SUMMARY:February Forum: Piecing Together Traces of a Lost Coventry Mystery Play
DESCRIPTION:Online via Zoom Conferencing  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the February Forum \n\n\n\n‘Tantalizing Fragments: Piecing Together Traces of a Lost Coventry Mystery Play’\n\n\n\nPresented by Dr Miriam Gill \n\n\n\nThe cycle of Mystery Plays performed by the trade guilds of Coventry were famous in the later Middle Ages\, enjoyed by royalty and\, in their latter days\, probably seen by William Shakespeare. But only two plays survive; the famous ‘Coventry Carol’ comes from one. The other plays can only be reconstructed from some expenses of the ‘consumables’ and the visual culture of Coventry. This forum shares the ways how fragmentary stained glass may develop our understanding of the spectacular finale of the cycle\, the Drapers’ play of the Last Judgement. \n\n\n\nAbout the presenter \n\n\n\nMiriam Gill is an expert in Medieval church painting. She is the author of numerous articles and chapters on the topic and has taught art history to adults at the universities of Leicester\, Cambridge and Oxford for many years.  She is also the Secretary of Leicester Vaughan College.  \n\n\n\nDetails of this Forum \n\n\n\nThis forum will take place using Zoom Conferencing. Please book your free place using the link below to get the joining details. It will start at 6.15pm and finish by 7.30pm \n\n\n\nClick here to get your ticket and Zoom link to this event.

SUMMARY:January Forum: Sudden Death - Nineteenth-Century Coroners Inquests
DESCRIPTION:Online via Zoom Conferencing  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSudden Death: Nineteenth-Century  \n\n\n\nAbout the January Forum \n\n\n\nSudden Death: Nineteenth-Century Coroners Inquests\, a talk illustrated with case studies from Leicester\n\n\n\nSudden fatalities attracted great social\, medical and media interest in the nineteenth century. Inquests\, typically held publicly and rapidly after a death\, were community events\, drawing people from all social classes together to discuss and judge causes of death. The coroner’s court identified homicide and criminal acts of suicide\, but also investigated accidents and unexpected natural deaths. The proceedings offer a remarkable insight into Victorian life\, death and society\, lifting the curtain on domestic life\, working practices\, and interpersonal relationships. In this talk\, Sophie Michell explains how the inquest worked in the nineteenth century\, using examples from Leicester.  \n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker \n\n\n\nSophie Michell is a PhD candidate at the Open University\, studying the coroner’s court in Peterborough.  \n\n\n\nEvent Details  \n\n\n\nThis is an online event.

SUMMARY:October Forum: 999\, CCTV and Computers: the History of Police Control Rooms
DESCRIPTION:Location: Gimson Room\, Secular Hall\, Humberstone Gate\, Leicester \n\n\n\n\n\nDay 282 West Midlands Police: West Midlands Police via Wikimedia Commons : https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Day_282_-West_Midlands_Police(8067244132).jpg\n\n\n\nAbout the October Forum \n\n\n\nPresented by Dr Chris Williams \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n‘999\, CCTV and Computers: the History of Police Control Rooms’ \n\n\n\nMany of us will have dialed ‘999’ and asked for ‘police’. But what’s the history of this system that we take for granted? It began in the 1930s – but owed a lot to earlier innovation from the military and the railways. Once British police forces became centrally controlled on an operational level\, they also transformed technologically. Computers brought information into the control room\, and CCTV brought images. This lecture tells the story of this transformation and its wider significance in British society. \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter \n\n\n\nDr Chris Williams has researched and written various books and articles on police history\, including police surveillance and the emergence of CCTV. He is the author of Police Control Systems in Britain\, 1775–1975: From Parish Constable to National Computer (2014).  \n\n\n\nEvent Details  \n\n\n\nThis is an in-person Forum. There will be tea and cake before the Forum from 6.15 pm. The talk will start at 6.30pm and finish by 7.45pm. The Forum will be held in Secular Hall on Humberstone Gate in the Gimson Room.   \n\n\n\nGet tickets  \n\n\n\nTo help us with catering numbers\, please book your place for this free event here.

