SUMMARY:THE ART OF ORGANISING HOPE: RETHINKING CRITICAL THEORY TODAY
DESCRIPTION:THE BATH-BRISTOL STANDING SEMINAR IN CRITICAL THEORY \nPresents \nA CRITICAL THEORY OF HOPE \nwith \nANA CECILIA DINERSTEIN \nCritical Research in the Global Politics of Hope \nSocial & Policy Sciences\,  University of Bath \non the  12th of February 2019\, 13:15-14:45\,  6E 2.2\, University of Bath \nFollowing the discussion held at the Seminar ‘Critical Theory in Conversation with John Holloway’\, convened by the Bath-Bristol Standing Seminar in Critical Theory last October\, Ana Dinerstein discusses critical theory today. \nAbstract: “In this seminar\, I will first explore the limitations of contemporary neo Adornian critiques of society and challenge the view that there can cannot be a political practice to fought Barbarism (Bonefeld). I suggest that such practice is not only possible but necessary and is being developed at the grassroots around the crisis of the social reproduction of life. Following Zechner and Hansen (2015) this crisis has opened onto a ‘myriad of struggles around social rights\, resources and survival\, all of which put life at their centre’.Second\, I illustrate my argument with examples from The Art of Organising Hope projects in Mexico and Belgium. Third\, I offer some ideas that can contribute to the development of a critical theory of hope based on Bloch’s philosophy. \nMy overall argument is that while neo-Adornian critical theory lacks a ‘front’\, the critical theory of hope that I propose brings a front to the “world without Front”’ (Bloch 1959). This means\, it brings openness to a world where there is no place from where ‘to enunciate or engage in responses to ‘badly existing’ realities to alter them. The critical theory of hope amends Adorno’s over appreciation of theory over practice within social praxis\, and transforms the critique of political economy as a critique of society into a prefigurative critique of political economy as a critique of society\, that engages with the ontology of the not yet reality offers by Bloch. The critical theory of hope brings a front to the struggles for alternative forms of the social reproduction of life in a wrecked world.” \nJoin us for this lunchtime seminar which brings to the fore the struggles for alternative forms of social reproduction of life and the need for a new critical theory\, in a wrecked world \nALL WELCOME! \nTICKETS: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/a-critical-theory-of-hope-tickets-55517861418

SUMMARY:NCRM Training: Understanding small areas: spatial analysis of population and neighbourhood data
DESCRIPTION:As a rule\, our courses cost £30 a day for UK/EU students and £60 a day for UK/EU academics\, researchers or public service staff. Register for the event here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis two day workshop equips participants with conceptual understanding and technical skills to obtain\, analyse and visualise spatial data related to populations and neighbourhoods. Using freely available data related to the UK\, a series of guided workshops enable participants to: \n\nobtain census and survey data related to geographic areas\nvisualise\, map and explore spatial patterns within individual and neighbourhood data\napply a suite of powerful spatial analysis tools and techniques to address real-world policy relevant questions at the small area level\nuncover spatial characteristics and properties of small area data\nunderstand how to convert data between different geographic boundaries used for data dissemination and the limitations of doing so\nclassify small areas and individuals based on their characteristics and understand their widespread application in neighbourhood analysis\nexplore novel near-real time user-generated data from social media\nappreciate the technical\, ethical and legal challenges and opportunities for working with individual level population data.\n\nHands on training introduces participants to powerful spatial analysis software (ArcGIS) as well as the programming language R. Practical sessions are interspersed with lecture and discussions to contextualise and consolidate learning. Examples are drawn from the UK and are applicable in an international context and in a variety of application areas at different spatial scales. \nParticipants also have the chance to discuss their own related research or applications with other participants and the course tutors. \nPopulation and neighbourhood data are widely used by the academic\, policy-making and commercial sectors. \nThey drive resource allocation\, decision making and policy evaluation. On completion of this course participants will be able to: \n\nidentify the population and neighbourhood data required to develop or enhance their application interests.