Little gems around the place

Writing about web page http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/wbs/projects/kcn/seminars/prusak.mp3

Thanks to the impending iTunes U thingy I’ve been trawling the nether regions of the Warwick website uncovering interesting audio and video files that have been published in academic departments. It’s largely interesting stuff but some of it is genuinely exciting. I won’t reference the stuff on Perspectives on the War on Terror as I knew about this one a long time ago ( you should go listen – it’s all in the Law site). However, I uncovered this on the Knowledge-sharing Communities and Networks site and it’s fascinating stuff:

Larry Prusak is a globally recognised authority in the field of knowledge management . He received the Lewin Award from Organization Science and Work Frontiers International has named him as one of the ten most admired knowledge leaders in the world. His books include Working Knowledge. See below for an audio recording of the talk.

It roves all over the shop but there are so many interesting ideas and perspectives that it is a great listen.

Sharia and English law

Writing about web page http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/newsandevents/audio/

I had a very interesting discussion with Professor Shaheen Ali this morning on the current debate around the place of ‘Islamic Law’ within the UK legal framework following Dr Rowan Willams’ comments.

The podcast is a bit longer than normal, but probably worthwhile as Shaheen has some really interesting opinions on the current debate as well as giving some really useful contexts for considering the issues.

It's back! Writing Challenges series 2

Writing about web page http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/newsandevents/audio/more/writingchallenges

Writing Challenges is back with series 2 of David Morley’s podcasts on creative writing.

David is concentrating on writing fiction this term. We explore the motivations for writing, style, character, points of view and revisions.

Anyone who is interested in creative writing should find these interesting – that book inside you might even get written!

Here is Series 2 episode 1 – The House of Fiction:

Short history of symmetry – the last episode

Writing about web page http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/newsandevents/audio/more/symmetry/?podcastItem=symmetry7.mp3

The last episode of a short history of symmetry has been published completing the 7 show series.

I really enjoyed these and hope that those who have listened to them did so too.

Thanks to Ian Stewart for working on this project.

Will@Warwick episode 2

Just thought I’d give a quick mention of the 2nd episode of Will@Warwick. Two reasons for this

1. Lenny Henry is in it
2. Our very own Bardathon blogger, Peter Kirwan, starts what I hope will be a regular column talking about Shakespearean matters.

Plus – don’t forget Ian Stewart on The History of Symmetry – http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/newsandevents/audio/more/symmetry/

Will@Warwick – new Shakespeare podcast

Writing about web page http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/newsandevents/audio/more/will/

Following on from the History of Symmetry comes the other podcast project I have been working on – Will@Warwick. This is a podcast drawing on Shakespeare research from across the University, bringing in insights from other experts and hopefully providing interesting insights into the works.

The first episode revisits the interview with Jonathan Bate on the Complete Works and also features an interview by Dominic Dean with the American artist Greg Wyatt who is the sculptor responsible for the statues in the New Place garden in Stratford upon Avon.

Future episodes will feature:

Lenny Henry and Barrie Rutter on Othello
Producing Shakespeare for the German theatre
Peter Kirwan on bardathon
Self-help and Shakespeare

And much much more!