SUMMARY:June Forum: Medieval Charnwood Forest
DESCRIPTION:Medieval Charnwood Forest: Wasteland or Wonderland \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by Dr Ann Stones  \n\n\n\nMedieval Charnwood Forest was an upland\, rocky\, sparsely populated and largely uncultivated area of north-west Leicestershire which contrasted sharply with the rich and plentiful ‘champion’ landscape of the Soar Valley to its east. But what were contemporary perceptions of medieval Charnwood? Was the forest seen as a barren\, deserted and rather mysterious place\, a barrier to cultural integration? Or was it instead a more familiar landscape\, one regarded as a valuable resource and cultural meeting place? At this forum we will examine landscape\, archaeological\, place-name\, cartographical and place-name evidence in an attempt to find answers to these questions. \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter  \n\n\n\nAnn Stones studied for a BA (Hons) in Humanities at Vaughan College and then went on to do an MA in English Local History.  She completed a PhD in English Local History which researched the boundaries of medieval Charnwood Forest (University of Leicester\, 2018). Her PhD was sponsored by the Arts and Humanities Research Council in collaboration with Leicestershire Victoria County History Trust’s ‘Charnwood Roots Project’.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnn has also previously worked for Leicester Vaughan College as an Action Researcher for the Community Explorers Project which was run in association with Leicester Aging Together (LAT). She was also the first convener of the Vaughan Forums.  \n\n\n\nEvent Details  \n\n\n\nThis is an in-person forum. There will be tea and cake before the Forum. The talk will start at 6.30pm and finish by 7.45pm. It will be held at Leicester Adult Education College on Belvoir Street\, LE1 6QL. \n\n\n\nGet tickets  \n\n\n\nTo help us with catering numbers\, please book your place for this free event here.

SUMMARY:May Forum: Returning colonials at home
DESCRIPTION:‘Fix your tent’: Returning colonials at home in England\, Bedford and other habitats c1870-1914\n\n\n\nPresented by Dr Denise McHugh  \n\n\n\nImage: British family in India in front of their house: https://www.oldindianphotos.in/2011_06_26_archive.html via Wikimedia Commons\n\n\n\nThis talk explores the households and habits of British colonisers returning home from India at the height of the British ‘Raj’. The self-identified ‘Anglo-Indians’ were mainly middle-class professionals seeking very particular environments to accommodate their extended families\, occupational interests and community networks. We will look at some households and discover how to house-hunt\, what to consider and how to live in England when it is a ‘home’ you do not know. \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter \n\n\n\nDenise researched the county towns of Bedford and Lincoln for her doctorate in urban history. She came across a community of returned colonisers in Bedford and after her PhD found out more about why they chose to live Bedford and other selected towns around England. \n\n\n\nMore recently\, Denise has been researching the history of the everyday experience of provincial town and city centre. She has co-authored several articles on the topic and is currently working on a book.  Denise is a former Vaughan tutor and teaches history at the Open University. \n\n\n\nEvent details  \n\n\n\nThis is an in-person forum. There will be tea and cake before the Forum. The talk will start at 6.30pm and finish by 7.45pm. Venue TBC. \n\n\n\nTo Get Tickets \n\n\n\nPlease follow this link to get your free tickets.

SUMMARY:March Forum: A Resistant Reading of Family History
DESCRIPTION:This is an online Vaughan Forum. Sign up here to receive the joining link. \n\n\n\n\n\nRoots and Routes: A Resistant Reading of Family History   \n\n\n\nPresented by Dr Kate Carruthers Thomas \n\n\n\nImage: National Library of Wales at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Large_family_group\,_Chwilog_NLW3363021.jpg\n\n\n\nI am an interdisciplinary scholar of gender\, who has also spent the last two decades researching my family history. This talk is about the entanglement of those two roles. There has been a lot of technological progress in the techniques of researching family history\, but some things have not changed so fast. Family histories continue to be weighted towards white male lines of descent and activity\, reflecting genealogy’s continuing bias in favour of patriarchy and the colonial. In response\, I have tried to tell stories hitherto sidelined or silenced\, and my talk will discuss how I’ve done this\, through fieldwork\, podcasting and a micro-exhibition. \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter \n\n\n\nKate is a Senior Research Fellow at Birmingham City University. Her research interests are gender and contemporary higher education\, academic writing practices\, and creative research methodologies. She is Co-Convenor of a national research network: Higher Education and the COVID-19 Pandemic (HEC19) hosted by the Society for Research in Higher Education (SRHE).  She is the author of variety of publications and has a series of podcasts called A Feminist Family History in Eight Lives. \n\n\n\nDetails of this Forum  \n\n\n\nThis forum will take place using Zoom Conferencing.

