Hull University Business School and the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales The aim of the RLCW Seminar Series is to select four exceptional people who have the potential to make a real difference through their ideas and suggestions, based on their research or practice. It brings together theory with practice and invites participation not only in the seminar series but by putting learning into practice. This academic year brings four outstanding leaders of theory and practice who dare to tackle complexity and care enough to offer responsible solutions: Dr Laura Spence, Director of the Centre for Research into Sustainability; Professor Stephen Brammer, Associate Dean for Research at Warwick Business School; Mr Rashik Parmar, Chief Technology Officer at IBM; and Ms Gaynor Coley, Managing Director of the Eden Project.

Responsible Leadership for a Complex World Seminar Series
Keeping it simple in a complex world? Responsible leadership and the ethic of care in small firms Thursday 24 November 2011 SR 1/2, Nidd Building, Hull University Business School, Hull Campus, 6.30 pm Dr Laura J Spence, Director of the Centre for Research into Sustainability and a Reader in Business Ethics at Royal Holloway, University of London The everyday life of a small business, while sophisticated in many respects, escapes some of the complexity of large, cumbersome bureaucratic organisations. This seminar explores the nature of responsible leadership in small firms, arguing for the ethics of care as a suitable lens through which to understand the form that responsible leadership takes in this fascinating and important context, which combines the social, the economic and sometimes family relationships as well.

Britain’s Approach to Making Strategy in the 21st Century
Thursday 19 January 2012 SR 1/2, Nidd Building, Hull University Business School, Hull Campus, 6.30 pm
The Centre for Security Studies is pleased to host a number of serving and former officers from Britain’s armed forces. The focus of this year’s series of lectures is on British strategy making in the 21st century. Two speakers are confirmed; others will be added. For more information please see www.hull.ac.uk/pas under ‘News and Events’ or contact Dr Matthew Ford at m.ford@hull.ac.uk or on 01482 466309.
Professor Stephen Brammer, Professor of Strategy and Associate Dean for Research at Warwick Business School The era of globalisation has had profound implications for managing companies at the strategic and operational levels. Numerous recent cases show that firms continue to grapple with the challenges of addressing sustainability in their supply chains. Why is this and what practices and approaches might companies adopt in order to more effectively manage a global supply chain sustainably? In this seminar, alternative approaches to tackling the complexities of sustainability in global supply chains will be discussed and evaluated. Two further events will take place in London at the ICAEW. Further details will be available at www.hull.ac.uk/hubs.
Big Thinking Wednesday 9 November 2011 Allam Lecture Theatre, Esk Building, Hull Campus, 6.30 pm (refreshments from 6.30 pm) Brendan Dineen, IBM’s Director of Demand Programmes for the UK and Ireland As the creator of Deep Blue, a machine that defeated the world’s reigning chess champion back in the 90s, IBM has always been known for its thinking skills. Brendan Dineen will provide an insight into IBM’s appetite for organisational change, its success in transforming its business model to include ROI, and its approach to remaining true to its strategic vision and measuring its success. Add to all this its aim to build a smarter planet, and that really is big thinking. The lecture will be followed by a Q&A session.

Annual English Lecture
Wednesday 5 October 2011 Middleton Hall, Hull Campus, 6.00 to 7.30 pm
Thursday 6 October 2011 Middleton Hall, Hull Campus, 6.00 pm
Carol Rumens considers musicality in poetry and specifically in Larkin’s poetry. She goes on to discuss the ways in which melody is still relevant to 21st-century poetry, and attempts to trace those under-noticed writers who continue in what might be broadly called the lyric tradition.
Dr Assem Allam
Professor Rumens is an acclaimed and prolific poet, dramatist, critic, editor and translator, and publishes a weekly on-line poetry feature for the Guardian newspaper. She is a member of the Welsh Academi (now Literature Wales) and the Society of Authors, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, and a board member of the Philip Larkin Society. Further information Martin Arnold, Department of English: m.p.arnold@hull.ac.uk, 07917 876150
Assem Allam graduated from Ain Shams University in Cairo in 1960 with a BSc in Accountancy and went on to complete a Postgraduate Diploma in Business Administration in 1968. However, as an outspoken critic of Gamal Abdel Nasser (the then President of Egypt) while working as a senior auditor for the Ministry of Finance, Assem was imprisoned and tortured. He subsequently fled, initially arriving in Germany before moving on to the UK. Assem studied for a Masters degree in the University of Hull’s Department of Economics while working as an accountant for a merchant banking group. In 1977 he joined Lincolnshire-based generator manufacturer Tempest Diesel as Sales and Financial Director and was made Managing Director within a year. Assem bought Tempest in 1981. In 1992 he renamed the company Allam Marine and relocated to Hull. Initially Allam Marine manufactured under its own name but – realising volume was the key to business growth – later began to manufacture for other companies, thus becoming Britain’s largest independent manufacturer and supplier of generating sets.

