘radical’ in children’s books change across time\, place and context? And what were the long-term legacies of this watershed moment on children’s culture in Europe? \nThis online event is free and open to all. Please register your interest to receive a personal invitation: http://bit.ly/2KYp9N6 \nFor further information please see the event information

SUMMARY:Meteorological Masterclass: Flood Forecasting Hours to Months Ahead
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday 24 February 2021: Flood forecasting hours to months ahead\nDr Linda Speight: University of Reading \nThis Masterclass will discuss the very latest work in probabilistic hydrometeorological forecasting – hours to months ahead – and the use and communication of flood forecasts to support decision-making. It will look at how well we can forecast floods at a range of scales and how we can balance lead time and uncertainty to answer the important operational question “when and where will impact occur?”. It will also cover how flood forecasting can be used in locations with limited data to support early action and will close with a discussion on what the future research directions are for flood forecasting. \nPart of the University of Reading /Royal Meteorological Society Masterclass Series: Anticipating floods\, droughts and heatwaves. Forthcoming dates include: \nWednesday 10 March 2021: Representing convection in Numerical Weather Prediction models and its implications\nProfessor Bob Plant\, University of Reading \nThe forecasting of convective precipitation remains among the most challenging and most stubborn problems in meteorology. In this talk\, Bob will review the fundamental scientific challenges\, discuss recent progress and advances being made in this field\, and highlight some of the implications for operational forecasting. \nWednesday 24 March 2021: Heatwaves and climate change in urban microclimates\nProfessor Sue Grimmond\, University of Reading \nThe focus of this talk is on heatwaves and how urban areas can exacerbate their impact because of the well-known canopy layer urban heat island effects\, and why cities and their residents are particularly vulnerable. Impacts of heatwaves have been very significant if people are not appropriately prepared (as witnessed during the 2003 heatwave across Europe). Attention will be directed to the important impact of scale and an understanding of the dynamics of urban climate\, challenges in predictions and advance warning\, and strategies and interventions for heat stress mitigation. \nAbout the series\nThese masterclasses are intended to provide additional training for professionals working in Meteorology and Climate Science\, and its operational application. \nEach masterclass webinar will run from 3pm to 4.30pm\, starting with a presentation followed by the opportunity for questions and discussion with the speaker. While the webinars are part of a series\, delegates can choose which seminars they attend (attendance at all three is not compulsory). \nRegistration:  Member: £20.00 | Non-member: £25.00 \nLast year we welcomed 542 delegates throughout the series – view all three seminars on the RMetSoc YouTube channel here. \n

SUMMARY:School of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences - Spring Term Seminars
DESCRIPTION:Please find below a list of events arranged by the School of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences in the Spring Term. All sessions will be hosted on Microsoft Teams. \nSessions: \nThursday 25 February at 1pm-2pm – ‘Effects of Age and Education on Language and Cognition’\, Alexandre Nikolaev and Christos Pliatsikas. Link to join \n\nIn my presentation I will discuss effects that older age and education demonstrate across domains of language and cognition: whether these domains show a) different effects of age and education\, b) similar patterns of age-related change over time\, and c) whether education moderates the rate of decline in these domains. I will also discuss language decline related to abnormal ageing in people with Alzheimer’s disease or mild cognitive impairment.\n\nThursday 4th March at 1pm-2pm – ‘Synthetic Datasets’\, Dan Quintana and Lily Fitzgibbon. Link to join \n\nDan Quintana from the University of Oslo will deliver his workshop on the creation of synthetic datasets for sharing the properties of a dataset while eliminating disclosure risk.\n\nThursday 11th March at 12pm-1pm – ‘Enhancing Diversity Training in Policing’\, Netta Weinstein\, Carien van Reekum. Link to join \n\nPrejudice continues to be a widespread problem in policing and other workplaces. In responding to this problem\, billions are spent to develop and deliver diversity training meant to reduce employees’ prejudice. However\, research findings\, including in policing\, show these attempts fail to produce meaningful change in attitudes and behaviour. This talk will describe the problem\, explore solutions based in motivation science\, and share the reasons for\, and challenges of\, testing these questions in real-world settings such as in police forces.\n\nThursday 11th March at 1pm-2pm – ‘Sex Differences in Interoceptive Abilities’\, Jenny Murphy\, Christos Pliatsikas. Link to join \nThursday 18th March at 12pm-1pm\, ‘Developing an Open Research RRDP Course’\, Lily Fitzgibbon. Link to join \n\nIn this special session\, we will spend the hour working in small groups to draft a short course on Open Research to be delivered as an RRDP course for PhD students. Materials will also be available for those wishing to bring Open Research into their undergraduate and postgraduate teaching.\n\nThursday 25th March at 1pm-2pm\, ‘What’s the Point of Qualitative Research’\, Kate Harvey\, Christos Pliatsikas. Link to join \n\nI joined SPCLS nearly twenty years ago from a Health Services Research background\, where qualitative research is widely used and highly valued. I was surprised to be met with considerable scepticism about qualitative approaches\, and debate about whether they could even be considered “psychology”. Fast forward twenty years\, and I’ve collaborated with numerous colleagues who discovered their research question might be best addressed using qualitative methods. Today I’ll be presenting some of that research and illustrating how qualitative approaches can progress our understanding of complex issues from child and adolescent mental health to food poverty\, plus lots in between.

