Following a very successful event to launch the interim findings of our women and and street harrassment survey, Coventry Women's Voices has teamed up with Coventry Feminists to organise an evening workshop to present the final findings and to discuss how we can deal with the problem of street harassment in Coventry. The workshop will also give members and prospective members of both organisations a chance to meet and get to know each other in a friendly and supportive environment.

This FREE event is open to all women.

IAS Seminar Room, Millburn House

Value, valuing, evaluation are of particular concern in the current economic climate to recession and retrenchment particularly in relation to education and culture. At Warwick this is manifesting itself in a number of areas in teaching, learning and research.

IATL has proposed this speculative lunch to bring together colleagues from across the disciplines, both researchers and teachers, to identify common interests and synergies in the area of value in the widest sense and to scope potential projects which will develop and implement some of the strands of work in which you are involved. Speakers will include Professor David Seedhouse, creator of the Values Exchange software, and the event will be chaired by Dr Paul Taylor, IATL Director.

To register for this event please email Amy dot Clarke at warwick dot ac dot uk, being sure to let us know of any dietary requirements.

Hideouts from Time brings you the MicroCinema, an alternative screening space on campus. The MicroCinema is an intimately sized venue seeking to redefine the way audiences encounter work, interact with each other and gain exposure to new cinematic forms. It is a make-shift structure that strips the cinematic experience to the bare essentials of a set time and space, projection equipment and an audience. By creating a collective experience it looks to confront our age of personal screens and online streaming.

Hideouts from Time are excited to bring you three evenings of fiction film, documentary soundscapes and shorts in the Humanities Studio (Humanities Building):

• Tuesday 12 March, 7.30pm - Strata of Perception
• Thursday 14 March, 6.00pm - HERZOG!!
• Friday 15 March, 7.30pm - Nomadic series

Tickets are FREE, but as there is a limited capacity for each night please email A dot Pearce at warwick dot ac dot uk to reserve a space.

The Warwick Awards for Teaching Excellence give students and staff the opportunity to recognise and celebrate excellence in teaching and the support of learning throughout the nominee's career at the University.

Thank you to all who completed our questionnaire, which closed yesterday, and congratulations to Palwinder Dehill in Sociology, who was the lucky winner of the £50 Amazon voucher.

All the data from the completed questionnaires will be used to make improvements in the Ramphal facilities, to support teachers and students more effectively and to inform the planning of new teaching spaces.

These sessions, open to undergraduates from any institution, will cover:

• An introduction to writing for publication
• Writing for publication in academic journals
• Preparing a manuscript for submission
• The publication process
• Reinvention: an International Journal of Undergraduate Research
• Peer review

Sessions to be held: Wed. 23/1/2013 and Mon. 11/3/2013

Departments and research centres are invited to nominate potential projects which offer undergraduate students the opportunity to gain an insight into research work and to develop their transferable skills. The URSS, sponsored by IATL, provides student bursaries of up to £1,000 to enable undergraduates to undertake a short research project. Apply by 1 February 2013.

The Chemistry departments at Warwick and Monash used the newly installed International Video Portal in the Ramphal building to run an innovative session with students from both universities. Find out more about how video conferencing can help you to teach in new, innovative ways.

If you have taught, attended classes or events in the newly refurbished teaching rooms in the Ramphal Building in the Autumn Term we need your feedback. Complete our questionnaire by Monday 7 January 2013 to be entered into a prize draw to win £50 in Amazon vouchers.

Jure Jerich (Editor) and Megan Roberts (Assistant Editor) spoke at a special event at Australia House in London on Wednesday 31 October 2012 about collaboration with Monash on Reinvention: an International Journal of Undergraduate Research, which is now produced, edited and managed by students and staff at Warwick and Monash.
