Material Interests Lecture Series

Hear from leading artists and other world-changing practitioners across the fine arts and related industries in this flagship speaker series organised by Winchester School of Art's Department of Art and Media Technology and co-sponsored by Southampton Institute for Arts and Humanities.

Salvaging the Future: Speculative Exercises in World(un)building - with Dr Megen de Bruin-Molé

Venue: Lecture Theatre B, East Building, Winchester School of Art, Park Avenue, Winchester, Hampshire SO23 8DL / Online via Teams

How do we save the world? Can we salvage it instead? This talk considers the concept of ‘salvage’ as utopian and explores how this practice has been implemented in moments of crisis and conflict across contemporary architecture, conservation, and speculative fiction and practice.  

(Un)building on previous work linking salvage-Marxism and the fictions of Rivers Solomon (de Bruin-Molé 2021), and engaging closely with critical perspectives on salvage and unbuilding (cf Tsing 2015; DeSilvey 2017; Halberstam 2018; Claus 2020; Phillips 2021), this talk considers the concept of ‘salvage’ as utopian and explores how this practice has been implemented in moments of crisis and conflict across contemporary architecture, conservation, and speculative fiction and practice. 

Salvage offers up alternative frameworks for imagining utopias – and utopian practice – that are not defined by hope, futurity, or universalism.

This talk presents the work conducted during Megen de Bruin-Molé's sabbatical period in Spring 2024.

In partnership with ArtfulScribe, join poet Ella Frears to celebrate the release of her new publication, Goodlord: An Email.

Taking the form of one long email addressed to an estate agent, Goodlord is a fictional memoir of habitation, a genre-defying novelistic text that beautifully evokes the people and places of our lives—the spaces of work, those that may or may not be ‘home’, sites of trauma and ecstasy.

“Goodlord zips along, blackly compelling and readable.” – Holly Williams, The Guardian

Direct Address: Poetry Workshop
Join Ella for a fun and low pressure poetry workshop thinking about modes of communication.

Who are we addressing when we write? How can shifting the tone of that writing disrupt or enrich that writing?

You’ll experiment with writing in various forms of address – from love letters to emails, from formal complaints to grocery lists, from proclamations to DMs, and everything in between.

No writing experience necessary, ages 18+ only.

Workshop: 2–4pm
Reading and Q&A: 6–7pm

£10 per ticket (Tickets can be purchased for the Reading or Workshop, or both)

Join us for the 2024 Inter Faith Lecture, ‘Hummus and Gefilte Fish: Misrecognition and Divergence in Jewish-Palestinian Peace Initiatives.’

This talk considers why religious Jews and Muslims in Israel/Palestine have broadly avoided the mainstream liberal peace camp. It also discusses what religious Jewish groups do differently when they organize their own peace initiatives. This distinction is revealing and speaks to divergent understandings of what peace looks like and how to get there.

About the Speaker

Erica Weiss is a Professor of Anthropology at Tel Aviv University. Her research focuses on political anthropology, liberalism and its discontents, and living with difference. She has spent a decade conducting research with religious peace initiatives in Israel/Palestine. In particular she is interested in how the understanding of peace and coexistence of these initiatives differ from that of the secular Israeli peace camp. She is conducting an ERC funded project entitled The Praxis of Coexistence which takes an inductive and comparative approach to the challenges of living with ethnic and religious difference.

His book “Let’s Talk: How to Have Better Conversations” (published 2022) blends his experiences as an acclaimed interviewer with expert opinion on the secrets behind successful communication.⁠

Nihal has built a platform of 1.2 million listeners a week on BBC Radio 5 Live who regard him as one of the best people of his generation at having public conversations. Guests from the world’s biggest stars to leaders of inner-city gangs have lauded his seemingly innate ability to stimulate positive discussions without the need for confrontation.⁠

Nihal will speak about how he developed his skills, what it exactly means to have a ‘great conversation’ and how to. This will be followed by a discussion with Pascal Matthias, Vice President of Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Social Justice at University of Southampton and audience Q&A. This event is part of Pascal Matthias’ Conflict, Communication and Compassion Conversations series of discussions with leading voices.⁠

Presented by John Hansard Gallery in partnership with MAST Mayflower Studios, this event has been made possible through support from the University of Southampton's Knowledge Exchange and Enterprise.⁠

Wandering Jew exhibition launch (18:00)

Additional Place Info: Lecture Theatre B Corridor, Avenue Campus

The Parkes Institute is delighted to host the launch of 'The Wandering Jew’ travelling exhibition, curated by Anoushka Alexander-Rose, with the support of Charlie Knight. Reframing the Wandering Jew from its origins in medieval Christian myth, this exhibition presents how the legend evolves across time and cultures. It draws on an expansive set of sources including Romantic and Gothic literature, Yiddish drama, Jewish visual art, Rabbinic sermons, Nazi and anti-Nazi film, and 21st century regenderings of the myth. A particular highlight is a specially commissioned print, ‘Flight’, by artist and sculptor David Hochhauser. These diverse forms and genres reflect the relevance of the Wandering Jew, both representing Jewish exilic experience but more widely universal themes of myth, migration and memory.

