SUMMARY:Natural History Museum Research Open Day
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday 2 November\, 10:00-16:00\, Palmer building\, Whiteknights campus \nResearch colleagues are invited to attend an open day to learn how the University and Natural History Museum are aiming to develop research and training together. \nThe University and Natural History Museum will jointly launch the first phase of a long-term research collaboration. They will present initial ideas on how we might develop research and training together\, as well as using the day as a forum for seeking others’ ideas. \nThe collaboration provides significant opportunities for researchers in all disciplines\, whether it be new arts research\, ensuring food security\, tracking genetic responses to climate change or the emergence and spread of infectious diseases. While a link to natural history and/or the NHM collections will be a requirement\, work could involve any discipline. \nAs well as anticipating partnerships across Reading’s scientific research themes\, the Museum’s researchers are enthusiastic about Reading’s expertise in creative approaches to collections and their histories and engagement with intangible cultural heritage. \nSenior figures at the University will be joined at the event by members of the Museum’s senior leadership\, researchers\, laboratory heads and members of their digital\, data and informatics team. \nPlans to move 28 million specimens and research capability to the University’s Thames Valley Science Park were announced in May 2022. Its potential scope is across all NHM collections and research. \nReserve your place \nOpen to University of Reading colleagues only. \nPlease note that spaces are limited so please book your place by 12pm Wednesday 19th October using this online form. Much of the event will be recorded and made available online. Lunch will be provided. \nFor further information\, visit the NHM’s page about their new science and digitisation centre. \nResearch Open Day schedule\n10.00 – 10.30     Refreshments on arrival \n10.30 – 10.45     Welcome and opening remarks (Robert Van de Noort\, Vice-Chancellor) \n10.45 – 11.30     Vision for NHM research and collections\, and the TVSP\, followed by Q&A (Tim Littlewood\, Director of Research\, NHM) \n11.30 – 12.15     Building collaborative research followed by Q&A (Ken Norris\, Deputy Director of Science\, NHM & Phil Newton\, Research Dean) \n12.15 – 12.30     Partnership with University of Reading (Doug Gurr\, Director\, NHM) \n12.30 – 13.30     Networking lunch \n13.30 – 14.30     Parallel Session 1: Science Facilities (NHM Laboratory Heads) \n13.30 – 14.30     Parallel Session 2: Heritage & Creativity: Collections & Culture (John Gibbs / Roberta Gilchrist\, Research Deans & Sandra Knapp\, Collections & Culture Research Lead\, NHM) \n14.30 – 15.15     Opportunities in Digital and Data Science (NHM / University of Reading) \n15.15 – 16.00     Networking opportunity with refreshments \n16.00                  Close

SUMMARY:Book Launch: The Women Who Invented Twentieth-Century Children’s Literature
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a hybrid in-person/online event to mark the publication of The Women Who Invented Twentieth-Century Children’s Literature: Only the Best (Routledge: Children’s Literature and Culture Series)\, by Elizabeth West\, CBCP ECR Fellow. \nThis event is free and open to all. Join us in the Edith Morley Building\, Room G74\, to be followed by drinks at Park House. To register for the Zoom link\, click here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/424176642757  \nPublishing for children between 1930 and 1960 has been denigrated as a relatively fallow period for creativity and quality\, certainly in comparison with the ‘golden ages’ of children’s literature that preceded and succeeded it. This book questions this perception by using archival evidence to argue that the work of what was predominantly a female group of editors\, illustrators\, authors and librarians (collectively referred to as bookwomen) resulted in many titles which are still considered as ‘classics’ today. The bookwomen reframed ideas about how children’s publishing should be approached and valued and\, in doing so\, laid the foundations for a subsequent generation of children’s authors and publishers who were to achieve far greater prominence. The key to the success of the bookwomen was their willingness to experiment\, the strength of their relationships\, and their comprehensive understanding of the book production process. By focusing on a selection of women working across all aspects of the book production process\, this book demonstrates that\, both individually and collectively\, women capitalised on their position as ‘other’ to the existing male institutions. \nThe event will be followed by drinks at Park House.
