      <description>The Barber Institute of Fine Arts is to host the UK premiere of In the Footsteps of the Argonauts, a powerful historical documentary that follows the fortunes of the Greeks living on the Black Sea, with particular emphasis on the City of Trebizond.

In regular performances with major orchestras, recitals in the world's music capitals, and acclaimed recordings, he has won a large and devoted following. His performances consistently receive the highest praise; the New York Times reflects the widespread feeling that 'it is virtually impossible to walk away from one of Mr Goode's recitals without the sense of having gained some new insight, subtly or otherwise, into the works he played or about pianism itself'.The Barber Concert HallTickets: £12, £9 concessions, £6 Barber Friends, £3 studentsTo book over the telephone, call the Box Office on 0121 414 7333, or you can purchase your tickets in person at the Barber reception desk.

      <title>Critical Realism, Interdisciplinarity and Well-being: A Guest Lecture by Professor Roy Bhaskar</title>
      <link>http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/oncampus/lectures/Roy-Bhaskar-Guest-Lecture.aspx</link>
      <description>Contemporary critical realism is a philosophical approach developed by Roy Bhaskar which underpins a commitment to human emancipation. His work has sought to transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries and fixed methodological positions, and provides a framework for bringing together our understanding of explanatory mechanisms that may be operating at different levels (or scales) of reality.</description>

      <link>http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/news/events/2011/06/UKFILMPREMIEREIntheFootstepsoftheArgonauts.aspx</link>
      <description>The Barber Institute of Fine Arts is to host the UK premiere of In the Footsteps of the Argonauts, a powerful historical documentary that follows the fortunes of the Greeks living on the Black Sea, with particular emphasis on the City of Trebizond. Trebizond (Trabzon in modern Turkey) was not only the longest surviving of the Byzantine successor states, but also a symbol of the Greek communities which have lived and thrived on the shores of the Black Sea since the 8th century BC.</description>

In regular performances with major orchestras, recitals in the world's music capitals, and acclaimed recordings, he has won a large and devoted following. His performances consistently receive the highest praise; the New York Times reflects the widespread feeling that 'it is virtually impossible to walk away from one of Mr Goode's recitals without the sense of having gained some new insight, subtly or otherwise, into the works he played or about pianism itself'.The Barber Concert HallTickets: £12, £9 concessions, £6 Barber Friends, £3 studentsTo book over the telephone, call the Box Office on 0121 414 7333, or you can purchase your tickets in person at the Barber reception desk.

      <title>The Faces Behind the Name: A Look at the Lives of Sir Henry and Lady Barber</title>

      <description>Lunchtime LectureWednesday 8 February, 1.10 - 2pmThe Barber Lecture TheatreThe Barber Institute of Fine ArtsAdmission FREEThe Faces Behind the Name: A Look at the Lives of Sir Henry and Lady BarberThe Barber Institute of Fine Arts owes its existence to the vision of Dame Martha Constance Hattie Barber (1869–1933), pictured (left) in a portrait by James Jebusa Shannon from 1912. She was the daughter of a wealthy Worcestershire businessman, Simon Onions, who, after an education at Cheltenham Ladies College married the Birmingham solicitor and property developer, William Henry Barber (always known by his second name). Henry proved a highly successful developer, making his fortune in the expanding suburbs of Birmingham and by his mid thirties he and Lady Barber were able to retire to Culham Court, an 18th-century estate in Oxfordshire. However, the couple maintained a close contact with Birmingham, Henry was an original subscriber to the endowment fund set up by Joseph Chamberlain to establish the University of Birmingham, and he went on to endow chairs of Law and Jurisprudence, eventually becoming a Life Governor. In 1924 Henry received a baronetcy 'for political services to Birmingham' and he died three years later.Before his death, Sir Henry and Lady Barber had discussed establishing a permanent contribution to Henry's home city, and Lady Barber ensured that this idea came to fruition, founding the Barber Institute in 1932. She died, childless, four months later, leaving the entire Barber fortune to the Trustees of the Institute to enable the construction of a new building, the development of the art collection and the funding of public concerts.As the Barber approaches its 80th anniversary, Jesse Campbell, research intern and Masters student from the University of Utrecht, has been taking a closer look at the lives of Sir Henry and Lady Barber. Her search has taken her as far afield as Belgium, where she read through 60 letters Lady Barber wrote to artist Nestor Cambier. The Belgian is thought to have painted Lady Barber over 25 times, with 18 of these in the Barber collection, and due to be highlighted in an exhibition about her life in the gallery at the end of this year.This Lunchtime Lecture will offer an illuminating insight into the lives of the founders of the Barber Institute, bringing to light new information discovered by Jesse over the last few months.</description>

      <link>http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/schools/education/events/2013/03/george-watley.aspx</link>

      <title>Options for conserving agrobiodiversity in a rapidly changing climate: adaptation or extinction?</title>
      <link>http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/schools/biosciences/news/2013/seminar-070213.aspx</link>
      <description>Agrobiodiversity – traditionally grown varieties of crop plants or landraces, and wild species related to crop plants, represent a valuable economic resource for future crop improvement. They contain genes that are increasingly used to develop new varieties of crops. Important issues are the extent to which this resource is protected, how it is protected and whether it will survive rapid climate change to provide the genes to combat the stresses of global warming. Will extinction be the outcome, or adaptation to a changing world?</description>

      <link>http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/schools/ptr/events/cadbury2013.aspx</link>
      <description>The Edward Cadbury Lectures come from an endowment from the Cadbury Family to the University of Birmingham for an annual series of lectures open to the public on the history, theology and culture of Christianity. The first Cadbury Lectures were delivered in 1948 by the historian Arnold Toynbee, followed by a succession of eminent scholars from around the world. Our theme for 2013 is Religion out of the box: Dialogues with academy, society and culture, and will consist of a series of weekly events.</description>

      <description>The Ninth Cadbury Conference features cross-disciplinary South Africanist research that resonates with African Studies more broadly and that models new ways of looking at South Africa and other parts of Africa together, thereby critically interrogating South African exceptionalism. Presenters will be reflecting originally and comparatively on topics including: the technologies, institutions and ideologies of governance and opposition; representations of South Africa past and present in film and creative writing; aspects of Zulu history; and the experiences and representations of immigrants and sexual minorities.</description>

He will consider how organisations have responded to the challenges posed in seeking both equality of opportunity and equal and fair treatment for Black and minority ethnic communities. He will argue that while there have been some historical strides, today race equality and social justice remain widely misunderstood and increasingly marginalised within political thinking.</description>

      <title>First Annual Lecture of the Centre for Research in Race and Education</title>
      <link>http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/schools/education/events/2013/05/first-annual-crre-lecture.aspx</link>
      <description>Lord Herman Ouseley will give the First Annual Lecture for the Centre for Research in Race &amp; Education. He will discuss the changing nature of racism and discrimination in the UK over the past 50 years.  He will consider how organisations have responded to the challenges posed in seeking both equality of opportunity and equal and fair treatment for Black and minority ethnic communities. He will argue that while there have been some historical strides, today race equality and social justice remain widely misunderstood and increasingly marginalised within political thinking.</description>