SUMMARY:February Forum: The Giant Hogweed Caper
DESCRIPTION:This is an online Forum.  Sign up to receive the joining link.  \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Giant Giant Hogweed Caper of 1970 \n\n\n\nPresented by Dr Stuart Mitchell \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the early summer of 1970\, massed ranks of Giant Hogweed ravaged the UK\, burning children and annexing riverbanks\, woodland\, and canals. Or\, at least\, that was the impression given by some media outlets at the time. While the truth was somewhat less dramatic\, still these twelve-foot monsters\, packed with phototoxic sap\, became something of a public sensation. Dr Stuart Mitchell reaches back into the nineteenth century to explain how a highly desirable ornamental plant became an invasive menace. \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter \n\n\n\nDr Stuart Mitchell has been lecturing in history at the Open University for nearly 30 years. He is the author of The Brief and Turbulent Life of Modernising Conservatism (2008).  He runs the Curious Histories talks programme\, a series of online and in person talks\, which raises money for a foodbank in Brighton.  \n\n\n\nDetails of the Forum \n\n\n\nThis forum will take place using Zoom Conferencing.

SUMMARY:December Forum: Opposition to the Civil Rights Movement
DESCRIPTION:‘Researching the Opposition to the Civil Rights Movement’\n\n\n\nThis is an online Vaughan Forum. \n\n\n\nPresented by Dr Bradley Phipps \n\n\n\n15 Nov 1960\, New Orleans\, Louisiana\, USA — At a meeting of the White Citizens Council of Greater New Orleans – a body formed in opposition to the idea of school desegregation – some members stand\, wave Confederate flags and one holds a sign threatening the Federal judge\, school board president\, and mayor with deportation to Cuba. — Image by © Bettmann/CORBIS\n\n\n\nThe US civil rights movement has been the focus of a good deal of historical inquiry. Less-studied\, however\, has been the ‘Massive Resistance’ to the movement\, which sought to thwart racial integration and prevent civil rights for African Americans. \n\n\n\nThis talk will reflect on researching the opposition to the civil rights movement. Amongst these are the difficulty of establishing the facts about the often-secretive activities of segregationists who wanted Black and white Americans to remain separate; the limited sources available; and the reticence of segregationists to give interviews or provide material to those studying this aspect of history. Despite its challenges\, researching this part of history is important\, not only to provide important context to studies of the civil rights movement\, but also because the legacy of the racist opposition to the civil rights movement continues to shape American politics today. \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the presenter \n\n\n\nBradley Phipps is a historian of the modern United States\, focusing on backlash politics and the opposition to the civil rights movement. He completed his PhD at the University of Leicester\, and is now a Researcher at the Learning and Work Institute\, working on research projects related to education\, skills\, and employment. \n\n\n\nAbout the Vaughan Forum \n\n\n\nThe Vaughan Forum is series of talks\, discussions and workshops which are open to anyone who is curious and wants to find out more. \n\n\n\nThemes for sessions relate to our core teaching topics\, arts\, humanities\, social sciences and counselling\, and also discuss adult education and co-operative issues. \n\n\n\nGet your free ticket \n\n\n\nThis is a online event.

SUMMARY:November Forum: 'Caught short’
DESCRIPTION:Leicester Adult Education College\, Belvoir Street\, LE1 6QL \n\n\n\n\n\n‘Caught short’: \n\n\n\nLondon’s loos since the 1960s \n\n\n\nSouth End Green\, Gospel Oak\n\n\n\nIn ’Caught short’: London’s loos since the 1960s’ Simon Fowler and Dan Weinbren look at the impact of toilets on public life over the past sixty years. As well as providing an important function of providing a safe and private place to pee\, it also accommodated other functions such as venues for the illegal activities of drug addicts and homosexual men. Local Leicester lad Joe Orton wrote graphically of his experiences in London’s toilets. Over the past six decades\, public loos have virtually disappeared from the streets. What do more recent developments tell us about shifts in gender and class identities and the public/private dichotomy? \n\n\n\nAbout the presenters \n\n\n\nSimon Fowler has recently started a PhD at Leicester on the history of tourism. He has some 30 years’ experience as an  archivist\, historian and genealogist and has written and lectured on a wide variety of subjects from pubs to workhouses.  \n\n\n\nBased at the Open University since the last century Dr Dan Weinbren has taught and published on a range of social mutual and business histories often with a focus on London. \n\n\n\nThey are the co-authors of Now the war is over. Britain 1919-20 (2018). \n\n\n\nEvent details \n\n\n\nTea and cake will be provided from 6.15pm. The Forum will start at 6.30pm and run to 7.45pm. . It will be held in Leicester Adult Education College on Belvoir Street. The nearest car park is the Newark Street Car Park but you can park for free on the surrounding streets\, e.g. Wellington Street and King Street. There are bike racks next to the main entrance. \n\n\n\nTo get tickets \n\n\n\nFollow this link to book your free place.

