Mark Freeman's Professorial Lecture recorded 24th January 2024
Local history has often been marginalised from ‘mainstream’ academic history, but it has flourished in adult education, and has been at the centre of productive interdisciplinary developments in both teaching and research. It has also been a substantial vector of what is now termed ‘impact’, through its ability to engage local communities in inventive and sometimes surprising ways.
In this lecture, Mark discusses the impact of historical pageants on people and places, and the extent to which local historians have participated in it.
Introduction: Professor Li Wei
Respondent: Professor Georgina Brewis

Language, whether spoken or signed, is arguably Homo sapiens’ greatest achievement. Although most children seemingly acquire language without effort, for others the acquisition task is more challenging.
In this lecture, Chloë Marshall will argue that studying these challenges and finding out how learners overcome them informs us about the cognitive processes involved in language acquisition and also informs us about how we can support language acquisition in all learners.

Drawing on twenty years of work within environmental and sustainability education - from research undertaken as a newly qualified geography teacher, through to projects overseen as Executive Director of the UCL Centre for Climate Change and Sustainability Education – Nicola will explore approaches to teaching about climate change and environmental sustainability within schools. She will illustrate children and young people’s conceptualisations of sustainability, highlighting the importance of supporting them beyond simply understanding the science of climate change to developing knowledge and values to help them adapt to a changing and challenging world. Finally, Nicola will propose, based on her seminal Eco-Capabilities project, that arts-in-nature practice has the potential to provide children and young people with multi-sensory stimuli to connect with nature, understand environmental sustainability, and support mental health and wellbeing.

This lecture explores how health professionals work together. It pulls together a decade of observational research of teamwork in operating rooms and intensive care units, highlighting ways in which health professionals engage in concerted efforts to accomplish day-to-day clinical tasks. It draws attention to social practices that facilitate cooperative interventional action, such as the placing of team members around the patient, the mobilisation of attention, monitoring and reading of each other’s bodily conduct and course of action, joint inspection and reading of the patient’s body, passing of objects, calibration of understanding, recruitment and provision of assistance, instruction for action and decision making. The account of these practices is inspired, foremost, by the works of Erving Goffman, Charles Goodwin, and Gunther Kress, who each have developed a rich conceptual apparatus for describing -and thus for scrutinising and appreciating- the fabric of everyday social activit
