Tuesday 7 February 2012 The Great Hall, ICAEW, London, EC2R 6EA Rashik Parmar, IBM’s Chief Technology Officer for North East Europe, a Distinguished Engineer and a member of the IBM Academy of Technology This session will explore an approach of combining societal changes led by ‘digital natives’ and the technological advances to inspire the next wave of change programmes. The intersection of these worlds highlights and helps prioritise the issues that should be focused on. It also touches on the complex, interconnected range of stakeholders who need to invest if we are to succeed, concluding with some case-study examples and showing the kinds of inspiring visions that can drive tangible progress towards a sustainable future.

Centre for British Politics Norton Lecture
Rethinking soft OR: models as boundary objects
Friday 10 February 2012 Council Chamber, Venn Building, Hull Campus, 6.00 pm (followed by a wine reception at 7.15 in the Tranby Room, Staff House)
Wednesday 1 February 2012 SR3, Derwent Building, Hull Campus, 1.30 pm
Professor Andrew Gamble, FBA, University of Cambridge A wine reception will follow at 7.15 pm in the Tranby Room, Staff House. Further information Sophie Appleton, Department of Politics and International Studies: s.appleton@hull.ac.uk, 01482 465800
Professor L Alberto Franco, Hull University Business School This presentation pays attention to how groups use models within the context of soft OR interventions. This focus is critical because it can shed light on the mechanisms through which models affect group interaction and, ultimately, the intervention outcomes. To this end Professor Franco draws on the boundary objects literature, and characterises model-supported group problem solving in terms of the relative complexity of the ‘boundaries’ traversed by those involved in tackling the problem of concern. This characterisation enables us to produce a framework that conceptualises models as boundary objects with specific roles, uses and effects according to the boundary faced in group interaction. The framework is then illustrated via a series of case vignettes drawn from an ongoing research programme studying the impact of soft OR interventions in multi-organisational settings. Finally, Professor Franco discusses the conceptual and prescriptive value of the framework, and identifies implications for research into the evaluation of soft OR interventions. Alberto Franco is Professor of Problem Structuring Methods at HUBS. He also holds visiting posts at Radboud University, Nijmegen (Netherlands), IE Business School (Spain) and Universidad del Pacifico (Peru). Prior to joining Hull, he worked at the University of Warwick, the University of Strathclyde and the London School of Economics. His main research interests focus on evaluating the impact of model-supported dialogue on strategising, decision making and collaborative problem solving. His work is regularly published in academic journals such as the European Journal of Operational Research, Omega, the Journal of the Operational Research Society and Group Decision and Negotiation. He has extensive experience in areas such as issue management. strategy evaluation, value-focused thinking, uncertainty management and resource allocation, and he has led more than 60 consulting and action research projects in the construction, transport, hospitality, health, legal services, higher education, government and defence sectors.

Matthew Knight, Business Development Director – Round 3, Siemens Energy
Professor Jack Hardisty, University of Hull
Britain has the best offshore wind resource in Europe: 50 GW of projects are planned, representing an investment of around £150 billion. But building the wind farms is only part of the story. Connecting offshore wind farms to the onshore grid presents a whole string of challenges – planning, regulation and financing as well as the practical issues of trying to put electrical equipment in the midst of the sea. This talk will cover these technical and non-technical issues, progress to date and the future for offshore electricity grids.
Nuclear safety – seismic and external hazards Tuesday 13 March, 2012 Robert Blackburn Building, Hull Campus, 7.00 for 7.30 pm
The experimental Neptune Proteus tidal stream power device has been installed on the north bank of the Humber Estuary. This talk describes the analysis of the resource using harmonic methods and the analysis of the technology using CFD and FEA techniques which were undertaken as part of the Proteus’ design phase. The construction and deployment of the device are then described followed by an explanation of the electrical and electronic control systems necessary to generate G59 compatible power for connection to grid. Data from the experimental device are discussed in the context of the development of the mass production design and supply chain systems and of the development of the Renewables industry in the Humber Region.