\napply and critique relevant spatial analysis techniques to geolocate\, explore and visualise these data.\ncommunicate insights gained to support policy-evaluation\, commercial decision making or address research questions.\n\n  \nPrerequisites: \n\nNo prior knowledge of statistical or spatial analysis is required. ArcGIS and R will be taught from scratch with a focus on learning the essential skills required to handle\, visualise and analyse data related to populations and small areas. This course is not designed to provide comprehensive training in programming using R. However\, it will equip participants with tools grounded in R to execute advanced analytical tasks relating to the acquisition\, processing and representation of social media data using a live\, real-time data feed from Twitter as an example. Participants will leave with detailed training materials allowing them to confidently apply these tools independently.\nParticipants must be willing to sign up for a Twitter account but are not required to populate it with any personal information. They will need to use their account to pre-register to use the Twitter API. Full instructions are provided during the course.\n\n  \nRecommended Reading: \n\nParticipants may find it helpful to familiarise themselves with the excellent NCRM resources introducing geographical referencing found online at: http://www.restore.ac.uk/geo-refer/resources.php\n\nAdditional reading material and web-based resources will be recommended during the course

SUMMARY:NCRM Training: Introduction to Longitudinal Structural Equation Modelling with R
DESCRIPTION:As a rule\, our courses cost £30 a day for UK/EU students and £60 a day for UK/EU academics\, researchers or public service staff. Register for the event here. \n\n\n\nLongitudinal data (data collected multiple times from the same cases) is becoming increasingly popular due to the important insights it can bring us. For example\, it can be used to track how individuals change in time and what are the causes of change\, it can also be used to understand causal relationships or used as part of impact evaluation. Unfortunately\, traditional models such as OLS regression are not appropriate as multiple individuals are nested in different time points. For this reason specialised statistical models need to be learned. \nStructural Equation Modelling (SEM) offers a flexible framework in which longitudinal data can be analysed. It offers a series of advantages compared to other approaches such as traditional multilevel models: the inclusion of multiple relationships (path analysis\, mediation\, etc.)\, the inclusion of measurement error\, the estimation of change in measurement error\, multi-group analysis\, etc. \nThe course will cover some of the basics and more advanced models used in Longitudinal SEM using the lavaan package in R. In addition to the fact that the package is free and open source they also offer great flexibility\, being able to estimate most of the models typically used in Longitudinal SEM. \nThe course covers: \n\nIntroduction to R and lavaan package;\nShort discussion of the SEM framework;\nRegression and path analysis in SEM;\nCross-lagged models;\nLatent Growth Models;\nFactor models and their identification;\nEquivalence testing;\nSecond order cross-lagged and Latent Growth Models;\n\nBy the end of the course participants will: \n\nKnow what is SEM;\nBe able to estimate and interpret results from a cross-lagged model;\nBe able to estimate and interpret results from a Latent Growth Model;\nBe able to estimate and interpret longitudinal equivalence testing;\nUnderstand second order factors and how they can be used in Longitudinal SEM;\n\nThe course is aimed at people from all disciplines and types of institutions that want to learn about longitudinal data analysis or about latent variable modelling. \nPre-requisites \nKnowledge of regression analysis. Prior knowledge of R or SEM would be an advantage but not essential. \nPreparatory Reading \nFor an introduction to SEM: \nBrown\, T. (2006). Confirmatory Factor Analysis for Applied Research (1st ed.). The Guilford Press.\nFurther reading \nUsing lavaan in R: \nBeaujean\, A. A. (2014). Latent Variable Modeling Using R: A Step-by-Step Guide. New York: Routledge. \nFor Longitudinal SEM: \nLittle\, T. D. (2013). Longitudinal Structural Equation Modeling. New York: Guilford Press.

