And what a night it was! For this concert, they performed a programme of popular Valentine- themed favourites and were accompanied by the Choir of Royal Holloway, under the leadership of Rupert Gough, and the renowned pianist Malcolm Martineau. The packed hall also delighted in several love-themed readings by Dame Felicity’s husband, the actor Gabriel Wolf. Susan, Sarah and Dame Felicity are Honorary Fellows of the College and have all sung at the leading opera houses of the world. Dame Felicity is renowned for performing French and German song, Susan Bullock is in great demand as one of the world’s leading Wagnerian sopranos and Sarah Fox is performing in Carmen at the Royal Opera this year. This was an evening that will live on in the popular memory of the College for many years to come.

  • The Leveson Inquiry Into the Cultures, Practices And
    For Distribution to CPs THE LEVESON INQUIRY INTO THE CULTURES, PRACTICES AND ETHICS OE THE PRESS WITNESS STATEMENT OE JAMES HANNING I, JAMES HANNING of Independent Print Limited, 2 Derry Street, London, W8 SHF, WILL SAY; My name is James Hanning. I am deputy editor of the Independent on Sunday and, with Francis Elliott of The Times, co-author of a biography of David Cameron. In the course of co-writing and updating our book we spoke to a large number of people, but equally I am very conscious that I, at least, dipped into areas in which I can claim very little specialist knowledge, so I would emphasise that in several respects there are a great many people better placed to comment and much of what follows is impressionistic. I hope that what follows is germane to some of the relationships that Lord Justice Leveson has asked witnesses to discuss. I hesitate to try to draw a broader picture, but I hope that some conclusions about the disproportionate influence of a particular sector of the media can be drawn from my experience. My interest in the area under discussion in the Third Module stems from two topics. One is in David Cameron, on whose biography we began work in late 2005, soon after Cameron became Tory leader. The second is an interest in phone hacking at the News of the World. Tory relations with Murdoch Since early 2007, the Conservative leadership has been extremely keen to ingratiate itself with the Murdoch empire. It is striking how it had become axiomatic that the support of the Murdoch papers was essential for winning a general election.

    MWIAMWIA 100100 MEDICAL WOMEN: AMBASSADORS OF CHANGE IN A CHALLENGING GLOBAL WORLD JULY 25-28, 2019 | BROOKLYN BRIDGE MARRIOTT | NYC 1 2 Cover Art: Karen Poirier-Brode MWIA PRESIDENT Dear Congress Attendants from All Over the World, It is my great pleasure and honor to serve as MWIA president for the last three years, and at this centen- nial celebration, I welcome you all to MWIA´s Centennial Congress in New York. This Congress will celebrate our achievements as medical women in MWIA over the past 100 years! The theme of the Congress is “Medical Women: Ambassadors of Change in a Challenging Global World,” bridging the past with the present and moving into the future! The theme is very timely, since the specific challenges to women´s health are manifold: e.g. deprivation of women’s rights in many so- cieties, lack of access to health care, socioeconomic, cultural, and political factors. Medical women and national medical women’s associations play an important role in tackling those problems. I am looking forward to fostering dialogue and exchanging ideas with all of you here in New York. MWIA is greatly indebted to the American Medical Women´s Association (AMWA) for hosting this Centennial Congress and making it a memorable event for all of us! Thank you! Being MWIA’s president will always have a special place in my heart and I want to thank you for supporting me, trusting me, and working together with me to make MWIA even stronger. In sisterhood and respect, Bettina Pfleiderer, MD, PhD President, Medical Women’s International Association Dr.

  • 3 July 2019 Royal Holloway, University of London
    60th Annual Conference 1 - 3 July 2019 Royal Holloway, University of London Welcome and acknowledgments On behalf of the Society for French Studies, I am delighted to welcome all of you to our Annual Conference, this year hosted by Royal Holloway, University of London. Today's Royal Holloway is formed from two colleges, founded by two social pioneers, Elizabeth Jesser Reid and Thomas Holloway. We might note with some pleasure that they were among the first places in Britain where women could access higher education. Bedford College, in London, opened its doors in 1849, and Royal Holloway College's stunning Founder's Building was unveiled by Queen Victoria in 1886 – it’s still the focal point of the campus, and we shall gather there for a reception on Tuesday evening. In 1900, the colleges became part of the University of London and in 1985 they merged to form what is now known as Royal Holloway. We hope that this year’s offerings celebrate the full range of French Studies, and pay tribute to the contribution that is made more widely to Arts and Humanities research by the community of students and scholars who make up our discipline. We are especially pleased to welcome delegates attending the Society’s conference for the first time, as well as the many postgraduate students who will be offering papers and posters and colleagues from around the world. We are very excited to be welcoming the following keynote speakers to this year's conference: Kate Conley (Dean of the Faculty of Arts & Sciences, Professor of French and Francophone Studies, William and Mary); David McCallam (Reader in French Eighteenth-Century Studies, University of Sheffield); Pap NDiaye (Professeur des universités à l'Institut d'études politiques de Paris, Histoire nord-américaine, Sciences-Po); and Mairéad Hanrahan (Professor of French, University College London and former President of SFS).

Its contributors have all been variously embedded in the cultural, intellectual and political life of the city over many years: they know of what they speak. Freedom—unlike poetry and prose—does not just happen anywhere. Indeed, it is the case that, although men may be born free, they are too often in chains. Freedom has to be won, sustained and protected. It is always at risk, the fact as well as the word. The argument of this irresistible volume is that, as a city and area, Hull has a proud and distinctive history of resisting forms of oppression, of using an angular independence of thought to challenge the orthodox and of fghting for principles and practical change. Why should this be so? The introduction suggests that it may have had something to do with Hull’s relative isolation and the space it affords for thought.

  • Gerard Hoffnung
    Gerard Hoffnung Gerard Hoffnung est un musicien et dessinateur allemand, né le 22 mars 1925 à Berlin et mort le 25 septembre 1959 à Londres. Tubiste de formation, il est surtout connu pour ses œuvres humoristiques et ses caricatures. Gerard Hoffnung Sommaire 1 Biographie Naissance 22 mars 1925 2 Œuvres musicales Berlin 3 Bibliographie Décès 28 septembre 1959 (à 4 Discographie 34 ans) 5 Liens externes Londres 6 Source 7 Notes et références Nationalité Allemand Activités Caricaturiste, écrivain Formation Highgate School Biographie Né à Berlin dans une famille juive aisée, il quitte l'Allemagne avec ses parents en 1939 pour Londres. Il y suit les cours de la Highgate School pendant que son père part s'occuper d'affaires bancaires en Palestine (cette séparation temporaire deviendra finalement définitive du fait de la Seconde Guerre mondiale). Non mobilisable en raison de ses origines germaniques, il est employé dans une laiterie avant de devenir professeur de dessin à la Stamford School en 1945. Il commence à publier des caricatures dans différents journaux et écrit des chroniques radiophoniques pour l'émission dominicale, One Minute Please. Il épouse en 1952 Annetta Bennett, qui veillera à la promotion de l'œuvre de son époux après sa mort prématurée. Hoffnung meurt en effet d'une hémorragie cérébrale en 1959 à 34 ans, après avoir occupé deux décennies à une quantité considérable d'activités comme - entre autres - celles de caricaturiste, tubiste, impresario, producteur de radio et conférencier, notamment pour les Oxford et Cambridge Union Societies. En tant que caricaturiste, il est l'auteur d'une série de recueils de dessins humoristiques se moquant gentiment des chefs d'orchestres et des instrumentistes.
