SUMMARY:Inequalities: Interdisciplinary Symposium
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nThis interdisciplinary symposium aims to explore the relationship between migration\, care and intersecting inequalities within the post-pandemic geopolitical landscape of immobility regimes\, crisis-driven displacement\, care deficits and ageing populations. The symposium will reflect on how paid and unpaid caring arrangements are shaped by intersecting inequalities in diverse migration and transnational contexts. We are interested in papers that address caring practices across the lifecourse\, intersectionality and inequalities in access to formal care and social protection globally. \nWe invite papers (to be presented in person) that address the following themes (but are also open to other related topics): \n\n‘Proximate’ and ‘distant’ intergenerational care in transnational families\nPaid and unpaid care and intersecting social differences and inequalities (gender\, race\, ethnicity\, disability/ chronic illness\, ageing\, socio-economic status\, legal status\, multilingualism\, education and so on)\nChildren’s and young people’s caring responsibilities in diverse migration contexts\n(Im-)mobility and care regimes and differential welfare entitlements and rights\nForced transnationality\, agency and social protection among refugees and asylum seekers\nLanguage brokering\, literacy mediation and access to support\nCare ethics and cross-cultural understandings of care\, wellbeing\, health and illness\nMethodological and ethical approaches to researching caring relations\, migrant/transnational family lives and inequalities\n\nThese highly politicised and emotive issues pose key challenges and dilemmas for policymakers\, practitioners and family members\, as well as researchers and academics interested in transnational migration\, care and social protection. \nIn addition to in person paper presentations\, the Symposium will include: \n\nTransnational ageing: theorising digital kinning and the multi-directionality of care: Keynote lecture by Professor Loretta Baldassar\, Edith Cowan University\, Western Australia (hybrid – online access available)\nIntergenerational Care\, Inequalities and Wellbeing among Transnational Families in Europe: Plenary presenting key findings of the ‘Transnational Families in Europe research project\, led by Professor Ruth Evans\, University of Reading and Dr. Rosa Mas Giralt\, University of Leeds. The presentation will be followed by a panel discussion with leading academics\, practitioners and policymakers (hybrid – online access available).\n\nA selection of papers presented at the Symposium will be included in an Edited Collection (open access) on Care\, Inequalities and Wellbeing across Generations in Transnational Families. \nRegistration \nRegistration fee (includes lunch and refreshments): £30 \nA small number of bursaries are available for postgraduates and practitioners (please provide details of expected travel costs when enquiring about this). Contact: r.evans@reading.ac.uk. \nAbstract submission \nPlease send your paper title and abstract (maximum of 250 words)\, with author(s)\, email address and affiliations\, by 8 April 2024 to Jodie Ellis (j.ellis2@reading.ac.uk). \nPlease also indicate if you wish your paper to be considered for the Edited Collection on Care\, Inequalities and Wellbeing across Generations in Transnational Families. \nFurther information \nContact: Ruth Evans: r.evans@reading.ac.uk \nWeb: Transnational Families in Europe: Care\, Inequalities and Wellbeing\, https:/research.reading.ac.uk/transnational-families/ \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:The Future of National Poetry Archives | 2-day workshop
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \n\nThe University of Reading will be hosting a two-day workshop on the theme of “The Future of National Poetry Archives” from 27th-28th June 2024. The workshop will be held at the Museum of English Rural Life\, Redlands Road\, Reading RG1 5EX. It is free to attend. \n\n\nView the programme for the event. It seeks to cover the various ‘constituencies’ involved with our poetry archives: the archivists themselves; academic researchers; those involved in creative responses to archives; those charged with raising public awareness and creating public events with the archives. The ambition is to begin a conversation which will evolve through future events and links that will foreground the archival presence within our understanding of recent poetries across the UK. \n\n\nIf you would like to register for the event\, please email Prof Steven Matthews (s.matthews@reading.ac.uk). \n\n\nPlease note that there will be no parking spaces available at the venue during the event. \n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