Philip Larkin and the end of the line
This innovative strategy has led to both Assem himself and Allam Marine Ltd winning a host of awards, including the Queen’s Award for Enterprise (2006 and 2010), Ernst & Young UK Entrepreneur of the Year (2006) and Yorkshire Exporter of the Year (2007). Mr Allam was last year placed at number 45 in Management Today’s list of Britain’s leading 100 entrepreneurs. Allam Marine has three times been ranked among the top 100 UK private companies for profit growth by the Sunday Times. Assem is a generous philanthropist. In 2009 he donated £1.5 million to the University for a new biosciences research centre, while he is a trustee of the Daisy Appeal at Castle Hill Hospital, Hull and East Yorkshire Medical Research Centre and the British Egyptian Society and a director of the Aswan Heart Centre in Egypt. In 2010 Assem bought Hull City (saving the club from entering administration) and is presently the Tigers’ Chairman. He was awarded an honorary degree from the University of Hull in July 2011.

His research focuses on modelling fluvial processes in river environments ranging from Alpine glacial contexts to large-scale Asian river systems. He also investigates how hydrological, fluvial and ecological processes shape floodplains and their ecosystems. In addition, Keith embeds these concerns within wider social and economic contexts – exploring how institutional structures for water management develop, and how science and technologies inflect environmental policies. Keith is also pivotal within British geography. He was VicePresident (Research) of the Royal Geographical Society – Institute of British Geographers (2004–2007) and Chair of the Geography Section, British Association for the Advancement of Science (2006). He chaired the Geography sub-panel for the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise and repeats this role for the 2014 Research Excellence Framework. Keith is also a former editor of Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, and a past chair of the Geomorphological Research Group. Given this experience, he has also written on the prospects for geography and environmental sciences in our 21st-century world.

Art and Belief Devoting time to design: the recent exhibition of Italian Altarpieces at the National Gallery
Art and belief in the Renaissance: madonnas, miracles and museums Thursday 17 November 2011 Middleton Hall, Hull Campus, 6.00 pm
Thursday 27 October 2011 Middleton Hall, Hull Campus, 6.00 pm
John G Bernasconi, University of Hull
Scott Nethersole, Lecturer in Italian Renaissance Art, Courtauld Institute, London
Art and belief in Romanesque Yorkshire
Dr Nethersole curated the highly successful National Gallery exhibition Devotion by Design: Italian Altarpieces before 1500 (July – October 2011) and wrote the accompanying book. In his lecture he will discuss his general aims in curating the exhibition, what he thought were its successes and failings and talk through the decisions made in selecting themes for the rooms and the works to fill them. He will then focus on a few case studies, particularly relating to construction, ‘as this aspect of the show seems to have been very well received’, introducing some material that did not make the catalogue and would not have been evident from the exhibition itself.

