SUMMARY:In Conversation with Professor Lucy Easthope: UK's leading disaster planner
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening in conversation with Professor Lucy Easthope\, world-leading authority on recovering from disaster. \n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\nProfessor Lucy Easthope lives with disaster every day. When a plane crashes\, a bomb explodes\, a city floods or a pandemic begins\, she’s the one they call. \nLucy has been at the centre of the most seismic events of the last few decades\, advising on everything from the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami to the 7/7 bombings\, the Christchurch earthquake in New Zealand\, the Grenfell fire and the Covid-19 pandemic. In every catastrophe\, Lucy is there to pick up the pieces and prepare for the next one. She holds governments to account\, helps communities rally together\, returns personal possessions to families\, and holds the hands of the survivors. \nIn her moving Sunday Times bestselling memoir “When The Dust Settles Stories of Love\, Loss and Hope from an Expert in Disaster”\, Lucy reveals what happens in the aftermath of a disaster and explores how we pick up and rebuild with strength and perseverance. She takes us behind the police tape to scenes of destruction and chaos\, introducing us to victims and their families\, but also to the government briefing rooms and bunkers\, where confusion and stale biscuits can reign supreme. Telling her own personal story\, Lucy looks back at a life spent on the edges of disaster\, from a Liverpudlian childhood steeped in the Hillsborough tragedy to the many losses and loves of her career. \nLucy’s book will be available for purchase and signing at the event. \nThe Athenaeum’s Dining Room is taking pre-bookings for dinner following the talk. This requires a separate booking and information will be sent with your confirmation email. \n  \nMembers of The Athenaeum can book now through the Members’ Area or through reception. Non-Members are asked to book via https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/in-conversation-with-professor-lucy-easthope-uks-leading-disaster-planner-tickets-367623500787  \n\n\nThis event is organised by The Exchange – public conversations about the important issues of our age. We encourage debate and the sharing of opinions and experiences in a welcoming and respectful environment. It is our belief that through the ongoing exchange of ideas we can achieve a greater knowledge and understanding\, and that this benefits both the individual and society as a whole.

SUMMARY:Literature Group: What's My Line?
DESCRIPTION:What’s My Line? \nFor the October meeting we are asking members to come armed with a favourite quotation or two. Many thanks for the idea to Mike Shankland\, who explains the concept: \nI love the quote from Act 3 of The Merchant of Venice: \n  \n“Here are a few of the unpleasantest words \nThat ever blotted paper.” \n  \nNevertheless\, we all have lines which chime with our lives\, growing in significance as the years pass. A chat up line I first used at 18 still works for me! \n  \n“Hade we but world enough and time\, \nThis coyness\, lady\, were no crime.” \n  \nAnd when I was a kid Horatio got my attention: \n  \n“Lars Porsena of Clusium\, \nBy the Nine Gods he swore \nThat the great house of Tarquin \nShould suffer wrong no more.” \n  \nI didn’t know a Tarquin from a penguin but I was caught up in the drama\, and we all agree with Jane Austen: ‘The sooner every party breaks off the better’\, and with Saul Bellow: ‘If I am out of my mind it’s all right with me.’ \nNow I won’t quote any more ( and these aren’t necessarily my favourite quotes) but would you like to bring a ‘mighty line’ or two and explain briefly what they mean to you? \nIf you are very brave you could write the quote on a piece of paper and the group could try to guess who chose that example. \nJust a bit of autumnal fun!

