University of Suffolk Webinars: English/Cultural Studies

# data[].attributes.body
The University of Suffolk will be holding free Monthly Webinars covering various topics from within English/Cultural Studies. These webinars are an excellent opportunity for students who are considering studying an English or Social Sciences degree at University level. Please promote to whoever you feel would benefit. Details for the first three sessions below:

Queer Poetry: 8th February 5:00-6:00PM

This workshop, delivered by Darragh Martin, explores queer poems from some of the best classic and contemporary writers, including Sappho and Danez Smith. Looking closely at selected poems, we will examine how writers disrupt gender and sexuality binaries and consider how poetry can be queer in form as well as content.

https://www.uos.ac.uk/about/events/english-online-webinar-queer-poetry/

Shakespeare's Othello: 4th March 5:00-6:00PM

Othello has often been read as a play about racism – but is that all that’s at the heart of it? Dr Andrea Smith will help you examine Shakespeare’s text from the perspectives of race, class and gender focusing on the three main characters: Othello himself, Iago and Desdemona. Using audio clips of actors playing these parts, Dr Smith will help you to think about both the text itself and the effect interpretation can have on it.

https://www.uos.ac.uk/about/events/english-online-webinar-shakespeares-othello/

Forensic Linguistics: 16th April 5:00-6:00PM

How can we apply our knowledge of language to the real world? What are the implications of language structure to show intent? This workshop, delivered by Jenny Amos, looks at how the scientific analysis of language works in the real world by considering issues such as language use as admissible evidence in court (the status of the so-called 'ear-witness'), using language to determine immigration status, and examples of cases in terrorism threats. Students will get the chance to discuss their own observations of data and discuss the wider implications of language analysis.

Presenter: Cora Chalaby

The History of Art programme at UCL encourages you to see the world differently. This Masterclass will respond to the prompt "History of Art: Is it All Old Masters?" using the abstract paintings of Alma Thomas, an African American woman artist working in the 1960s and 1970s, as a case study. The session will allow you to explore how diverse, interdisciplinary, and dynamic History of Art is as a subject.

Topic: What is freedom?

Presenter: Dr John Filling

Date: Thursday 14 March 2024, 4 - 5pm

UCL's Department of Political Science and School of Public Policy offers a uniquely stimulating environment for the study of all fields of politics. This Masterclass will provide an overview of what it's like to study Politics, and related areas such as Philosophy, at a university like UCL. The session will focus on key concepts in politics, like freedom, and we will ask key questions such as: What does freedom mean? What threatens our freedom? And are we entitled to more freedom?

Topic: Contract Law: Mistake and Misrepresentation

Presenter: Dr Niamh Connolly

Date: Tuesday 19 March 2024, 4 - 5pm

UCL Laws is a law faculty for the world: a diverse and progressive community of researchers, students, leading academics and alumni embedded in a top, research-oriented university. In this Masterclass, you will be learn about the key doctrines of contract law. Contract law is a compulsory module on the first year of the Law LLB (Latin Legum Baccalaureus) degree.

School of Management

April - Sciences and Social Sciences

Philosophy

Computer Science

Topic: Graphics, VR/AR, and AI

Presenter: Ahmet Hamdi Güzel

Date: Thursday 11 April 2024, 4 - 5pm

In this Masterclass, you will dive into the fascinating world of Computer Graphics, VR/AR Displays, and their conjunction with AI. You will explore how these technologies allow us to interact with digital elements blended into our real world or immerse us entirely in a computer-generated environment. You will investigate Computer Generated Holography, uncovering how we can create three-dimensional images that appear as if they are floating in mid-air by computing the light's behaviour. You will also discover how AI techniques can help researchers advance these technologies.

Mathematics

Date: Tuesday 16 April 2024, 4 - 5pm

The Mathematics Department at UCL is highly regarded, being one of the founding departments of UCL established in 1826. In this Masterclass, we will look at applied mathematics. In this topic, we are often led to models where finding an exact solution to the problem can be difficult to achieve. However, a good numerical approximation is very useful for most practical purposes. We will discuss different techniques to numerically solve a variety of equations where an explicit solution cannot be found, such as the bisection method, the secant method, and fixed-point iteration methods.

