There are celebrations and events to suit all interests – from our festive Carol Services to events covering a range of topics such as history, music and religion. As a values-driven institution committed to the exchange of knowledge, we are keen to inspire and entertain, to share our research with you and make a positive contribution to society. We cherish our relationship with you – as residents of Winchester and the wider Hampshire community – and love you to be involved.
WISHING YOU PEACE, LOVE, JOY AND HOPE THIS CHRISTMAS, AND WE HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON. Many of our events are free of charge and most take place on our King Alfred Quarter – providing you with the perfect opportunity to explore our beautiful, modern campus – or at the West Downs Quarter. Here you can enjoy the striking architecture of the Victorian Grade II listed building that houses our Business School and our new flagship building, which will be one of the ‘greenest’ in Winchester, boasting sustainable features including a combined heat and power plant, rainwater harvesting, a green roof and solar photovoltaic panels.

THIRD ANNUAL JOHN CRANMER MEMORIAL FOUNDATION LECTURE NO ABIDING CITY: CHRISTIANITY IN THE MIDDLE EAST RT REVD MICHAEL LEWIS (BISHOP IN CYPRUS AND THE GULF)
The Anglican diocese of Cyprus and the Gulf serves the people of around ten political jurisdictions across a huge area. Everywhere our doors and our worship are open to all. We’re of many nationalities. Some of us are citizens of the land in which we live but most of us are expatriate migrants. We’re aware that our region, the Middle East and Eastern Mediterranean, is in the spotlight of world attention. What happens here has global implications. With our strong ministry of presence we try, alongside other Christian traditions, to shine a bright light especially in times of unrest and violent conflict. With people of goodwill across faiths, we work and pray for peace with justice. This lecture will reveal some of the simple but awe-inspiring and out-of-the-limelight work of Christians in the Middle East.

TAVERN TALK: TRIGGER WARNINGS DR STEVIE SIMKIN (UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER)
In recent years, many teachers have removed sensitive texts from their syllabi, as heated debates about ‘trigger warnings’ have become routine in film education. Stevie reflects upon his experience of teaching films that could be considered potentially ’triggering’, how his approach to teaching them has evolved, and how students’ responses to them have changed. Stevie is Reader in Drama at the University of Winchester and has published extensively on controversy and censorship in cinema.

STRESS – THE PLAGUE OF MODERN LIFE? (OR HOW AND WHY WE ALL BECAME STRESSED AND WHAT WE’VE DONE ABOUT IT FOR THE LAST HUNDRED YEARS) DR JILL KIRBY (UNIVERSITY OF SUSSEX)
In this talk Dr Jill Kirby will explore the cultural and social history of stress in twentieth century Britain. Drawing on self-help books from across the century, she will discuss the ways that people have conceptualised their responses to the ‘troubles of life’, how they have explained and understood them and what they have done to try to deal with them. By examining the often-repeated idea that modern life is particularly stressful, she will unpick the recent history of stress and its predecessor, ‘nerves’. She suggests that while people have always experienced pressure, tensions and strain, by the end of the millennium stress had become ubiquitous due to changing socio-economic conditions coupled with the pathologisation of many aspects of everyday life. Discussant: Dr Sian Edwards (University of Winchester), Chair: Dr Graciela Iglesias-Rogers (University of Winchester). This event is hosted by our Modern History Research Centre.

DECOLONISING GOSPEL MUSIC PROFESSOR ROBERT BECKFORD (BIRMINGHAM CITY UNIVERSITY AND THE QUEEN’S FOUNDATION, BIRMINGHAM)
FREE
This presentation explores the residue of colonial Christianity in contemporary black British (Caribbean) gospel music in Britain. It proposes a decolonisation of the genre based on a critical reading of former rap gospel artist Jahaziel’s disavowal of Christianity in 2015. As praxis, the paper contours the Jamaican Bible Remix album (2017) as a template for decoloniality in contemporary black British gospel music.

WHO THINKS OF THE POPE WHEN SURRENDURING TO THE PLEASURES OF LOVE? CATHOLICISM AND CONTRACEPTION IN POST-WAR ENGLAND DR DAVID GEIRINGER (QUEEN MARY UNIVERSITY OF LONDON)
On 25 July 1968, Pope Paul VI shook the world. His encyclical letter Humanae Vitae rejected calls to permit use of the contraceptive pill and deemed birth control ‘intrinsically evil’. The Catholic Church is now commonly identified as the antagonist in a story of sixties sexual revolution – a stubborn stone resisting the stream of sex-positive modernity. There has though, been little consideration of how Catholic women themselves experienced this period of cultural upheaval. Drawing on original oral history material, this talk explores the sexual and religious lives of Catholic women in post-war England. It uncovers how spiritual and sexual demands were negotiated at a moment when the two increasingly seemed at odds with one another. The memories of Catholic women provide a fresh perspective on the idea that ‘sex killed God’, reframing dominant approaches to the histories of sex, religion and modernity. Discussant: Dr Sian Edwards (University of Winchester), Chair: Dr Graciela Iglesias-Rogers (University of Winchester). This event is hosted by our Modern History Research Centre.

INAUGURAL LECTURE
SEIZING POWER, KEEPING POWER, AND KICKING UP A FUSS IN EARLY MEDIEVAL ENGLAND AND FRANCE PROFESSOR RYAN LAVELLE
The early middle ages on both sides of the Channel is full of episodes of rebellion and opposition by many parties with an axe to grind, whether disinherited members of ruling families, sidelined aristocrats, or disgruntled peasants. These could lead to states of conflict which the late tenth-century abbot Ælfric of Eynsham characterised as ‘very miserable and endless sorrow’; or could be short-lived episodes of sabre-rattling. In his inaugural lecture, Professor Ryan Lavelle draws from his forthcoming book, Places of Contested Power, to explore where, when and why acts of opposition could be so politically charged, as well as how successful rebels seem to have worked so hard at showing their legitimacy.

THE WEST DOWNS DEVELOPMENT 22
The hoardings and scaffolding around our flagship development at West Downs are coming down, as the construction nears completion. Set to open for teaching in early 2020, it already provides an impressive new gateway into the city and a contemporary addition to Winchester’s civic buildings. Boasting sustainable features including a combined heat and power plant, rainwater harvesting, a green roof and solar photovoltaic panels, the building will be one of the ‘greenest’ in Winchester and is set to achieve the ‘Excellent’ rating of the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM), which is the benchmark standard for the construction of environmentally sustainable buildings in the UK. In addition, the building is among one of the first university projects in the UK to be registered to pursue WELL Certification, an accreditation scheme which recognises buildings that support and advance human health and wellbeing. Our new building features a number of benefits for local people, underlining our commitment to engage with and support our local community. You will be able to enjoy the new cafe, art gallery, zero waste shop, paved public piazza, and auditorium - which will host a range of public events and performances.
