SUMMARY:Research into action: Learning from REF 2021
DESCRIPTION:Come and join us on Tuesday 6 July from 11.15 to 13.00 for our annual celebration of research engagement and impact across the University. \nOur usual Research Engagement and Impact Awards have been postponed this year because lockdown disrupted so much activity. Instead we are taking the timely opportunity to reflect on our submission to REF2021\, our impact case studies\, and the work of some of our Early Career Researchers. \nThis online celebration will feature an overview of our REF submission and its strengths and highlights from Professor Dominik Zaum\, followed by presentations and discussion of best practice case studies from REF across all our research themes. There will also be a discussion of how we can support engagement and impact in future as part of the new research strategy. We will finish off with the award of the 2021 Early Career Research Output Prizes. \nBook your place now at the Research Engagement and Impact online celebration. A link to log in to the event will be sent nearer the time. \nOutline programme \n\n\n\n1115\nWelcome and Overview of REF Submission \nProfessor Dominik Zaum\, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Research & Innovation)\n\n\n1130\nImpact case studies: Engagement as best practice\n\n\n1210\nPanel discussion: Pathways to impact – learning from REF 2021\n\n\n1240\nEngaged Research and Excellence: Following on from the REF \nProfessor Parveen Yaqoob\, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Research & Innovation) \nECR Output Prize Awards presentation\n\n\n1255\nEnds\n\n\n\n  \nPrizes for Early Career Research Outputs 2021 \n\nAgriculture\, Food & Health: Az Alddien Natfji for his article\, ‘Conjugation of haloperidol to PEG allows peripheral localisation of haloperidol and eliminates CNS extrapyramidal effects’\, (Journal of Controlled Release 322 227-235)\nEnvironment: Gyorgy Geher for his article\, ‘Coexistency on Hilbert Space Effect Algebras and a Characterisation of Its Symmetry Transformations’ in Communications in Maths and Physics 379\, 1077–1112 (2020).\nHeritage & Creativity: Lisa Woynarski for her monograph\, Ecodramaturgies: Theatre\, Performance and Climate Change (Palgrave Macmillan\, 2020).\nProsperity & Resilience: Lisa Schopohl for her article\, ‘Female CFOs\, leverage and the moderating role of board diversity and CEO power’ in the Journal of Corporate Finance 101858 (2020) (with Andrew Urquhart and Hanxiong Zhang).\n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Young Entrepreneurs Scheme (YES 2021)
DESCRIPTION:IFNH (Institute for Food\, Nutrition and Health) are hosting a session with Dr Simon Cutler on Wednesday 14th July 2021 at 12pm who will be talking about the Young Entrepreneurs Scheme (YES 2021) call. \nWe are now looking to recruit postdocs and postgrads for the YES 2021 competition. If you are interested in taking part\, please contact Dr Simon Cutler (s.b.cutler@reading.ac.uk). \nThe YES 2020 competition managed to attract a record-breaking 5 University of Reading teams (comprising 24 ECRs). Some happy memories can be seen in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqN1h7orWa8. \nThe Young Entrepreneurs Scheme (YES)  is a competition which encourages UK postgraduate students and postdoctoral researchers to develop business awareness and an understanding of entrepreneurship. The competition asks those taking part to prepare a business plan for a company. \nTake a look at the website if you’d like to find out more about the scheme.

SUMMARY:Dwoskin\, Disability and… Autobiography: Trying to Kiss the Moon
DESCRIPTION:This is the the third in a series of screening and discussion events exploring the experimental filmmaker Stephen Dwoskin’s complex relationships with disability and creativity\, memory and materiality. This event is co-hosted by the LUX and the Centre for Film Aesthetics and Cultures (CFAC) and supported by the Arts Committee and the Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives Fund of the University of Reading. \nWhile feminist critics often associated Dwoskin’s films with the male gaze\, he was equally prepared to turn the camera on himself. He conceived of TRYING TO KISS THE MOON (1994) as an autobiographical film\, after seeing a cache of his father’s home movies\, shot during his childhood in New York\, many of them showing him before he contracted polio and lost the use of his legs. These inspired reflections on\, among other themes\, disability and diaspora. \nAnd yet the finished film is far from straightforwardly autobiographical. As Laura Mulvey has written\, TRYING TO KISS THE MOON “tells the double story of memory\, bringing together the beauty of its documents and the sadness of its elusiveness”. Seemingly objective documents – both his father’s and his own home movies and still photographs – do not speak for themselves\, even to those who were there at the time. \nInstead\, TRYING TO KISS THE MOON is a kind of bricolage that never smoothly integrates its constitutive parts. The documents are material objects\, imperfect\, incomplete\, and made to seem so through Dwoskin’s painterly technique. Finished on the cusp of the digital era\, it can be seen as a farewell to analogue formats. It won praise from Raymond Bellour\, and Nicole Brenez saw in the home movies “magical moments” presaging the rest of Dwoskin’s career: “everything is already there!” \nThe event will begin with an introduction and communal viewing at 7pm on Thursday 22 July\, followed by a discussion with Jenny Chamarette (author of Phenomenology and the Future of Film)\, Rachel Garfield (author of Experimental Filmmaking and Punk)\, and Henry K. Miller (editor of The Essential Raymond Durgnat) from the AHRC-funded project\, ‘The Legacies of Stephen Dwoskin’s Personal Cinema’\, led by Rachel Garfield. \nTRYING TO KISS THE MOON has closed captions\, and the live discussion will be BSL interpreted and live captioned. The discussion will last no longer than 60 minutes. \nBook online here
