Do social practices shape morality?

In his examination of the changing prisms of comparative literature since the 18th century, Professor Tihanov uses methodological nationalism as the starting point of his analysis. He will demonstrate that the discourse of comparative literature begins with attention to formations larger than national literatures, before dwelling on developments in the 20th century that have tended to emphasise supranational categories. Finally, he will address the question of the rise of ‘world literature’ as a response to the unresolved issue of the underlying unit of comparison. By describing successive units of comparison, one can commence the process of conceptualising the history and current predicaments of comparative literature as a discipline.

Senate House Library Since its founding, Senate House Library has amassed numerous artefacts to support teaching, to record the history of the University of London, to honour their original owners or simply as curiosities. Amongst the Library’s millions of printed volumes and archival papers, the significance of these objects is often unclear or contentious. An eclectic selection of works of art, ancient writing, hair samples, and medals and coins make the Library a secular reliquary and private museum as well as a centre of learning.

This exhibition showcases some of the Library’s most remarkable objects and encourages viewers to reflect on their lasting meaning.

The exhibition is free and no registration is required.

Please contact Richard Espley with enquiries at richard.espley@london.ac.uk.

15 April–17 September 2016 Senate House Senate House Library presents ‘Shakespeare: Metamorphosis’, an exciting new exhibition and season of events that commemorate the 400th anniversary of the Bard’s death. Drawing on some of the strongest Shakespearean holdings in the country, the exhibition will explore texts, scholarship, and identity over four centuries — from the original sources behind the plays to the process by which the folios were created and amended, as well as the myriad ways in which Shakespearean texts have been translated and appropriated. Lectures, talks and symposia will feature leading scholars and address such topics as ‘cultural appropriation’, ‘Shakespeare’s identity’ and ‘The Victorian Shakespeare’. A full calendar of events will be published on the Library’s website (www.senatehouselibrary.ac.uk).

This general training is complemented by a set of research methodologies courses for students in social science disciplines, and in the software and management information tools required to enable students to complete their research effectively.

‘The School’s extensive and varied range of training programmes are designed to meet the needs of 21st-century researchers, offering programmes which enable scholars in the humanities to develop their skills and pursue their studies to maximum effect.’

Rachel Sutton, Registrar

Training in aspects of history, for instance, is extensive, notably in the Institute of Historical Research (IHR), which offers a comprehensive programme of short courses in research skills for historians. Taking advantage of the unparalleled availability of historical expertise in the University of London, and the wealth of archival materials in and around the capital, the Institute’s long-established and highly successful courses are widely recognised as the best means of developing and extending both essential and more specialised research skills. The IHR training programme is primarily aimed at postgraduate historians, but also welcomes established historians and independent researchers and writers of all sorts. Further historical skills courses run by The Warburg Institute include classes in medieval and Renaissance Latin for historians, and a programme of training in resources and techniques (jointly with the University of Warwick), which provides specialist research training for doctoral students working on Renaissance and early modern subjects in a range of disciplines. The London Palaeography Summer School run by the Institute of English Studies provides training in that key skill.

Extensive training for students of cultures and literatures is offered by the Institute of Modern Languages Research, whose

well-established and popular programme, comprising a series of Saturday workshops, is offered to any postgraduate student working in modern languages or a related discipline (for instance, film, or art history).

Most of the School’s training is available to postgraduate students across the UK, much of it free of charge. Details of all the research training courses provided are available from our website: www.sas.ac.uk/supportresearch/research-training

Online research training

In addition to the face-to-face training we offer, the School’s Postgraduate Online Research Training (PORT) website provides free online resources including tutorials, handbooks, and multimedia. PORT complements postgraduate study, providing training packages that can be accessed anywhere, at any time, and be undertaken at any pace.

It provides the building blocks for humanities research generally, as well as in particular humanities disciplines and specific topics.

Designed to meet the needs of 21st-century researchers, PORT offers specific skills-based programmes as well as more general guidance. For further information, please visit port.sas.ac.uk.