SUMMARY:‘Sniffin’ Glue and Ripped & Torn: Two cases studies as to why fanzines matter
DESCRIPTION:Centre for Book Cultures and Publishing Seminar: ‘Sniffin’ Glue and Ripped & Torn: Two cases studies as to why fanzines matter’\, Professor Matthew Worley (History) \nThis online research seminar will focus on Sniffin’ Glue and Ripped & Torn\, two of the most influential fanzines to emerge through British punk in 1976-77. The objective is to use case studies to demonstrate the possibilities and limitations of fanzines as a cultural form\, exploring the motivation that inspired their creation and their means of production. Attention will be given to the content of the fanzines\, revealing how they provided a space for engagement\, a mechanism for agency\, and a medium to construct cultural meaning. From this\, the benefit to the historian should be clear as semi-private/semi-public ideas in the process of becoming offer us insight into cultural histories formulating ‘from below’. \n\n\nMatthew Worley is Professor of Modern History at the University of Reading.\n\nPlease join the seminar here using Microsoft Teams.\n\nFollow us at @cbcp_UniRdg

SUMMARY:Dwoskin\, disability and... accessibility: Face of Our Fear
DESCRIPTION:Dwoskin\, disability\, and… accessibility: Face of Our Fear is the first in a series of rare screenings and discussion events exploring the experimental filmmaker Stephen Dwoskin’s complex relationships with disability\, accessibility\, care\, illness\, and sexuality. \nFirst shown on the launch night of Channel 4’s ‘Disabling World’ season in 1992\, Face of Our Fear is an essay film about media representations of disability from antiquity to the modern era. Far from being a standard documentary\, it is peppered with personal touches\, surreal scenes\, and echoes of Dwoskin’s underground films. \nThe film probes the social model of disability: the cultural narratives that pinion disabled people as victims\, villains\, freaks\, and monsters\, and the ableist and disabling built and social environments that become sites of daily negotiation. The overall result is incisive and polemical\, accessible and witty. \nThe event will begin with an introduction and communal viewing of Face of Our Fear at 19:00 on Friday 5 March\, followed by a discussion on accessibility\, interdependence and care from 20:00 featuring David Ruebain and Yates Norton and chaired by Jenny Chamarette. Face of Our Fear will also be made available by the LUX for a week subsequent to the live event. \nTo take part\, please use this page to register online. This a free event and open to everyone. The film will include closed captions\, and the live discussion will be BSL interpreted and live captioned. The discussion will last no longer than 60 minutes. \nThis event is co-hosted by the LUX and the Centre for Film Aesthetics and Cultures (CFAC) at the University of Reading\, and supported by CFAC\, the Arts Committee and the Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives Fund of the University of Reading. \nThe Dwoskin Project is a three year AHRC funded project based at the University of Reading. The researchers are: PI is Professor Rachel Garfield and the Co-Is are Alison Butler (UoR)\, Dr Jenny Chamarette (UoR)\, Dr Yunhyong Kim (Glasgow)\, Dr Frank Hopfgartner (Sheffield). PDRAS: Dr Henry K Miller (Uor)\, Zoe Bartliff (Glasgow)\, Dr Maninder Pal (Sheffield). \nJenny Chamarette is a writer\, scholar and curator\, and Senior Research Fellow at Reading School of Art. She is Co-Investigator on the AHRC-funded project\, The Legacies of Stephen Dwoskin. \nDavid Ruebain is Chief Executive of the Conservatoire for Dance and Drama. Prior to that he had been Chief Executive of Equality Challenge Unit\, a policy and research agency funded to advance equality & diversity in the UK further and higher education and research sectors. Before that\, he was a practicing solicitor for 21 years; latterly as Director of Legal Policy at the Equality and Human Rights Commission of Great Britain following a career in private practice. David is also a Visiting Professor of Law at Birkbeck University of London. \nYates Norton is currently a curator at DRAF\, London. Previously\, he was curator at Rupert\, a publicly funded centre for art\, residencies and education\, located in Vilnius\, Lithuania. There he directed Rupert’s 2020 events programme on Interdependence and Care. He studied at the University of Cambridge\, Harvard University and the Courtauld Institute of Art\, and his artistic practice includes collaborations with poets and artists in London\, Cambridge and New York. He has spoken widely on subjects of interdependence and disability at the ICA\, London and other contemporary arts venues.