Film Studies Public Lecture
Wednesday 15 February 2012 Lecture Room 28, Wilberforce Building, Hull Campus, 4.15 pm Helen Wheatley, Associate Professor in Film and Television Studies at the University of Warwick Helen Wheatley is the author of Gothic Television (2006) and the editor of Re-viewing Television History: Critical Issues in Television Historiography (2007). She is currently undertaking research on the notion of television spectacle and visual pleasure on television and is also co-investigator on the AHRC-funded project A History of Television for Women in Britain, 1947–1989. This presentation will examine two key moments in the development of Gothic television for children: (mainly) original serials produced for ITV in the 1970s and Gothic heritage dramas produced by the BBC in the 1980s. In looking at these dramas, Helen is particularly interested in the child hero, their place within the domestic spaces of these dramas, and their relationship to the idea of the uncanny. She will pay particular attention to the representation of interstitial or hidden spaces within these texts and the ways in which the young protagonists inhabit and traverse these spaces. Helen also wants to offer some tentative discussion of the particular meanings and attractions of Gothic television for children, understanding childhood as an unsettling time of transition, where the family home becomes the key site of this period of uncertainty and when the child must also come to understand their place within wider society.
Reclaiming the middlebrow Thursday 15 March 2012 Meaux Room, Staff House, Hull Campus, 4.30 pm to 6.30 pm Professor Diana Holmes, School of Modern Languages and Cultures, University of Leeds Professor Holmes will talk about French female-authored novels that have won critical acclaim but have also found a wide popular readership, thus crossing the divide between high and popular culture.

Hull and District Theological Society
Martin Luther – Ghostbuster Wednesday 25 January 2012, at 7.30 pm Seminar Room, Graduate School A lecture by Dr David Bagchi (University of Hull) 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 (Boydell, 2009)
Pompeii and St Paul: using Pompeian evidence to think about early house church life Thursday 16 February 2012 Seminar Room, Graduate School, Hull Campus, 7.30 pm Joint meeting with the Hull Branch of the Classical Association and the Hellenic Society Dr Peter Oakes, University of Manchester Dr Oakes is Greenwood Senior Lecturer in New Testament Studies at the University of Manchester, where he has been a member of staff since 1997. His principal interest is in the lives of 1st-century Christians and how they would have received New Testament texts, beginning with the Roman colony of Philippi and St Paul’s letter to that city, and moving more generally into Pauline studies and into the archaeology of Rome and Pompeii. His publications include Reading Romans in Pompeii (2009). Because of the disaster which befell them in AD 79, the remains of Pompeii and Herculaneum continue to tell us a great deal about urban life in the Roman Empire. In addition, in recent years the application of the social sciences to biblical interpretation has revealed fresh insights into the New Testament. In the second of two lectures this year on cities and the Bible, Dr Oakes will demonstrate how the Vesuvian towns can help our understanding of the social world of the first Christians.
Secular indoctrination? The very idea of value-free education Wednesday 21 March 2012 Seminar Room, Graduate School, Hull Campus, 7.30 pm Joint meeting with the Hull Branch of the Classical Association Dr Stephen Burwood, Lecturer in Philosophy and Head of the Department of Humanities, University of Hull Secularists frequently allege that compulsory Religious Education in schools amounts to state-sponsored indoctrination. But can any education be truly ‘value-free’ – and would such an education be worth having in any case? In this lecture, Stephen Burwood will examine some of the assumptions about education which lie behind current debates on the place of RE in schools. Dr Burwood has particular interests in the philosophy of mind and the philosophy of education, and is a member of the Humanist Philosophers’ Group of the British Humanist Association.
God save the Queen: the spiritual dimension of monarchy Wednesday 16 May 2012, at 8.00 pm (preceded by the AGM at 7.30 pm) Seminar Room, Graduate School A lecture by Dr Ian Bradley (Reader in Practical Theology, University of St Andrews) The British national anthem is unusual, if not unique, in being a prayer to God for a person, not a hymn of praise for a flag, landscape, battle, or legendary hero. Our monarchs are anointed and consecrated as well as crowned, and our coinage proclaims them as ‘Defenders of the Faith’ reigning ‘by the grace of God’. But are these spiritual elements of monarchy anything more than relics of the medieval past? In the year of the Diamond Jubilee, Dr Bradley will argue that a re-sacralized monarchy holds the key to affirming spiritual values at the heart of public life in Britain today. Dr Bradley is a former Times journalist and a well-known broadcaster on the BBC.