SUMMARY:Vaughan Discovery Circles Launch
DESCRIPTION:Vaughan Discovery Circles Launch Event \n\n\n\n\n\nDo you love learning? Do you enjoy discovering and sharing knowledge with others?\n\n\n\nWe know that members of Leicester Vaughan College love learning. They also value discovering and sharing knowledge together. We want to create a context in which this enthusiasm for learning is part of the life of Leicester Vaughan College\, alongside the more formal Vaughan Open Research Forum. This is where the Discovery Circles come in.  \n\n\n\nImage: St Nicholas Compton Medieval Graffiti taken by BabelStone and located on Wikimedia Commons.\n\n\n\nWhat are Discovery Circles?\n\n\n\nLeicester Vaughan College’s Discovery Circles offer the opportunity for like-minded people to get together to explore ideas\, topics and things (e.g. ethics\, architectural history\, poems\, films\, etc.) in a small group context.  \n\n\n\nDiscovery Circles consist of groups of people who share their knowledge with each other and what they have ‘discovered’ about whatever is being discussed at each meeting. The focus of each gathering is agreed cooperatively and democratically by the members of the Circle.  The Circles gather at a time decided by its members so this might be often or just a few times a year. Members share the chairing and any related organising needed for the gathering.  \n\n\n\nEach Circle will have its own page on the LVC website. Details of gatherings will be shared using LVC mailing lists and via LVC social media.  LVC will be there for support and advice.  You can see a sample idea for a Discovery Circle here. This is just to give you an idea of what a Discovery Circle might look like and how it might work. \n\n\n\nWhat will happen at the launch?\n\n\n\nThose attending the launch will discuss various ideas for Discovery Circles. These can be suggested before the launch or on the evening itself. You can come along and pitch an idea or just attend to see if anyone has suggestions which appeal to you. There’s no obligation to join any circle.  \n\n\n\nIf you are interested\, intrigued or simply puzzled\, come along to the launch and find out more! \n\n\n\nRefreshments \n\n\n\nHot and cold drinks\, snacks and cake will be provided during the evening so please sign up here to help us provide the sufficient catering. \n\n\n\nVenue details\n\n\n\nThe Launch will take place in the Satta Hashem Hall at the Leicester Adult Education College on 18 September from 6.30pm.   \n\n\n\nWith thanks to the Central England Cooperative Community Fund\n\n\n\nOur venue hire for the launch has been covered by a grant from the Central England Cooperative Community Fund. We are very grateful for their support in helping us launch our Discovery Circles.

SUMMARY:May Forum: Repairing things to help with grieving
DESCRIPTION:Repairing things to help with grieving: An art therapist’s journey through grief and the use of repair to help mend the self\n\n\n\n\n\nVisible Repair by Vicky Cutler (Image: Vicky Cutler)\n\n\n\nAbout the May Forum\n\n\n\n\nCan the journey of a grieving person be helped by the creativity and physicality of the visible repair of objects that have emotional significance?   \n\n\n\n\nPresented by Vicky Cutler \n\n\n\nThis talk will follow a personal journey of art therapist Vicky Cutler in her quest to use the creativity of visibly repairing objects that had close personal connection to her partner.

SUMMARY:January Forum: Researching and writing adult education history
DESCRIPTION:Researching and writing adult education history\n\n\n\nThis is an in-person Forum. It will be held at the Leicester Adult Education College on Belvoir Street. Tea and cake will be provided from 6.00pm. The Forum will start at 6.15pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the January Forum \n\n\n\nReflecting on his recent book\, The Vital Message: Continuing Education and the University of Cambridge 1945-2010\, Professor Mark Freeman will consider the challenges of writing an institutional history of university adult education\, particularly in the recent period.  \n\n\n\nThere is a long tradition of adult education history\, often written from within institutions themselves. [Vaughan College has three such histories]. This tradition has reflected the senses of both marginality and mission that have characterised self-perception in extramural departments.  This may have been intensified in recent years under the impact of rapid and damaging changes in the funding environment\, and the closure of many such departments. Nevertheless\, the ‘Great Tradition’ of post-war university adult education produced many curricular and teaching-related innovations that remain worthy of study from a historical perspective. \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter\n\n\n\nMark Freeman is Professor of Social History and Education in the Institute of Education\, University College London.  His is a historian of modern Britain\, focusing on the history of adult education\, youth organisations and informal education. He has published several books and articles on various aspects of modern British history.  He was co-investigator on a large AHRC-funded project entitled ‘The Redress of the Past: Historical Pageants in Britain 1905-2016’ and co-editor of Restaging the Past: Historical Pageants\, Culture and Society in Modern Britain. Mark is also on the editorial board of the journal History of Education.  \n\n\n\nAbout the Vaughan Open Research Forum \n\n\n\nVaughan Open Research Forum is series of talks\, workshops and interactive sessions which are open to anyone who is curious and wants to find out more. \n\n\n\nThemes for sessions relate to our core teaching topics\, arts\, humanities\, social sciences and counselling\, and also discuss adult education and co-operative issues \n\n\n\nRegister for this event\n\n\n\nThis is a free event. It would help us with the catering if you could book your ticket here.

