Justin Bradley . 23 Dec 2015 11:16
In the opening session of this Symposium, Bruce White from the Glasgow Centre for Population Health delivered a presentation on the outputs the Centre has achieved over the last nine years. ‘From Calton to Iraq and back’ detailed a number of resources including the comprehensive report ‘Let Glasgow Flourish’, the film ‘Miniature Glasgow’ and the web resource ‘Understanding Glasgow’. He spoke on how these resources had been developed, how they had been used, how they could be used and what could be learned from the information gathered as a very strong theme of inequality continually presented itself.

GCPH Understanding Glasgow: Bolting Doors, Mending Fences
Justin Bradley . 11 Dec 2015 14:30
Justin Bradley . 11 Dec 2015 14:30
A series of four short films developed for the Glasgow Centre for Population Health’s (GCPH) Understanding Glasgow website. The films entitled Working Men, A Sense of Place, Young Mums and Bolting Doors, Mending Fences were commissioned to reflect people’s lived experiences and to let them tell their stories. Bolting Doors, Mending Fences introduces us to Alex who moved to Renfrew from Pollock when his family needed a larger house. His story takes us from when his family moved, how his close was used for drugs use, as a short-cut to the scheme behind and how he changed this by getting a door fixed, adding a bolt and ……getting a Rottweiler. He talks about deciding to fix up his garden and how people had said it would be destroyed by the local kids but it was the local kids who started helping him out. His story shows us how everyday things help a community; the fish pond, talking to people, Christmas and the Santa-Sleigh, just being there to help kids fix their bikes. He talks about people’s perceptions, fears and letting kids be kids.

GCPH 2013 Symposium: From Early Understanding to New Perspectives - Integrating Health and Planning in Glasgow
Justin Bradley . 09 Dec 2015 13:11
Justin Bradley . 09 Dec 2015 13:11
The third session of the Symposium looks at integrating health into the spatial planning system. This grew from Glasgow's membership in the WHO healthy cities network. It is about planning for people - putting their needs at the centre of the system. Planners have to balance a variety of needs (such as regeneration). The aim is to create an environment where people can maximise their health. People should be allowed a say in the development of their local area. Asks if quality of place is an issue in Glasgow - yes it is. There is too much derelict and vacant land, much of which is contaminated. They need to raise awareness of the links between planning and health and build motivation to take this forward. They are also building an evidence base and trying to change the way people work - to cross professional boundaries. He gives an example, the Health Impact Assessment of the East End Local Development Strategy. The results of this fed in to all future development plans for the area. It had a workshopping approach which gave a variety of community groups an equal voice in the planning. The city council trained some of their employees in health impact assessment. They also promoted the idea of integrated infrastructure, for example combining drainage with recreational areas using canals. Glasgow is now a test site for the Equally well project. We need to find a way to move health from a competitor to economics to being a complementary part of the planning process. The Centre still has work to do and aims to build on the momentum already generated.

GCPH Seminar: Health Benefits of Cycle Commuting in Glasgow
Justin Bradley . 04 Dec 2015 16:01
Justin Bradley . 04 Dec 2015 16:01
On the 21st May 2013, the Glasgow Centre for Population Health held a seminar to consider the findings of a new study on the health economic benefits of cycle commuting in Glasgow. The study looked at the benefits for Glasgow residents cycling into Glasgow City Centre on a daily basis and found that in 2012 the annual benefit was around £4 million. This is likely to be an underestimate as the analysis does not take account of reduced illness and other health benefits conferred by cycling.

Compilation video of the first four films produced for the Glasgow Centre for Population Health's (GCPH) new online resource, Understanding Glasgow website (www.understandingglasgow.com). This website was built to share evidence and information about the forces that shape people's lives in the west of Scotland. It is designed to provoke discussion and facilitate inquiry to create new solutions and enable action to improve health and tackle inequality, however, data can only tell you so much. Stories provide a powerful insight into the personal life experiences of people in Glasgow aiding that discussion and use of the data gathered.

GCU Inaugural Professorial Lecture: You Can't Teach an Old Dog New Tricks - or Can You?

Dawn talks about the value of being active when you are older. Exercise can help develop strength, balance and power and so can help prevent falls in the elderly. The number of older adults is increasing. She outlines the background to her research and talks about two databases containing data on older adults which she has helped compile. This helped develop a programme of exercise training, but at the start there were no standards for this training. They looked at strength and power in "fallers". She discusses the fear of falling in the elderly and how and when they develop it. Exercise can help reduce this fear. She then talks about the "dosage" of strength training - nearly all the existing programmes do not contain enough hours to do any good - even though a large body of evidence exists. She also discusses sitting behaviour in adults. The older adult should do at least 150 minutes of medium intensity exercise (which leaves you slightly warmer or breathless) per week. They should do this in chunks of at least 10 minutes. The aim is to improve strength, power and balance, so sit to stand reps or standing on one leg for a while. However, there is the problem of motivation to contend with. One way to address this is to use functional fitness MOTs. She describes the work done on this at GCU. She leaves us with three things to remember, sit less, move or walk more and challenge your balance!