Come along to the Southampton launch of this exhibition before, much like the Wandering Jew, it travels across the UK. The curator will introduce the project and give a reading of the first translation of ‘Agasfer’ by Vladimir Nabokov, after which attendees are invited to explore the exhibition along with refreshments.

We are particularly grateful to the German History Society and Jewish Historical Society of England for their generous financial support, to Lisa Lampert-Weissig and the research of her latest monograph, Instrument of Memory: Encounters with the Wandering Jew (University of Michigan Press, 2024), and for insights and contributions from the wider Parkes Institute academic community (in particular Charlie Knight for visuals, and also Noëmie Duhaut, Neil Gregor, Tony Kushner, Claire Le Foll, and Katie Power).

This interactive discussion will explore whether evaluation serves as a carrot, incentivising innovation, and excellence, or as a stick, enforcing standards and accountability across the Triple Helix and wider regulatory or sector requirements. We will navigate the messy practice of evaluation, examining its multifaceted purposes and impacts on our own professional practice. We will collectively reimagine evaluation practices that not only measure, but enhance, the quality and impact of higher education’s broader missions.

Share your experiences of evaluation, either as an evaluator or a participant of an evaluation project. Don’t miss this opportunity to contribute to a meaningful dialogue and shape the future of evaluation practice within the University of Southampton.

Material Interests Lecture Series

Hear from leading artists and other world-changing practitioners across the fine arts and related industries in this flagship speaker series organised by Winchester School of Art's Department of Art and Media Technology.

The Last Resort. Exoticism, Extraction and Extinction with Dr Yaiza Hernández Velázquez

Venue: Lecture Theatre B, East Building, Winchester School of Art, Park Avenue, Winchester, Hampshire SO23 8DL / Online via Teams

Tourism emerged as an industry just as decolonisation was getting underway, bringing promises of rapid “development” for the host economies. However, for many who live under its hold, tourism has become just another extractive mechanism, one for which the construction of images of desire remains a central feature.    

The visual cultures of tourism have remained strikingly consistent for over a century, perpetuating colonial imaginaries that speak of exoticism, exuberant wealth and sexual availability. Despite its incompatibility with the health of the planet and the almost complete suspension that the Covid-19 imposed on its operations, tourism has quickly recovered to continue apace as one of the world’s fastest-growing industries.  

Despite persistent claims about “sustainable tourism” the industry voraciously consumes natural resources, common heritage, infrastructures and territory. Moreover, as Matilde Córdoba Azcárate has pointed out, tourism is “sticky”, hard to leave behind. With a terraforming capacity unmatched by any other industry, and an ability to imbricate itself into all aspects of life, it seems to foreclose the possibility of any alternative futures. 

As protests emerge around the world asking tourists to stay away and traditional tourist destinations suffer the blunt force of climate change, there is a new urgency to rethinking our profound attachment to tourism. Dismantling the imaginaries that have come to stand for an elusive “good life” to be found on someone else’s land will only be a first step.

Join us for the annual Howard Rein Lecture, a memorial to a much loved Parkes Institute alumnus, Dr Howard Rein. This year we welcome Dr Ben Kasstan-Dabush to deliver this lecture.

Charedi Jewish families have been in the news for a number of disputes around healthcare, including childhood immunisation uptake and refusal to teach statutory relationships and sex education. This talk draws on fieldwork conducted in Jerusalem, New York and London to un-pick these narratives and show how relationships and ideas of religious freedom are shaped by place.

About the Speaker

Dr Ben Kasstan-Dabush is a medical anthropologist in the Department of Global Health & Development at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. His research interrogates ideas of health protection, what it means and according to whom. Over the past decade my research has explored social and religious engagement with childhood vaccinations, and sexual and reproductive health. His research has been published in discipline leading journals, including Social Science & Medicine, Medical Anthropology Quarterly, Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, and Vaccine.

Since 2019, Dr Kasstan-Dabush has served as an Associate Editor at Anthropology & Medicine Journal. He is a committed to translating social science research to develop informed policy. His research on vaccination has been cited in WHO COVID-19 vaccine implementation guidance; His research has been submitted research evidence to parliamentary inquiries and have been acknowledged in a range of parliamentary reports (most recently APPG Vaccinations for All); He has been commissioned to provide expert reviews of vaccination policy outputs by the UK Parliamentary Office of Science & Technology; and my research has been featured by GAVI – The Vaccine Alliance (Vaccine Works). Finally, he has experience of informing decision-making at multiple levels of health governance, from UKHSA to CDC, and his expertise has been sought after to shape national and global agendas on vaccine and health inequalities.

Data Visualisation with R

Additional Place Info: Online

Data visualisation is one of the most important steps in any analysis journey.

Visualisations allow us to explore our data, identify errors and outliers, generate hypotheses about possible relationships between variables, and communicate results clearly and efficiently.

ggplot2 is a powerful R package that was designed to create publication-quality graphics in seconds. The joy of ggplot2 is its flexibility: graphs are built in layers which can be easily customised, ensuring novel plots to fit almost any situation.

