Yesterday the Life by the River Team welcomed over 130 guests to their Festival of Learning Event at the Kingfisher Barn next to the River Stour near Throop. The event was development by Holly Crossen-White and Angela Turner-Wilson from the Public Health Cluster in partnership with Tom Clarke from the RSPB and staff from Bournemouth Borough Council Parks. The aim of the event was to encourage the public to consider the health and wellbeing benefits that can be gained by spending time enjoying the natural environment. Of those who completed an evaluation form 63 % of visitors had never been to this stretch of the River Stour before and all said they planned to return. The Team received lots of positive feedback about the event with visitors saying ‘there was a brilliant atmosphere’ , ‘really relaxing’ and ‘lots of fun for everyone’.

The Sun IS going to shine……
….so why not spend this Sunday enjoying
Life by the River
Members of the Public Health Cluster have been working in partnership with Tom Clarke from the RSPB over the last two years to to promote to the public the many health and wellbeing benefits there are from spending time outside enjoying the natural environment. The Team has also been working with Bournemouth Borough Council, Parks staff and supporting the development of a project based on a stretch of the River Stour. Heritage Lottery funding had enabled the creation of the Kingfisher Barn, a new visitor’s centre alongside the River Stour, near Throop. To showcase the work the project team Holly and Angela (BU), Tom (RSPB) and Bournemouth Parks staff have developed a Festival of Learning Event at the Kingfisher Barn with lots of outdoor activities for visitors of all ages. There will be an opportunity to discover how previous generations have lived their life by the river and there will be some lovely family photos showing how life was that have been generously provided by local families who have also shared their memories and helped Holly bring together the exhibition. There will be some messy things to do too so maybe pack some wellies if you would like to help create a cobb structure with Heidi a local artist who has been working with the Team. The event is this Sunday – 26th June at the Kingfisher Barn between 11am and 3pm. 
FoL debate pregnancy & alcohol
We are preparing a lively debate on the motion: “Advising pregnant women to avoid drinking alcohol during pregnancy is symptom of the Nanny State and another step towards the medicalisation of childbirth”. The venue for this event is the Executive Business School on 89, Holdenhurst Road. Members of the public, staff and students are invited to come along on Tuesday 28th June 13.30-14.30!
The UK Government state there is no known safe level for drinking alcohol in pregnancy. Therefore, it recently changed the official recommendation to pregnant women avoid drinking any alcohol as a precaution. In doing so the UK follows countries like Canada, where a similar recommendation has been in place for over a decade. At the same time one can ask whether such approach undermines a woman’s right to make an informed choice regarding the health of her unborn child. Some would argue that is represents yet another step towards the medicalisation of childbirth.
Faculty of Health & Social Sciences’ staff Liz Norton and Edwin van Teijlingen affiliated with the Centre for Midwifery, Maternal & Perinatal Health and will argue in favour of the motion. Donna Wixted, Joint Bournemouth University (BU)-Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust, doctoral student and Greta Westwood of Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust & the University of Southampton will argue against the motion.
The audience will be asked to vote for or against the motion, both before and after the debate, to see if the debate has helped anybody in making up their mind. Our debate will be chaired by Prof. Vanora Hundley from the Faculty of Health & Social Sciences. In previous Festival of Learning events she has been involved in various debates around childbirth, such as The media is responsible for creating fear in childbirth and the year before that on Caesarean Section on demand under the title Intervention in childbirth: What’s wrong with letting women choose?
The debate is part of BU’s annual Festival of Learning which this year for the first time has satellite events in China and Malaysia.
If you are interested to come along please book your free ticket here! The Executive Business School is easy to find on 89, Holdenhurst Road near Bournemouth Railway Station.

Festival of Learning: Working Together for Widening Participation
27th June 2016 14:00-16:00
Talbot Campus
In the week that sees the publication of the White Paper and the Queen’s speech, issues of widening participation and education equity seem even more topical than ever.
BU’s programme of Fair Access Research seeks to create a culture of widening participation through working and learning together.