SUMMARY:Preventing A Clotting Catastrophe: The COVID Connection
DESCRIPTION:Preventing A Clotting Catastrophe: The COVID Connection\nProfessor Jon Gibbins\, Institute for Cardiovascular and Metabolic Research\nUniversity of Reading Public Lecture \nOur blood needs to clot quickly when we injure ourselves to keep us safe but blood clotting sometimes happens where it shouldn’t. If this is inside our veins and arteries\, a process known as thrombosis occurs. While thrombosis is best known as the trigger for heart attacks and strokes\, understanding unwanted clotting has become a major focus in 2020. Severe COVID-19 infection triggers clots to form in the lungs which are responsible for life-threatening impacts on lung function. \nIn this lecture we will explore what we have discovered about how and why clot formation occurs in this context\, and how we are using this knowledge to test the effects of existing medicines that could alleviate the most serious consequences of COVID-19 infection. \n

SUMMARY:The Limited Editions Club oxymoron: the affordable livre d’artiste
DESCRIPTION:Centre for Book Cultures and Publishing Seminar: ‘The Limited Editions Club oxymoron: the affordable livre d’artiste’\, Cătălina Zlotea (Department of Typography and Graphic Communication) \nThis paper will present the idiosyncratic publishing model of the Limited Editions Club of New York and will focus on the four books which were illustrated by the British artist Charles Mozley (1914–1991). Founded by George Macy in the depression year of 1929\, the Limited Editions Club was a subscription based service committed to supply its members one beautiful book each month\, in a limited print run of 1500 copies. The Club has published more than 600 titles over its 80 years of existence and has commissioned a profusion of prominent artists\, illustrators and designers like Matisse\, Picasso\, W. A. Dwiggins\, Giovanni Mardersteig and\, later\, Cartier-Bresson and Mapplethorpe. \nCharles Mozley illustrated four books for the Limited Editions Club: Man and Super­man by G.B. Shaw in 1962\, Galsworthy’s The Man of Property in 1964\, The Invisible Man by H.G Wells in 1967 and The Captain’s Daughter and Other Stories by Pushkin in 1971. \nCătălina Zlotea is a PhD student in the Department of Typography and Graphic Communication at the University of Reading. Her research investigates the life and work of Charles Mozley\, artist\, illus­trator\, printmaker\, and designer. \nPlease join the seminar here using Microsoft Teams.

