A Festival of Ideas
Edge Hill University launches its
first Festival of Ideas in 2016 with a
diverse range of events exploring
culture, health and society. The
main theme is Imagining Better –
envisioning ways for communities,
arts and healthcare to develop and
flourish, even in times of austerity
and inequality.
Imagining Better will be a festival of
creative thinking for challenging
times, making space for crucial
conversations and new ideas for the
arts, healthcare and public policy.
An exciting collection of talks,
exhibitions, films and performances
will explore issues such as children’s
rights and citizenship, arts and
social justice, innovative strategies
for current healthcare issues, racism
in sport, cultural identities and
much more.
The Edge Hill Festival of Ideas has
been inspired, in part, by the work of
the internationally respected
cultural theorist Stuart Hall and
builds on the University’s tribute to
him on the occasion of his death in
2014. A key part of Hall’s work and
his contribution to ideas and the
academy was his invitation to think
in a multi- or inter-disciplinary way,
and to encourage critical thinking
and questioning.

Imagining Better has been
programmed by Edge Hill
University’s three research
institutes:
The Institute for Public
Policy and Professional
Practice (I4P)
Cross-disciplinary research and
knowledge exchange
The Institute for Creative
Enterprise (ICE)
Connecting the University to the
creative industries
The Postgraduate Medical
Institute (PGMI)
Driving improvements in health
and social care
and includes the University’s Spring
Programme of Professorial lectures
and a strand of arts activity.

The Role and Relevance
of Psychology in Today's World
Professor Jamie Hacker Hughes,
President of the British Psychological Society
Few, if any, disciplines other than
psychology span the period from
before conception to after death,
embracing all the interactions that
humans have with their environment
between those two milestones.
Professor Jamie Hacker Hughes will
discuss the many facets of this
fascinating discipline, both pure and
applied. Tracing the beginnings of
the subject to the beginning of last
century, the many specialist areas
which have developed since then will
be explored, and numerous
examples illustrated showing the
relevance of psychology to
today's world.
Professor Hacker Hughes, 81st
President (2014-5) of the British
Psychological Society, is a
Consultant Clinical Psychologist,
Psychotherapist and Clinical
Neuropsychologist. He has worked
in the field of psychotraumatology
for 20 years.
Professor Hacker Hughes has
published widely with nearly 100
peer-reviewed papers, books, book
chapters and conference papers and
he has lectured on his specialist field
of psychological trauma around the
world. He is known for trying to
make his subject area accessible to
all and easily understood with
frequent appearances in the media
as well as features in a plethora of
national radio programmes and
newspapers.

The Art of the Demographic Dividend
© Succession H. Matisse/ DACS 2015
Professor Desmond O'Neill,
When students troop into my
introductory lecture on geriatric
medicine, they are generally
surprised that the first slide is Henri
Matisse's The Snail (1953): radical,
vibrant, and witty, it does not quite
conform to their preconceptions of
medicine with older people. The
second slide, of the 83-year-old
Matisse in a wheelchair, provides
the context: his later life not only
provides surprising developments
in his art, but it occurs in the face of
significant disability. Indeed,
Matisse's response to illness illustrates
not just his resourcefulness, but also
the role of adversity in sparking
personal growth.
Des O’Neill
This event presented in Tate
Liverpool as part of our corporate
partnership. The audience will have
private access to Matisse in Focus
exhibition including a rare
opportunity to see The Snail
outside of London.
Professor Desmond O'Neill's work
on Neurosciences and Ageing
focuses on stroke, in particular
recovery following stroke, as well as
prediction of fitness to drive
following stroke and dementia.