The King James Bible: myth and monument
The spirituality of Stanley Spencer
Thursday 6 October 2011 Holy Trinity Church, Market Place, Hull, 7.30 pm
Wednesday 7 December 2011 Seminar Room, Graduate School, 7.30 pm
A joint meeting of the Hull and District Theological Society and the Hull Branch of the Historical Association
Professor Keith Tester, University of Hull
Dr Peter McCullough, Lincoln College, Oxford The atheist Richard Dawkins recently stated, ‘Not to know the King James Bible is to be in some small way barbarian’, while the former Poet Laureate and Hull University lecturer Andrew Motion has hailed it as ‘the cornerstone of our culture and language’. The King James (or Authorized) Version of the Bible has had an enormous cultural and religious impact on the English-speaking world since its publication in 1611. To mark its fourth centenary, we are delighted to welcome to Hull Dr Peter McCullough. Dr McCullough’s particular expertise is in John Donne and especially Lancelot Andrewes, arguably the most gifted of the AV translators.
Biblical cities: holy and unholy Wednesday 9 November 2011 Seminar Room, Graduate School, 7.30 pm Professor Mary Mills, Liverpool Hope University Although it has been only in this decade that the human race became predominantly urban, cities have been with us for millennia, shaping not only our behaviour but also our understanding of ourselves, of the world and of God. In the first of two lectures on cities and the Bible, Professor Mary Mills will look at how the interface between cultural geography and biblical interpretation can increase our understanding of the Old Testament prophets.
Visitors to the University’s Art Gallery will be familiar with Stanley Spencer’s painting Villagers and Saints (1933), the first part of a never-completed project intended to demonstrate his conviction that the sacred and the secular are not separate but fully integrated. In this lecture, Keith Tester, Professor of Sociology at the University, will draw on insights from contemporary sociological literature to explore Spencer’s sacramentalising of the material world.
Martin Luther – Ghostbuster Wednesday 25 January 2012 Seminar Room, Graduate School, Hull Campus, 7.30 pm Martin Luther, the founder of Protestantism, did not believe in ghosts. And yet his writings are filled with references to ghosts of every conceivable type, from poltergeists to phantoms and from spectres to spooks. In this lecture, David Bagchi will argue that this intriguing paradox opens up new and revealing perspectives on the German reformer’s thought, and on the origins of the new relationship between the living and the dead which the Reformation brought about in much of Europe. Dr Bagchi has written widely on the theology of Luther and the Reformation, including the main early-modern chapter in The Church and the Afterlife (2009).

Blood, fat and gas: the clot thickens Monday 3 October 2011 Middleton Hall, Hull Campus, 6.00 pm Professor Khalid Naseem, Professor of Cardiovascular Biology The formation of a blood clot within an artery is known as arterial thrombosis. This usually affects individuals who already have atherosclerosis or narrowing of the arteries. Together atherosclerosis and arterial thrombosis are responsible for heart attacks, strokes and peripheral vascular disease. These diseases are the leading causes of mortality in the UK and consequently they impose a significant burden on the National Health Service. As these diseases develop there is a progressive dysfunction of blood platelets. In this lecture the role of blood platelets in arterial disease will be examined and particularly how fat in the blood turns these protective cells into propagators of disease.
Inaugural lectures

Professor Naseem gained his PhD and undertook postdoctoral studies in the Department of Biochemistry at the Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine, where his work focused on the role of lipoproteins in cardiovascular disease. In 1999 he joined the University of Bradford as a lecturer in Biomedical Sciences and eventually progressed to become a Professor of Cardiovascular Biology. Professor Naseem joined Hull York Medical School in February 2009. Further information Karen Slater: k.slater@hull.ac.uk, 01482 466326

On the pill: sewage and aquatic organisms Monday 5 December 2011 Middleton Hall, Hull Campus, 6.00 pm Professor Jeanette Rotchell, Professor of Aquatic Toxicology Aquatic organisms are exposed to a wide variety of environmental contaminants. Aquatic toxicologists aim to assess the possible biological impacts as well as using that knowledge to then develop early warning ‘biomarkers’ of damage. Sewage contains many human-derived steroid hormones and the impact of these on the reproductive system of marine organisms, particularly mussels and clams, will be discussed. Jeanette Rotchell is currently a Professor of Aquatic Toxicology at the University of Hull, as well as a Visiting Professor at the Pacific Biosciences Research Center, University of Hawaii, and at East China Normal University, Shanghai. She is also a Private in the British Army (Territorials). Her previous employment was at the University of Sussex, which she joined in 2001 as a Lecturer in Environmental Science (Biochemistry). Here she worked with colleagues from Sussex, Le Havre and Tohoku to move into the research area of endocrine disruption. Her postdoctoral work was conducted in the area of fish cancer, involving both a medical application, at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, and an environmental application, at the University of the West of England, Bristol. Her education was conducted at the then Napier College of Commerce and Technology, Edinburgh, with a general Biological Sciences degree; Heriot-Watt University with a Masters in a marine subject; and Glasgow Caledonian University with Scottish Office Agriculture and Fisheries Department sponsorship with a PhD on cancer in fish.