As part of BU’s Festival of Learning, our Fair Access Researchers will be facilitating a workshop exploring educational disadvantage in the region.
Bournemouth, Poole and surrounding region face significant challenges when it comes to supporting those most in need to access and succeed in education. These challenges are being tackled by dedicated experts working hard to support disadvantaged learners to engage in a variety of education settings.
The event will be held on Monday 27 June 2016 between 14:00-16:00 in the new FUSION BUILDING, TALBOT CAMPUS.
We are inviting experts working in the field of education and equality to come together and share experiences and skills to find sustainable solutions to the region’s major education challenges.
We want grassroots solutions to grassroots challenges facing the region. This approach will enable targeted and tailored responses that work with the unique challenges of education and social justice in a diverse rural and coastal region.
In this innovative two-hour workshop, we will work together to find sustainable solutions to the question:
“What are the challenges and opportunities for disadvantaged students to access education in the region?”
This workshop is about active participation by all those involved and collectively developing grassroots solutions. By taking part, you will be helping to build a community to turn challenges and barriers into opportunities and bridges.
We want you to be involved and to shape how our responses! So, please share with your colleagues and networks so that we can have a broad range of participants. We are particularly interested in learning from the expertise and experiences of:
- Pupil premium leads
- Further education practitioners
- Youth workers
- Community educators and activists
- Special Education Co-ordinators
It is through working together and learning with each other that we can help make regional education opportunities more accessible and more sustainable.

BU Trauma and Journalism panel at The Freud Museum, Friday, 27 May, 6.30-8pm, Tickets still available!
‘Trauma and Journalism’
A Panel Discussion on the Role of Trauma
in the Life and Work of Journalists
Venue: The Freud Museum, Maresfield Gardens, London, NW3 5SX
Friday 27 May, 6.30-8pm
Followed by drinks reception, 8-9pm
Tickets:
https://www.freud.org.uk/events/76447/trauma-and-journalism/
This panel event provides insight into the world of journalism and trauma and the role that trauma plays in the life of the journalist, who may encounter highly charged emotional events and distressing images on a regular basis. What coping mechanisms are used when a journalist is confronted with such experiences? What are the costs of succeeding in a career where trauma and its aftermath are experienced and witnessed by those who bring the news to our television screens, newspaper front pages and social media feeds? Drawing on the first hand experiences of senior journalists, this event brings together journalism and psychoanalysis to explore the complex and difficult relationships between trauma and journalism in the late modern world.
Speakers include
Gavin Rees
Director of the Dart Centre for Journalism and Trauma
Helen Long, Reuters News Editor, Producer and Journalist
in conversation with
Sally Weintrobe, Psychoanalyst
Chair :
Stephen Jukes, Professor of Journalism, Bournemouth University.
Followed by Drinks Reception, 8-9pm.
The event is organised by Bournemouth University
in collaboration with the Freud Museum, the Media and the Inner World research network and Dart Centre Europe.
Speaker Biographies
Stephen Jukes is Professor of Journalism at Bournemouth University’s Faculty of Media & Communication, one of the largest of its kind in Europe with an international reputation for combining research, teaching and professional practice. His research focuses on areas of objectivity and emotion in news with an emphasis on trauma and conflict journalism. He was previously a foreign correspondent and editor at the international news agency Reuters. During a series of overseas postings he covered or oversaw coverage of stories ranging from the ousting of Margaret Thatcher to the fall of the Berlin Wall, two Gulf Wars and September 11. In his final position at Reuters, he was Global Head of News and executive editor for a series of books on the Middle East conflict. He chairs the Dart Centre for Journalism & Trauma in Europe and is a trustee of the Institute for War & Peace Reporting.
