SUMMARY:BSUFN launch of Hastings Bites Back project at the Hastings Herring Fair
DESCRIPTION:The Brighton and Sussex Universities Food Network (BSUFN) will showcase their newly-developed techniques for collaborative cultural and social research in Hastings. \nAbigail Wincott from the University of Brighton in Hastings and Bella Wheeler from the University of Sussex will be joined by members of the Brighton Unemployed Centre Families Project\, who have recently completed a 12-month research project on narratives of food poverty. Their exhibition ‘Art on the Breadline’ will be at the Stade Hall on the seafront during the Hastings Herring Fair\, from 31 October to 1 November. \nOn 31 October\, members of the public will be able to try out creative research activities involving collage\, mind-mapping and a ‘props’ box\, developed by the Arts and Humanities Research Council’s Connected Communities project and similar projects. The aim of the activities is to encourage visitors to propose food research topics and to pose questions they feel strongly about. \nFor more information on the project and to sign up to be part of it\, go to: http://bsufn.com/2015/09/21/hastings-bites-back/ \nFor more information on the Herring Fair event:  http://bsufn.com/2015/09/30/hastings-herring-fair/ \n

SUMMARY:2015 Fred Sanger Lecture: “‘EAT. DIE.’ The Domestication of Carcinogens in the 1980s”
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to announce details of the 2015 Fred Sanger Lecture\, which will take place on Weds 4th November 2015\, 6.30pm in the Henry Wellcome auditorium\, Wellcome Collection\, London. The lecture will be given bv Angela N. H. Creager\, Thomas M. Siebel Professor in the History of Science\, Princeton University. \nIn the two decades following the 1962 publication of Silent Spring\, the US government sought to regulate environmental pollutants in the name of controlling human cancer. The development of short-term tests for mutagens promised an inexpensive\, rapid way to identify carcinogens among the tens of thousands of chemicals on the market. However\, by the 1980s\, findings from these rapid\, in vitro mutagenicity tests corroded these hopes. On the one hand\, it turned out that some chemical carcinogens were not also mutagens\, and thus escaped detection in these tests. On the other hand\, many natural substances\, such as compounds in foods and beverages—as well as products of normal metabolism—proved to be mutagenic. Related advances in understanding DNA damage led biologists increasingly to regard cancer as a by-product of aging. A public anxious about the dangers of contaminating pesticides and food additives was confronted with the message that the natural components of the human diet were already carcinogenic. In turn\, antiregulatory interests (especially chemical companies and conservative politicians) seized on the emerging complexities of controlling human exposures to mutagens to subvert environmental regulation. This lecture attempts to offer a critical appraisal of the diet-cancer conundrum of the 1980s against the background of the emerging field of genetic toxicology. \nFree tickets will soon be available from the Wellcome Collection website.

SUMMARY:IFSTAL Lecture 2 London Event
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the 2nd Lecture in the Innovative Food Systems Teaching and Learning(IFSTAL) programme. IFSTAL is a collaborative\, interdisciplinary\, cross-university food systems training programme for postgraduate students\, linking with the work place to improve future human\, animal and environmental health. \nThis event will offer you an introduction to Systems Thinking\, the history and theory behind its development and how we might apply it to the ‘wicked problems’ facing food systems. \nDr Harley Pope of IFSTAL at Reading University will be giving the lecture (live streamed from Reading): “What is systems thinking and how might we use it to confront the ‘wicked problem(s)’ of food?”.  Afterwards we will have our own local discussion with the audience led by a panel of experts giving you the opportunity to meet other colleagues studying and working on food-related topics followed by a drinks and nibbles reception. \nThere will be simultaneous events happening across the country in IFSTAL’s partner institutions: Oxford University\, Reading University and Warwick University. In London\, this event will be hosted by City University London  and LCIRAH (LSHTM\, RVC\, SOAS). If you would like to attend the lecture at any of the other IFSTAL locations please visit our website for more information.