Close to Home:
Between the Tides
Karen Shepherdson
Talk: Wednesday 24th February, 6.00pm
Visual catalyst for my work
resides in my environment. I live
and work on the Isle of Thanet. My
home is built on the cliffs - I am a
coastliner - and the sea and the
shoreline are a vital part of my
daily experience. Critical to my
practice is working close to home
and being part of Thanet's diverse
and complex coastal community.
Along the UK's Isle of Thanet coast
is the extraordinary Walpole Bay
tidal pool. This pool, some four acres
in size, provides a free space for
people to gather, to swim, to forage
and fish.
The exhibition will feature images
from a long-term photographic
project which includes documenting
coastal communities of Thanet and
in particular the sea bathers of
Walpole Bay.

Karen Shepherdson is Reader in
Photography at Canterbury Christ
Church University, where she directs
the South East Archive of Seaside
Photography and co-directs the

Workshop: Thinking outside of the box
– ideas, multi-disciplinarity and
collaboration in health research
Professor Sally Spencer,
Professor Sally Spencer is Director
of Clinical Research at the PGMI.
Sally took up the current post at
Edge Hill University in Autumn
2015 with the aim of developing,
supporting and enabling research
activity within the Faculty of Health
and Social Care, and across the
wider University, through
collaboration with external public
and private sector organisations
relevant to healthcare.
The aim of the workshop is to
facilitate cross-fertilisation of ideas
by bringing together researchers
from diverse academic backgrounds
to identify opportunities for
collaboration on projects of mutual
interest and benefit. The session will
introduce the concept of broad
interdisciplinarity from the
perspective of health research. The
main workshop will involve small
group discussions around the topic
of knowledge exchange, supported
by session facilitators.
The workshop will include attendees
from a number of external
organisations involved in the
development and delivery of
healthcare. Academic staff
interested in engaging in
collaborative research are welcome
to attend, irrespective of direct
relevance to health.

I4P Third Annual Lecture:
Inequality: The Enemy Between Us
Professor Kate Pickett,
University of York
Comparing factors relating to health,
education, crime and community, it
is clear that societies which tend to
do well on one of those measures
tend to do well on all of them, and
the ones which do badly, do badly on
all of them. Why?
The key is the amount of inequality
in each society. The picture is
consistent whether we compare rich
countries or the 50 states of the
USA. The more unequal a society is,
the more ill health and social
problems it has.
The data show that even small
differences in the amount of
inequality matter. Material
inequality serves as a determinant of
the scale and importance of social
stratification. It increases status
insecurity and competition and the
prevalence of all the problems
associated with relative deprivation.
Particularly important are effects
mediated by social status, friendship
and early childhood experience.
However, although the amount of
inequality has its greatest effect on
rates of problems among the poor,
its influence extends to almost all
income groups: too much inequality
reduces levels of well-being among
the vast majority of the population.
Kate trained in biological
anthropology at Cambridge,
nutritional sciences at Cornell and
epidemiology at UC-Berkeley. She is
currently Professor of Epidemiology
in the Department of Health
Sciences, University of York

Pitch Black:
The Story of Black British footballers
Emy Onuora, author Pitch Black: The Story of Black British footballers
Peter Hooton, writer and vocalist of Liverpool-based group The Farm.
Edge Hill University’s Institute for
Public Policy and Professional
Practice (I4P) welcomes Emy
Onuora to discuss his new book,
‘Pitch Black: The Story of Black
British footballers’ with Peter
Hooton, writer and vocalist of
Liverpool-based group The Farm.
When Paul Canoville took to the
pitch for Chelsea in 1982, he was
prepared for abuse. When the
monkey chanting and the banana
throwing started, he wasn't
surprised. He wasn't prepared,
however, for the abuse to be coming
from his own side.
Canoville was the only member of
the team whose name was booed
instead of cheered, the only player
whose kit wasn't sponsored. He
received razor blades in the post. He
took to waiting two or three hours to
leave the ground after a match,
fearing for his safety. So minimal
was the presence of black players in
the game, the few who managed to
break through were subjected to the
most graphic abuse from all sides.
Today, 30 per
cent of English
professional
footballers are
black, and
amongst their
number are some
of the biggest
heroes of the
beautiful game.
But just how far have we come?
With unprecedented access to
current and former players, Emy
Onuora charts the revolutionary
changes that have taken place both
on and off the pitch, and argues that
the battleground has shifted from
the stands to the board room.
In this fascinating new book, Onuora
critically scrutinises the attitudes of
FIFA, the FA and the media over the
last half-century, and asks what is
being done to combat the subtler
forms of racism that undeniably
persist even today. Featuring
startling revelations from all levels
of the footballing fraternity, Pitch
Black takes a frank and controversial
look at the history of the world's
most popular sport – and its future.

