WEEK 1

C.H.a.D.S

Culture, Heritage & Diversity Series

A forum for students and staff to discuss their identities and how they differ (or coincide) in various contexts, location, and times. And to discuss what these identities mean to them as members of St Chad’s, Durham University, and the wider world.

To start the term off, we’re delighted that Chad’s undergraduates Ella Vickers, Mitali Goel, and Flik Fing are going to talk about what it is like to come from distinct and diverse backgrounds; from communities that have shaped their outlooks on the world and to which they feel a sense of affinity and affection.

Once they have shared their stories, they’ll be the chance for others to ask questions and reflect on where they come from, how that impacts their experience of being at St Chad’s, and how it informs where they want to go.

WEEK 2

A Zero Poverty, Zero Carbon Society SUSTAINABLE FUTURES

With its historic dependence on the coal industry, the North East’s current national role in green industry & carbon neutral technologies - from batteries to wind power – feels like the closing of an important circle. But there’s still a lot to do; with regional child poverty recently reported at just under 50%, ageng infrastructure, and a complicated national and international picture, the possibility of a ‘just transition’ to a zero carbon society seems to be teetering on the brink. Join us in St Chad’s College to explore the possibility of a zero carbon, zero poverty society.

Jamie Driscoll was elected the first ever Mayor for the North of Tyne Combined Authority – an area that covers Newcastle, North Tyneside and Northumberland authority – in May 2019. Writing that ‘the drag of poverty is as urgent as the climate crisis, and it causes long-term scarring to our whole society. They are two sides of the same coin’, he’s aiming for a zero-carbon, zero-poverty north east.

Jon Gluyas is Executive Director Durham Energy Institute and holds a professorial chair in the Department of Earth Sciences at Durham University His research is primarily in geoenergy, carbon capture and storage, along with a wider interest in climate and environmental change, energy policy and geohazards He works widely as a writer and editor and has held various leadership roles across the public and private sectors

Helen Stockton has 20 years of applied social research experience spanning the quantitative and qualitative paradigms and holds a BSc (Hons) in Sociology and Social Research; an MSc in Social Research; and MSc in Public Administration covering aspects of social policy development and analysis and public sector management. Helen manages the Research Team at NEA and supports NEA to be the expert voice on fuel poverty through high-quality research and policy analysis. Her areas of research interest include social policy and issues relating to poverty, energy and social justice. She is enthusiastic about exploring new methodological approaches for researching fuel poverty and the ways that knowledge can be better brokered between academia and those working in policy and practice. Helen also sits on the Advisory Board of the Durham Energy Institute at Durham University.

WEEK 3

Upskilling Each Other CAREERS

St Chad’s students go on to work in every employment field. And that means we have students here, now, with experience of getting internships, sitting for interviews and passing assessment centre tests. In Upskilling Each Other, we’ll be hearing from those who have cleared these career hurdles and asking questions like:

How do I prepare for assessment centres?

What’s it like completing an internship?

When in the calendar year do I need to be looking into my future career?

Monday 23rd January 2023, 7pm, Williams Library

WEEK 4

Ace In The Hole ARTHOUSE CINEMA

Ace in the Hole (dir. Billy Wilder) 1951. A frustrated former big city, quick talking and loosely moralled journalist finds a story of a cave which is ripe for exploitation. A Wilder classic, illustrating how complicit the (social) media is in generating, not simply representing and reporting, the news. Selected for preservation by the National Film Registry.

Monday 30th January 2023, 7pm, Williams Library

Sew & Sip (Clothes Fixing Workshop) Join us for an evening of learning some skills for maintaining and adjusting clothes in the name of sustainability and good taste!