Inaugural Lectures
Living in a microbial world: the good, the bad and the beautiful Monday 6 February 2012 Middleton Hall, Hull Campus, 6.00 pm Professor Mark Osborn, Professor of Microbial Ecology We live in a microbial world. Yet the general public has an unpopular perception of microbial life as the agents of disease. In this lecture Professor Osborn will challenge this assertion by exploring the microbial world from the poles to the tropics, to demonstrate the importance of microbial life in providing critical life-support systems to planet Earth and in the role of microbes as global degraders of man-made pollutants. Professor Osborn studied at Yarborough High School, prior to graduating with a BSc (Hons) in Genetics and Microbiology from the University of Sheffield in 1990. He then studied for a PhD in Genetics and Microbiology at the University of Liverpool, conducting research on the distribution, diversity and evolution of mercury resistance genes in mercury-polluted environments. He undertook postdoctoral positions at the University of Liverpool, studying the ecology and evolution of bacterial plasmids, and subsequently at the National Research Centre for Biotechnology in Braunschweig, Germany, studying microbial communities in soils polluted by polychlorinated biphenyls. Professor Osborn returned to the UK in 1999 as a Lecturer in Microbiology at the University of Essex, where he established a research group using molecular (DNA- and RNA-based) methods to study the ecology of microorganisms. This research included investigation of the impact of agricultural management practices on soil microbial communities and the characterisation of microbial communities degrading petroleum hydrocarbons in sea water. During his time at Essex, Professor Osborn initiated a longterm research interest in bacterial nitrogen cycling in estuarine systems. He returned to the University of Sheffield in 2005 as a Senior Lecturer in Environmental Microbiology, where he extended his research on nitrogen into tropical ecosystems and to investigate the impact of man-made nitrogen deposition on fragile Arctic tundra ecosystems. He additionally undertook research to study the biodiversity of microbial communities on the surface of glaciers and on microbial biofilms present in drinking-water pipe distribution systems. Most recently, he has developed two important new research areas to investigate the
26
impact of human activity on marine microbial community structure and function, namely to investigate the impacts of ocean acidification due to elevated carbon dioxide concentrations in sea water and the impact and fate of man-made plastic pollutants. Following his appointment as a Professor of Microbial Ecology at the University of Hull, research on these topics is continuing, while a new avenue of research is being developed to investigate the role of natural environments as reservoirs for bacterial antibiotic resistance. Professor Osborn has published over 50 journal articles and secured over £2 million in research grant funding. He has served as Editor of the journal Plasmid, as Associate Editor of Microbiology and BMC Microbiology and on the Editorial Boards of the ISME Journal and Applied and Environmental Microbiology. He has served on the Environmental Microbiology Group committee and on the Prokaryotic Division of the Society for General Microbiology. He was elected as a Fellow of the Society of Biology in 2010.
‘How do I know what I mean until I see what I say?’ * Monday 20 February 2012 Middleton Hall, Hull Campus, 6.00 pm Professor Christine Coupland, Professor of Organisational Behaviour The lecture will include a snapshot of life from a research perspective that makes visible alternative systems of meaning and value. A constructionist, discourse analytic, methodological approach to issues in a range of contexts has resulted in theoretical and empirical contributions to knowledge in the areas of careers and identities. Leaving school at 16 and working for a local authority for a number of years, Professor Coupland turned to academia in her mid 30s. Enjoying the challenge of a first degree in Psychology, she went on to complete a PhD inside three years as a Graduate Teaching Assistant at Nottingham University Business School. She took up her current post at Hull University Business School in June 2001. Christine’s research interests centre on issues of identity and language, drawing on theoretical perspectives from organisation studies and constructionist social psychology. More specifically, the individual in interaction with the institution of work and 27
organisations in intersection with their various audiences have been the foci of her research. Her published work is broadly an exploration of language and identities in the contexts of corporate web pages; careers; newcomers and older workers; and changing environments. Christine is currently working on studies in the context of a professional sports organisation and on the careers of musicians. * Adapted from Weick and Sutcliffe, 2005.
Narrative lifelines for a world in peril Monday 5 March 2012 Middleton Hall, Hull Campus, 6.00 pm Professor Martin Goodman, Professor of Creative Writing and Director of the Philip Larkin Centre for Poetry and Creative Writing The US Congress has voted that pizza is a vegetable. Where do you find the truth amidst such state-sponsored insanity? From Homer through Shakespeare to Zen, this lecture seeks desperately needed wisdom from the masters. Martin Goodman has published eight books (fiction and nonfiction), from On Bended Knees (1992 – shortlisted for the Whitbread First Novel Award) to Suffer & Survive: The Extreme Life of Dr J. S. Haldane (2007 – Winner, First Prize, Basis of Medicine, BMA Book Awards 2008). His PhD in Creative Writing from Lancaster University focused on dystopian fiction, while his most recent novel, Look Who’s Watching (2011), follows the murder of a Tibetan boy lama in the USA and considers the role of the media in manipulating the political and news agenda. Current research, based on the 20th-century life story of the Zen master Maezumi, considers how Zen’s recent entry into the West might effect societal change in the way it once did in Japan. Other areas of cross-cultural exploration in creative nonfiction include studies of Amazonian shamanism; sacred mountains of the world; the guru tradition; and the evolution of new religions. Of particular focus in his fiction is the inheritance of war guilt by succeeding generations, while a short story sequence maps the berdache tradition of Native American society onto Western culture.
Standing on the shoulders of giants: the contribution of primary care to improving cancer outcomes Monday 19 March Middleton Hall, Hull Campus, 6.00 pm Professor Una Macleod, Professor of Primary Care Medicine Una Macleod trained in medicine in Glasgow and remained there until moving to the Hull York Medical School in September 2010 as Professor of Primary Care Medicine. She took an individual route to training in general practice, including posts in hospital medicine and oncology. Following general practice training, she was awarded the first Cancer Research Campaign Primary Care Oncology Research Training Fellowship in 1995. She used this to study inequalities in outcomes for women with breast cancer and the extent to which patterns of care in primary and specialist care impact on these outcomes. Following the Fellowship she became a GP principal in the east end of Glasgow, combining that with academic posts at the University of Glasgow, where she built on the Fellowship by developing a programme of research in cancer and primary care.

