Sorry, this video requires the use of functional cookies which you have not consented to use. Change your cookie settings or watch the video on the provider's website

How do landscapes make us feel and why? Why do we find certain landscapes attractive? What makes us value one view above another? And how do we feel when those views change? Landscapes are experiencing huge changes due to a range of influences, including climate change, societal development and increasing urbanisation. Professors Ruth Swetnam and Fiona Tweed share their research on the nature of our relationships with landscape and why it is important to assess and monitor landscape quality and landscape change in a rapidly evolving world.

Harry Potter meets the Marvel Cinematic Universe: franchise storytelling & the building of storyworlds from (comic) book to theme park experience Associate Professor Alke Groppel-Wegener takes us on a magical adventure from the pages of a book to fully immersive lands.

'The Show Must Go On' by Dr Robert Marsden, Associate Professor of Acting and Directing. The old adage that ‘theatre is dying’ has been proved a myth. In this lecture, Rob argues that theatre has merely evolved, through the creative endeavours of those who make theatre, driven by audiences who have a need for stories.

In England alone, an attempted ban by the Bishop of Lincoln in 1244, the Puritanical laws of the 17th Century, wars, pressure groups, plagues and pandemics have not stopped storytelling in shared spaces.

The first part of this talk Professor Christopher Gidlow, Professor of Applied Health Research and Associate Professor, will introduce the social determinants of health, in particular, the potential role of natural environments, before considering one of the most extreme forms of inequality: homelessness.

In the second part of the talk Associate Professor Aoife Healy, Associate Professor of Human Movement Biomechanics, will explore inequalities in health care access. The global prevalence of non-communicable diseases (e.g. diabetes) is rising steadily; linked to population growth, ageing of populations and lifestyle changes associated with urbanisation. Many of these people need access to mobility assistive products to allow them to actively participate in society. It is estimated that only 1 in 10 people in need has access to prosthetic and orthotic mobility assistive products.