Helen Long is a seasoned Reuters Television journalist with nearly 20 years of experience covering breaking news around the globe. Prior to joining Reuters in 1997, she spent several years studying the socio-economic costs of anti-personnel mines in the world’s heaviest mined countries on behalf of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL), a global coalition of civic organizations that succeeded in pushing through the International Mine Ban Treaty in 1997, earning the ICBL and its founding coordinator, Jody Williams, the Nobel Peace Prize. Based in London, Helen is a trade unionist and leads the Reuters NUJ chapel. She is deeply concerned about the effects of trauma on journalists covering conflict and disaster in the field as well as the more recent and pressing issue of vicarious trauma in the newsroom, stemming from the explosive proliferation of graphic user-generated content (UGC). In 2015, she developed new social media guidelines aimed at mitigating the risks of secondary trauma among journalists working with violent imagery and initiated a Peer Support Network, which provides a complementary source of help, advice and information to Reuters journalists and freelancers around the world.
Gavin Rees, a journalist and filmmaker, is the director of Dart Centre Europe. The Dart Centre is a project of the Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University in New York and is dedicated to promoting ethical and innovative approaches to the coverage of trauma and violence. Gavin is responsible for implementing the Centre’s work across Europe, and runs workshops and discussion groups on trauma awareness, resilience and interviewing skills for working journalists and journalism students in a range of countries around the world. Gavin has also produced business and political news for US, British and Japanese news channels, and has worked on drama and documentary films for the BBC, Channel 4 and independent film companies. As a visiting fellow in the Media School at Bournemouth University, Gavin is involved in academic research on how journalists report on violence, and he is a board member of the European Society of Traumatic Stress Studies and the UK Psychological Trauma Society.
Sally Weintrobe is a psychoanalyst who writes and talks on how to understand what underlies our widespread disavowal of climate change. She edited and contributed to Engaging with Climate Change (2012). Her current work is on the culture of ‘uncare’, a culture that she argues works to sever our felt caring links with the environment and with each other (see www.sallyweintrobe.com). She is a Fellow of the British Psychoanalytical Society, a Chartered Clinical Psychologist and a founding member of the Climate Psychology Alliance.
ESRC Festival of Social Science – Applications Closing Soon!
The Economic and Social Research Council’s (ESRC) Festival of Social Science returns for 2016 and BU will again be hosting events as a partner institution. This means students and staff from BU who wish to run events will be invited to submit their applications for event directly to us, rather than going through the national competitive process. Applications will be judged by an internal panel who will decide which events will run, and additionally the amount of funding they will be awarded.
What is the ESRC Festival of Social Science?
The festival is an annual event, this year running from 5 – 12 November, that celebrates social science and provides an insight into some of the country’s leading research and how that impacts our social, economic and political lives. Events can be almost anything, just a few examples from previous years have included: public debates, lectures, exhibitions (both physical and virtual), film screenings and interactive workshops.
Find out more here and take a look at national past events here
What information should I be aware of whilst developing the concept for my event and completing my application?
The ESRC’s website provides a wealth of information for potential event organisers. In particular you should read the applicant guidelines before submitting your application as we will only accept events that abide by these conditions. Especially important to note are the restrictions on funding as this year the maximum amount that can be awarded to events is £,1000. This is lower than previous years and is not a specific restriction based on BU, but a condition for all applications.
Additionally the information contained in this Event Organisers Guide may also be of interest to you.
How do I apply to run my event?
In order to apply to run your event, please download our application form from the I-drive – I:\R&KEO\Public\ESRC Festival of Social Science Applications and return it to FestivalofSocialScience@bournemouth.ac.uk before 4pm Friday 20 May. If you do not have access to the I-drive (for example if you’re working off site) then please email us to request a copy of the form.

Last Call – Want to take your research to Glastonbury?
I’m looking for PGR’s or Academics who would be interested to take their research up to Glastonbury Festival this June as part of an interactive Science tent. The tent is based in the Green Fields so a sustainability theme is preferable for your activity. To find out more drop me an email before midday Thursday 28th April with some brief details of what you’re research is about and the type of activity you might like to run – happy to work with you to develop ideas and there is a small budget available to support this. All expenses will be covered and there is plenty of time in the evenings to explore the excitement of the festival.
