INTERVIEWING VULNERABLE FAMILIES IN THE CONTEXT OF EVALUATING HEALTH LITERACY RESOURCES Dr Amanda Lees (Senior Research Officer, HAWRG) and Dr Kit Tapson (Researcher, Centre for Arts as Wellbeing) evaluated a programme to disseminate health literacy information to parents in Southampton. Unanticipated findings suggested that parents experience heightened anxiety about the wellbeing of their children and about taking part in the interview process as part of data gathering. In this seminar, they will discuss these findings, supported by excerpts from their research. Wednesday 6 December 12.15-1.15pm To book email: Penelope.Bates@winchester.ac.uk
Room 108, West Downs, University of Winchester, Romsey Road, Winchester SO22 5FT
AUGUSTINE AND THE CONTINUING QUEST TO ADDRESS COMPLEXITIES BETWEEN ‘FLESH AND BLOOD’ AND ‘FLESH AND BONES’ It is commonly held that there is a tension between the early and later Augustine’s reflections on the nature of the resurrected body. The mature Augustine noted this potential conflict and attempted to resolve or clarify his views. This session looks to understand and explore the development of thought in Augustine’s expositions, and highlight current discussions which can potentially be traced back to Augustine. This is part of the Theology, Religion and Philosophy Research Seminar series. Wednesday 6 December 4.30-6pm To book email: Neil.Messer@winchester.ac.uk

JUSTICE, INEQUALITY AND GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE: SEEKING JUSTICE THROUGH SHARIA COUNCILS IN THE UK Researchers at the universities of Bristol, UWE and Cardiff are currently working on a 30-month Economic and Social Research Council-funded project to explore how ‘justice’ (in its wider sense) is understood, sought and experienced by victims/ survivors of gender-based violence and by practitioners working to support them. The presentation focuses specifically on the role of Sharia Councils in arbitrating cases of intimate partner violence and presents the findings of interviews with both victims/ survivors who have used this mechanism and with practitioners involved in their leadership and administration as well as women’s rights activists.

REMEMBERING THE VICTORIAN DEAD: WINCHESTER’S WEST HILL CEMETERY Since 2016, the University has been undertaking a project looking at the West Hill Cemetery in Winchester from its opening in 1840. It holds around 22,000 burials, with only a fraction memorialised today. We are currently working on digitising all the records of the burial company, creating a memorial for the military graves (there are around 150 of them, including two VCs) and non-intrusive radar work. The seminar will cover the work done to date, give some details about what lies in the cemetery and highlight future plans. Thursday 7 December 6pm To book email: Xavier.Guegan@winchester.ac.uk

KEEPS YOUR HEAD COOL AND YOUR BELLY WARM: ALCOHOL AND HEALTH IN COLONIAL BRITISH INDIA Using courts martial proceedings, medical reports and other sources drawn from the India Office Archives, this talk will argue that alcohol was a paradoxical substance in the context of colonial British India. Exploring examples from the Indian Civil Service, the Indian Army and the East India Company, the talk will also examine the efforts to strike a balance between supply and restriction of alcohol in a colonial setting, as well as the variable circumstances that resulted in either punishment or treatment for alcohol abuse.

THE ENGLISH: PEOPLE, PLACE AND IDENTITY? Many have argued that the idea of Englishness is bound up with ideas of landscape and countryside that are backward looking, nostalgic and have little relevance to the future. In contrast, Ruth Davis, a leading figure in the green movement, argues that understanding the deep connections between ourselves, where we live and our environment are key to mobilising popular support for sustainability and tackling climate change.

THE LURE OF GREATNESS: ENGLAND’S BREXIT AND AMERICA’S TRUMP Amidst the political turmoil of Brexit and Trump, Anthony Barnett will argue that it is England and the English who are taking Britain out of the EU. What are the causes of this explosive English dissatisfaction? How should we respond, given that the answer the English themselves have embraced with Brexit - of Great Britain alone in the world - is heading for disaster?

ORIGINS OF VACCINATION IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY: NEW PERSPECTIVES Dr Edward Jenner is commonly recognised as the ‘discoverer’ of vaccination, but the true origins of this practice are clouded in myth and misrepresentation. The first verified applications of an empirical vaccine took place in a field in southern England during 1774 by a little known historical figure - a Dorset farmer named Benjamin Jesty - preceding Jenner by 22 years. This presentation seeks to introduce the world’s first vaccinator and addresses questions of validity, awareness and priority. This talk will be given by Patrick Pead, University of Southampton.

ECORRIA: KNOWING AND ENCOUNTERING OURSELVES IN THE REFLECTION OF THE NATURAL WORLD. This University of Winchester Foundation Lecture will be given by Reverend Peter Owen-Jones, Anglican priest, author and TV documentary presenter. We are approaching a time of great change. This is both a time of real peril but also an incredible opportunity to re imagine what it is to be a human being. The old order simply cannot contain the trajectory of the new. At the heart of this is our relationship with that that sustains us are we to honour this reality or modify it? Thursday 8 March 6.30pm To book email: chaplaincy@winchester.ac.uk

POLITICS OF PERFORMANCE STANDARDS IN PUBLIC HEALTH AND EDUCATION IN VICTORIAN ENGLAND The aim of this talk is to examine the fractious and sometimes confused search for standards in two fields of governance: public health and education. Each field possessed peculiar dynamics and tensions: in the case of public health, for instance, standards were formulated statistically as death rates; whereas in education they were presented as a series of national ‘Codes’ and ‘Standards’ detailing pupil attainment and how it should be measured. Equally, there are also interesting analogies in terms of the generation, conception and, above all perhaps, contestation of these standards; and it is these analogies which will form the focus of the talk.

HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE: THE CHALLENGE FACING THE CENTRAL SOUTH One of the greatest challenges facing our public services is meeting the demands placed on health and social services by demographic changes. By 2039 the number of over 65s in central southern England will increase by 56.3%: up from 1.25 million to 1.95m. Over 65s will make up 1 in 4 of the population, up from 1 in 5 today. These changes will exacerbate the financial pressure local councils and the health services already face as the needs of an ageing population take an increasing share of budgets. This talk will explore how we can solve this challenge. Key speakers will include: Lord Geoffrey Filkin – Chair, Centre for Ageing Better Alex Whitfield – Chief Executive, Hampshire Hospitals’ Foundation Trust Graham Allen – Director of Adults’ Health and Care, Hampshire County Council There will be an opportunity for questions and discussion after speakers’ presentations. Our aim is to further debate, help generate a shared understanding of the challenge and begin the discussion on how we can collectively meet it.