SUMMARY:Seminar: Is the War on Obesity making us sick? An alternative perspective on fat and health
DESCRIPTION:SWDTP Postdoctoral Fellow Dr Angela Meadows is organising and presenting a public seminar at the University of Exeter. The event is free to attend\, but attendees must register through Eventbrite. Please see information below. \nIs the War on Obesity making us sick? An alternative perspective on fat and health \nWhen: Tuesday\, 4th December\, 2-3.30pm (refreshments from 1.30) \nWhere: Washington Singer Building\, Rm 219. \nDetails: \nCould it be that everything we think we know about fat and health is wrong? Where did these ideas come from? And what does this mean for individuals\, for healthcare professionals\, and for policy makers? \nIn this seminar\, we will look at the evidence-base for the weight-health relationship and consider whether current weight-focussed public health policy may be doing more harm than good. Is feeling bad about our bodies worse for us than actually being fat? Are we helping anybody by demonising fat? And what should we be doing instead? \nWe’ll consider alternative explanations for what we think we know\, and look at what that might mean going forward. There will be plenty of opportunity for discussion and for everyone to bring their own lived experiences\, whether as a patient\, a health professional\, or both. We hope to inspire you to reconsider your own notions of health\, wellbeing\, and human dignity. And who knows\, maybe start a revolution. \nWho is this seminar for? \nPeople with a body (any size or shape); people who know people with a body (any size or shape); members of the public; health practitioners\, therapists\, body workers\, fitness professionals; policy makers; educators; students; parents\, non-parents; anyone who thinks it sounds interesting! \nSpeakers: \nLucy Aphramor has worked as an NHS community dietitian\, a specialist cardiac dietitian\, run a social enterprise\, and a freelance trainer and performance artist\, among other things. She has been involved in creating national and international guidelines and best practice\, is a respected scholar on critical dietetics and issues of ethics in public health\, and an avid social justice advocate. Her journey has taken her from the establishment and into the community\, and she is passionate about engagement and co-creation of knowledge. \nAngela Meadows is an ESRC Postdoctoral Fellow in Psychology at the University of Exeter. Her main focus is on how societal weight stigma influences higher-weight individuals; who\, why\, and when people turn these negative attitudes on themselves\, and how this affects their health and wellbeing. And what happens when we resist being devalued by society. She is also a blogger and a fat acceptance activist and is often invited to speak in the media on the subject of weight\, health\, and stigma. \nTo register: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/wcceh-seminar-weight-stigma-is-the-war-on-obesity-making-us-sick-tickets-50682249974 \nThis event is part of the seminar series run by the University of Exeter Wellcome Centre for Cultures and Environments of Health

SUMMARY:The state of youth: inequality\, insecurity and transitions to adulthood in the UK Conference
DESCRIPTION:The School for Policy Studies at the University of Bristol and the South West Doctoral Training Programme invites PhD students\, and postdoctoral and academic researchers\, to a free\, one-day conference. \nThe state of youth: inequality\, insecurity and transitions to adulthood in the UK \nVerdon-Smith Room\, Institute of Advanced Studies\, University of Bristol \n  \nOverview \nRecent years have witnessed increasing concerns about the situation and prospects of young people in the UK and across Europe in the face of accelerating social\, economic and technological change. In particular\, the Great Recession and subsequent austerity policies have focused attention on the pressing challenges facing young adults in making successful transitions to adult life across Europe.  Nevertheless\, systematic\, interdisciplinary research evidence on these impacts and their implications for policy and practice remains sparse. \nWe intend this to be the first of a series of one-day seminars that aims to bring together well-established scholars with newer researchers working at PhD and postdoctoral levels in the study of youth and adolescence in order to explore critical questions in contemporary youth studies on inequality and insecurity. The series takes a ‘long view’ of youth (defined as age 16 to 30 years) and a broad focus that considers both experiences of disadvantage and marginalisation as well as wider processes of social change and insecurity affecting young people across social divides\, including disadvantaged youth\, the ‘missing middle’\, and more privileged young people and young adults. Key questions include: \n  \n\nYouth and social change. What is the contemporary social situation of youth? How have changed circumstances for youth affected labour market\, domestic and housing transitions? How have the prospects for youth and young adults changed in the UK in recent decades?\nInsecurity and marginalisation. How do experiences of exclusion and marginalisation influence young people’s choices\, prospects and circumstances? How are these shaped by underpinning social inequalities of class\, gender\, ethnicity? What are the wider impacts of societal change for young adults’ experiences of insecurity and risk?\nPolicy and practice responses. What are the implications of these changes for social mobility and intergenerational justice? How should policy makers and practitioners respond to the problem of youth disadvantage? What are the barriers to successful youth transitions in the UK today and what the policies and interventions are needed to address these?\n\nWe welcome interdisciplinary contributions in the above and related areas. Each one-day seminar will promote exchange of ideas and mutual learning and will comprise expert talks\, a (post)doctoral paper session\, and a plenary session by the organisers. \nIf you would like to participate please complete the EventBrite booking form below. Attendance at this workshop is FREE. \nEventbrite: The state of youth \n  \nCall for doctoral papers! \nPresenting is not a pre-requisite for participating in the event. We want to encourage ALL scholars with interests in youth studies to participate. However\, spaces to present are limited and we will prioritise giving these places to research students wishing to present their work. \nDoctoral students are warmly invited to present their work in the (post)doctoral paper session. To do so\, please submit an abstract (of up to 500 words) in MS Word format to the event organiser\, Dr Alba Lanau: alba.lanau@bristol.ac.uk\, by 5pm\, Wednesday 10th October.  In addition to your abstract\, please provide your title\, name\, supervisor’ name(s)\, institution\, and working thesis title. \nLimited funds are available to help with travel costs for SWDTP students and PhD students travelling from outside Bristol who have no other source of financial support (e.g. research council funds etc). If you wish to be considered please indicate this in your email.