This online course will introduce the ggplot2 package and its underlying grammar of graphics.

Participants will understand how to choose the most appropriate type of visualisation, based on the type and number of variables, and the intention of the plot. We will then build visualisations, layer by customisable layer, to transform simple plots into beautiful, informative graphics.

This course is run by the National Centre for Research Methods, which is based in the Faculty of Social Sciences.

2024-11-27T12:00:00Z2024-11-27T13:30:00Z
Additional Place Info: MS Teams

This session reworks a workshop that Josh and I delivered in the autumn of 2023. However, this year we have the benefit of an extra year of research into the process, and a more comprehensive set of results as the result of a CHEP Enhancement Funding award.

Peer review is an efficient and highly effective pedagogic mode for teaching writing in an HE context. It produces multiple positive outcomes for students, including improved engagement with formal feedback, the use of high-level cognitive skills, increased levels of independent learning, as well as enhanced writing and editing skills.

This session, run by Dr Alison Daniell, the University’s Post-entry Academic Skills Officer and Dr Josh Robertson from FEPS, will discuss a pilot peer review project run during the 2022/23 and 2023/24 academic years with Engineering Foundation Year students - and which benefitted from a CHEP Enhancement Fund award.

It will explain the approaches taken, discuss the results and share teaching resources that were developed for the project. There will be an interactive element to the presentation where we demonstrate how our model works, as well as the opportunity to ask questions.

Before the workshop, please think about an aspect of your module's formative assessment that you would like your students to practise using peer feedback.

Learning Outcomes:
By the end of the session, participants will be able to:
1. Understand what is meant by the term 'peer feedback' and its benefits for students and staff alike.
2. Recognise what constitutes high-quality peer feedback and how to teach this to students.
3. Discover how Blackboard can be used to run peer-review feedback sessions digitally and anonymously.
4. Create a sample rubric that addresses an aspect of written work their students find difficult.
5. Know where to go to find further resources, support and information

Time as contested infrastructure

With Dr Tsvetelina Hristova and Dr Adam Procter

Venue: Lecture Theatre B, East Building, Winchester School of Art, Park Avenue, Winchester, Hampshire SO23 8DL / Online via Teams

Thinking about time as infrastructure, I look at time protocols and standards in automated environments, their relationship to past practices of time management and labour management and their role in instituting new practices of technological subjectivation.

A key question that arises from these practices is the political significance and potential of layered and hierarchirised temporalities and the production of slowness.

Join us for a talk from Emeritus Professor Gennady Estraikh.

The period between Stalin’s death and the Six-Day War played a secondary role in Soviet Jewish studies. The years of Khrushchev’s “Thaw” seemed uneventful compared with the prior repressive campaigns (the “Doctors’ Plot,” anti-“cosmopolitanism,” and liquidation of the Yiddish cultural milieu) by the end of Stalin’s rule and the later emigration drive. In reality, the fourteen years saw many important developments in Soviet Jewish life. Thus, thousands of surviving gulag inmates could return to their families, former Polish citizens had a chance to repatriate, and the authorities sponsored some revival of Jewish culture. Meanwhile, the present and future of Soviet Jews appeared on the agenda of international politics.

About the Speaker

Gennady Estraikh was born in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, he later lived in Moscow, where he turned to writing in Yiddish and worked as Managing Editor of the Yiddish literary journal Sovetish Heymland (Soviet Homeland) from 1988 to 1991. In 1991-2002, he lived in England, where he worked at the Oxford-based Institute of Yiddish Studies and the London University’s School of Oriental and African Studies. In 1996, he received his doctorate from the University of Oxford. His fields of expertise are Jewish intellectual history, Yiddish language and literature, and Soviet Jewish history. His publications include Intensive Yiddish (Oxford, 1996), Soviet Yiddish: Language Planning and Linguistic Development (Oxford, 1999), In Harness: Yiddish Writers’ Romance with Communism (Syracuse University Press, 2005), Yiddish in the Cold War (Oxford: Legenda, 2008), Yiddish Literary Life in Moscow, 1917-1991 (St. Petersburg: European University Press, 2016, in Russian), Yiddish Culture in Ukraine (Kyiv: Dukh i Litera, 2016, in Ukrainian), Transatlantic Russian Jewishness: Ideological Voyages of the Yiddish Daily Forverts in the First Half of the Twentieth Century (Boston, 2020), fifteen co-edited scholarly volumes, and several books in Yiddish.

Four Qualitative Methods for Understanding Diverse Lives (for academics)

Additional Place Info: Online

In this one-day online training workshop you will be introduced to four qualitative research methods to better understand diverse lives – Photo Go-Alongs, Collage, Life History Interviews and Participant Packs.

When researching social groups, researchers may focus on categories such as age, gender, sexuality and so on. These categories can turn catch-all terms into catch-all agendas.

Treating groups of people with one shared characteristic as homogenous risks a cookie-cutter approach which overlooks diverse lives and needs. Given the complexity of what it means to be a person, a one-size fits all approach to engagement cannot suffice.

The methods introduced in this training workshop are beneficial in exploring diverse lives and can be used when researching with any group.
