SUMMARY:International Women's Week - Sreepur Village
DESCRIPTION:In 1990 Ruby Porter\, MBE visited Sreepur Village\, which is the only project in Bangladesh offering safe haven and livelihood training to single mothers and their children. Ruby was shocked by the primitive accommodation and conditions of the village where there were 600 children and 100 destitute mothers. At her own expense\, she returned with seven suitcases of threads and fabric donated by members of the Merseyside Embroiderers’ Guild. Since that first visit\, Ruby has returned to the village 47 times! She has raised money to develop sewing rooms\, weaving sheds and to provide vocational training for mothers and girls to work in the local garment industry. Sreepur Village is becoming increasingly well known for empowering mothers and their children; transforming their lives with independence\, confidence and dignity\, giving them hope for a brighter future. Ruby’s work is now being continued by her daughter Janette. \nThis fundraising event includes a talk by Ruby’s daughter and Sreepur trustee\, Janette Porter. There will also be an exhibition and sale of artworks including textile\, embroidery and paintings\, a sales table\, raffle and a 2-course lunch. £25 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: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:Literature Group: Gone With the Wind
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 7th February 2023 – Library Reading Room \nDiana Lane will be discussing Gone with the Wind\, a novel by Margaret Mitchell\, was published in 1936 and subsequently made into a film in 1939. The book has been an American bestseller ever since and in 2014 a Harris poll found it to be the second favourite book of American readers\, just behind the Bible. It has been absorbed into American popular culture\, referred to and interpreted by scholars at American universities. The film has been considered to be one of the greatest movies ever made. \nSet in Georgia during and after the Civil War\, this work of historical fiction tells the story of Scarlett O’Hara\, the daughter of a well-to-do plantation owner\, who uses every means at her disposal to claw her way out of poverty following Sherman’s destructive “March to the Sea”. Its themes resonate in American politics to this day. \nAttendance is free of charge.

SUMMARY:Liverpool Salon Presents - Dreams of Order
DESCRIPTION:Dreams of Order \nThe Athenaeum club\, Reading Room\, Thursday 26th January 2023\, 6.30-8.00 pm \nJoin the Liverpool Salon for the second in a series of 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. \nWriting in 1939\, E.H. Carr laid the blame for the “abrupt descent from the visionary hopes of the first post-war decade to the grim despair of the second” on the utopian illusions that a liberal world order of prosperity and progress would usher in a new era of international cooperation and world peace. \nHas history repeated itself in the post-Cold War period\, which pronounced the ‘end of history’ and the dawn of a new post-political world in 1989? Blindly believing that an infinitely expanding market could be the foundation of an interconnected world order\, have liberal utopians once more been sleepwalking into a dystopian future? \nConfirmed speakers: \nPhilip Cunliffe\, senior lecturer in international conflict\, author\, The New Twenty Years’ Crisis 1999-2019: A critique of international relations; co-host\, @Bungacast podcast \nCheryl Hudson\, lecturer in US political history\, University of Liverpool. Former director of the academic programme at the Rothermere American Institute\, University of Oxford.