SUMMARY:December Forum: An open discussion on what the future holds for in-person learning
DESCRIPTION:What can in-person teaching offer in a digital age? Reviewing experiences of learners and teachers after the pandemic.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage@ Night School Girl- Evening Classes in Wartime London\, C 1940 D366.jpg: Ministry of Information Photo Division Photographer\, Public domain\, via Wikimedia Commons \n\n\n\nAbout the December Forum \n\n\n\nMiriam Gill and Lucy Faire will be leading a discussion about the value (if any) of face-to-face (or ‘in-person’) learning and teaching in a digital age.   During the pandemic\, many more of us experienced online learning. Teachers\, who perhaps had never taught online before\, acquired new skills in digital delivery; students became familiar with online communications platforms such as Zoom or Teams.   Although pandemic is officially over\, much learning has remained online.  The decisions to do this have often been constructed through practical and economic considerations or driven by the imperatives of policy\, with perhaps less attention paid to the voices of learners and teachers. \n\n\n\nIn this Forum we will debate what face-to-face learning can offer to both student and teacher.  Come along to share your views on both online and face-to-face delivery. Is there still a place for in-person teaching and learning? If so\, what is that place?  This is an interactive forum and we would like learners (both past and present) and teachers to share your views in a friendly discussion. \n\n\n\nAbout the hosts\n\n\n\nMiriam and Lucy have taught adult for many years\, delivering in both in-person and online settings. In 2022 they under took a small research project to consider how the shift to online learning during the COVID 19 lockdown period changed adult learners’ experiences of lifelong learning. You can find out more about this project here and read some of their initial findings.   \n\n\n\nAbout the Vaughan Open Research Forum \n\n\n\nVaughan Open Research Forum is series of talks\, workshops and interactive sessions which are open to anyone who is curious and wants to find out more. \n\n\n\nThemes for sessions relate to our core teaching topics\, arts\, humanities\, social sciences and counselling\, and also discuss adult education and co-operative issues \n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nThis is a FREE online event and you will receive a meeting link when you register using the link below. \n\n\n\nClick here to get your free ticket.

SUMMARY:November Forum: Interpreting Iron Age transitioning landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Interpreting Iron Age transitioning landscapes: the territory of the Catuvellauni.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: North-facing viewpoint from the northern end of the Iron Age cross dyke in Standish Wood near Randwick in Gloucestershire. Photograph Ethan Doyle White\, Wikimedia Commons.   \n\n\n\nAbout the November Forum \n\n\n\nPresented by Michael J. Curtis\n\n\n\nOne of the challenges in landscape archaeology is to look back in time and interpret landscapes as they might have been in ancient times. For some years Michael has been studying the landscape of the Catuvellauni tribe\, a late Iron Age tribe whose territory took in parts of Essex\, Hertfordshire and Northamptonshire and which encroached into Cambridgeshire\, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. Whilst the origins of the tribe are blurred\, the manner in which the tribal landscape developed under Roman administration and governance is certainly not. This forum presentation looks at how we can reconstruct this landscape and examines the difference that it makes in the interpretation that has been advanced for some of the excavations on sites within the territory of the Catuvellauni. \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter\n\n\n\n\n\nMichael is a landscape and coastal archaeologist. He is an Honorary Fellow in the School of Archaeology & Ancient History at the University of Leicester\, where he is studying the Roman Imperial Ports and Harbours of Crete. He has edited several volumes on Hellenistic and Roman Crete and is a joint editor of a new book series entitled ‘Cretan Studies: New Approaches and Perspectives in the Study of Hellenistic\, Roman and Byzantine Crete’ which is to be published by Oxbow Books. Michael is the lead member in a Greek-led project researching and surveying the Roman harbour at Ierapetra\, in eastern Crete\, and within the UK is currently engaged in research into the Catuvellauni\, a late Iron Age tribe in south-eastern Britain. Michael is Chair of Northamptonshire Archaeological Society and a Trustee and Executive Board member of the Nautical Archaeology Society. His one of the founders of My Ancient World Learning Ltd\, a company aimed at delivering online and classroom courses on archaeology and ancient history. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout the Vaughan Open Research Forum\n\n\n\nVaughan Open Research Forum is series of talks\, workshops and interactive sessions which are open to anyone who is curious and wants to find out more. \n\n\n\nThemes for sessions relate to our core teaching topics\, arts\, humanities\, social sciences and counselling\, and also discuss adult education and co-operative issues.  \n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nThis is a FREE online event and you will receive a meeting link when you register using the link below. \n\n\n\nClick here to buy ticketsSell tickets online with Ticket Tailor

