SUMMARY:The dark side of prediction: Pervasive false memories for nouns predicted but not seen
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Dr Katja Haeuser from Saarland University is delivering a seminar entitled: ‘The dark side of prediction: Pervasive false memories for nouns predicted but not seen.’ \nAbstract: An accumulating body of research has shown that predictability modulates online language processing\, in that language users anticipate semantic features\, and sometimes word forms\, of upcoming linguistic material. In contrast\, there is a shortage of studies addressing the longer-term memory consequences of having predictions confirmed or disconfirmed. In this talk\, I will show how my work has helped inform research on the conditions that enable word form prediction during reading\, and that promote learning following prediction error. In particular\, I will highlight how psycholinguistic concepts can inform theories on memory consolidation and error-driven language learning. I will conclude with an outlook on my current research agenda that investigates memory illusions rooted in predictive processing from a lifespan perspective. \nJoin the online seminar on Microsoft Teams.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Online social networking platforms and the World Wide Web have changed how society thinks about connectivity. Because of the technological nature of such networks\, their study has predominantly taken place within the domains of computer science and related scientific fields. But arts and humanities scholars are increasingly using the same kinds of visual and quantitative analysis to shed light on aspects of culture and society hitherto concealed. This paper will argue that networks are a category of study that cuts across traditional academic barriers\, uniting diverse disciplines through a shared understanding of complexity in our world. Moreover\, we are at a moment in time when it is crucial that arts and humanities scholars join the critique of how large-scale network data and advanced network analysis are being harnessed for the purposes of power\, surveillance\, and commercial gain. To illustrate the potential of the frameworks and methods of network analysis\, this paper will draw from the findings of two recent projects that I led\, Tudor Networks of Power\, and Networking Archives. \n~~~ \nSpeaker information\nProfessor Ruth Ahnert is Professor of Literary History and Digital Humanities at Queen Mary University of London. Her research background is in early modern history\, with a particular interest in book history and epistolary culture. More recently she has explored the application of quantitative network analysis to the study of early modern letters\, and is currently Principal Investigator on the large interdisciplinary project Living with Machines based at the British Library and Alan Turing Institute. \nDr Amy Richardson is a Senior Research Fellow in Archaeology at the University of Reading. Her research focuses on the analysis of new and archival archaeological datasets to examine networks of people and materials in the Middle East\, applying materials and network analysis to assemblages of clay and stone artefacts. She is also a University of Reading Open Research Champion. \nDr Fiona Coward is Associate Professor in Archaeological Sciences at Bournemouth University. Her work focuses on the evolution of human social life and cognition throughout the Palaeolithic but also throughout the shift from mobile foraging to more settled and agricultural lifeways in the early Holocene. She employs a multidisciplinary approach\, emphasising the interrelations between humanity’s physical and social environments\, as well as a variety of techniques including network analysis\, GIS and agent-based modelling. \nDr Valentina Vavassori is a Digital Scholarship Researcher at the National Archives. She is interested in the development of User Interfaces for Linked Open Data\, ontologies and data modelling. She completed her PhD\, on ‘Digital Narratives in Physical Museums. Narrative Construction with Contextual Technologies’\, at King’s College London\, where she also worked on the project ‘Reframing Art: Opening up Art Dealers’ Archives to Multi-Disciplinary Research’ in collaboration with the National Gallery.

SUMMARY:Revisiting Coercion as an Element of Prohibited Intervention in International Law
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Professor Marko MilanovicInternational Law: Revisiting Coercion as an Element of Prohibited Intervention in International Law. \nWednesday 22 February\, 17:00\, G11\, Henley Business School \nIn his inaugural lecture\, Professor Milanovic will argue that coercion can be understood in two different ways or models. \nFirst\, coercion as extortion\, as a threat to engage or continue engaging in some activity (which itself may be lawful or unlawful) in order to extract some kind of concession from the victim state – in other words\, an act targeting the victim state’s will or decision-making calculus. \nSecond\, coercion can be understood as the actual deprivation of the victim state’s ability to make its sovereign choices\, which may be done even through acts like cyber operations that the victim state may be unaware of. Professor Milanovic will argue that many of the difficulties surrounding the notion of coercion arise as consequence of failing to distinguish between these two different models. \nProfessor Milanovic is Professor of Public International Law at the University of Reading and Director of Global Law at Reading. \nRegister to attend[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Queer Tragic Masks: LGBT History and Ancient Drama
DESCRIPTION:Join Oliver Baldwin\, British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow\, Department of Classics\, for a public lecture on how performances of ancient tragedies have been used to tell LGBT+ stories. \nSince the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York\, queerness has often been embodied\, assessed\, and enacted through performances of ancient tragedy. Tragic plots\, characters and conflicts have been used to work through many key issues in LGBTQI+ history\, from AIDS and same-sex marriage to homophobia and queer liberation. This LGBTQ History Month lecture explores three key stage versions of Greek tragedy: a lesbian version of The Bacchae against Section 28; a gay retelling of Medea exploring same-sex marriage and parenthood; and a re-interpretation of Trojan Women as a queer family of colour led facing AIDS. \nJoin us to experience how a lesbian goddess brought queer divine retribution over Thatcherite homophobia\, how a gay Medea endures the lack of protection of marriage and how a Black trans woman burns down the hospital where AIDS is crippling her family. These examples demonstrate how the tragic masks of ancient drama have been painted over with queer colours to defend\, vindicate and celebrate LGBTQI+ people and their history. \nRegister to attend.