Evolution of biological complexity Thursday 9 February 2012 Basil Reckitt Lecture Theatre, Ferens Building, Hull Campus, 7.00 pm Professor Ray Goldstein, Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, Cambridge University Professor Goldstein’s research area is biological physics. The talk will address one of the most fundamental issues in biology, namely the nature of evolutionary transitions from single-cell organisms to multicellular ones. It is a general rule of nature that larger organisms are more complex, at least as measured by the number of distinct types of cells present. This reflects the fitness advantage conferred by a division of labour among specialised cells over homogeneous totipotency. Yet increasing size has both costs and benefits, and the search for the driving forces behind the evolution of multicellularity is becoming a very active area of research. Suitable for a general audience.
Exploring the Solar System with robotic spacecraft and European efforts to explore Uranus Thursday 19 April 2012 Basil Reckitt Lecture Theatre, Ferens Building, Hull Campus, 7.00 pm Dr Chris Arridge, Mullard Space Laboratory, University College London Although we think of space as a vacuum, the space surrounding the giant planets is filled with atoms, molecules and charged particles. Some of these have come from the planets, their moons or their ring systems. Chris is interested in how the giant planets interact with the rest of the Solar System. He is involved in the Cassini mission to Saturn and studied some of the first data to be returned by the craft; he later studied the plumes of Enceladus, Saturn’s enigmatic moon. His work is funded by the European Space Agency and NASA.

Mary Wollstonecraft Lecture
Professor Brian Newbould on Beethoven
Monday 12 March 2012 Meaux Room, Staff House, Hull Campus, 6.00 pm
Saturday 10 March 2012 Middleton Hall, Hull Campus, 6.30 pm
Professor Susan James, Birkbeck College London
Emeritus Professor Brian Newbould (University of Hull), internationally known as a Schubert scholar, is a specialist in the music of the Classical period, with wider historical interests beyond that. His realisations of symphonies left unfinished by Schubert first brought him to international attention, since when he has written books on Schubert, pursued related musicological issues in articles, and completed other non-orchestral sketches. He is active as lecturer, composer, conductor, pianist and critic and is equally at home presenting research papers at leading universities (including Cambridge, Princeton, Berkeley and Stanford) and talking about music to audiences of ‘lay’ enthusiasts.
Susan James received her BA, MA and PhD degrees in Philosophy at the University of Cambridge. She taught for two years at the University of Connecticut before returning to Cambridge, where she held a Research Fellowship at Girton College and then a Lectureship in the Faculty of Philosophy. She moved to Birkbeck in 2000. Her overlapping areas of philosophical research are the history of 17th- and 18th-century philosophy, political and social philosophy, and feminist philosophy. Within the history of early modern philosophy her work has focused on the passions and their ethical and political implications. She has recently explored these themes in a series of articles about Spinoza and in a forthcoming book, Spinoza on Philosophy, Religion and Politics: The Theologico-Political Treatise. The Annual Mary Wollstonecraft Lecture was established in honour of the philosopher and feminist Mary Wollstonecraft, who spent her formative years in Beverley.

