THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL | 5 SEPTEMBER 2016 BIRD IN A BIPLANE Monday 5 September 2016, 4–5pm Venue: Allam Lecture Theatre, Esk Building, Hull University Business School Enquiries: Professor Stephanie Haywood, School of Engineering & Computer Science, email s.k.haywood@ hull.ac.uk or 01482 466937 Tracey Curtis-Taylor. Tracey will tell the story of her expeditions in her 1942 bi-plane Spirit of Artemis over the past four years. Interwoven within the incredible adventure of journeys which have taken SEPTEMBER 2016 her through some of the most beautiful and challenging parts of the planet, is the history of pioneering aviation from the Golden Age of aviation during the inter-war period. Tracey Curtis-Taylor is an aviator, adventurer and inspirational speaker who honours the pioneering days of aviation in the 1920s and 1930s. Thirty years of flying classic planes led her to fly a restored 1942 Boeing Stearman 10,000 miles from Cape Town to Goodwood in 2013 to commemorate the achievement of Lady Mary Heath who, in 1928, was the first person to fly the route solo. She then decided to pay homage to the life of Amy Johnson by retracing her 1930 flight from Great Britain to Australia. SHAKESPEAREAN TRANSFORMATIONS: DEATH, LIFE, AND AFTERLIVES Tracey departed from Farnborough in October 2015 and arrived in Sydney three months later after flying 14,600 miles through 23 countries. 2016 saw Tracey retrace the historic air mail routes across the USA from Seattle to Boston to celebrate the Centenary of Boeing but was cut short following a crash in Arizona – she hopes to complete the flight in 2017. The 7th British Shakespeare Association Conference Thursday 8 – Sunday 11 September 2016, various times Tracey wants her flights to inspire young women around the world to follow their dreams, never give up and break boundaries, and ultimately enhance the role of women in aviation and engineering.

Amid all the commemoration of the death centenary, one aspect has been mostly overlooked: the long tradition of illustrated editions of Shakespeare’s plays. What do they contribute to the reader’s experience of the action, language and ideas of the text? How do they interact with the plays in performance? How does their placement within the printed text define and extend their values? At a broader level, what is their relation to the larger frames in which they exist – the styles of the individual artist, the larger traditions of visual art, and the critical approaches to the text that are prevalent at their time of production? These are some of the questions with which the lecture will engage, in the attempt to offer some ways of showing the unique manner in which illustrated editions have constructed the plays for several generations of readers. The British Shakespeare Association Conference is an international conference and has attracted delegates from around the world. We are proud to be holding the 7th conference at Hull, which will mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death. 6 | THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL | 7 SEPTEMBER 2016 The Distinguished Drama Lecture: NORTHERN VOICES: PERFORMING CLASSICAL WORK IN NON-VELVET SPACES Sunday 11 September 2016, 2 pm Donald Roy Theatre Enquiries: Christian Billing, [email protected] or 01482 465972 Barrie Rutter, OBE (Founder and Artistic Director of Northern Broadsides).

A, Mozart: String Quartet in B flat K458 ‘The Hunt’ Tom Green: Drunken Stanzas from The World’s Wife This programme features two new works that are responses to the poetry of Carol Ann Duffy. The World’s Wife Interludes is derived from a chamber opera exploring Duffy’s 1999 collection of poems The World’s Wife, which retells some well-known stories from the perspective of the women previously hidden behind the men – Mrs Midas, Mrs Darwin, Medusa, the Devil’s Wife, the Kray Sisters. The Turning Room embarks on a similar retelling but instead focuses on notions of distance, space, angle and movement as invoked by Duffy’s poem Words, Wide Night. The evocative imagery of the poem is recast in sound for string quartet by drawing upon influences such as Feldman, Björk and Reich (amongst others). Both works celebrate the remaking of something (a poem, an image, a musical idea in someone else’s work) by assimilating those oncecontemporary resonances into pieces of new music, made of their time. 11 am – 1 pm: Composition workshop with the Mavron String Quartet and Tom Green. Observers welcome.

