Our programme addresses wide- ranging issues, from poverty and social exclusion to the implementation of human rights, from the challenges of global insecurities to those of enhancing educational quality. I hope that you will join us at the events throughout the week, sharing in our celebration of social sciences. Professor Judith Squires Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Law welcome

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

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.