Education, Society and Culture

Topic: Nonsense and Knowledge: Finding Our Way in a Confusing World

Presenter: Dr JD Carpentieri

Date: Thursday 18 April 2024, 4 - 5pm

The world is full of misinformation, misdirection and outright lies. There is a lot of genuinely useful knowledge out there, but in a world of information overload it can be almost impossible to separate that knowledge from nonsense. In this session, we will discuss misinformation, both online and in the broader world. Who produces this misinformation and why? What are their strategies for fooling us? And why are we more easily fooled than we might want to admit? In this interactive, university-lecture style Masterclass, we will also look at strategies for identifying and avoiding nonsense in our pursuit of genuine knowledge. In doing so, we will consider questions such as: When should we rely on common sense and when should it be avoided? How do governments use statistics to mislead us? Do your parents really know what they're talking about? And (perhaps most importantly) can you really trust university rankings?

Eligibility

All eligible applicants who meet at least one of the shortlisting criteria specified in points 2 to 6 on the webpage will be offered a place on this programme.

We’d like to tell you about our Work Experience opportunity for School Years 10 and 11, which takes place 8-12 July 2024.  We will welcome four students to come and spend a week discovering more about different roles in an art museum.

Participants will work in a variety of teams across the Sainsbury Centre and support gallery staff in a range of tasks, take part in their own project and gain experience and skills for their CV. This is a great chance to think about different options for the future.

As part of the placement, participants will also complete a Bronze Arts Award qualification.

Applications for Work Experience 8-12 July 2024 are now open.  Students should download an application form from our website and return it to rachel.anstey@uea.ac.uk by 15 December 2023.  Places will then be allocated, and we will inform all applicants whether they have been offered a place before the end of term.

We select applicants based on their written statement and consider how much they are likely to benefit from a work experience placement.  No previous experience is necessary – only a willingness to work hard and try new things.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Our campus location has inspired a long-running programme for students and young people to get involved in the Sainsbury Centre.

But how do craftspeople discover their craft and go about pursuing it as a career? Delivered in collaboration with Cockpit, this online event will include a live workplace tour of some of the studios and makers based at one of their award-winning London hubs.

Focus on Music

Wednesday 18th October, 10am - 10.45am

There has never been a better time to choose a career in the music industry, it creates over 140k full time jobs in hundreds of different roles and is growing all the time. For every artist you see on stage, there are hundreds of people behind the scenes - from tour managers, technicians, engineers, promoters, lawyers and many more.

Delivered in collaboration with UK Music, this free online event will feature a video games composer, a music producer and a business leader, all working in their dream jobs across the music sector. We'll hear more about the types of roles that underpin this globally renowned sector and understand how people get into them, with advice on vocational pathways including apprenticeships.
Panellists: Dr Oliver Morris, Director of Education & Skills at UK Music Bre McDermott-King, International Product Manager at AWAL Chloe Kwok, Musician & Composer at Rare Dylan Barber, Music Producer - Self-employed
About the panellists:

Dr Oliver Morris, Director of Education & Skills UK Music
Oliver has been with UK Music since 2015. Before this he was a tutor, researcher, community worker, musician and composer. His PhD thesis explored 'The Educational and Economic Aspirations of Young People in Wales'. He sits on the MU's Education Committee, advisory board for Live Music Exchange, steering group for Make Music Day UK, advisory group for London Music Fund's Amplify London Programme and is a member of Anthem that was set up to deliver the Welsh Government's new Music Endowment Fund for Wales.

Bre McDermott-King - International Product Manager - AWAL
Bre is an International Product Manager at AWAL, a label under Sony Music UK, who works with marketing teams across the globe to execute campaigns for independent artists. She previously headed up Sony Music UK's first ever diversity committee, HUE UK - a title that won her a no.14 position on the Yahoo! Finance x The EMpower 100 Ethnic Minority Future Leaders 2021 list. Bre co-founded and runs a collective called Women Connect, which specializes in promoting equal opportunities for women, non-binary and gender-fluid people in the creative industries. She is also a Board Member and Trustee of Youth Music.

Chloe Kwok - Musician & Composer - Rare
Chloe is a Musician at Rare Ltd - an in-house composer writing music for Sea of Thieves. She first joined Rare as an Audio Intern after graduating from the University of Huddersfield in 2019, with a bachelor's degree in Music and Sound for Image. Since then, she has composed for many trailers and in-game assets for the Sea of Thieves and for upcoming games at Rare Ltd.

Dylan Barber - Music Producer - Self-employed
Dylan is an award winning sound engineer from Norwich. At the beginning of his career, he worked primarily in live sound. Until 2020, he worked in a range of venues with a variety of bands and in broadcast with the BBC: this kind of work helped him learn his craft and gain on-the-job experience. During the pandemic, he became interested in recording and used the downtime to learn new software and skills, and in 2022, he opened a recording studio. He's also a lecturer in Music Technology and Acoustics in FE and HE at Access Creative College.

