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/

SUMMARY:Languages in Lockdown
DESCRIPTION:Over the last year\, measures to contain the COVID-19 pandemic have affected our lives in unprecedented ways. One notable change has been the amount of time children have spent at home during repeated lockdowns and school closures. In families where more than one language is spoken\, this new situation had the potential to change patterns of language use. \nIn the spring and summer of 2020\, a team of researchers in the UK and one in Norway came together to get a snapshot of language use in multilingual families during the first lockdown through a survey. In this webinar researchers from the Centre for Literacy and Multilingualism (UK)\, UCL (UK)\, and MultiLing (Norway) will share some of the insights from this work\, and they will be joined on the panel by parents who took part in the research. \nWe welcome audience participation\, and there will be ample opportunity to engage with questions from participants. \nThis event is being held in conjunction with the Center for Multilingualism in Society across the Lifespan (MultiLing)\, Bilingualism Matters @ Reading and UCL BiLingo. For more information please see the event poster. \nThis online event is free and open to all. Please register your interest to receive a personal invitation: http://bit.ly/3sqVZqc

SUMMARY:Folk psychology\, normative cognition\, and the wide distribution of norms (RCCR Summer Seminar Series)
DESCRIPTION:Folk psychology\, normative cognition\, and the wide distribution of norms\, Kristin Andrews\nKristin Andrews is York Research Chair in Animal Minds and Professor of Philosophy at York University (Toronto)\, where she also helps coordinate the Cognitive Science program and the Greater Toronto Area Animal Cognition Discussion Group. Her research explores the evolution of morality\, the pluralistic and normative nature of human folk psychology\, animal cognition\, and normativity in human and nonhuman animals. \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).

SUMMARY:Online Panel: Experimental publishing and alternative networked cultures
DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Book Cultures and Publishing is hosting an online panel on ‘Experimental publishing and alternative networked cultures’. The panel will be convened by Ruth Blacksell and Lozana Rossenova with contributions from Karen Di Franco\, Aymeric Mansoux\, Marcell Mars\, Tomislav Medak. \nThe emergence of experimental post-digital publishing over the past decade has opened up new modes and methods of design practice that have allowed for extended relationships between social and media environments. This panel discussion draws on historical as well as contemporary references to examine such approaches through a range of perspectives\, spanning the fields of art\, graphic design\, digital media and software development. The projects and practices discussed in the presentations and subsequent Q&A will consider the shift away from fixed to more fluid forms of publication and acts of publishing that are contingent upon networked\, interactive and hybrid (digital/analog) contexts. Presentations will examine the links between conceptual and performance art practices from the 1960s\, which fed into critical debates in art and design discourse – vis-a-vis the role of the active audience/reader/user – emerging in the 1980s and ‘90s with the broader availability of desktop computing and networked communications. Alongside these developments\, a thriving landscape of grassroots publishing and alternative networked social relations\, with roots in 1960s counterculture\, continues to disrupt and re-examine conventions of authorship\, copyright\, design\, dissemination and reception. Looking at practices\, processes and projects that embrace and reflect back on a variety of strategies including collaboration\, participation and anonymity\, as well as forms that can be permanent or transient\, provisional and iterative\, in nature\, this event proposes the need for new\, cross-disciplinary vocabularies to enter traditional discourses relating to publishing as practice. \nFor more information on the contributors\, please visit: https://research.reading.ac.uk/centre-for-book-cultures-and-publishing/event/online-panel-discussion-experimental-publishing-and-alternative-networked-cultures/ \nThis online event is free and open to all.

SUMMARY:CFAC presents Shulie (Dir. Elisabeth Subrin\, 1997)
DESCRIPTION:Thursday 29th April 2021\, 7-8:30pm (online) \nThe Centre for Film and Aesthetic Cultures (CFAC) at the University of Reading is delighted to host an online screening of Shulie\, a shot-by-shot remake of an obscure 1967 documentary on Shulamith Firestone\, an American art student who was on the cusp of becoming a major figure within the newly resurgent women’s movement with her 1970 work\, The Dialectic of Sex. Director Elisabeth Subrin will join feminist scholars Natalie Thomlinson and Rachel Garfield in conversation after the screening to discuss the legacy of both the film and of Firestone. Called ‘a thing of wonder’ by the New Yorker\, Shulie raises fascinating questions about the sometimes difficult place of the feminist past in the feminist present that are still central today\, and\, in the director’s own words\, seeks to ‘investigate the mythos and residue of the late 60s’. \nFor more information please visit the CFAC website. \nThis event will take place via Zoom. Please register for a space on the Eventbrite page here for details of how to access the meeting: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/shulie-with-q-and-a-with-director-elisabeth-subrin-tickets-148189810713
