SUMMARY:Liverpool Exchange: Mass Media\, Fake News
DESCRIPTION:Mass Media\, Fake News and the Origins of Terrorism \nTerrorism is not new ‒ it has existed for as long as journalists have sensationalised bombings and political assassinations. Drawing on his latest book\, The Rise of Devils: Fear and the Origins of Modern Terrorism\, Dr James Crossland explains where our understandings of what constitutes a terrorist comes from and why the role played by the media in shaping these understandings is as important today as it was over a century ago\, when the first wave of terrorist attacks sent a wave of fear across Europe (including Liverpool) and the United States. \nCopies of Dr Crossland’s book will be available for sale and signing during the event. \nDr James Crossland is a Reader in International History\, whose present research interests lie in the history of terrorism\, societal fear\, intelligence and propaganda. He is Co-Director of Liverpool John Moores University’s Centre for Modern and Contemporary History and Postgraduate Coordinator for the School of Humanities and Social Science.

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. To book for this event please contact Dr Michelle King\, or liaise with the Concierge. \nThis event is being co-hosted by the Athenaeum\, Liverpool Exchange Rotary Club and Merseyside Expressive Stitchers’ Group (formerly Merseyside Embroiderers’ Guild).

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