SUMMARY:Thinking about Medieval Murals
DESCRIPTION:October Forum: What Do We Mean by Context? Thinking about Medieval Murals\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat can surviving murals tell us about their original contexts? What are the limits of our powers of interpretation and reconstruction? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Surviving lower half of the Refectory Mural in the Charterhouse\, Coventry: photo R. Stevenson \n\n\n\nAbout the October Forum\n\n\n\nPresented by Dr Miriam Gill \n\n\n\nMurals were the most common form of internal decoration in medieval buildings. They were onceubiquitous in religious and secular or domestic settings. As wall art they bound to their physicalcontext and subject to changes in fashion\, architecture and use. They are also an element of designwhich endures when fixtures\, fittings and furniture are long gone. \n\n\n\nWall paintings also have a broader context. They are a surviving element of complex historic culture.They can be understood in relation to the ideology\, beliefs and social structures of the Middle Ages.This Vaughan Open Research Forum is a conversation with examples about how these questions ofphysical and cultural context emerge in the study of wall painting. It is a chance to think about whatsurviving murals tell us about their original context and the different contexts they can relate to andthe limits of our powers of interpretation and reconstruction. \n\n\n\nThis session will an online forum and will run from 6.15 pm – 7:15 pm. A link to the Zoom session will be sent on the day to people who have registered via Eventbrite using the form below.  \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter\n\n\n\nMiriam’s doctoral thesis was on the ‘Content and Context of Late Medieval Wall Painting’. She is interested in both the stylistic and iconographic development of late medieval wall paintings and the roles which they served in medieval interiors\, imitating more prestigious types of media\, such as textiles and also indicating the presence of important elements (such as devotional statues and altars). With Dr Ellie Pridgeon\, she has been writing about the Three Living and the Three Dead\, a subject from elite vernacular poetry which became prominent in parish wall painting. In the last few months she’s spoken on the sources of the late medieval Wall Paintings in the Guild Chapel at Stratford-upon-Avon\, the complex painted interior of the grand parish church of Brisley and the extraordinary refectory mural of the Charterhouse\, Coventry.  Miriam is also Leicester Vaughan College’s company secretary. \n\n\n\nAbout the Vaughan Open Research Forum \n\n\n\nThe Vaughan Open Research Forum is a series of talks\, workshops and interactive sessions which are open to anyone who is curious and wants to find out more. \n\n\n\nThemes for sessions relate to our core teaching topics\, arts\, humanities\, social sciences and counselling\, and also discuss adult education and co-operative issues. \n\n\n\nRegister for this Event\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/what-do-we-mean-by-context-thinking-about-medieval-murals-tickets-735467562277?aff=oddtdtcreator

SUMMARY:Pilgrimage and Encounters with the Holy
DESCRIPTION:June Forum: Pilgrimage and Encounters with the Holy\n\n\n\nThis is a free event.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Louis IX on pilgrimage to Nazareth\, from Chroniques de France ou de St Denis\, 14th century. Wikimedia Commons. \n\n\n\nAbout the June Forum \n\n\n\nPresented by Professor Elizabeth Tingle \n\n\n\nPilgrimage\, defined as a journey for spiritual purposes\, was and remains a fundamental component of many religions. People travel to ‘tap’ into sanctity\, to deploy it in their everyday lives\, for healing\, obligation\, devotional need\, and religious curiosity. By travelling to ‘meet’ a saint or to experience the site of a sacred event\, the devout engage with sanctity on a personal\, physical\, and often a material level. \n\n\n\nThis research forum will consider the features of pilgrimage that distinguish it from other forms of travel. It will look at motives for travelling; modes of journeying and popular destinations; use and experience of sacred space; votive acts\, and material ways of remembering the visit. This will be done initially through an examination of the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in northern Spain\, across time. We will then consider the experiences of different faiths; the difference between sacred and secular journeying\, and why pilgrimage remains extremely popular today. \n\n\n\nAbout the presenter\n\n\n\nElizabeth Tingle is Professor of History at De Montfort University. She is the author of various publications relating to religious history and her most recent work is Sacred Journeys: Long Distance Pilgrimage in North-Western Europe in the Counter Reformation (Medieval Institute Press/De Gruyter\, 2020). \n\n\n\nThere will be tea and cake from 6pm. The forum will run from 6.15pm to 7.30pm. Venue TBC. \n\n\n\nAbout the Vaughan Open Research Forum \n\n\n\nThe Vaughan Open Research Forum is a series of talks\, workshops and interactive sessions which are open to anyone who is curious and wants to find out more. \n\n\n\nThemes for sessions relate to our core teaching topics\, arts\, humanities\, social sciences and counselling\, and also discuss adult education and co-operative issues. \n\n\n\nHow to register for this event \n\n\n\nThis is a free event but please register in advance using the form below. \n\n\n\nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/pilgrimage-and-encounters-with-the-holy-tickets-627207884667