Childhood Studies, Childhood Sociology
and Social Justice
Professor Tom Cockburn,
Childhood Studies provides a multidisciplinary and comprehensive
approach to studying children. This
holistic study of children has a long
history and underlies a great deal of
the work at Edge Hill University.
Recently, influenced by the sociology
of childhood, the child has shifted
from being an object of research to
being subjects in their own right.
This has happened at the same time
as the growth of children’s rights
and the inception of the United
Nations Convention on the Rights of
the Child in 1989.

Professor Tom Cockburn will
critically reflect on the contribution
that childhood studies has made to
social justice. He will discuss the
challenges to an inter-disciplinary
childhood studies in the twenty-first
century, if it is to be critical of the
social inequalities and injustices
experienced by children in the world
today. He will do so by reflecting on
children’s citizenship, children’s
rights and social justice both in the
UK and abroad.
Professor Cockburn joined Edge Hill
in February 2014 as Head of Social
Sciences in the Faculty of Arts and
Science. He has previously worked
at Manchester Metropolitan
University and the University of
Bradford. He has spent over 20
years researching children, youth
and childhood and is well published
in both national and international
journals, his book Rethinking
Children’s Citizenship was published
in 2013.

In Conversation
with Jonathan Coe
A brutal family dynasty shows
its staying power in this state-ofthe-nation satire that takes in
reality TV, wealth inequality, the
death of David Kelly and giant
spiders... Angry, bleak, preoccupied
with establishing occult power
connections to the extent that it
would easily earn its place on a
shelf of “paranoid fiction”, Number
11 is undoubtedly a political novel.
It is also an interrogation of the
purposes and efficacy of humour in
exposing society’s ills, and a spoof
on horror B-movies...
The Guardian
Number 11 is Coe’s sequel, of sorts,
to his 1994 What a Carve Up!, his
extraordinary piece of social satire
which uses the story of a powerful,
wealthy and ruthless family, the
Winshaws, to expose the excesses
and evils of all aspects of Thatcherite
Britain.
Photo: Valeria Cardi
Multi award winning novelist,
Jonathan Coe discusses his latest
release Number 11, which was
published on the 11th day of the 11th
month, 2015 and was also Coe’s
eleventh novel.
What Coe satirically captures is the
gaping chasm between the two
distinct worlds of the haves and the
have-nots in an era of austerity,
exposing the mantra of “we’re all in
it together” in the absurd culture of
the super-rich.
Jonathan Coe will be in conversation

Disruptive change:
A Social Good or a Waste of People’s Lives?
Professor Carolyn Kagan,
Professor Carolyn Kagan will reflect on
some of the themes running through
her work as a community social
psychologist since the mid-1970s,
from both an academic groundings
and in partnership and collaboration
with those most affected by the wider
social forces and policy changes.
Professor Kagan will draw on work
which has included people with learning
difficulties and their families; people
living poverty; the nature of work
and its fit with family and community;
arts and human flourishing; people
living amongst urban regeneration;
community organising and people
on the brink of forced labour.
As well as her role as Visiting
Professor of Edge Hill University,
Professor Carolyn Kagan is a
registered Counselling Psychologist
and qualified social worker. She
worked at Manchester Metropolitan
University from 1976 to 2014 most
recently as Professor of Community
Social Psychology and Director of
the Research Institute for Health

an Emerita position there. Her work
and publications have ranged from
the contextual nature of
interpersonal skills, to organisation

