Pretty
Village
Film screening with introduction by the
filmmaker, Kemal Pervanic
Tuesday 27 January, 7.30pm
Twenty years after the end of The Bosnian
War, concentration camp survivor Kemal
Pervanic returns to his village to find a
community still at war with itself. This new film
is much more than a story about one Bosnian
village. It is a universal story of what happens
to communities and friendships torn apart
by conflict and how difficult it is to rebuild
people’s lives.

Cambridge Science Festival
The festival is taking place from 9–22 March. The festival is co-ordinated by the University of Cambridge, and we are a
partner sponsor. The festival presents hands-on activities, talks, exhibitions, performances and workshops. There are
hundreds of science events for all ages. We’ve organised the following free events on campus:
Science based approaches
to early education:
The case of rhythm and
literacy
Wednesday 11 March, 3.30–4.30pm
Teaching programmes based on scientific
research are gaining popularity in primary
school classrooms. Tune Time is one
example. In this talk the experimental
evidence underpinning the Tune Time
programme will be outlined. Wider
implications in regards to the teaching of
early literacy will also be discussed. Talk
by Dr Sarah Kuppen, Senior Lecturer in
Psychology.
There is more to touch
than meets the eye:
The role of touch
in consumer behaviour
Wednesday 11 March, 3.30–4.30pm
People are often unaware of how their
tactile sense can be used to manipulate
their consumer related behaviours and
the evaluations that they make. Touch has
the capability to influence many different
consumer aspects such as the actual value
of a product and how attractive something
is judged to be. This talk will outline the
importance of touch in consumption and
explain how the tactile sense contributes
to how we perceive products and services.
Talk by Dr Cathrine Jansson-Boyd, Reader in
Psychology.
Weight versus experience:
The science of winning the
boat race
Thursday 12 March, 7–9pm
A discussion with sport and exercise
scientists focusing on the nutritional,
physiological, psychological and
biomechanical factors that contribute to
the winning formula in a boat race crew.
Discussion led by Dr Dan Gordon, Principle
Lecturer in Sports Science and former
Paralympic athlete.
Science hands-on activities
Saturday 14 March, 10am–4pm and Sunday
15 March, 11am–4pm.
This event is taking place at The Guildhall,
Market Square, Cambridge.
Come along to explore fun and fascinating
hands-on activities run by our academics in
a range of subjects including sport, forensics,
vision and hearing sciences and psychology.
The Light of Consciousness
Thursday 19 March, 4–5pm
Before consciousness evolved, the universe
was in subjective darkness - nothing was
aware of its existence. Does this most
remarkable of life’s abilities have a function?
How does matter become mind? Dr Jane
Aspell - Senior Lecturer in Psychology at
Anglia Ruskin University - will discuss some
of the latest neuroscientific experiments
that are beginning to unveil how the brain
generates consciousness.
The Science of Morality
Saturday 21 March, 5.30–7pm
The Cambridge Humanist Group brings
together a panel of scientists and
commentators to help us understand
the impact that science is having on the
understanding of human morality and the
various ethics that our cultures are built
on. Panel members include: Kenan Malik,
an Indian-born English writer, lecturer and
broadcaster, trained in neurobiology and
the history of science, Raymond Tallis,
philosopher, poet, novelist, cultural critic
and a retired medical physician and clinical
neuroscientist, Rev Professor Alasdair Coles,
University of Cambridge, and Peter Cave,
Chair of the Humanist Philosphers’ Group. The
Debate Moderator is Dr Julian Huppert MP.
