SUMMARY:“Dangers and Delusions”? Perspectives on the women’s suffrage movement.
DESCRIPTION:Displaying items from UCL Special Collections\, this exhibition examines the actions and reactions attending the women’s suffrage movement from the 1860s up to the Representation of the People Act 1918. Satirical commentaries including Laurence Housman’s Anti-Suffrage Alphabet are set alongside campaign literature and petitions for and against legislative change. \nThe movement calling for women’s right to vote in the United Kingdom was drawn out over several decades and generated intense differences of opinion\, not only between those for and against electoral equality\, but also within pro- and anti-suffrage campaigns. This exhibition draws on items held in UCL Special Collections – satirical commentaries\, campaign literature\, personal notes and petitions – to examine the actions and reactions surrounding the case for universal suffrage\, from the 1860s up to the fi rst legislative step towards equality for women: the Representation of the People Act\, 1918.

SUMMARY:Knowledge Quarter Science and Innovation Audit Final KQ-Wide Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The Knowledge Quarter has been selected as one of the third wave of Science and Innovation Audits. These are sponsored by government (BEIS) and their purpose is to investigate innovation capabilities and potentials in different parts of the UK. \nOur focus is on three main Themes (Life Sciences; Cultural\, Scientific and Heritage Collections; and Data Science) in a core geography that is defined as Camden and Islington. In this context\, we are seeking to evidence our major assets and opportunities. Some of these are obvious and well-known (e.g. Francis Crick Institute\, Alan Turing Institute\, British Library\, etc.) – but we think there are many firms and other (less well-known) organisations that are active in these fields\, and crucially\, that the links between organisations/firms hold particular potential in terms of future innovation. This part of central London is (rightly) being described as an innovation district – but through the SIA\, we need to evidence its expertise\, capacity and potential. \nWe would like to invite you to our second and final KQ-wide workshop which is being held on the 5 April at the British Library. We will present the first results of our SIA and discuss with partners potential recommendations and next steps. \nThe workshop will be interactive and (we hope) enjoyable. We hope very much that you will be able to come. \nClick here to book your place via Eventbrite.

SUMMARY:Knowledge Quarter Private View: The People in the Gallery and Made in North Korea
DESCRIPTION:The Knowledge Quarter is delighted to invite staff from Knowledge Quarter organisations to the next in our series of private breakfast views. It will be on this occasion hosted at House of Illustration\, where you will get to view two new exhibitions. KQ staff and partner organisations will have the opportunity to have an exclusive look at The People in the Gallery\, the final exhibition by their Illustrator in Residence Christy Burdock and Made in North Korea: Everyday Graphics from the DPRK; the House of Illustration’s blockbuster exhibition. \nAbout Christy Burdock: The People in the Gallery \nChristy Burdock’s work tells the complex story of the everyday; she immerses herself in microsocieties then layers her studies with metaphor and imagination. This exhibition will feature House of Illustration visitors\, staff and artists in large-scale observations of her six months spent as Illustrator in Residence. \n“Burdock’s drawings immediately struck me with their sense of narrative and atmospheric rendition. I was engaged by the groups of figures which are mysterious but believable like people in dreams. Delicate and unusual colour is used to good effect in a personal way.” Chloe Cheese \nAbout Made in North Korea: Everyday Graphics from the DPRK \n“A rare glimpse into an isolated graphic culture” Financial Times\n“Offers a new perspective by looking at everyday life there” Design Week \nHundreds of original objects including food packaging\, ticket stubs and stamps\, together with hand-painted propaganda posters and comics\, give an unprecedented insight into everyday life in the DPRK. The exhibition displays the collection of Nicholas Bonner\, the foremost expert on North Korean graphic culture\, tourism and film\, who has led tours to the country for 25 years. \n“This collection represents common objects given beautiful status by the hand-drawn graphics from North Korea’s most creative designers. Some of the work is elaborate but the basic designs too should not be overlooked – minimalistic simplicity creating beautifully rhythmic artwork.” Nicholas Bonner \nRegister via Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Degree Apprenticeships: A social mobility opportunity?
DESCRIPTION:AccessHE is pleased to open registration for the third event in the London Student Outcomes series – Degree Apprenticeships: A social mobility opportunity?  \nSupported by the University Vocational Awards Council (UVAC) the event will be chaired by Dr Darryll Bravenboer\, Director of Apprenticeships and Skills at Middlesex University. \nAre Degree Apprenticeships the key to “smashing the Level 3 glass ceiling” of apprenticeships? Can they offer debt-free progression to higher level jobs for learners from disadvantaged backgrounds and deliver a real widening of participation in higher education? Or should we be concerned about who might be missing from new uses of levy funds? This event will explore these questions and more by sharing emerging best practice in this area\, bringing together employers\, universities and other organisations to explore some of the key challenges and opportunities for promoting social mobility through Degree Apprenticeships in London. \nSpeakers \nWe look forward to welcoming Sarah-Louise Collins and Stella McKnight from the University of Winchester to present an update on their HEFCE Degree Apprenticeship Development Fundproject looking at enhancing social mobility through Degree Apprenticeships. Other speakers will be confirmed soon. \nAccessHE will present research on Degree Apprenticeship provision and uptake in London\, and there will also be an opportunity for discussions about the challenges facing the capital in trying to connect social mobility and Degree Apprenticeships together. \nWho should attend? \nWe anticipate attendees will include those in business development\, employer engagement\, student recruitment and widening participation within higher education institutions\, as well as employers and other organisations with an interest in this area. We hope the event will inform new collaborative work in 2018-19 to address Degree Apprenticeship opportunities in London. \nAttendance is FREE for AccessHE members and £25 for non-members. \nThis is the third event in the AccessHE London Student Outcomes series\, exploring four key emerging themes in widening participation across the full student lifecycle. The final event in the series will look at post-HE progression for learners from under-represented groups. Please visit the link above for more information and to register your interest in attending. \nIf you have any questions\, please don’t hesitate to contact Sam Turner\, AccessHE London Programmes Coordinator\, at sam.turner@londonhigher.ac.uk. \nClick here to book for this event.