GCPH Seminar Series 7: The City as a Complex Adaptive System - Lessons from the ATLAS Experiment at the LHC
Justin Bradley . 20 Oct 2015 12:44
Justin Bradley . 20 Oct 2015 12:44
The first seminar in this Series took place on Thursday 18 November 2010 at the Lighthouse. The ATLAS Collaboration will conduct experiments at the very edge of science, using one of four detectors located on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The Collaboration consists of over 3000 scientists working in over 174 research institutes and universities located in 38 countries around the globe. In such a complex and spatially extended network (what we would today call a complex adaptive system) how do the knowledge flows allow the creation of one of the most sophisticated technological objects ever built? Drawing on a conceptual framework, the Information-Space or I-Space, Max Boisot described and tried to make sense of the ATLAS collaboration’s culture. He explored the lessons that the management of globally distributed ‘big science’ projects such as the ATLAS collaboration hold for other complex adaptive systems such as cities.

Adam Kahane delivered the last seminar from this series. His lecture was based on his assertion that the two methods most frequently employed to solved our toughest social problems - relying on violence and aggression, or submitting to endless negotiation and compromise - are fundamentally flawed and that the seemingly contradictory drives behind these two approaches - power, the desire to achieve one's purpose, and love, the urge to unite with others are actually complimentary.

Justin Bradley . 20 Oct 2015 12:26
The fourth lecture of the sixth Seminar Series was delivered by Wayne Elliot, Head of Health forecasting at the Met Office. The presentation given by Wayne was called 'Impact of weather on human health - current and future issues' and was delivered at the Lighthouse, Glasgow. Those who attended this event heard about the work of the Met Office in relation to people's health and the initiatives they run to support the work of the health service and others involved in health protection and improvement. The work of the Met Office in relation to their work on climate change was also discussed, this included elements such as: what aspects of the British weather are important, what areas of illness/wellbeing are chiefly affected, how the health programme operates as a business - the opportunities and challenges this brings and future impacts of the climate on health - what we know and what we don't know.
GCPH Seminar Series 6: Prosperity without Growth
Justin Bradley . 20 Oct 2015 12:13
Justin Bradley . 20 Oct 2015 12:13
This lecture took place at the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. Economic growth is supposed to deliver rising prosperity: higher incomes increasing wellbeing and leading to prosperity for all. But this conventional formula is failing. Growth has delivered its benefits, at best unequally. Moreover, the ecological and social consequences of unfettered growth are devastating. Climate change threatens long-term wellbeing. Resource scarcities undermine the basis for future prosperity. Persistent inequalities still divide the world and a growing ‘social recession’ haunts the market economies. Development remains essential for poorer countries. But are ever-increasing incomes for the ‘already rich’ still a legitimate goal for advanced nations? Or should we be aiming for prosperity without growth? In this seminar, Tim Jackson, an advisor to the UK Government and author of Prosperity without Growth: Economics for a Finite Planet (Earthscan, 2009), will argue that society faces a profound dilemma: economic growth is unsustainable; but ‘de-growth’ - or economic contraction - is unstable. He will show that the prevailing ‘escape route’ from this dilemma - to try and ‘decouple’ economic activity from its impact - is not working. How can we proceed in a world where global resource consumption is still rising yet meeting climate change targets will require reductions in carbon intensity two orders of magnitude higher than anything achieved historically? In the light of these challenges, Professor Jackson engages in a critical re-examination of the economic structure and social logic of consumerism. He will set out a new vision of a shared prosperity: the capability to flourish as human beings - within the ecological limits of a finite planet.

GCPH Seminar Series 5: From Theory to Policy - the Implications of Recent Research Findings on Health Inequality
Justin Bradley . 19 Oct 2015 11:34
Justin Bradley . 19 Oct 2015 11:34
In this lecture Dr Burns reflects that recent trends show relative improvements in some Scottish health indices compared to other countries. However, health inequality remains an obstinate challenge in Scotland, with the greatest difficulties found largely in the Clydeside conurbation. The policy implications of this and the findings of recent research on the effects of stress on brain structure are considered.
GCPH Seminar Series 5: We've Got the Future in our Hands: Are We Up to it?