Come and discover where the brilliant mind of Hull’s favourite theological historian heads off to when its reins are let loose. “ Appleton Public Lecture: THE FUTURE OF PLACE Wednesday 12 October 2016, 6.30 pm Lindsey Suite, Staff House, Hull Campus Cost: free Enquiries: Professor David Gibbs, School of Environmental Sciences, University of Hull, [email protected], 01482 465330 Professor Hayden Lorimer, University of Glasgow. Place is a key concept in geography’s modern vocabulary. How it is that places get made, are valued and afforded meaning, or become keenly contested are staple disciplinary questions. For learning geographers, skills of place interpretation are a scholastic benchmark and fieldwork standard. Yet, even with canonical status assured, place remains an enigmatic formation. As much an ontological predicament as it is ever an analytical achievement, the status of place varies: somewhere between passivity and agency, force and medium, bounded and dispersed. In this Appleton public lecture, I will present a case for the renewal of a tradition of place-writing. I do so not to advance a specific theoretical perspective on place. Rather, it is an effort to show how the careful fusion of site, subject and style can speak a language of locality and, simultaneously, reset the wider representational project by which geographers understand proprietary feelings about place, its fate and possible rehabilitation. The muse chosen for this meditation on the prospects for place studies is a site reserved for burying the remains of the past: a seaside pet cemetery. In this unlikely site (and amidst its massed stories of loss, love and longing) I will show how it is possible to identify resources by which to navigate a course between regressive and progressive kinds of localism, and to chart a future for place. Hayden Lorimer is Professor of Cultural Geography in the School of Geographical and Earth Sciences at the University of Glasgow. His research explores different geographies of nature, landscape, biography, memory, art, science, fieldwork, and the life of the senses. Along with academic essays and articles recently appearing in GeoHumanities, Cultural Geographies and Performance Research, his writing has featured in The Guardian and been broadcast on BBC Radio. (One of the) few seriously funny books that remain great for all time.

By most estimates, Hull was the second most blitzed British city of the war, with around 1,200 people killed and many more left homeless. This devastation led the British Government to fear that Hull was approaching ‘civilian OCTOBER 2016 collapse’, and a scientific survey was launched to identify the point at which civilian morale would break. Clear evidence of trauma was found, but civilian collapse was discounted and the city was left to carry on beneath the bombs. Yet the findings of the Hull survey had significant repercussions. The Hull data informed subsequent British bombing strategy in Germany, and, closer to home, the city council commissioned the ‘Abercrombie plan’ to re-build the city using modern, rational, utopian planning to restore the city’s pride, rebuild its communities, and help to generate better lives for postwar generations. This presentation will connect these events and embed Hull’s wartime experience, and various responses, within these broader historical and geographical frames.

LET ME TELL YOU A STORY Newland Lecture Series: LUTOSLAWSKI, TRAUMA STUDIES, AND BEYOND Tuesday 18 October 2016, 5 pm Larkin Building, L201 Enquiries: Dr Alexander Binns, [email protected] Dr Nicholas Reyland, Keele University. Trauma studies is at an interesting stage of its adaptation by musicology at the moment, and Witold Lutoslawski – one of the 20thcentury’s great composers – looks like a perfect case study. Lutoslawski experienced many traumatic events and much loss. He also stated, 18 | THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL repeatedly, that the four decades of music for which he became famous after his turn to modernism in the 1950s was unrelated to his earlier life experiences. Yet that music is full of passages redolent of violence, lament, anger and, potentially, trauma. On the other hand, Lutoslawski was a happy man. His music seems traumatised; Lutoslawski did not. How can that be? Drawing on recent developments in theories of post-traumatic growth, grief resilience and emotional regulation, this paper will move between discussion of Lutoslawski’s life, works, and issues of much wider relevance to the study of culture and thought about trauma and grief. Free entrance – all welcome. Pull up a chair. Are you sitting comfortably? Then let four leading writers spin you a tale. As nights close in, Louise Beech, Russ Litten, Ray French and Kath McKay draw you into their storytelling worlds.

This talk will explore the formative influence of Hull on three local writers who portrayed the city in their work. The Hull poet and MP Andrew Marvell is today recognized as one of the most important poets of the 17th century, but Marvell’s poetry is also important for what it can tell us about the town Marvell grew up in and later represented in parliament. Marvell’s poetry registers the major role that his boyhood home, the Hull Charterhouse, played in the First English Civil War, while other Hull landmarks – the Old Grammar School and Holy Trinity Church – influenced the poet’s later writing on religious freedom. 28 NOVEMBER 2016 The death of his father by drowning in the River Humber adds another personal dimension to one of Marvell’s best-know poems, ‘To His Coy Mistress’. Deeply affected by the depression years, Winifred Holtby’s Hull (Kingsport) is a place where the precariousness and hardship of life is balanced by its fleeting and necessary pleasures. The city’s distinguished theatres, glamorous cinemas and magical street names stand in stark contrast to its slums; providing leisure and escape for its ‘characterful’ inhabitants and combining with its railway and eastward facing river to open up a landlocked city to influences from London, Europe and beyond. Stevie Smith who left the city at the age of three recalls, nevertheless, ‘the smell of the lovely Humber mud in my nose’ and ‘the water moving with dignity’. ‘Hull has a character and you will find it’ wrote Winifred Holtby to her friend Phyllis Bentley, who was preparing to lecture there in 1930. We will try and reveal the character of the city as it shaped itself to three of its most distinctive writers. | THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL EVENTS MIDDLETON MOVIE MONDAYS PRESENTS: GHOSTBUSTERS (Feig, USA, 2016) Monday 31 October 2016, 7.30 pm Middleton Hall Cost: £7 adults and senior citizens / £5 students and other concessions Enquiries: FACE-events@hull. ac.uk or 01482 465998 This year’s summer blockbuster, from the director and stars of Bridesmaids, which reimagines the 1980s franchise with a female cast.