If you would like to receive a printed copy of our research training and skills handbook, or would like any guidance, please contact us:

www.senatehouselibrary.ac.uk

The School’s programme of personal development and transferable skills training is available in the form of weekly workshops, commencing in the autumn.

Making the most of the expertise available in the School and the University of London, the institutes between them also provide well-established disciplinespecific research training in core humanities disciplines.

www.sas.ac.uk

The School of Advanced Study draws on its research and teaching expertise to provide a programme of discipline-specific, generic and online research training to support the development of the scholars of tomorrow.

2016 W G Hart legal workshop: ‘Valuing expertise: legal, normative and social dimensions’

CFP deadline: 1 March 2016

20–21 September 2016

What are the multifaceted perspectives and contrasting motivations that emerge around resource extraction? How do encounters with natural and extractive resources shape local imaginaries of citizenship and ethics, but equally notions of opportunity, sociality and autonomy? How do nuanced accounts of local experiences reconfigure our understanding of extraction, environmentalism and power? How do customary knowledge practices and historical encounters with extractive economies feed into ideas of resource extraction in the present?

How do people adapt to extractive activities while negotiating with and mitigating the negative effects?

How does participation in extractive activities, and encounters with the materials themselves, influence transforming notions of value and the relationship between nature and society? How are ideas of development localised to take into consideration kinship and cosmology rather than merely notions of environmentalism and injustice?

Please submit abstracts of approximately 300 words to the conference organisers: Amy Penfield, amy.penfield@sas. ac.uk and Ainhoa Montoya, ainhoa.montoya@sas.ac.uk).

CFP deadline: 24 February 2016 From expert evidence in the courtroom, to the use of scientific knowledge in the justification for, and framing of, legislation, law and science are inextricably intertwined. Yet the extent to which science is well represented in law has long been doubted. The issue has become more pressing in recent years due to increased scientific and technological innovation, which draws into the adjudicative, legislative and policy realms areas of great scientific complexity for which legal expertise, in and of itself, proves insufficient. Such work also highlights the significant barriers and obstacles for regulators understanding other disciplines and the problems that can result. This workshop seeks to bring together a range of scholars, policy actors and others, whose diverse and innovative work addresses the complex meeting point of law and science, regulation and politics, evidence and epistemology. We welcome contributions that help to facilitate a conversation that can more broadly investigate the barriers to the kind of interdisciplinary understanding necessary for evidence-based legal and policy practice, and to map in concrete contexts how a commitment to evidence-based approaches would impact upon legal and public policy. Early career scholars are especially welcome, and key contributors will be invited to speak to the following core themes: the relationship of expert knowledge to governance; law’s knowledge; identifying expertise – demarcating the boundary between science and policy; using expertise; measuring expertise; the politics of expertise; judging expertise. The key aim of the event is to draw together a range of scholarship and work around the manner by which science, regulation and politics meet for which ‘expertise’ constitutes an organising concept. We will seek to publish a selection of the works and findings from the workshop in a special issue of a leading UK journal.

The exploitation of Latin America’s rich and varied resources has made the region a target for scholarly debates around fossil fuel economies, corporate exploitation, environmental impact and the development of accompanying infrastructure.

This workshop, which is hosted by the Institute of Latin American Studies and includes a keynote address, aims to tease out: the nuances of local level conflict; the competing motivations of extractive enterprises; the absence of any discernable conflict.

It will highlight the complex interplay between local imaginaries, moral ambiguities, cultural exigencies and the economic and political factors relating to both large- and small-scale resource exploitation, thereby providing an holistic account of natural resources and extractive activities, from so-called ‘artisanal’ mining and jobs in the oil industry, to agrobusiness and cocaine production. We encourage papers that wish to uncover alternative narratives on resource, and welcome submissions that address one or more of the following questions:

Please submit abstracts of no more than 1,000 words to ials.wghart@sas.ac.uk. Abstracts should highlight engagement with one of the core themes and must not include embedded footnotes or endnotes. Academic enquiries may be addressed to: r.ashcroft@qmul.ac.uk, priaulxn@cardiff.ac.uk or matthew.weait@port.ac.uk.
