SUMMARY:Echoes of Manguebeat: video essay and seminar by Amanda Mansur Nogueira
DESCRIPTION:Film production in Pernambuco\, in the Northeastern Region of Brazil\, grew out of the effervescent music scene of the 1990s. Pernambucan cinema has appropriated Manguebeat music and film in contemporary Pernambucan cinema as a synesthetic experience and transmedia experience. \nBased on the methodology of intermedia analysis\, the aim of this seminar is to open up the relationship between music What has been the impact of Manguebeat on film production in Pernambuco? How does the music define the choice of camera angles\, performances\, editing? How does the music articulate the films’ narratives? It is with the intention of discussing such issues that we propose this seminar and the presentation of  a video essay. \nAmanda Mansur Nogueira is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Reading\, supervised by Professor Lúcia Nagib. She is an expert in Pernambucan cinema and a Lecturer in Film Production at Federal University of Pernambuco in Brazil. \nPlease contact Amanda for more details: a.mansurcustodionogueira@reading.ac.uk

SUMMARY:Reading 2050: 'The Current and Future Role of Thames Valley Berkshire Local Enterprise Partnership' by Tim Smith MBE
DESCRIPTION:Tim Smith MBE from Thames Valley Berkshire Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP)\, will give a free Reading 2050 lecture: ‘The Current and Future Role of Thames Valley Berkshire LEP’ on 20 June. Ahead of the lecture\, here he gives a taster of what the LEP is\, what it does\, and how you can get involved. \nOver four years into implementing our Strategic Economic Plan we’re now responding to the government’s modern Industrial Strategy by leading on a local Industrial Strategy for Thames Valley Berkshire (BLIS). \nThe aim is that by March 2020 we will have produced a BLIS that recognises the natural capital of Thames Valley Berkshire while improving productivity and taking an inclusive approach to building prosperity. \nThe co-ordination of local industrial strategies\, guided by a national framework\, is a big step forward and one which is welcomed. LEPs are here to sustain economic growth and this is our chance to make a significant difference. Despite being a business-led organisation\, we are a public-private-community sector partnership and already entrusted with £218m public funds to drive economic growth in Thames Valley Berkshire. \n‘Local’ knowledge and understanding are at the core of effective local industrial strategies. We know the importance of our area\, the contribution of – and the challenges to – our economy as well as the need to create spaces for new ideas to develop. We also understand that this is a time of such uncertainty and there is much expectation of economic policy. As the advocate of the area we have a responsibility to respond to this and shape a strategy for the coming decade. \nWe are working to achieve this\, and substantive work has already been done to build a robust evidence base. We have recently published our BLIS Framework Document and this lecture comes just as we’re asking for the support of the business\, local authority\, community and education sectors in supporting the document. \nThe essence of being a successful partnership is to be found in the way the LEP develops and fosters relationships and understanding between the many stakeholder organisations. My lecture will set out who we are\, what we’re doing\, how we’re approaching this challenge and how you can get involved. \nYou can download the BLIS Framework Document at http://bit.ly/TVBIndustrialStrategy \n \n  \nTim’s lecture is part of the ‘Economy and Employment’ theme of the Reading 2050 lecture series\, which provide a platform to discuss how Reading should evolve into a smarter and more sustainable city by 2050 (www.reading2050.co.uk ) \nThe SBE\, Barton Wilmore and Reading UK\, established the Reading 2050 group in 2013. The Reading 2050 lecture series is structured around three themes\, which underpin the Reading 2050 vision: \n*Place and Environment\n*People and Lifestyle\n*Economy and Employment \nIn 2017\, the School brought together expert speakers to discuss Reading’s heritage and history\, the future of its transport and energy and the impact of climate change and floods. A discussion on Reading’s Art and Culture was facilitated in 2018\, and there are other Reading 2050 events planned for 2019. \nhttps://livingreading.co.uk/publications-events

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.