Music Research Seminars
The metaphor of voice in Stravinsky’s music Tuesday 21 February 2012 Larkin Building, L201, Hull Campus, 4.15 pm Dr Nicholas McKay, University of Sussex Stravinsky’s music has been somewhat ‘silenced’, while paradoxically ‘trumpeted’, by much formalist scholarship intent on eliminating the idea of ‘voice’ (music’s human subjectivity) from its aesthetic equation. In The Composer’s Voice, Cone asked, ‘If music is a language, then who is speaking?’ ‘To the proponent of a dehumanized, geometricized art, literally no one is speaking,’ responded Taruskin on behalf of the composer and his formalist followers. By such accounts Stravinsky’s ‘voice’ is thus an irrelevance, something lost in authorial absence (the abnegation of subjectivity) or surrogacy (the eclectic borrowing, or parodic play, of other voices). Through semiotic, linguistic and literary theory readings of musical gestures, this paper critiques these sotto voce accounts of Stravinsky’s music. Challenging this absence–surrogacy polemic – one articulated by Harvey as the voices of the ‘unconscious shaman’ (The Rite of Spring) and the ‘amusing impresario’ (The Rake’s Progress) – Dr McKay offers instead a close reading of the metaphor of voice in Stravinsky’s music seen through the interplay of characteristic (topics) and personified (other voiced) intertextual gestures.
Roberto Gerhard revisited Tuesday 6 March 2012 Larkin Building, L201, Hull Campus, 4.15 pm Professor Michael Russ, University of Huddersfield More than 40 years after his death in 1970, the music of this Catalan composer and pupil of Schoenberg – who came to live in Britain in 1939 – continues to be performed and recorded and it is now the focus of a biennial conference. Gerhard’s music has a number of sources and influences, Catalan, Spanish and modernist, which do not always sit easily together; but, as Arnold Whittall wrote recently, the ‘fracture’ between the folkism and the serial techniques, and the failure to integrate these various influences, is perhaps the key to understanding his music. In this paper Professor Russ explores this and other ideas in the context of Gerhard's fine Violin Concerto (1944–45) and Piano Concerto (1951). 34
The performer as listener: the practice of practising Morton Feldman’s late piano music Tuesday 20 March 2012 Larkin Building, L201, Hull Campus, 4.15 pm Dr Catherine Laws, University of York This paper explores Morton Feldman’s late piano music, using it as a lens through which to focus the essential contingencies and unpredictabilities of the moment of performance. Feldman offers a predisposition towards a certain kind of experimental practice, one that prompts a return to questions about the creative role of the performer, the nature of a performer’s listening, and the aim of practising an instrument. Most importantly, the questions Feldman asks, and the implications beyond his music, are rooted in the nature and experience of instrumental sound; if there is to be a research process, it needs to be primarily practical. The process of practising and performing Feldman’s music throws into stark relief issues that lie at the heart of piano playing but which often become submerged elsewhere in the piano repertoire. In playing Feldman’s music, one is forced to confront the connection between resonance and the perception of form. As such, the pianist’s practice is always, self-consciously, part of a process of enquiry that tests the relationship between subtleties of sounds across time. While Feldman is generally considered an Experimental composer, through this project Dr Laws is arguing for practising as an experimental process. In this sense, the aim of practice is to hone the ability, in and beyond performing Feldman, truly to listen and to respond to the contingencies of sound in the moment of performance, leading towards an openness to what cannot be planned for.

Monday 23 April 2012 Lindsey Suite, Staff House, Hull Campus, 6.00 pm
Rt Hon John Bercow, MP Parliamentary reform is much discussed but seemingly rarely delivered. Is this a fair assessment? What should be the principles and purpose of reform, not merely within the UK but in the democratic world more broadly? How should the House of Commons respond to the twin pressures of a restless executive and demands for a more truly representative polity? Is it possible for any parliament to meet these challenges while undertaking its traditional functions? The Speaker of the House of Commons will set out a framework for the debate about parliamentary reform in this decade and encourage comments and questions from the audience.
Multiculturalism Thursday 22 March 2012 Middleton Hall, Hull Campus, 6.00 pm (doors open 5.30) Professor Lord Bhikhu Parekh For some people in Britain multiculturalism has integrated minorities and created a vibrant and lively society. For others it has fragmented the country and encouraged domestic terrorism. This lecture explains why people take such divergent views, traces the history of multiculturalism in Britain, and offers a new way of understanding it.