Something to note is Glastonbury Festival runs from the 22nd – 26th June and you will likely need to be there from the 21st – 27th June. If you are taking part in the Festival of Learning please check there isn’t a diary clash with your scheduled event.
I have to let other institutions know if we want the space by Thursday or we’ll lose the opportunity.
Sports Nutrition Live 2016 – A Review
James Gavin, Lecturer in Exercise Physiology, attended Sports Nutrition Live 2016 on Saturday, which was aimed at sports nutritionists, nutritional therapists, and personal trainers. The day began with a talk on Functional Sports Nutrition, emphasising that we should consider agriculture when thinking about nutrition (i.e., ‘soil to the plate’). Particularly, quality before quantity. Not the author’s area of expertise, this seemed a positive start to a conference in a discipline often shrouded by conflicting evidence and, dare I say it, pseudoscience (or conclusions beyond the evidence).
Next the audience digested Gastrointestinal (GI) Complaints and Exercise by Dr Justin Roberts (Anglia Ruskin University). Tips from this insightful talk: 1) GI complaints most prevalent in cycling (cramped position), 2) avoid eating just prior to above-moderate intensity exercise, and 3) keep hydrated. Taking these suggestions additively: do not cycle home from the pub! Before lunch, the session focused on how many of us are (apparently) ‘nucleotide-deficient’ (important for DNA production). However, the Dr Koeppel forgot to mention the functional consequences of a nucleotide-deficiency. Interestingly, and questionably, results derived from: IBS sufferers, mice and…Atlantic salmon.
Moving on, after lunch we were treated to an delightful session on Nutritional Strategies for Tour de France Cyclists by former professional rider, Eifion Weinzweig. Most interesting was the use of DNA Profiling, and the physiological and psychological demands placed upon professional cyclists. Oh, and you have to drink a lot of water cheat EPO testing! Next up was Dr Graeme Close (Liverpool John Moores University) discussing: Are Carbohydrates Still King When It Comes to Performance. Drawing upon Graeme’s applied experiences in professional rugby, and underpinned by classical studies in physiology, discussion focused upon: the role of carbohydrates in cell signaling, the joys of muscle biopsying, and the importance of carbohydrate for endurance and team-sport performance. All told, a really interesting one-day conference, drawing together speakers from varied backgrounds and industries…and gladly I say it, no pseudoscience. Well, maybe a little.

BU hosts public debate on the future of universities
‘Increasing inequality? Widening opportunity? Debating higher education reforms’
Wednesday 27th April sees the first of a series of high profile public events at BU, called Dialogues in the Social Sciences. Organised by Profs. Ann Brooks, Candida Yates and Barry Richards, their aim is to bring insights from the social sciences to bear on major areas of current concern: higher education, crime, violent extremism, and psychological well-being. In the first, two speakers from the Institute of Education in London offer their views on the Green Paper and where the HE sector may be heading. Professor Sir Peter Scott has been editor of the Times Higher and V-C of Kingston University; he is an authoritative commentator on key issues facing universities today. He is joined in this event by Professor Ann Phoenix, psychologist and leading researcher on education and identity. BU’s Dr Mastoureh Fathi (HSS) and Ellie Mayo-Ward (SUBU V-P) will be discussants. Professor Iain MacRury of FMC will chair what promises to be a highly informative and potentially controversial session, starting at 5.15 in the EBC (EB206). Refreshment available.

Cafe Scientifique 5 April – Speaker needed
Unfortunately our planned event for April’s Cafe Scientifique has not been able to go ahead. This means we have an open slot for April and we’re looking for a speaker who could step in for us – if you think you’d be interested please drop me an email for further information. This is a great opportunity to speak at Cafe Scientifique as our next available slot to give a talk is quite a few months down the line.
In case you’re not familiar with Cafe Scientifique, it’s a place where, for the price of a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, anyone can come to explore the latest ideas in science and technology. Speakers give a short presentation around a topic (roughly 30 minutes), before engaging in debate and discussion with the audience to really explore the issues. It takes place at Cafe Boscanova in Boscombe on the first Tuesday of every month from 7:30-9pm and we usually have around 20-30 people in attendance. Previous talks and more information about Cafe Sci can be found on our website.