Universities and Communities:
Together, Tethered, or Torn
Dr. Tom Bryer,
School of Public Administration, University of Central Florida
Professor Bryer will introduce the
idea of the integrated university
from his book Higher Education
beyond Job Creation: Universities,
Citizenship, and Community.
Universities have multiple, often
competing obligations to create jobs
and build skills for existing jobs,
disseminate knowledge from
original research, and cultivate
active citizens. Advocates of each
different role sometimes feed the
competition and facilitate conflict by
disparaging the value of the other
roles. If properly integrated, the
outcome can be stronger
communities around our
universities, with citizens prepared
to pursue the good life for
themselves and others around them.
Critical to this role integration is a
strong and strategically aligned
relationship with the community, as
a whole, and with individual
stakeholders within the community.
Professor Bryer will outline three
points on a continuum of universitycommunity relations, and present an
argument to cultivate relationships
that are tethered in some areas of
operation but merely together in
many other areas.
Examples will be drawn from the
United States, such as from Bryer's
own Centre for Public and Nonprofit Management and from the
"Delaware Model" at the University
of Delaware. Examples will also be
drawn from the United Kingdom,
with reflection on recent reports and
recommendations about UK
research councils and teaching
excellence in UK universities.
Additional examples will be drawn
from other European institutions
that will allow for expanded
reflection on civics, diversity, and
economics within the span of
university concern.

Room 21 is on the second floor of a
London, UK care home. Over the
years it has been occupied in turn by
Peter, Shirley and Frances, all of
whom had a diagnosis of dementia.
Central to the narrative biography of
each of the three residents is a
European city where he or she lived
decades earlier. For Peter, it is
wartime Amsterdam; for Shirley,
post-war Berlin, and for Frances, the
most recent occupant,
Czechoslovakia during the Prague
Spring of 1968. Andrea’s research
explores the intersections between
these historically ‘wounded cities’
and the experience of living in a
present-day care home.

Alzheimer's and Other Dementias:
Progress and Challenges in Research
Dr. Simon Ridley,
Director of Research, Alzheimer's Research UK
Dementia is a truly global health
issue, affecting 44million people
worldwide. There are 850,000
people living with dementia in the
UK today. By 2025 the number is
expected to rise to over one million
and by 2050 it is projected to exceed
2 million. (Alzheimer's Research UK)

symptoms including memory loss,
mood changes, and problems with
communication and reasoning. This
public lecture with guest speaker Dr
Simon Ridley includes a presentation
around key challenges and progress
in dementia research from both a
scientific and research perspective,
including areas such as
epidemiology and risk reduction,
dementia pathologies, new drug
targets, trials and treatments, and
biomarkers.
Viewed by some as having fewer
opportunities in academia, this
discussion will explore how
dementia research capacity and
initiatives, alongside the funding
landscape (UK and global) can
be supported.

New British Cinema:
A Resurgence of Independent Cinema?
Professor Jason Wood
Artistic Director for Film at HOME
Jason Wood is the Artistic Director
for Film at HOME, Manchester's
new centre for international
contemporary arts, theatre and film,
and also Visiting Professor at the
Manchester School of Art.
Jason will introduce and discuss his
recently published book, New
British Cinema - From Submarine to
12 Years A Slave published by Faber
in November 2015 and co written
with Ian Haydn Smith. The book
argues that there is a resurgence of
British film making currently under
way, bolstered by the arrival of a
new wave of independent cinema.
Wood's industry roles in
distribution, sales, Festivals and
exhibition at Picturehouse and
Curzon Cinemas give his insights a
fresh authenticity and a rounded
perspective.
New British Cinema singles out
2009 as a pivotal year, when an
unusual number of important
British films debuted in cinemas and
at Festivals. A single most
heartening argument in the book is
the prevalence of female directors
within this new wave of UK
independent cinema.

