College Record 2014
Naiman (who works on the use of coins within Etruscan sanctuaries) spoke on ‘Proof in Archaeology? The Ramblings of a Madman’. Dr Lucy Bowes presented her important, Leverhulme-funded research on the impact of bullying on child mental health. Again on ‘Childhood’, but from a different perspective, Charlotte Bennett discussed children’s literature of the First World War. Under the title of ‘Empowering Judges over Politicians: Puzzle and Method’, Dr Cristina Parau described her pioneering, interdisciplinary research into the political foundations of constitutional change in Britain. Amanda Frickle, who studies the relationships and interconnections between gender, reproductive rights and criminal justice systems, spoke about the fascinating yet understudied issue of fetal abuse prosecutions in the United States. Finally, Dr Tim Viney presented his ground-breaking research in hippocampal neurons and their roles in behaviour, in particular the activity patterns of identified GABA-releasing neurons in the rodent hippocampus during movement and sleep; and Delphine Fayard spoke about sylphs in French literature as emblems of imagination, desires and dreams. It was decided that, from Michaelmas 2014 onwards, there will be one President’s Seminar each term. The President and the President’s Seminar team are very grateful, as ever, to Louise Gordon, Linda Boerner, Karl Davies, and the Wolfson catering staff, who provide the technical and catering support that ensures the smooth running of the seminars and the enjoyable dinners afterwards. We are also grateful to Juliet Montgomery, who provides administrative support. Above all, we are grateful to our speakers for ensuring that the President’s Seminars continue to be the friendly, intellectually-challenging, and wholly stimulating events that they are intended to be. We welcomed Christine Fouirnaies, Anastasia Tolstoy and Andy Cutts to the organizing group, but Andy is now leaving Wolfson; we thank him for his hard work, imperturbability and good humour.
