Times of Transition
Ritually celebrated yet sometimes invisible, momentous and gradual, buoyed by hope and laced with loss – our lives consist of a series of transitions, transformations in our bodies and relationships, our identities and our place(s) in the world. This extended seminar explores questions of time, transition and creativity in three phases of the life-course – old age, adulthood, and early adolescence. Speakers at this workshop are: François Matarasso, arts researcher, writer and Honorary Professor at the Centre .for Cultural Research, Griffith University, Australia: ‘Winter Fires;’ Elizabeth Sharp, Associate Professor, Human Development and Family Studies, Texas Tech University, USA: ‘I’m a Loser, I’m Not Married, Let’s Just All Look at Me: Women’s Experiences of Missing the Marital Transition’ and Mike White, Research Fellow in Arts & Health, and Mary Robson, Associate for Arts in Health and Education, Centre for Medical Humanities, Durham University: ‘Roots and Wings - Celebrating Transition in Schools.’ This workshop is open to all.

States of Rest
Time is often studied and conceptualised in ways which emphasise dynamism, flow and movement, the labours of attention, striving and growing. But what of those aspects of our corporeal existence which appear to depart from these concepts and notions? What is happening – existentially, ethically, and neurologically – during states of rest? And how, methodologically, might we best explore such states? Speakers for this workshop are: Paul Harrison, Lecturer in Geography, Durham University: ‘The Subject of Passivity;’ Daniel Margulies, Neuroanatomy and Connectivity Research Group Leader, Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive & Brain Sciences: ‘Giving the Brain a Rest’ and Felicity Callard, Senior Lecturer in Social Science for Medical Humanities, Durham University: ‘Wandering Minds.’ This workshop is open to all.