SUMMARY:March Forum
DESCRIPTION:Cricket Country: Sport and the idea of India in the Age of Empire\n\n\n\n\n\nFront cover of Prashant Kidambi’s book.\n\n\n\nAbout March’s Forum\n\n\n\nPresented by Dr Prashant Kidambi\n\n\n\nPrashant’s book Cricket Country is the untold story of how the idea of India was fashioned on the cricket pitch in the high noon of empire. Conceived by an unlikely coalition of imperial and Indian elites\, it took twelve years and three failed attempts before an ‘Indian’ cricket team made its debut on the playing fields of imperial Britain in the blazing coronation summer of 1911. This is a capacious tale with an improbable cast of characters set against the backdrop of revolutionary protest and princely intrigue. Prashant talk will highlight key episodes in this extraordinary story. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThere will be tea and coffee from 6pm and the talk will start at 6.15pm. The Forum will be held at the Leicester Adult Education College\, 54 Belvoir Street. \n\n\n\nmmmmmmm \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter\n\n\n\nPrashant Kidambi is associate professor of colonial urban history at the University of Leicester. After completing postgraduate degrees in history at the Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi\, he was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship to pursue a doctorate at the University of Oxford. Prashant’s research explores the interface between British imperialism and the history of modern South Asia. He is the author of The Making of an Indian Metropolis: Colonial Governance and Public Culture in Bombay\, 1890-1920 and the lead editor of Bombay Before Mumbai: Essays in Honour of Jim Masselos. \n\n\n\nAbout the Vaughan Open Research Forums\n\n\n\nThe forums are a series of talks\, workshops and interactive sessions which are open to anyone who is curious and wants to find out more. \n\n\n\nThemes for sessions relate to our core teaching topics\, arts\, humanities\, social sciences and counselling\, and also discuss adult education and co-operative issues.  The Forums usually take place on the second Thursday of the month. \n\n\n\nHow to register for this event\n\n\n\nThis is a free event but it would help us with catering if you register in advance. \n\n\n\nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/cricket-country-sport-and-the-idea-of-india-in-the-age-of-empire-tickets-541126723597

SUMMARY:February Forum
DESCRIPTION:Was knowledge power? Reflections on exhibiting a history of adult education\n\n\n\n\n\nPoster for the Exhibition ‘Knowledge is Power’\n\n\n\nAbout the February Forum\n\n\n\nPresented by Professor John Holford\n\n\n\nProfessor John Holford will be talking about the exhibition ‘Knowledge is Power: Class\, Community and Adult Education’ which is running until 12 March at the Weston Gallery\, Lakeside Arts\, Nottingham.  The exhibition looks at the history of adult education at Nottingham University.   \n\n\n\nNottingham University College (which became Nottingham University in 1948) opened its adult education department in 1920 – the first adult education department in Britain. Like Vaughan College\, Nottingham’s adult education department had a substantial impact on its region working with unions\, employers\, local councils and voluntary organisations. It also had a role in the development of various well-known local societies.  John will be talking about the importance of this sister organisation to Vaughan College and consider the extent to which knowledge was (and still is?) power.  \n\n\n\nYou can see an introductory video on the exhibition by John on the exhibition webpage which also has further information and sources on Nottingham’s adult education department.  \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter\n\n\n\nProfessor John Holford has held the Robert Peers Chair in Adult Education since 2007. His main research area has been the role of lifelong education in the formation of citizens\, communities and social movements.  John is also the Co-ordinator of the Horizon 2020 research project\, ENLIVEN (Encouraging Lifelong Learning for an Inclusive & Vibrant Europe: 2016-2019). He has been a partner in several previous EU research projects.  You can read more about him on his university webpage. \n\n\n\nAbout the Vaughan Open Research Forum\n\n\n\nVaughan Open Research Forum is a series of talks\, workshops and interactive sessions which are open to anyone who is curious and wants to find out more \n\n\n\nThemes for sessions relate to our core teaching topics\, arts\, humanities\, social sciences and counselling\, and also discuss adult education and co-operative issues \n\n\n\nHow to register for this event\n\n\n\nThis is an online event taking place via Zoom Conferencing.

