ThirstWater and power in the ancient worldProfessor Steven MithenWednesday 17 October 2012

The Charles Dickens phenomenon Dickensian values in the 21st centuryDr Andrew Mangham Wednesday 12 December 2012

Whither al-Qaeda?The future of the ‘Islamist threat’Dr Christina HellmichWednesday 30 January 2013

Modern finance in the Middle AgesWhat history can tell us about current financial crisesProfessor Adrian BellWednesday 13 February 2013

Dietary dilemmasIs there an optimum diet to prevent heart disease?Professor Julie LovegroveWednesday 20 March 2013

Whither al-Qaeda? Dr Christina Hellmich, Reader in International Relations and Middle East StudiesWednesday 30 January 2013

Since September 11, 2001 al-Qaeda has come to embody the new enig-matic face of terrorism, dominating discussions of national and inter-national security. Yet in spite of this attention, conflicting assumptions about the group abound. Is al-Qaeda

a rigidly structured organisation, a global network of semi-independent cells, or simply an idea whose time has come? What are the implications of Osama bin Laden’s death and the ‘Arab Spring’? Are countries like Yemen and Syria to be-come the new Afghanistan – and do we really need to worry about the ‘Islamist threat’?

Modern finance in the Middle Ages Professor Adrian Bell, Head of the ICMA Centre, Henley Business SchoolWednesday 13 February 2013

Ever since the financial crisis of 2007-8, finance has never been far from the front pages. But this is not new - we can find a credit crunch, sovereign default and rate rigging in medieval Europe. Just like current investment bankers, medieval merchants were

engaged in financial engineering, risky lending to govern-ments and manipulation of exchange rates. This lecture will explore how medieval financial innovations have many parallels with recent events.

Dietry dilemmas Professor Julie Lovegrove, Department of Food and Nutritional studies and Institute for Cardiovascular and Metabolic Research (ICMR) Wednesday 20 March 2013

Cardiovascular disease is a major killer in the Western world. Although there are a number of population-based die-tary recommendations, scientists disa-gree on what represents the optimum diet to reduce the risk of heart disease. Would changing our diet reduce this

risk? And would a personalised diet based on our genetic make-up really improve how we respond to treatment? This lecture will examine the current evidence for the impact of dietary change on our heart health.

Our Public Lecture Series is a showcase of research highlights from across the University. The lectures are given by Reading academics eminent in their field and cover a wide range of topical subjects.

ProgrammeFrom 7.15 pm ArrivalsGuests to arrive at the Palmer Building, which is situated in the centre of the Whiteknights campus. For advice on getting to the campus, and parking, please visit www.reading.ac.uk/publiclectureseries
