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\,
