Wednesday 24 October 2012 Middleton Hall, Hull Campus, 6.00 pm (doors open at 5.30 pm) Professor Peter Raynes, Leverhulme Emeritus Research Fellow, University of York Liquid crystal displays now completely dominate the way we see information generated within electronic equipment. LCDs are found in a range of products from simple watches and calculators through mobile phones, all forms of computers, to large area televisions. In 1972 chemists at Hull led by Professor George Gray FRS invented the world’s first stable room temperature liquid crystal material which helped change LCDs from a laboratory curiosity into the multibillion dollar industry of today. The lecture will describe the background to the technology, the Hull invention itself, and how it was developed into highly successful commercial products. As the LCD market developed towards larger displays showing ever larger amounts of information, the technology diversified considerably, and the lecture will conclude with a glimpse of the UK’s wider contribution to this development.
Ferens Distinguised Lecture
How a Hull invention helped to change the way we see electronic information
Following a PhD in low temperature Physics at Cambridge, Peter Raynes joined the Royal Signals and Radar Establishment (now part of QinetiQ) at Malvern in 1971 where he started research into liquid crystals materials and devices. In 1992 he moved to the Sharp Laboratories of Europe Ltd at Oxford, where he was Director of Research until he took up the Chair of Optoelectronics in the Department of Engineering Science at Oxford in 1998. In 2010 he retired from Oxford and moved to York, where he is now a Leverhulme Emeritus Research Fellow and an Honorary Visiting Professor in the Department of Chemistry. Earlier this year he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Hull.

Annual History Lecture
Throughout his research career Peter has worked on liquid crystal materials and displays, and for many years worked closely with Professor George Gray FRS and his Liquid Crystal Group in the Department of Chemistry at Hull. His work with Hull University and BDH Chemicals Ltd helped develop several highly successful ranges of liquid crystal materials which for many years dominated the world market; this work gained two Queen’s Awards for Technological Achievement. He also made many contributions to liquid crystal displays; some of these are still in widespread use including one, known as the supertwist display, used in the first generation of mobile phones and laptop computers. Professor Raynes was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1987.

Wednesday 17 October 2012 The Seminar Room, Graduate School, Hull Campus, 7.30 pm Dr Ann Christie, York St John University Jesus once asked his disciples, ‘Who do you say that I am?’ Christology – the question of who Jesus is and what he has done for us – has been debated ever since by generations of theologians. But how do Christians who have received little or no theological education answer Jesus’s question? Ann Christie’s research has focussed on mapping and critically analysing ‘ordinary Christology’, using social-scientific methods, and her findings have recently been published in a monograph of the same name by Ashgate. Dr Christie, a former biochemist, is Senior Lecturer in Theology and Ministry at York St John University.

After the Bible, the Book of Common Prayer is the most frequently cited book in the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, and must be one of the few world liturgies regularly to supply titles for detective novels. But does this make it a cultural museum piece rather than a theological resource from which Christians today can still learn? In the 350th anniversary year of the famous 1662 BCP, David Bagchi will look at the Prayer Book’s past, its present, and its potential for the future. Dr Bagchi is Senior Lecturer in Ecclesiastical History at the University of Hull, and is the author of several studies on Reformation theology, including the early Tudor chapter for the Oxford Handbook of Early Modern English Literature and Religion (forthcoming).

This talk will explore how and why religious communities make certain choices regarding their new media usage. Through the lens of the religious-social shaping of technology we see several distinct factors shaping Jewish, Muslim and Christian groups’ negotiation with new technologies. This process is explored through the rise of the kosher cell phone in Israel and how religious values and practices influenced ultra-Orthodox Jews’ response and innovation to the mobile phone. Heidi Campbell is Associate Professor of Communication at Texas A&M University where she teaches in Telecommunications and Media Studies. Since 1997 she has studied religion and the internet and what impact new media technologies are having on religious communities. She has written on a variety of topics including religion online, new media ethics, technology and theology and religious communities response to mass media. Her work has appeared in a variety of books and journals on themes related to religion and media including New Media and Society, Journal of Media and Religion, Journal of Contemporary Religion, the book Religion Online (Dawson & Cowan, Routledge 2004). She is author of Exploring Religious Community Online (Peter Lang, 2005) and When Religion Meets New Media (Routledge, 2010).