Strategic leadership for the management
of emergency services: case for a new
research agenda
Professor Paresh Wankhade,
The emergency services (ambulance,
police and fire & rescue) impact on
everybody at some time in their life.
The need to manage risk to life,
health and property (including the
public awareness of risk and
responsiveness) makes it imperative
to have a comprehensive understanding
about these organisations. It is vital
to analyse the contexts in which
these services operate and the key
organisational and management
challenges they face.

Professor Paresh Wankhade’s
inaugural lecture will draw on the
current state of management
research on emergency services
highlighting a ‘theory-practice’
divide which has resulted in a ‘silo’
approach to the development of
academic and professional expertise.
The lecture will also address the
fragmentary nature of the
emergency community while
highlighting the challenges faced by
individual services to argue the case
for a new research agenda.
Professor Wankhade joined Edge
Hill University in September 2014 as
Professor of Leadership and
Management in the Business School.
His research and publications
currently focus on analyses of
strategic leadership, organisational
culture and organisational change
with a special focus on ‘blue light’
emergency services management.
He regularly chairs specialist panels
promoting strategic leadership in
emergency services at international
management conferences and is the
Editor-in-Chief of the International
Journal of Emergency Services.

Portraits of British Muslims
Monday 14th March
to Friday 1st April
9.00am – 6.00pm
weekdays
Zahir Rafiq
He has worked with organisations
such as South Yorkshire Police to
produce artwork for a poster
campaign and also participated in a
national exhibition for Islamic
Awareness Week, on the theme of
“Your Muslim Neighbour”. He
believes art can be used to increase
tolerance and understanding
between people from different
cultural backgrounds. This was
evident when he worked in
partnership with the Rotherham
Tourist Initiative to hold the first
exhibition of Islamic art within a
Christian Church at All Saints in
Rotherham shortly after the events
of 9/11
Photo: I am Omar 2014 Oil on canvas
Zahir Rafiq is an artist from South
Yorkshire. He specialises in
contemporary Islamic art where he
fuses traditional Islam motifs with
western artistic styles. With this
approach he sought to express not
only a new way of looking at Islamic
art, but also his own identity as
someone being brought up as a
Muslim in Britain.
Zahir is currently working with
Sheffield University exploring the
theme of British Muslim identity
trough portraiture as part of the
Imagine Better Futures Project. He
will paint subjects that depict the
present day British Muslim
community as well, challenging
misconceptions and exploring
generational differences.

If integration is the answer, what was the
question? What next for health
and social care partnerships.
Professor Jon Glasby,
University of Birmingham
Integrated care is a key policy
priority, and has been crucial to
recent developments such as NHS
England’s Five Year Forward View,
the Better Care Fund and debates
around the regional devolution of
health spending. However, greater
integration has been a longstanding
priority, and we have discussed
many of these issues before. Against
this background, this lecture reviews
the recent policy context (including
both opportunities and challenges)
and explores the underlying
evidence base around ‘what works in
partnership working’.
Jon is Head of the School of Social
Policy at the University of
Birmingham and Professor of Health
and Social Care. A qualified social
worker by background, he is
involved in regular research,
teaching, consultancy and policy
advice around health and social care
partnerships, community care and
personalisation. He is Editor-inChief of the Journal of Integrated
Care and a Non-Executive Director
of Birmingham Children’s Hospital.
He has provided policy advice to the
Department of Health, the Cabinet
Office and Downing Street on the
future of health and social services,
and from 2003 to 2009 was the
Secretary of State’s representative
on the Board of the Social Care
Institute for Excellence (SCIE). He
is currently a Senior Fellow of the
UK School for Social Care Research
and a Fellow of the Royal Society of
Arts and of the Academy of Social
Sciences.