SUMMARY:Meteorological Masterclass: Heatwaves and Climate Change in Urban Microclimates
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday 24 March 2021: Heatwaves and climate change in urban microclimates\nProfessor Sue Grimmond\, University of Reading \nThe focus of this talk is on heatwaves and how urban areas can exacerbate their impact because of the well-known canopy layer urban heat island effects\, and why cities and their residents are particularly vulnerable. Impacts of heatwaves have been very significant if people are not appropriately prepared (as witnessed during the 2003 heatwave across Europe). Attention will be directed to the important impact of scale and an understanding of the dynamics of urban climate\, challenges in predictions and advance warning\, and strategies and interventions for heat stress mitigation. \nPart of the University of Reading /Royal Meteorological Society Masterclass Series: Anticipating floods\, droughts and heatwaves. Other dates include: \nWednesday 24 February 2021: Flood forecasting hours to months ahead\nDr Linda Speight: University of Reading \nThis Masterclass will discuss the very latest work in probabilistic hydrometeorological forecasting – hours to months ahead – and the use and communication of flood forecasts to support decision-making. It will look at how well we can forecast floods at a range of scales and how we can balance lead time and uncertainty to answer the important operational question “when and where will impact occur?”. It will also cover how flood forecasting can be used in locations with limited data to support early action and will close with a discussion on what the future research directions are for flood forecasting. \n  \nWednesday 10 March 2021: Representing convection in Numerical Weather Prediction models and its implications\nProfessor Bob Plant\, University of Reading \nThe forecasting of convective precipitation remains among the most challenging and mosst stubborn problems in meteorology. In this talk\, Bob will review the fundamental scientific challenges\, discuss recent progress and advances being made in this field\, and highlight some of the implications for operational forecasting. \nAbout the series\nThese masterclasses are intended to provide additional training for professionals working in Meteorology and Climate Science\, and its operational application. \nEach masterclass webinar will run from 3pm to 4.30pm\, starting with a presentation followed by the opportunity for questions and discussion with the speaker. While the webinars are part of a series\, delegates can choose which seminars they attend (attendance at all three is not compulsory). \nRegistration:  Member: £20.00 | Non-member: £25.00 \nLast year we welcomed 542 delegates throughout the series – view all three seminars on the RMetSoc YouTube channel here. \n

SUMMARY:Griselda Pollock: 'Gesture\, Affect and the Post-Traumatic Image\, or Raphael in Art and Art’s Histories after the Holocaust and in Contemporary Art'
DESCRIPTION:Art & History of Art CLUB Talks\nDepartment of Art\, supported by the UoR Arts Committee \nGriselda Pollock discusses her pre-recorded lecture entitled\, Gesture\, Affect and the Post-Traumatic Image\, or Raphael in Art and Art’s Histories after the Holocaust and in Contemporary Art. \nGriselda Pollock is Professor emerita of Social and Critical Histories of Art (1990- 2020) and Director of the Centre for Cultural Analysis\, Theory & History (CentreCATH) (2001-) at the University of Leeds. Griselda Pollock has taught for over 40 years in a School of Fine Art as a feminist\, a social-historical  art historian and a cultural analyst. In this lecture she creates transdisciplinary encounters between art and history\, feminist and trauma theory\, making and thinking\, and the innovative forms through which the aesthetic and ethical challenges of art in a post-traumatic condition can be explored.  Challenging the progressive logic of narrative\, periodised art history\, she presents and elaborates a new installation in her virtual feminist museum with film\, literature and images that relay artists’ engagement with art and history through the relations of time\, space and the archive in contemporary art making. \nGriselda Pollock develops international\, queer\, postcolonial\, feminist analyses of art’s diverse histories by formulating new concepts with which to deliver ‘feminist interventions in art’s histories’: Old Mistresses: Women\, Art & Ideology (1981 New edition Bloomsbury\, 2020)\, Vision and Difference: Feminism\, Femininity & the Histories of Art (1988)\, Avant-Garde Gambits: Gender and the Colour of Art History (1992)\, Generations and Geographies in the Visual Arts (1992/96)\, Differencing the Canon: Feminist Desire and the Writing of Art’s Histories (1999) Encounters in Virtual Feminist Museum: Time\, Space and the Archive (2007 and After-affects/After-images: Trauma and Aesthetic Transformation in the Virtual Feminist Museum (2013). Her most recent publications include the major monograph and first major art historical study of the artist\, Charlotte Salomon and the Theatre of Memory [Leben? oder Theater? 1941-43] (Yale\, 2018) and writings on Yael Bartana\, Laura Mulvey\, Penny Siopis\, Monica Weiss and Christine Taylor-Patten. Crossing art\, museology\, philosophy and film\, she analyses the perennial threat of ‘the concentrationary universe’ created by the totalitarianisms of the twentieth century: Griselda Pollock & Max Silverman (eds)\, the Concentrationary Cinema (2009)\, Concentrationary Memories (2011) and Concentrationary Imaginaries (2015); Concentrationary Art: Jean Cayrol\, the Lazarean and the Everyday in Post-war Film\, Literature\, Music and the Visual Arts (2019). Forthcoming are books on Memory and Place on the work of Van Gogh\, The Agency of Marilyn Monroe and on abstract painting titled Killing Men and Dying Women: Painting and Imag(in)Difference in 1950s New York (Manchester University Press).