SUMMARY:November forum: The Universities Partnership in Leicestershire: ambitions and next steps in education for all
DESCRIPTION:This is a free online event. Register to receive link details. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout the November Forum presented by Fi Donovan (De Montfort University)\n\n\n\nWhat is the Universities Partnership and what does it mean for higher education and the ‘civic university’?\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThis forum will interest those who want to find out more about the activities and aims of the Universities Partnership in Leicestershire.  It will also appeal to those who are interested more broadly in the concept of the ‘civic university’ and its role in promoting widening participation and reawakening adult education within the university sector. \n\n\n\nIn June 2022 the three Universities in Leicestershire joined with local government to form the Universities Partnership (https://universitiespartnership.org/). Such local partnerships are a central element in the strategy of the Civic Universities Network (https://civicuniversitynetwork.co.uk/)\, a national organisation founded in response to the exploration  by the Civic University Commission chaired by Lord Kerslake (2018-9). This important Commission examined what it means to be a Civic University in the 21st Century and its first publication was a progress paper focussed on reigniting adult education in the UK. \n\n\n\nFi Donavan (De Montfort University) will lead the session. She will present the overarching actions which have been undertaken as part of the Civic University Agreement since its formation. She will also signpost how to get involved in the partnership.  \n\n\n\nAbout the presenter\n\n\n\nFi Donovan is Head of Engagement & Partnerships at De Montfort University and her institution’s lead for the education strand of the local Universities Partnership.  \n\n\n\nAbout the Vaughan Open Research Forums\n\n\n\nVaughan Open Research Forum is series of talks\, workshops and interactive sessions which are open to anyone who is curious and wants to find out more. \n\n\n\nThemes for sessions relate to our core teaching topics\, arts\, humanities\, social sciences and counselling\, and also discuss adult education and co-operative issues.

SUMMARY:Living with the Wire
DESCRIPTION:Civilian Internment on the Isle of Man During the First World War\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPen and ink view of the Isle of Man internment camp with German captions\n\n\n\nAbout the October Forum \n\n\n\nMention of the First World War will immediately evoke for many people images of trenches\, battle-weary soldiers and poppies. A far less likely image to be evoked is one of thousands of German and Austrian civilians\, of all ages and classes\, incarcerated behind barbed wire on an island in the middle of the Irish Sea. This though was the reality of war for many of the Germans and Austrians living (or even visiting) Britain in the summer of 1914. The internment of civilian ‘enemy aliens’\, most of whom spent some or all of their internment on the Isle of Man\, might easily have become a lost footnote in the history of the First World War. Interest though has grown over the years\, for academics\, local historians and the families of those interned. This talk will look at who some of these internees were and how they lived and coped with ‘living with the wire’ for anything up to 5 years in captivity. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter\n\n\n\nYvonne M. Cresswell retired as Curator: Social History at Manx National Heritage (the Island’s national heritage service) in 2021 after 34 years\, where she curated the social history collections & National Art Collection. Civilian internment during the two world wars has been a major research topic for most of her career\, starting with the exhibition and publication ‘Living with the Wire’ in 1994. Several years spent studying at Leicester University (historical geography\, English Local History & Museum Studies) provided the perfect training for her local history work\, including civilian internment\, on the Isle of Man. \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nThis session will take place via video conference. Please register below. \n\n\n\nAccess details will be sent on the day via Eventbrite to people who have registered.  \n\n\n\nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/civilian-internment-on-the-isle-of-man-during-the-first-world-war-tickets-427822587877\n\n\n\nAbout Vaughan Open Research Forum\n\n\n\nVaughan Open Research Forum is series of talks\, workshops and interactive sessions which are open to anyone who is curious and wants to find out more. \n\n\n\nThemes for sessions relate to our core teaching topics\, arts\, humanities\, social sciences and counselling\, and also discuss adult education and co-operative issues.