PLAYING TOGETHER FOR FUN: TAKING MUSICAL INTERACTION SERIOUSLY Tuesday 1 November 2016, 5 pm L201 Larkin Enquiries: Alexander Binns, [email protected] Dr Nikki Moran, University of Edinburgh. Music exists as a social phenomenon: we can and we do enact meaningful musical encounters with other people. And yet we also engage with musical forms more privately, in our imagination. In this research seminar, I will examine the idea of joint performance – including North Indian classical music, as well as jazz and free improvisation – as playful interaction. I do this in order to explore the experience of immediacy and responsiveness in the lived musical encounter, which – whether conducted as an acted-out event or an imaginary one – bears witness to our fundamental interdependence on other people in the world. I will talk about past and current approaches to the study of social interaction in music performance, and describe the methods and findings of some of my own research with improvising musician duos.

In 1916, the British Red Cross (BRC) faced several crises. A third of Voluntary Aid Detachment members were male and the Military Service Acts meant that many of these men were conscripted, leading to a recruitment drive for more female members. Yet other organisations were also competing for female volunteers. Within months of these Acts, the first day of the Battle of the Somme on 1 July 1916 led to nearly 20,000 deaths amongst British soldiers, and a further 40,000 wounded. The offensive continued until November, resulting in 420,000 Commonwealth casualties. One of the casualties from the Somme was J.R.R. Tolkien. He who suffered from trench fever from autumn 1916, a relapsing disease which led to him being admitted to the Red Cross’ Brooklands Officers Hospital in 1917, in the building which is now the Dennison Centre at the University of Hull. In addition to transporting and caring for those who survived the battle, BRC members had the responsibility of searching for the many missing and wounded in hospitals at home and abroad.

Enquiries: [email protected], 01482 466585, www.hull.ac.uk/opencampus Professor John Oldfield. This talk will look at Hull’s contribution to the campaigns against slavery and the slave trade (1787-1833), focussing on both individual and collective efforts to bring slavery to an end. A key figure here was William Wilberforce, who as MP for Hull and later Yorkshire was the chief parliamentary spokesman for ‘abolition’. Wilberforce was a truly global figure, and a key part of this talk will discuss his reception overseas, particularly in the United States, where he was highly regarded by both black and white abolitionists. Wilberforce also played a part in the creation of Sierra Leone, which was intended to provide an alternative to the slave trade in the shape of legitimate commerce with Africa. Wilberforce was a towering figure but this talk will also pay attention to those local individuals and societies that lent him and the national anti-slavery movement such vital support. 46 | THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL | 47 NOVEMBER 2016 Newland Lecture Series: TOWARDS A HISTORY OF POP MUSIC IN THE MODERN HOME Tuesday 29 November 2016, 5 pm L201, Larkin Building Enquiries: Alex Binns, [email protected] Dr Tom Perchard, Goldsmiths, University of London.

It is his hope that this work will open pop history up to emphasise kinds of participation often underemphasised in heroic historical narratives – especially that of women and children – and set now-highlighted genres and moments (rock and roll, rock, punk) in the much flatter, wider pop contexts amid which they appeared. 48 | THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL | 49 DECEMBER 2016 DECEMBER 2016 CAROL SERVICE MIDDLETON MOVIE MONDAYS: SPARTACUS Sunday 4 December 2016, 4.30 pm Holy Trinity Church, Market Place, Hull, HU1 1RR Enquiries: Lesley Dye, l.dye@ hull.ac.uk or 01482 465845 Join the University of Hull Chapel Choir for the University's annual Carol Service.

THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL | 51 DECEMBER 2016 SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW: COMPLETIONS OF SCHUBERT’S UNFINISHED CHAMBER WORKS AND MONTAGUE’S A DINNER PARTY FOR JOHN CAGE Thursday 8 December 2016, 7.30 pm Middleton Hall Cost: £6 adults and senior citizens / £3 students and other concessions Enquiries: FACE-events@hull. ac.uk or 01482 465998 DECEMBER 2016 University of Hull Camerata: Dr Elaine King Ensemble Fractus: Dr Mark Slater A unique concert experience fusing different musical styles and showcasing the staff-led University of Hull Camerata and Ensemble Fractus. The first half includes the completion of several of Franz’s Schubert’s formerly unfinished chamber works, made by internationallyrenowned Schubert scholar Professor Brian Newbould.

Stephen Montague created A Dinner Party for John Cage in 2012, as part of the Musicircus, which he directed at ENO to mark Cage’s 100th anniversary. Montague’s interest in and close relationship with Cage, in particular Cage’s philosophy and aesthetics, and sense of humour, is evident in this work, which, like Cage’s iconic and iconoclastic 4’33”, challenges traditional notions of what constitutes ‘music’.

Culture Cafe HULL’S POLITICAL HERITAGE: THE FIGHT FOR PARLIAMENTARY REPRESENTATION FROM 1906 TO 2016 Saturday 10 December 2016, 11 am – 1 pm Wilberforce Lecture Theatre 2 Enquiries: [email protected], www.hull.ac.uk/ opencampus or 01482 466585 Professor Philip Norton, the Lord Norton of Louth. This talk examines changes in the parliamentary landscape of Hull since the early 20th Century, identifying the extent to which the outcome of elections in Hull have reflected shifts in British politics. Hull was characterised in the early 20th Century by the clash between Conservatives and Liberals, shaped in no small part by religion, and then by the greater influence of economics and the displacement of the Liberal Party by the Labour Party as the principal opposition party. Hull was a battleground between the Liberals and the Conservatives until the 1920s, when the conflict became one between Labour and the Conservatives. Liberal MP for Hull Central, J. M. Kenworthy, switched from the Liberals to Labour in 1926 and Labour took three of the four Hull seats in 1929, only for the Conservatives to achieve a clean sweep in 1931. Labour re-took two seats in 1935, but the Conservatives held one or more seats until another Labour clean sweep in the 1945 general election. The Conservatives held Hull North from 1951 to 1964, but thereafter the outcome of elections has reinforced the growing urban-rural divide, urban areas becoming more Labour and rural areas more Conservative. The talk also examines those who have represented Hull in Parliament, ranging from Conservative Sir Mark Sykes (of the Sykes-Picot line) to Liberal Thomas Ferens (founder of Hull University and Ferens Art Gallery) and Labour cabinet ministers John Prescott and Alan Johnson. 52 | THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL | 53 DECEMBER 2016 DECEMBER 2016 Inaugural lecture: BUILDING A UNIVERSE INSIDE A SUPERCOMPUTER Monday 12 December 2016, 6 pm Lindsey Suite, Staff House Enquiries: Lesley Dye, l.dye@ hull.ac.uk or 01482 465845 Professor Brad Gibson is the Director of the E.A. Milne Centre for Astrophysics at the University of Hull. The history of galaxy simulations is dotted with remarkable successes, tempered by frustrating impasses, including an inability to recover anything remotely similar to the Milky Way in which we live. Recent advances suggest that we might have finally made a breakthrough, making use of powerful supercomputers and novel approaches to feeding energy into the forming galaxies. Shaping these efforts are the critical constraints provided by 'chemical fingerprints' encoded within the Milky Way's stars and gas. I will demonstrate how we 'mine the fossil record' of simulated galaxies, comparing and contrasting the results with observational 'Galactic Archeological' experiments; 54 | THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL finally, I will demonstrate the remarkable ways in which such simulations have impacted upon society and our daily lives. Brad completed his MSc and PhD at the University of British Columbia, building the world's first Liquid Mirror Telescope Observatory and designing software to map the distribution of the chemical elements throughout the Universe. Brad was responsible for using exploding stars to determine the expansion rate of the Universe, as part of the Hubble Space Telescope Key Project on the Extragalactic Distance Scale, for which the team was awarded the 2009 Gruber Prize in Cosmology. WIth his PhD students, Brad also discovered the first evidence that our own Milky Way's nearest neighbours were being cannibalised by our Galaxy, being ripped apart by intense tidal forces. Brad's work has been acknowledged by his peers nearly 20,000 times, making him Hull's most cited academic, and one of the top few percent in the world. His 300 papers to date also include the identification of the locations within the Milky Way most likely to harbour complex biological life, for which his work was named by National Geographic magazine as one of the top 10 news stories of the year. His recent work has been in trying to link his expertise in galactic chemical evolution, with complex cosmological hydrodynamical schemes, in order to model the time evolution of the chemical and dynamical properties of the Milky Way.