SUMMARY:The Transformative Female Publishers of Post-Franco Spain
DESCRIPTION:Democratizing Culture and Building a New Consciousness: The Transformative Female Publishers of Post-Franco Spain\, Dr Marta Simó Comas (Department of Languages and Cultures) \nThis presentation will provide an overview of the role played by women publishers in the post-Franco publishing industry and the way in which they engaged intellectually and politically with the profession. In particular\, we will consider the cultural practices of two emblematic publishing houses founded and run by women (Rosa Regàs’ La Gaya Ciencia and Esther Tusquets’ Editorial Lumen)\, and how these contributed both to the emergence of a new progressive and critical attitude among the public\, and to the genesis of a new cultural and social paradigm. \nDr Marta Simó Comas is lecturer in Spanish Culture in the Department of Languages and Cultures at the University of Reading. \nPlease join the seminar here using Microsoft Teams.

SUMMARY:CINN neuromethods: The role of isothiocyanates in health & food preference
DESCRIPTION:The role of isothiocyanates in health & food preference\, Luke Bell (Lecturer in Temperate Horticulture at the School of Agriculture\, Policy & Development\, University of Reading) \nIsothiocyanates (ITCs) are produced by plants of the Brassicales order and are commonly found in our diets. High concentrations are produced by crops like broccoli\, mustard\, rocket\, and watercress and have been linked with anti-cancer effects. There has also been research conducted to determine their effects on neurological health and prevention of disease\, but only a few compounds have been tested to-date. Some ITCs are also noted for their pungent aromas and flavours and can impact liking and food preferences. They can also induce pain receptors in high concentrations. This has been attributed to taste receptor genotype sensitivity\, but recent evidence suggests exposure to ITCs in the diet over time is a stronger determinant of liking. I will present some of my research and ideas in these areas and see if there is any scope for developing collaborations with CINN. \n\nMicrosoft Teams meeting: CINN neuromethods Thursday 15-Apr-2021 3pm \n\n“neuromethods” is a weekly meeting held at CINN where we discuss published\, ongoing\, or planned research\, ranging from formal presentations to informal problem-solving over coffee. \nIf you would like to discuss your work or a research idea (however unbaked)\, if you would like to join us occasionally\, or would simply like to find out more\, please email cinn@reading.ac.uk. \nneuromethods sessions are listed in the CINN calendar\, which you can open in Outlook by searching for CINN.

SUMMARY:Rationality: reasons and heuristics (RCCR Summer Seminar Series)
DESCRIPTION:Rationality: reasons and heuristics\, Emma Borg\nEmma is Director of the Reading Centre for Cognition Research and Professor of Philosophy at University of Reading. \nThis seminar is part of The Reading Centre for Cognition Research’s 2021 Summer Seminar Series: Understanding ourselves and others: reasoning and rationality \nThe aim of this seminar series is to explore these newer approaches to reasoning and rationality\, looking at cutting edge work in the area and asking what these moves might tell us about how we go about understanding the actions of others and ourselves. \nA standard picture of humans as generally ordered and orderly thinkers has come under significant pressure in recent years\, in particular from the work of Kahneman and others who have stressed our susceptibility to a range of cognitive traps (such as framing or bias). Although the claim commonly associated with this school of thought – that we are ‘predictably irrational’\, in Ariely’s phrase – has been rejected by many\, even those who seek to defend our status as good reasoners often suggest a more complex and potentially messy set of processes\, mechanisms and features than those standardly appealed to in classic folk psychological approaches. \nAll welcome! \nIf you have any questions\, please email Emma Borg e.g.n.borg@reading.ac.uk \nMicrosoft Teams meeting – join here \nresearch.reading.ac.uk/cognition-research/