The Local Government Experience - WEX with Norfolk County Council

There are hundreds of different job roles within local government. Whatever your future plans are, there is a role that will suit you. Whether you:

Leave school straight after sitting your GCSE's

Decide to take an apprenticeship

Stay in education to gain A-Levels, NVQ's or other qualifications

Go on to get a degree at university

Local government will have an exciting, rewarding and varied career waiting at a council near you. It's time to forget two things that you've probably heard in the past:

Work experience week is boring and unfulfilling

Council's do nothing other than empty your bins and fix the roads

We have created a brand new and unique event that will allow you to become a council employee for an entire week. Within a group of Year 10 students from across Norfolk, you will get a taste of the fantastic career opportunities that await you in a council. There will be no photocopying tasks, making teas and coffees or other pointless activities. You will gain a genuine experience of what working within local government is like.

Who, When and Where

This opportunity is open to Years 10 students in Norfolk

It’s taking place Monday 26 - Friday 30 June 2023 at County Hall, Norwich, and Monday 10 – Friday 14 July 2023 at Broadland and South Norfolk District Council Offices, Horizon Centre, Broadland Business Park, Norwich

Biology: Fieldwork – How To Collect Good Data When Practically Everything Nearby Is Trying To Eat You

# data[].attributes.body
March 27 @ 14:15 - 15:00

For many prospective scientists, the idea of fieldwork is a dreamy part of the work, and while sitting on a tropical beach sipping cocktails, recording birdsong, might sound great, it’s also not exactly your typical fieldwork experience.

After more than 20 years working in the field, biologist and broadcaster Professor Ben Garrod, from the University of East Anglia, gives a ‘tell all’ talk about the highs and lows of working in the field.

What’s it really like to live remotely for years? How can you ensure your data collection is done properly? Why is it essential to understand the local human communities more than the local wildlife communities, and when should you start to worry about that strange wiggly feeling in your chest at night in the forest?

Ben believes every biologist should give field work a go, but also that every biologist should know what to expect as part of the adventure.

Ben believes every biologist should give field work a go, but also that every biologist should know what to expect as part of the adventure.

Speaker Profile (Please Click): Ben Garrod is Professor of Evolutionary Biology and Science Engagement at the University of East Anglia. He has lived and worked around the world for the last 20 years, from working alongside coastal communities in Madagascar to protect sharks, and studying introduced monkeys across the Caribbean, to living among wild chimpanzees in Uganda, and excavating the world's largest dinosaur in Argentina, with David Attenborough. Ben is currently helping develop new conservation methods in Western Africa to support great ape conservation.

Our events are designed so that a group of students can take part from a classroom or students and teachers can take part as individuals, either from school or from home. This means that sessions will continue irrespective of possible school closures.

As a live, participative event, this session will not be recorded but slides and other resources will be shared after the event, where available.

Suitable for: Year 12 & 13 students (and equivalent) studying, or with a possible interest in studying, Biology and related disciplines.

Preparation/Pre-Reading: Students may wish to consider the topic in advance, with respect to challenges they may face or questions they have. Students can also think about questions they have about studying Biology at university level.

The IT Setup: The event will be run on Bluejeans (similar to Zoom) and participants will be able to join using laptops, tablets, and mobile devices. If you are joining as a school group, we recommend connecting with one device and projecting on to a whiteboard. You will be able to interact with the university via a microphone and/or typed comments and questions. Full details will be sent to those who have registered (see below) prior to the event.

Booking a Place: This is free for schools and colleges. If you would like to take part in this event, please register your interest using the link to the registration form below:

IF YOU’RE WEIGHING UP YOUR OPTIONS AS A SCHOOL LEAVER THIS VIRTUAL EVENT IS PRECISELY WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE YOUR DECISION!

Join us on Tuesday 22nd November from 5-8pm. Throughout the evening we have current apprentices talking about a life free of university debt and filled with incredible career prospects at just 18 years old.

They'll be sharing their experiences of discussing options outside of university with their parents. Why they decided the apprenticeship route was for them and what's next now they're nearing the end of their apprenticeship.

We have 15 of the UK’s Best Employers uncovering life-changing opportunities for people just like you and an employability workshop with the University of Law that’ll set your CV apart from everyone else.

Still unsure whether it’s worth attending? Let us treat you to dinner! We’ll send you a £5 Deliveroo voucher just for attending.