Crime, Life, Death and Recovery: 25 years of research on heroin injectors
Overdue and overspent – why do our projects go so badly wrong?
Monday 22 October 2012 Middleton Hall, Hull Campus, 6.00 pm
Monday 5 November 2012 Middleton Hall, Hull Campus, 6 pm
Professor Richard Hammersley, Professor of Health Psychology
Professor Terry Williams, Professor of Management Science and Dean of Hull University Business School
There is great concern about drug problems and drug injecting, but interventions to prevent and treat them are not as successful as they could be. The most common explanation of addiction is that it is something like a brain disease so that when people take certain drugs like heroin they cannot help but become addicted. Research on drug problems has found that the reality is more complex and involves a mixture of psychological and social factors. This lecture will draw upon 25 years of research to explore the following questions: Why is heroin use linked to crime? Why do people take drugs? Why do most drug users not become addicted? Why do people overdose? What patterns of drug dependence are there? What can be done to help recovery? What options are there for changing drug laws? Richard Hammersley is Professor of Health Psychology in the Department of Psychology. He has been researching drug use and drug problems since 1986 in work that crosses boundaries between psychology, sociology and health. His publications include books on drugs policy, drugs and crime, ecstasy, and cocaine, and a number of major reports for the Home Office, the Scottish Office and the Youth Justice Board. His many papers include work on how young people grow out of crime and grow into drug use, on drug overdoses in Scotland, on cannabis and on ‘legal’ highs. He has just completed a large study collecting the life stories of people who have injected drugs, to improve understanding of their pathways into and out of drug injecting and identify the strengths that they bring to recovery.

This lecture will look at why many of our major projects can go so drastically wrong. By modelling those projects and getting a better understanding of how they behave, we’ll look at some implications not only for how we manage projects, but also what ‘complexity’ is, how we think about risk, and the place of some philosophical ideas in business studies. Terry Williams has 35 years experience in Management Science. After degrees at Oxford and Birmingham, and a few years lecturing, he spent 9 years building up a successful practice (and a small team) in Management Science in engineering consultancy YARD; this started in logistics but later specialised in Project-Risk Management (PRM) of major projects, including acting as Risk Manager for some major defence projects. He then spent 13 years in the Management Science Department of Strathclyde University, latterly as Professor and Head of Department. A team was developed to support major postproject litigation claims, which supported major post-project claims, particularly Delay and Disruption, totalling over $1.5billion in Europe and North America. On his 2005 marriage he moved to the University of Southampton, later becoming Head of the School of Management there. In 2011 he became Dean of the Hull University Business School. His research and consultancy continues in project behaviour, and particularly in post-project claims. He has become a thought-leader in the worldwide Project Management research community, particularly playing a role in the US-based Project Management Institute. He maintains his discipline as a Management Scientist – as well as project modelling His research has covered modelling many uncertain systems, from 37
the economics of the UK renewable energy market to battles to production systems – and for 10 years he was joint editor of the Journal of the Operational Research Society. He is the author of around 70 peer-reviewed papers and a considerable number of monographs and books.
Shining Stones and Marble Halls: encountering sculpture in the long nineteenth century. Monday 19 November 2012 Middleton Hall, Hull Campus, 6.00 pm Professor Alison Yarrington, Professor of Art History and Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Viewing sculpture in the historic interior can be an unsettling business, as the heroines of the film adaptations Room with a View (1985) and Pride and Prejudice (2005) demonstrate. The experiences of Lucy Honeychurch ‘in Santa Croce with no Baedeker’ or Elizabeth Bennet suddenly seeing the light as a tourist visiting Pemberley, are indicative of the ways in which the interplay between theatre, literature, history and art can contribute to sculpture’s impact in particular settings: a palimpsest of past and present, intention and reception. This lecture will consider modes of displaying and viewing sculpture in specific private and public locations, including Chatsworth, London, Florence and Rome, and will suggest several questions to ask of some key objects. Alison Yarrington was appointed Dean of FASS in May 2011. Her degree in Fine Art and the History of Art (Reading University) was followed by a PhD (Darwin College, University of Cambridge). Her first academic post was at the University of Leicester, where she was promoted to a personal chair in Art History. She was Dean of the Faculty of Arts at Leicester before her appointment as Richmond Professor of Fine Art at the University of Glasgow in 2003. Her research and publications are in the history of sculpture in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, including BritishItalian marble trade and cultural transactions, women and sculpture, public sculpture, and collecting and display. 38
Recently completed major research projects include the AHRCfunded Mapping the Practice and Profession of Sculpture in Britain and Ireland 1851–1951 and Mobilising Mapping, both collaborative, inter-institutional research projects with colleagues at the University of Glasgow, the V&A Museum, and the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds. She was academic advisor to the Chatsworth Sculpture Gallery redisplay that opened in March 2009 and continues to research this collection. She is also developing research with colleagues at Hull into maritime sculpture, in particular figureheads and associated sculptural decoration. Alison is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London, and FRSA. She is Chair of the Association of Art Historians, a Governor of the Glasgow School of Art, and on the Advisory Council of the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art
‘Zombies, Run!’ Can we use technology to build prosocietal behaviours? Monday 3 December 2012 Middleton Hall, Hull Campus, 6.00 pm Professor Richard Vidgen, Professor of Systems Thinking Society is facing many challenges. Poor diet and lack of exercise contribute to obesity and an unsustainable burden on health services; many households are in fuel poverty while as a nation we need to reduce carbon emissions; greater social engagement and participation in communal life are needed to improve wellbeing. This lecture will consider how technology can be used to encourage pro-societal behaviours. Richard Vidgen is Professor of Systems Thinking in the Hull University Business School. He worked for fifteen years in the IT industry as a project manager and consultant. On leaving industry he studied for a PhD in Information Systems at the University of Salford and then worked at the School of Management, University of Bath and the Australian School of 39

