March 02, 2016 CRASSH Seminar: 'Head Space, Physical Place and Social Transformation' (audio)
This was an event in the ‘Subversive Good’ CRASSH series held on Tuesday 1 March 2016.
Speakers:
- Dr Michelle Ellefson (Psychology and Education)
- Dr Tatiana Thieme (Human Geography)
- Dr Ben Crewe (Criminology)
This seminar will consider how we create ‘spaces’ of physical, social and cognitive transformation. What are the contexts where transformations might be embedded? How might physical, social and cogntive spaces related to each other? Tatiana Thieme (Human Geography) will consider the role of human spaces, especially urban ones where there is a high level of poverty. Michelle Ellefson (Education, Cognitive Psychology) will consider the role of specific aspects of cognition, especially those where the environment impacts their cognitive and neuro-cognitive development. Ben Crewe (Criminology) will consider the role of the physical, psychological and social with reference to his research on how people cope with the impacts of long-term imprisonment.

February 16, 2016 CRASSH Seminar: 'Legal Harms and the New Politics of Resistance: Examining the Juridification of Social (in)justice, Legitimacy, Violence and Extremism'
Legal Harms & the New Politics of Resistance: Examining the Juridification of Social (in)justice, Legitimacy, Violence and Extremism
Extremism and surveillance are top of the global political agenda. How do state responses to harm shape contemporary culture, and relate to interpersonal violence and resistance? To help us ponder these questions, in a series of four presentations, Eva Nanopoulos (Law) and Loraine Gelsthorpe (Criminology), problematise the ways in which the legal system can both cause and prevent 'harm'. Ryan Williams (Divinity) draws on his analysis of prisoner heirarchies in high security prisons in England to discuss how faith is used as a route to resistance, and Amy Nivette (Sociology) reflects on the relationship between state legitimacy and interpersonal violence.
- Dr Eva Nanopoulos (Law): 'The Prevent Strategy'
- Dr Ryan Williams (Divinity): 'Islamic Piety and the Subversive Good in Maximum Security Prisons'
- Professor Loraine Gelsthorpe (Criminology): 'Imprisonment of Women'
- Dr Amy Nivette (Criminology): 'Legal Harms, Delegitimization, and Violence'
The presentations are followed by a group discussion with the speakers.