SUMMARY:500 years of medicine. The future: The end of AIDS is up to us
DESCRIPTION:Join the Royal College of Physicians for a special free lecture\, part of the season marking its 500th anniversary\, reflecting on the history and future of medicine\, society and health.\nIn this event\, Dr Nneka Nwokolo focuses on the advances made in the diagnosis\, prevention and treatment of HIV over recent years\, and how these major changes have not yet entered the public’s consciousness. \nToday\, people who receive effective treatment are not infectious and unable to pass the virus on to others\, including sexual partners and unborn babies. Meanwhile\, the availability of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)\, medication taken by people at risk of catching HIV\, has had ground-breaking effects on transmission in many parts of the world. \nWhilst stigma and availability of services remain major issues\, the means are now in place to halt the spread of the virus and ensure that people with HIV have life expectancies comparable to the general population. \nDr Nneka Nwokolo is a consultant physician at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital where she trained in Sexual Health and HIV Medicine. Her research interests include the prevention of HIV transmission\, and she has been involved in initiatives that have resulted in a significant reduction in HIV diagnoses in men who have sex with men in London. She is also interested in the sexual and reproductive health of women\, and particularly HIV positive women. She is a passionate advocate for women’s access to HIV prevention strategies including HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). \nDr Nwokolo will argue that the end of AIDS could be within reach\, but success lies in our hands. \nProgramme \n6pm – Arrival refreshments (tea and coffee)\n6.30pm – Lecture starts\n7.30pm – Lecture finishes \nSpaces at this event and the others in the 500th series are strictly limited and we anticipate them booking out well in advance. \nRegister via Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Knowledge Quarter: Community Champions Launch
DESCRIPTION:The Knowledge Quarter (KQ) would like to invite you to the launch of the Community Champions project. The launch event will bring Knowledge Quarter partners together with local charities and community groups based across Camden and Islington\, to encourage partners to develop collaborative projects around the themes of youth\, employability\, environment\, wellbeing and nexus. This project has initially been developed by KQ Community Engagement sub-group in discussion with community representatives\, however the launch brings the opportunity to share the programme more widely. \nKQ Community Champions aims to increase community participation and involvement with the resources of Knowledge Quarter partners. Over the next year the goals are to bring together organisations working in similar themes in community engagement\, to catalyse mutually beneficial networking and partnerships within the area. Come to the launch to hear more; you will hear case study examples of existing great practice in community-KQ partnerships\, and meet people from charities and KQ partners\, who work in the area. You can find out about the scope of the theme areas\, and register your organisation to be involved in events focussed on each theme. \nWe will also be asking for input from attendees to shape the skills covered by capacity building workshops which will take place during the year. \nRegister via Eventbrite
