Book Launch - Rob Stothard “What Does a Jew Look Like” -Humanities H0.30Rob Stothard, “What Does a Jew Look Like” "What does a Jew look like?" Well, it's complicated… Too often, the answer seems to be: "Jews wear black hats, black coats and have beards." Of course, some do, but the answer to the question "what does a Jew look like?" is much more complicated – and much more interesting. This book of portraits of British Jews showcases some of the many different ways men and women can be Jewish in Britain today. Alongside the portraits, each subject explains what it means to them to be a Jew. For those who don't know what a Jew looks like – or for those who think they know – the book is designed to surprise, inform and beguile. For those who are Jewish, the book will perhaps introduce parts of the Jewish community that they may not be familiar with." Photographer Stothard will be the inaugural speaker at the new Centre for Global Jewish Studies Everyone welcome |

Caribbean Studies Seminar - Anne-Sophie Bogetoft Mortensen: Tidalectic (E)earth PoeticsOnlineAnne-Sophie Bogetoft Mortensen: Tidalectic (E)earth Poetics
This talk will present an analysis of Trinidadian Jennifer Rahim’s poetic production over the last 20 years as portraying what I will call a (E)earth poetics. In my analysis I aim to demonstrate how Rahim implements three different scales of (E)earthly catastrophes, the local, Trinidadian plantation, the cross-national earthquake, and lastly, the global, planetary concern of C02-emission, and thereby demonstrates how one might read our global climate crisis via the local (hi)stories of her own birth-island.
Anne-Sophie Bogetoft Mortensen is a PhD-fellow in Aesthetic Culture and Intercultural Studies at the Institute of Communication and Arts at Roskilde University, Denmark.
Please note the start time of 6pm for this online talk.
To register your interest for this online talk via Teams, please email the Centre’s secretary, Lisa.D.Cook@warwick.ac.uk by 12 noon, Friday 21st October. |

Research Seminar: 'Queering the Pitch?' Male Survivors and Conflict-Related Sexual ViolenceR2.41 and online via TeamsResearch Seminar: 'Queering the Pitch?' Male Survivors and Conflict-Related Sexual Violence Professor Chris Dolan from the Global Sustainable Development Department will be giving a talk about the multiple ways in which the phenomenon of sexual violence against men - and the realities experienced by the survivors produced by that violence – destabilise established understandings of how such violence works, who is victimized by it, and how and why it needs to be tackled. It then looks at how this destabilisation in turn challenges us to reconsider core assumptions about the relationship between data and intervention. All Warwick staff, students, and alumni are welcome to attend. Register for the event.Link opens in a new window |