From Mindbenders to Unknown Pleasures: remembering Strawberry Recording Studios, 1967–1993 Tuesday 4 October 2011 Larkin Building, L201, Hull Campus, 4.15 pm Dr Peter Wadsworth, University of Manchester Founded in 1967, Stockport’s Strawberry Recording Studios was one of the first UK professional recording studios outside London, and by the time it closed in 1993 it had become a major studio within the industry, playing host to a variety of local, national and international artists. As well as challenging some of the more conventional narratives concerning music in Manchester, particularly in the 1970s, the study of Strawberry's history also raises some interesting questions. For example, how does the historian approach the study of an industry so rooted in science and technology? And how did Strawberry evolve from a working studio into a ‘site of memory’, simply represented by a blue heritage plaque, a name on the front of the building, a display in the town’s museum and a website / Facebook page?

Soliloquy Cycle – sweet and/or sour?
Shakespeare and popular music
Tuesday 8 November, 2011 Larkin Building, L201, Hull Campus, 4.15 pm
Tuesday 29 November 2011 Larkin Building, L201, Hull Campus, 4.15 pm
Dr Thomas Simaku, University of York
Dr Adam Hansen, University of Northumbria
In this talk, Thomas Simaku will discuss the genesis and processes involved in his composition Soliloquy Cycle.
This talk explores the relationships between Shakespeare and popular music. It tries to address these questions: how have Shakespearean characters, words, texts and iconography been represented and reworked through popular music; do all types of popular music represent Shakespeare in the same ways; if not, why not; and in what ways do the links between Shakespeare and popular music challenge what we think we know about Shakespeare, and what we think we know about popular music? Exploring this interaction reveals as much about the functions of the diverse genres of popular music as it does about Shakespeare as a global cultural form. In turn, this can tell us much about the politics of appropriation, production and consumption in contemporary cultures.
‘How should we end this?’: creativity, knowledge and conduct at a jazz jam session Tuesday 22 November 2011 Larkin Building, L201, Hull Campus, 4.15 pm Dr Mark Doffman, University of Oxford Musical creativity has been explored largely at the level of the individual and through disparate approaches – usually conceived either as detailed expressive behaviours in performance or as ineffable innovation. With reference to a tranche of interdisciplinary research that moves towards a more collaborative understanding of ‘creativity’, this paper examines the notion of being creative by analysing how musicians end a jazz standard at a jam session. In exploring this moment of collaborative creativity, the study looks to the relationship between the mundane shaping of an ending and its occurrence within a cultural tradition that demands radical inventiveness on the part of performers. Dr Doffman looks to the different sets of knowledge that musicians draw on, analyses the momentary interactive conduct of the performers and thus sees creativity as an emergent amalgam – a blend of knowledge and conduct that brings a song to a close.

St John’s College Lecture
Monday 21 November 2011 Middleton Hall, Hull Campus, 6.00 pm Professor Richard Beadle Richard Beadle is Professor of Medieval English Literature and Palaeography in the Faculty of English, University of Cambridge, where he is a Fellow of St John’s College. The York Mystery Plays were performed annually along the streets of the city by its craft guilds in a theatrical run that stretched over 200 years, from the late 14th to the late 16th century. This lecture looks closely at an episode midway through the cycle's career, in the 1470s, when Richard Duke of Gloucester was consolidating his power base in the north of England. It explores new evidence about how the single surviving manuscript containing the text of the plays came to be written down, and it proposes that the future King Richard III had a hand in promoting the York Corpus Christi Play (to give it its authentic name) as a renewed expression of civic pride during a period of economic depression in the city.