SUMMARY:Presidential Dinner: 'Why Biodiversity Matters'\, Dinner with Dr Richard Lane OBE
DESCRIPTION:Biodiversity is all around us\, sometimes closer than you think. We are in a ‘biodiversity crisis’ and losing biodiversity at a rate comparable to the past mass extinctions of the past. In this talk Dr Richard Lane OBE examines why we should take this crisis so seriously from biodiversity’s significant impact on our health and well-being\, agriculture and food security to the stability and resilience of the ecosystems in which we live. Alongside self-interest\, there is a wider issue of how we share the planet.   \nDr Richard Lane OBE is a scientist whose career has had two themes – biodiversity research and the health of developing countries. He has had a lifetime interest in what was once just called ‘Nature’. He has travelled extensively in tropical countries\, researching how insect borne diseases are transmitted and advising governments on disease control then funding global health research at the world’s largest medical research charity. He returned to the Natural History Museum in London as Director of Science\, one of the leading institutes exploring the biodiversity of planet Earth. Most recently he has been developing science museums in Asia and the Middle East.   \nJoin us in the Newsroom from 6:30pm for a reception drink ahead of Dr Lane’s presentation at 7:00pm. Three course dinner will follow at approximately 8:00pm \n£30.00 per person.

SUMMARY:Liverpool Salon Presents: Practical Utopias
DESCRIPTION:‘Practical Utopias’ is the latest in a series that takes the theme of utopia as a way of exploring possibilities of building other\, better\, societies while reflecting on the shortcomings of our own. \nJoin Kevin Bean\, Heather Alcock and Mick Owens to talk about three idiosyncratic practical utopias: the Chartists’ Land Plan\, Port Sunlight and the 2012 Olympic Park. \nThe discussion begins in the nineteenth century\, a particularly fertile time for social experimentation in England\, with a look at two very different attempts at improving the lives of working men and women in a rapidly industrialising economy: the Chartist Land Plan\, with its vision for extending democratic rights to working men and Port Sunlight\, one man’s vision for an ideal factory town built in an arcadian and utilitarian form. Coming right up to date\, we look at the Olympic Park regeneration as a promised transformation in East London from post-industrial dystopia to family friendly utopia. \nCan practical development and planning bear the weight of political visions and dreams of perfection? What compromises have to be made between pragmatism and utopianism or between freedom and social engineering? Are utopian dreams suitable mechanisms for political transformation or distractions from ‘real politics’? Can they deliver all the benefits that they promise or are they always doomed to disappoint? \nSpeakers \nKevin Bean \nKevin worked as a lecturer in Irish Politics at the Institute of Irish Studies\, University of Liverpool for eighteen years and continues to work as a writer and researcher. His interests include the history of British Labour movement and he is the author of The New Politics of Sinn Féin (2007). He writes on British and Irish politics in a variety of magazines\, newspapers\, and books as well contributing to radio and television discussions on these issues. \nHeather Alcock \nHeather is a PhD researcher at University of Liverpool\, studying the global value of Port Sunlight as a heritage site and influential utopian settlement. Heather has twenty years’ experience in the research\, analysis\, adaptive use\, restoration and sustainable management of listed buildings and conservation areas in the USA and UK. Her current research has supported Port Sunlight’s bid to the United Kingdom’s Tentative List for World Heritage Site inscription. \nMick Owens \nBorn and bred on the Wirral\, Mick worked for the Mayor of London\, where he played a senior role in planning and development\, including in the preparation for the 2012 London Olympic bid. Now a researcher\, writer and lecturer\, his new book\, Play the Game\, captures the drama of the Olympic bid and tells the story of the regeneration in the words of those involved. \nThe Liverpool Salon has been hosting public discussions around philosophical\, political and cultural topics on Merseyside for over seven years. Join us at Liverpool’s historic Athenaeum club for Practical Utopias\, the second in a new series of public conversations that take utopia and dystopia as themes for exploring the possibilities of building other\, and better\, societies\, while reflecting on the shortcomings of our own. \nThe talk is available to Members for £8.00 per person. \nWant to continue the conversation over a post-event dinner? The Dining Room will be open for pre-bookings following the event\, book your place now via the Concierge (concierge@theathenaeum.org.uk)\, three-courses are available for £25.00 per person. \n

SUMMARY:International Women's Week - Sreepur Village
