Professor Judith Squires Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Law WELCOME Ticket registration bristol.ac.uk/thinking-futures 2 THE UNIVERSITY OF BRISTOL’S FESTIVAL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES AND LAW “We live in an era of Localism. Can we change democracy in ways that will enthuse people and encourage them to contribute actively to shaping the future of their area?” Alex Marsh Professor of Public Policy Alex Marsh is Professor of Public Policy and Head of Bristol’s School for Policy Studies. His research expertise in the housing studies field encompasses housing policy and how it contributes to the policy process more widely. He was a managing editor of Housing Studies and continues on the journal’s management board. Since 2006 Alex has worked part- time as a Visiting Academic Consultant to the Law Commission and is a trustee of Brunelcare, where he chairs the Audit and Scrutiny Committee. The future of local democracy Panel Discussion Monday 5 November / p3 DEMOCRACY Ticket registration bristol.ac.uk/thinking-futures THE UNIVERSITY OF BRISTOL’S FESTIVAL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES AND LAW 3 MONDAY 5 NOVEmbER EXHIBITION 12 pm Great Hall, Wills Memorial Building Dressing up and queening it: Queen Elizabeth II, dress, and British public diplomacy A unique poster presentation examining the role of Queen Elizabeth II’s dresses in British public diplomacy. Professor Weldes illuminates the importance of dress in world politics through a thought-provoking and highly accessible diversity of images and narratives. The exhibition looks at dress as a social practice and performance that is central to the constitution of different identities and to the production and dissemination of political meanings, relations, and power. Professor Weldes highlights an intriguing and highly visible aspect of UK domestic and foreign politics that is typically overlooked in the study of politics. The exhibition explores the diverse meanings – political (‘the Monarchy’), economic (‘Brand UK’), and cultural (‘Englishness/Britishness’) – that are represented through Queen Elizabeth II’s dress on state visits and other important occasions. Led by Professor Jutta Weldes This event is repeated on 8 November at 8 Woodland Road FESTIVAL LAUNCH and PANEL DISCUSSION 6 pm Great Hall, Wills Memorial Building The future of local democracy With Bristol about to elect its first mayor, the Festival kicks off with a well-timed look at the state of local democracy. Participation in local elections and other aspects of representative democracy are in decline in many Western democratic countries. In a bid to stimulate engagement local governments have experimented with a range of alternatives to involve residents. Moving to civic leadership by an elected mayor, as Bristol will do shortly, is one key innovation championed for its potential to reinvigorate political engagement. Bristol’s Professor Marsh and Professor Bridge are joined by Professor Copus from De Montfort University in this examination of the broad trends in local democratic practice. This is your chance to debate the challenges and prospects for democratic renewal and increased public participation in local politics. Please note This is a ticketed event. Speakers Professor Gary Bridge and Professor Colin Copus Led by Professor Alex Marsh Introduced by Professor Judith Squires, Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Law Ticket registration bristol.ac.uk/thinking-futures 4 THE UNIVERSITY OF BRISTOL’S FESTIVAL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES AND LAW “ Key to tackling poverty and exclusion is to give people the support they need to deal with it themselves” Richard Pendlebury Chief Executive of Emmaus Bristol Richard Pendlebury has many years’ experience at trustee and senior management level within the charitable sector. He has been involved in founding a number of charities which tackle poverty and exclusion. He is currently the Chief Executive of Emmaus Bristol, a social enterprise which gives homeless people home and work in a community setting. He was appointed MBE in 2009 and is a Deputy Lieutenant of the County and City of Bristol. Poverty and social exclusion: what is the answer? Panel Discussion Tuesday 6 November / p5 POVERTY Ticket registration bristol.ac.uk/thinking-futures THE UNIVERSITY OF BRISTOL’S FESTIVAL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES AND LAW 5 TUESDAY 6 NOVEmbER PANEL DISCUSSION with Q&A 6.30 pm Black Development Agency, Bristol, BS5 9LT Poverty and exclusion: what is the answer? Poverty and exclusion appear to be an intractable issue for many people in society. They frequently live shorter often unfulfilled lives, either without work or experiencing long periods of unemployment. Some end up homeless, alienated from friends and family and with little hope for the future. Worse still, their children are far more likely to find themselves in a similar position perpetuating poverty and exclusion through the generations. Over the course of the evening, David Gordon, Professorial Research Fellow in Social Justice and Richard Pendlebury, Chief Executive of homeless charity Emmaus House explore new thinking about these issues. Please note This is a ticketed event. Speakers Professor David Gordon and Richard Pendlebury NETWORKING LUNCH WORKSHOP 12.30 pm Drawing Room, Royal Fort House 3 pm The Vassall Centre, Gill Avenue Thinking Futures Learning disabilities: networking lunch past, present and future Stakeholders from partner Have your say about what matters organisations across the city for people with learning disabilities and leading researchers from today.

Photograph by the author. 2 AN ATLAS OF POST-REFORMATION PLACES OF WORSHIP WITHIN THE CENTRAL AREA OF THE CITY OF BRISTOL By the 14th century Bristol had developed to be the second largest town in England after London and in 1373 it was incorporated as a county in its own right separate from Gloucestershire and Somerset. It was well- endowed with parish churches and by the end of the middle ages most monastic orders were represented with their specific houses. Bristol was not created a city until the establishment of the diocese of Bristol in 1542 based on the former abbey church of St Augustine. The city expanded increasingly rapidly from the late 17th century and by the mid 19th century had well outgrown the area covered by this atlas.