Making use of uncertainty: From quantum physics to quantum technologies Thursday 15 November 2012 Basil Reckitt Lecture Theatre, Ferens Building, Hull Campus, 6.30 pm Dr Jacob Dunningham, University of Leeds On a microscopic level the universe is governed by quantum physics. This is a strange wonderland where things are not as they seem. Objects can be in two places at once, cats can be both alive and dead, and objects can pass straight through walls. One of the most unsettling aspects of quantum physics is that it has at its very heart the idea that the universe is fundamentally uncertain. I will discuss the nature of this uncertainty and show how, far from being a hindrance, it can be put to use in a range of cutting edge new technologies. These include the codes that cannot be cracked, a new generation of superfast computers, and the ability to teleport objects over large distances.

Music Research Seminars
Creative performers – creative performances: Constructs and processes Tuesday 16 October 2012 L201, Larkin Building, Hull Campus, 4.15 pm Dr Mirjam James and Dr Karen Wise, University of Cambridge Research on creativity in educational environments mainly focuses on the creation of new musical material such as composition and improvisation. However, a growing number of studies recognise the need for spontaneous and creative decisions made by a performer while reproducing existing material. To date, studies of one-to-one teaching and learning within conservatoires have not adequately examined aspects that enable students to develop as creative performers. The study reported here has taken a novel approach to the investigation of concepts of creativity in performance and aspects of creative learning in a conservatoire environment. Sponsored by Sempre
Adam Zamoyski Chopin with Adam Zamoyski Tuesday 6 November 2012 Middleton Hall, Hull Campus, 6.00 pm (a reception will follow this event) We are delighted to welcome the acclaimed author Adam Zamoyski, who speaks about his recent book Chopin Prince of the Romantics (Harper Press, 2011). Drawn to Poland by his powerful family lineage and a fascination with its history, Adam Zamoyski’s insights on Chopin take us into the heart of Polish culture. In conversation with Dr Alexander Binns and you, the audience, interspersed with live musical performances of Chopin by music students at the University of Hull.
Music and the Politics of Piety in Renaissance Italy Tuesday 13 November 2012 L201, Larkin Building, Hull Campus, 4.15 pm Dr Timothy Shephard, University of Sheffield During the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, several Italian despots established large chapel choirs, and built magnificent court chapels to house them. Traditionally, musicologists read these choirs in terms of the ruler’s personal taste for music, but more recently it has become clear that large chapel choirs played important roles in establishing and sustaining a regime. In particular, a large choir could play a very visible role in presenting a ruler to his subjects in a favourable light, as a pious and powerful prince. In this paper, I use various contemporary writings on government and the ideal prince (including, of course, Machiavelli) to establish and describe the political importance of piety to the Renaissance prince, giving a couple of practical case studies involving chapel choirs.
The Invention of Global Opera Tuesday 27 November 2012 L201, Larkin Building, Hull Campus, 4.15 pm Dr Benjamin Walton, University of Cambridge In this presentation I want to address the question of the meanings of Italian opera beyond Europe during the first half of the 19th century. Taking as a starting point Jürgen Osterhammel’s remark that ‘opera globalized early’, I will use the case of the first opera company to go around the world to argue for an understanding of Italian operatic globalisation that differs both from its 18th-century antecedents, and from the steamship-driven network that would develop later in the century. In these terms, the performances of small and often precarious touring groups ended up resonating far beyond the sometimes ramshackle theatres in which they performed.