Who are the World’s Heaviest Tear Gas Users?
Check out the interactive maps on our BU Civic Media Hub website to find out!
Everyday tear gas is used around the world, from Brazil to Bahrain, from Thailand to the Occupied Territories of Palestine. Yet, while journalists file news stories of tear gas deployments, there is no national or international data recorded on its use or its effects.
Researchers and campaign groups work hard to raise awareness of the true effects of tear gas, yet its health effects remain undetermined and its death toll ill-defined. Data on tear gas is dispersed across nations, suppressed by governments, and spun by corporate manufacturers with a vested interest in keeping sales figures high. Largely unregulated and unmonitored, the for-profit transnational trade in tear gas continues to raise legal questions, as people around the world face its repressive and often violent effects.
Our 2015 Mapping the Media project sought to aggregate news reports on tear gassing in efforts to make public the frequency and motivations for its use. The maps form part of a larger research project led by Dr. Anna Feigenbaum, Senior Lecturer in Digital Storytelling at Bournemouth University. The 2015 mapping was done by Dr. Feigenbaum and her Undergraduate Research Assistant (URA) Laura McKenna with support from Dr. Pippa Gillingham and the BU Datalabs Team that came together through CCCP Fusion Grant in 2014.
Find out more about digital storytelling for impact from Dr. Feigenbaum’s blog post on the topic.
Faculty of Management students attend high profile industry event
Students and staff from the Department of Events & Leisure in the Faculty of Management recently attended an exclusive charity reception hosted by the Fastforward15 mentor programme at Basement at The London Edition, where more than £3,500 was raised, with proceeds going to Newlife Foundation, The Prince’s Trust and The Clink.
The Fast Forward 15 mentoring programme is a not for profit initiative spanning the events, hospitality and related industry providers, giving access to and insight from some of the leaders in these fields; an inspiring portfolio of influential and select talent who are willing to share their knowledge and experience with budding stars of the future. Fastforward15 founder and MD of Zibrant Fay Sharpe was on hand to support the charity event and took the time to meet with the students and encourage applications from our students.
Final year events management students Kateryna Spivek, Kathleen McLoughlin, Daisy Collins and Freya Hill attended along with Department of Events & Leisure staff Dr Debbie Sadd & Dr Mary Beth Gouthro. The students were impressed to not only meet course alumni as FastForward15 mentees, Hannah Coleman and Lauren Glynn, but got to network with other course graduates who are currently established in the industry, eg Chris Middleton of Cievents, Katie Frettingham of Live Union and Laura Dennett of Zibrant.
Freya Hill, final year student said ‘a Night of Sparkle was a fantastic chance to meet people in all areas of the events industry – be it agency or in house. Each person I spoke to had a different perspective on the importance of events education – a topic also relevant to my dissertation. It was particularly inspiring to speak to BU grads and current Fast Forward 15 mentees and to hear of the many opportunities they have been given thanks to their degree as well as the fast forward 15 programme and their mentors’.
Student Kathleen McLoughlin also added ‘…from what we saw and from who I had a chance to speak to, the scheme has opened many doors for the mentees and they have accomplished so much in their year with their mentors. It was an honour to speak to Fay Sharpe herself, a very influential woman who has inspired me to apply for the scheme to aim for success!’
Fundraising activities on the night included a jewellery sale courtesy of Newlife, while raffle prizes were donated by firms including All About Flights, Green Route Africa, One & Only Cape Town, MICEBOOK and The Savoy. Following the success of its inaugural year, Fast Forward 15 is returning for 2016, offering 15 new mentees the opportunity to be 
of the programme. Applications recently closed and the events management course in the Faculty of Management has some hopeful applications in the mix. The Fastforward15 graduation and instalment of new mentees takes place at the Langham Hotel in London at the end of April.