SUMMARY:Reasons to be mobile: Understanding your own geography
DESCRIPTION:Part of the ESRC’s Festival of Social Science\, Sam Whewall explores the mobility and geography of everyday life in Bristol. \nHow and why do you move around your city and the world beyond Bristol? Are you a community-spirited or a globally-minded Bristolian? Where have you lived in the past\, and where do you think of as ‘home’? \nThis event explores the past and everyday mobilities of people living in\, working in or visiting Bristol. Drawing on research currently being undertaken at the University of Bath\, the event aims to understand how people use their city and the world beyond\, where they live their life\, and the factors that shape their geography. \nTo do this we want you to get creative! The activity is really simple – we would like you to ‘map’ out the geography of your life on paper. These maps will help us – and you – understand what your geography means to you. The maps will be displayed at an exciting art exhibition in Bristol in April 2019\, which will showcase the range of geographies that exist across this wonderful city of ours. \nThe event will be held at several locations throughout the week: \n\n5 November (10:00-15:00) at Kiln Workshop\, 63 North Road (off Gloucester Road)\, Bristol\, BS6 5AD\n6 November (10:00-15:00) at Kiln Workshop\, 63 North Road (off Gloucester Road)\, Bristol\, BS6 5AD\n7 November (12:30-16:00) at The Old Library\, Muller Road\, Eastville\, Bristol\, BS5 6XP\n8 November (10:00-15:00) at Bristol Central Library\, College Green\, Bristol\, BS1 5TL\n9 November (10:30-16:00) at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery\, Queens Rd\, Bristol BS8 1RL\n9 November (17:00-21:00) at The Greenbank\, 57 Belle Vue Road\, Easton\, Bristol\, BS5 6DP\n10 November (11:00-15:00) at The Greenbank\, 57 Belle Vue Road\, Easton\, Bristol\, BS5 6DP\n\nFor more information\, visit the website!

SUMMARY:Navigating Early Career Research in Critical Defence Studies
DESCRIPTION:This is a joint enterprise by the Defence Research Network and the Partnership for Conflict\, Crime and Security Research. Spaces are limited so register via EventBrite to avoid disappointment! \nJoin us to explore ways of navigating the field of Critical Defence Studies as an early career researcher. This one day opportunity is being put together by early career researchers for their peers on the basis of sharing experiences and the ‘things we wish we’d known’. It is a collaboration between the Defence Research Network (DRN) and the Partnership for Conflict\, Crime and Security (PaCCS) through which participants will be supported in working towards publication through a three-staged process involving two follow on PaCCS events. \nWhat is the Defence Research Network? \nThe Defence Research Network (DRN) is for PhD and early career researchers studying defence\, security or the Armed Forces in relation to policy\, strategy\, culture and society. We provide a platform to which PhD and early-career researchers can come together to share work\, ask for recommendations\, create a rapport with one another and support each other in the research process. To find out more check out defenceresearchnetwork.wordpress.com or follow us @DefenceResNet and to join please email defenceresearchnetwork@gmail.com. \nWhat is the Partnership for Conflict\, Crime and Security? \nThere is a pressing and complex challenge to address threats to security and substantial capacity within the research community to support this. The Partnership for Conflict\, Crime and Security Research (PaCCS) is leading the response to this challenge. It is an initiative of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and was established in 2008 as the Global Uncertainties Programme. It aims to deliver high quality and cutting edge research to help improve our understanding of current and future global security challenges. To find out more check out paccsresearch.org.uk. \nAgenda \n0930 Registration and coffee \n1000 Welcome address (Defence Research Network and Prof David Galbreath\, Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Science\, University of Bath) \n1015 Keynote speaker (Dr Abi Dymond\, Lecturer in Sociology and Criminology\, University of Exeter) \n1100 Coffee break \n1130 Session 1: Research introductions \n\nPostcard or 3 minute overview or speed networking\nGrouped by research interests or methodologies subject to participant feeback e.g. security; warfare; veterans and families; policy and strategy\n\n1230 Session 2: Things we wish we’d known \n6 interactive breakout groups offering repeated 15 minute sessions for participants to move around\, led by DRN members.
