Professor Marina Wallace personally invites you to her Professorial Platform Lecture event, on Thursday 23 May at 18:30
Professor Wallace will be introduced by Professor Martin Kemp FBA, Emeritus Professor in the History of Art at Trinity College, Oxford University.
This lecture is mainly based on Professor Wallace’s research for Volume X of La Cultura Italiana published by UTET in 2010. The volume is in Italian and, by translating it, Professor Wallace can now share it with colleagues, students and friends. The relationship that each citizen has with his/her own country and culture is mediated by personal experiences matured during a lifetime. It is a delicate task to identify what motivates the consciousness of “insiders” of a culture whilst, at the same time, stimulating the interest of outsiders. To be able to observe the prodigious artistic production of one’s own country from the point of view of another culture and another genetic material offers fresh cues. Curiosity, prodded by geographical and physical distance, helps to identify in a schematic way those characteristics that define a country’s visual culture in a decisively distinctive way.

New Talent Day – for emerging international journalists and filmmakers
The London College of Communication is hosting a free event for student journalists and filmmakers, as well as emerging professionals, titled the New Talent Day.
The event will focus on creative, innovative ways to tell international stories, particularly stories from the developing world. It will feature experienced media professionals, including people who commission content, discussing their work and answering questions.
The event is being run by the charity One World Media, as part of the Beyond Your World project, which is inspiring the next generation of journalists in Europe to cover global issues.
You can register for free here: http://newtalentday.eventbrite.co.uk/.
Speakers will include Seyi Rhodes, award winning journalist and filmmaker and regular reporter for Channel 4’s Unreported World; Andrea Thompson, Features Director at Marie Claire; and the team behind the acclaimed BBC Two film Toughest Place to be a Binman, in which a London binman went to Indonesia to find out about the lives of people doing the same job in Jakarta.
On the day there will also be the opportunity to pitch brief ideas for creative ways to cover international stories.
One World Media is a charity that promotes media that contributes to global dialogue and understanding, human rights and development. It has run a number of events at LCC before, including a showcase evening for student media about international stories. Read more: www.oneworldmedia.org.uk.

NO CHURCH IN THE WILD: ANARCHY AND VISUAL CULTURE
PROF. JUDITH HALBERSTAM
This event is a CCW Graduate School Public Research Platform
In No Church in the Wild: Anarchy and Visual Culture, Jack Halberstam will talk about her new book on “The Wild”, where Halberstam turns to anarchist thought to elaborate a queer politics and aesthetics for this particular moment of crisis and renewal. Occupy movements and other global expressions of radical dissent have signaled widespread discontent and new art responds to the challenge of thinking otherwise.
The talk will be followed by an ‘in conversation’ with Dr Stephen Wilson.

How does PR respond to and use disruption – hear from academics and practitioners and embrace disruption by attending “face-off” debates and getting your hands dirty with practical sessions.
PR professionals and academics are invited to attend ‘PR and Disruption: Embracing and Managing Change’, a one-day, low-cost conference exploring the knowledge, strategies and skills needed to communicate successfully in contemporary society being held in central London on 10th July 2013.
The conference, curated by PR academics at the London College of Communication, will feature keynote presentations, case studies and a series of debates by leading international practitioners and scholars. In addition, delegates will have the chance to learn key disruptive PR skills through a range of practical workshops, including app development, creating infographics and film-making.
Confirmed speakers include:
• Oyvind Ihlen – Professor of Media and Communications, University of Oslo and internationally renowned and prize winning academic
• Nic Newman – Digital strategist and fellow at Oxford University’s Reuter’s Journalism Institute
• Dom Burch – Head of Social Media, Walmart-UK
• John Shewell – Founder and MD at Colab and ex-Head of Communications, Brighton and Hove Council
• Drew Benvie – Founder and MD, Battenhall and ex-CEO, Hotwire
• Paul Seaman – MD of West PR-Seaman and PR blogger
• Tom Allan – International Campaigns Manager, ActionAid
Each speaker has been selected according to their expertise in one of following areas of PR and disruption and will explore one of the following areas:
• Disruptive skills for effective PR: what is required by a PR practitioner in a world of business disruption? Should they be creative, be able to write well but think visually, be curious, challenging and radical but supportive, empathic and corporate?
• PR and disruptive media: in a digital media age PR must evolve to deal with multi-media communication across multiple platforms. What does this new ‘media ecosystem’ look like and how can we deal with it?
• Disruptive PR and society: how does PR best support management by helping the senior team to disrupt and rethink organisational conventions in order to survive the rapidly changing societal and cultural landscape
The event will conclude with networking and drinks among delegates and a wider group of London College of Communication PR alumni. A full itinerary for the day can be downloaded here.
Costs have been kept low to help drive engagement with what the organisers believe to be a range of key challenges and opportunities for the future of PR.
