This will be a hybrid event, and you can choose to attend virtually via the registration form. The Microsoft Teams link will be sent to you before the event. With public trust and confidence in the UK police at a historic low, amplified by individual instances of police brutality and malpractice and by the findings of systemic racism and discrimination in the recent Casey Review, we ask firstly how we might understand policing – as an organisation, as a ‘culture,' as a set of practices and technologies; and secondly how we might seek to effect change in policing practice going forward - embedding learning, sharing best practice, and drawing on innovative arts-informed interventions. Register to attend!

Engage new audiences of all ages with the wonders of mathematics by joining our training to become a maths busker. Maths busking is the art of using street performance that surprises and delights passers by with entertaining routines deep rooted in maths.

Increasingly, researchers are required to engage in public engagement activities, presenting and talking about their research to a range of non-specialist audiences. In this session, you will begin to think about how to present your work to audiences, highlighting the best, most interesting elements, and getting others excited about your research. If you have a public engagement activity in mind, or if you’re considering further research funding which has engagement requirements, this will be a great starting point.

This session will be led by Ellie King, Doctoral Researcher of Visitor Experience and evaluation in museums, and fellow of Warwick’s Institute of Engagement.

What is culture, and how do cultural practices shape inclusion and exclusion? 

Join us for an evening of open panel discussion with three leading academics as they discuss cultures of belonging across time, place and context.

The open panel discussion will be accompanied by an art showcase by the poet, musician and artist Sujatha Menon in collaboration with digital artist Paul Windridge as they bring to life and celebrate the many fascinating projects that the Connecting Cultures GRP has funded over the past academic year. The event is followed by a drinks and nibbles reception.

Registration is required.

Talk Title: 'Responding to the vague, impulsive elephant in the room: ADHD and the justice system'

Abstract: A quarter of incarcerated people in the United Kingdom (UK) are estimated to have attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), 5-10 times the prevalence in the general population. ADHD is also known to be associated with educational disengagement, substance use and domestic violence. This paper draws on examination of every case finalised in the Supreme Court of the Australian Capital Territory in 2021, which revealed that ADHD was mentioned in 15% of all criminal cases (n=34). In many cases, however, discussion of their ADHD was perfunctory, with little insight into how it might be relevant to their offending and/or sentencing. The paper reaffirms the need for improved awareness, diagnosis and treatment of ADHD, from primary school, across the broader community, and throughout the justice system. The paper also draws on recent developments in UK and Australia to highlight why the correctional system provides a vital opportunity for intervention, which is likely to reduce reoffending. Increased understanding of ADHD may also help shift public attitudes towards drug use and addiction.
