Scholars to Flock to First International Meredith Conference
Bishop Grosseteste University in Lincoln will welcome scholars from across the globe during the first international conference on the work of novelist and poet George Meredith this weekend. Part-funded by the British Association for Victorian Studies (BAVS), the two-day conference – George Meredith and His Circle: Intellectual Communities and Literary Networks – will take place on Friday 24th and Saturday 25th July 2015 at BGU. The keynote speaker and newly elected Fellow of the British Academy, Professor Sally Shuttleworth from the University of Oxford, is one of the foremost scholars reaffirming Meredith’s position in Victorian studies. Her current project, The Diseases of Modern Life, supported by the European Commission, continues to enhance the understanding of Meredith’s role in the Victorian age. Organised by Dr Claudia Capancioni and Dr Alice Crossley, senior lecturers in the English department at BGU, the conference is a landmark event in Meredith studies. Dr Claudia Capancioni said: “It is an honour for the university to host the first international conference on George Meredith’s work and critical reputation. The event will highlight debates on the circulation and exchange of ideas between Meredith and his contemporaries. “I’m looking forward to the keynote address by Professor Shuttleworth and am interested to hear the opinions of our visiting scholars as they enthuse about Meredith’s work on this scale.” The conference will bring together established and emerging scholars working on Meredith, and consider more broadly his position at the centre of a wider network of prominent 19th and 20th-century figures, including Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Alfred Lord Tennyson, James Joyce, Henry James, Virginia Woolf, E M Forster and Siegfried Sassoon. As a writer of both the Victorian and Modern periods, Meredith was awarded the Order of Merit and followed Tennyson as President of the Society of Authors. His work remains consistently at the forefront of 19th-century literary studies. As a part of the conference, delegates will be able to visit the archives of the Tennyson Research Centre in Lincoln, where Collections Access Officer Grace Timmins will be curating a mini-exhibition specifically for the event. There will also be a paper presented on the poetry of Meredith and Tennyson in the Tennyson archive exhibition space in the Hardy Building at BGU. During the reception session there will also be a poetry reading by local Pimento Poets, Maureen Sutton and Nic Lance, who will read poems by Tennyson written in Lincolnshire dialect along with their own responses to Meredith's poetry.

BGU Explore New Avenues for International Educational Partnerships
Dr Julia Lindley-Baker, Programme Leader for SENDI at Bishop Grosseteste University (BGU), has been visiting colleagues at the ICES University in France to promote international collaboration and develop student and staff exchange opportunities. Meeting with Diane Nicolas, Director of the Languages Department, and Matthieu Brecville, Director of Relations, along with other staff from across ICES Dr Lindley-Baker explored opportunities for forging partnerships and cultural exchanges. A number of possibilities for BGU students to undertake study with ICES were discussed including Erasmus study placements, traineeships, or subject field study visits. One option that gained particular focus was the residential three week immersion programme run by ICES at their campus in La Roche sur Yon. The course, which offers students the chance to not only learn French but also experience the culture and country, runs in the summer and BGU hope to be able to offer places to students at a substantial discount in the future. Alongside promoting collaboration, the trip allowed Dr Lindley-Baker to experience French Higher Education first hand: “It was great to be able to observe teaching across a range of different subjects but especially getting to see one of the French classes for students on their immersion course. My O'level French, grade B, although quite rusty' came in handy. I am very excited about the future opportunities we may now be able to offer our students.” You can find more information on all the opportunities for exploration offered by the degrees courses at BGU on our website or by talking to our Enquiries Team. -

BGU Ambassadors Discuss International Business during Embassy Visit
Staff and students from the Business (Team Entrepreneurship) course at Bishop Grosseteste University (BGU) were invited to visit the Finnish and Hungarian Embassies in London to discuss opportunities to promote international business initiatives. Chris Jackson, Senior Lecturer and Team Coach on the TE programme, received an invitation from the Finnish Embassy via the regional Honorary Finnish Consul, Camilla Carlbom-Flinn, who is keen to promote the ongoing relationships that BGU’s Business and Enterprise team have built with Finnish organisations. Chris was joined on the visit by his academic colleague Pete Tasi along with students Daria Pipczyenka and Chris Sandham. The main topic of discussion was promoting the forthcoming Team 4 Learning (T4L) event that will be hosted at BGU next February. T4L is an international event that brings together students, team coaches and alumni connected with the Team Academy (Tiimiakatemia) programme (which forms the basis of BGU’s TE course). For next year’s event the team at BGU are planning to broaden the scope to include organisations who are now using Team Academy methods in their everyday business practice. The BGU visitors were received at the Embassy by Special Advisor Minttu Taajamo, who also invited colleagues from the Anglo-Finnish Chamber of Commerce and Business Finland. For Chris the trip offered an exciting opportunity to see representatives from BGU involved at the heart of international cooperation: “Daria and Chris did a first class job as ambassadors for BGU, and represented us well at the Embassy. This was an incredible learning opportunity for them. The Embassy were very supportive and we now need to continue discussions with them to see exactly what this support could look like in practice and how we might be able to collaborate further.” While in London, BGU’s ambassadors were also able to visit the Hungarian Embassy where they met with the Science and Technology attache, who was a colleague of Pete Tasi at the Budapest Business School. A Hungarian national, Pete has joined BGU for a year, to work on both the BA (Hons) Team Entrepreneurship and BA (Hons) Business courses. Pete discussed the positive impact this meeting could have on both the students involved and the wider BGU community: “We encourage our students to get out and meet prospects and build active networks, so it seemed crazy not to make the most of this opportunity and show them the potential of real networking. "We explained about the nature and scope of our work at BGU and it looks as if there are opportunities for us to collaborate further, which is pretty exciting. We already have an invitation to return and meet with some Hungarian start-ups based in the UK at an event organised by the Embassy.” If you’re interested in a future in international business or in starting your own company, our business courses are the perfect path to take. You can find more information on them on our website or by contacting our Enquiries Team. Better yet, why not attend one of our Open Days and experience BGU first hand? -

International Health Expert Looks Forward to Working with BGU
A leading healthcare expert from Australia led two research seminars for staff at Bishop Grosseteste University in Lincoln on Wednesday and is looking forward to future collaborations. Amanda Kenny is Professor of Rural and Regional Nursing at La Trobe Rural Health School, La Trobe University in Bendigo near Melbourne. Her seminars looked at how to build a strong research culture and how co-production can improve understandings in mental health. Co-production is defined as the development of services through equal partnerships between those who deliver services and those who use them. Global mental health policy identifies the need to involve consumers in all stages of healthcare design, delivery and evaluation. “We are very pleased this week to welcome Professor Kenny, who is a world-renowned researcher in mental health and cancer,” said Dr Graham Basten, Head of the School of Social Sciences at BGU. “We recently launched a suite of health and social care courses to complement our counselling and psychology programmes. I am delighted as Professor Kenny is keen to work with BGU and contribute to the research drive to enhance publications, grants and international collaborations in health and social care and with multidisciplinary teams across BGU. “Most importantly our work is in co-production with service users and will make a difference to local communities.” Professor Kenny is widely published internationally and is frequently invited as a key speaker at national and international conferences. Next week she will be chairing a conference on health and social care at the University of Cambridge.