Facing the Future, Facing the Past
Wednesday 5 December 2012 3.15pm - 6.00 pm
Thursday, 6 December 2012, 6pm Identity and Self-Identity in Early Twentieth-Century Polish Art
3.15: Professor Keith Tester (University of Hull): Introduction
This lecture will examine different ways in which national and personal identity was represented in Polish painting and sculpture in the early 20th century. During a period marked by struggles for Poland’s independence, and by the changes of modernity across Europe, works of art variously looked to subjects and styles drawn both from the past, from artistic tradition or from the pantheons of national heroes, such as Adam Mickiewicz and Fryderyk Chopin, and looked to the future by creating new artistic idioms and drawing upon their modern surroundings. This lecture will consider sculpted portraits and public monuments by Xawery Dunikowski and Wacław Szymanowski, reinventions of folk art by Zofia Stryjeńska, and expressions of national identity in the paintings of Jacek Malczewski, as well as considering the brooding and more introspective self-portraits of Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz and Bruno Schulz.
3.45: Professor Zygmunt Bauman (Universities of Leeds and Warsaw) 'The Haunting Spectre of Westphalian Sovereignty' 4.30: Professor Aleksandra Kania (University of Warsaw) 'Polish Values in a European Context: Results of the European Values Study 1990-1999-2008' 5.15: Questions and Discussion Zygmunt Bauman is one of the most significant global social thinkers of our age. His work, spanning nearly five decades, steadfastly refuses to be constrained by arbitrary disciplinary boundaries within the arts, humanities and social sciences. An extraordinarily productive scholar, his writings continue to be relevant to his host subject of sociology, but also to social and political theory, philosophy, ethics, art theory, media/communications studies, cultural studies, and theology. His unique contribution of the conceptual framework 'liquid modernity' has influenced international research within all of these disciplines.

St John’s College Lecture
Monday 12 November 2012 Middleton Hall, Hull Campus, 6.00 pm Professor David Lomas PhD, ScD, FRCP, FMedSci Frederick Chopin was born in 1810 and had a distinguished career as a composer, pianist and sometimes crayon caricaturist. He was however a sickly man with recurrent episodes of breathlessness and coughing up blood. He spent time in the South of France and then in Majorca to help with this recovery but ultimately died at the young age of 39. It is long believed that he suffered with consumption (tuberculosis) however his postmortem carried out by an expert in tuberculosis showed that he had a disease that had not previously been encountered. This talk will focus on a disease called antitrypsin deficiency which may have accounted for the death of Chopin. It will describe our investigative studies into the cause of the disease and will demonstrate how understanding antitrypsin deficiency provides insights into a whole range of other diseases as diverse as blood clots (thrombosis) and dementia. Our understanding of the complexity of protein tangles allows the development of small molecules as potential therapies for this condition. One day we hope to be able to cure the disease that may have killed Frederick Chopin. Professor David Lomas is Fellow of St John’s College, Cambridge, University Professor of Respiratory Biology, Deputy Director of the Cambridge Institute for Medical Research and Honorary Consultant Physician at Addenbrooke’s and Papworth Hospitals. His research interests are focused on the pathobiology of α1antitrypsin deficiency, the serpinopathies and COPD.