Justin Bradley . 19 Oct 2015 11:30
We’ve got the future in our hands: Are we up to it? There is mounting evidence that the demands of everyday life in these complex and uncertain times is presenting humanity with both a threat to survival and also an opportunity for evolutionary transformation. Is humanity being pushed beyond our limits to cope or are we instead on the cusp of a breakthrough in consciousness on a global scale? Is the rising tide of mental anguish - anxiety, depression, suicide, addiction and violence - a sign that we are being overtaken by our powerful times? Or is the newly enlivened participatory impulse that swept a young African American man into the White House an indication that we are growing up and developing expanded psychological capacities, new forms of thinking and social innovation. In this lecture psychologist Maureen O'Hara will take a fresh look at the challenges of the globalising 21st century. She will suggest that if we understand what is happening from an evolutionary perspective, we may be able to learn our way into a more humane future.
GCPH Seminar Series 5: Talking Cities - The Micropolitics of Urban Space
Justin Bradley . 19 Oct 2015 10:50
Justin Bradley . 19 Oct 2015 10:50
Talking Cities - The Micropolitics of Urban Space From Kevin Macleod to Prince Charles, it seems everyone is talking cities. What makes an eco-town or city? What is sustainable design? Architecture and happiness? Perhaps more importantly, what does inclusiveness, equality and diversity mean in the built environment? Place-making, the new term on the block, is generally agreed to be central to social inclusion, cultural well-being and identity. But what makes a good space? People experience their environment in different ways depending upon their social, cultural and economic circumstances. Policies can enable good spaces but they can also be exclusive. If all citizens are to be comfortable in and identify with the spaces and places they inhabit, then the full diversity of this experience has to be considered. It means adopting a human-centred design approach. In this lecture Stuart MacDonald will look at the effect of an inhospitable built environment - the impact of bad design - as a way of looking at inclusion. Because the impact of the designed environment upon us huge, he will suggest that everyone should be talking cities as a fundamental part of democracy.
GCPH Seminar Series 5: Taking Care of Yourself Together
Justin Bradley . 19 Oct 2015 10:27
Justin Bradley . 19 Oct 2015 10:27
Recent demographic trends suggest that demands on healthcare will increase to such an extent that no matter how efficient healthcare professionals are, they will never be able to provide enough care in light of the ageing population and increasing prevalence of chronic ill-health. This gap between the need for care and the size of the workforce could be bridged by the development of Information Technology (IT). While there are many developments in Scotland (and elsewhere), little work has been undertaken at a national level to develop integrated IT systems for this purpose. Careful and appropriate development will be necessary if such an IT infrastructure is to contribute fully to the future of care, but there is no business case for this and no sense of political urgency to develop such an infrastructure despite the understanding that to reach an effective level in ten years we need to start now.

GCPH Seminar Series 5: Should Government Try to Make us Happy?
Justin Bradley . 19 Oct 2015 09:34
Justin Bradley . 19 Oct 2015 09:34
The determinants of 'happiness' and its distribution both domestically and internationally suggest that a more appropriate target for policy is 'unhappiness', which responds to several forms of public action. But setting happiness as an objective does suggest some policy priorities. These include non-material forms of recognition, taxation of positional goods and support of culture and the arts. Individuals have an intrinsic short-term myopic bias, which is exacerbated by the flow of novelty in affluent societies. They find it difficult to commit. Government has a role in supporting personal and social commitment for the long term, for example in co-ordinating responses to challenges such as climate change and energy depletion.
GCPH Seminar Series 4: Why Selfish Capitalism Causes Increased Mental Illness
Justin Bradley . 19 Oct 2015 09:16
Justin Bradley . 19 Oct 2015 09:16
By placing too high a value on the material aspects of life, English speaking nations put themselves at twice the risk of mental disorder over their mainland European counterparts. This overemphasis on materialism has its roots in the ideologies and policies of the Thatcher administration in the UK and the Reagan administration in the USA. Through placing an over-emphasis on materialism, these perspectives led to people spending less time on meeting fundamental human needs, resulting in increased mental disorder. A greater focus on other aspects of life is needed to restore the balance.
GCPH Seminar Series 4: Positive and Negative Stress Alter Brain Structure
Justin Bradley . 19 Oct 2015 09:05
Justin Bradley . 19 Oct 2015 09:05
Individual differences in response to stressful experiences are a hallmark of the human condition. The same experiences that some people find aversive are considered neutral or rewarding by others. Paradoxically, experiences that are rewarding can also be defined as stressful because they activate stress hormone systems, such as the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis. Despite this activation, however, the brain is often buffered against the negative effects of high stress hormones when the experience is perceived as rewarding or "positive". The adult brain is structurally plastic, undergoing changes in the birth of new neurons, a process called neurogenesis, and remodelling of dendrites. Positive and negative stress can modulate brain structure and these changes are believed to participate in cognitive function (the processes of perception, memory, judgment, and reasoning) and mood regulation. In this lecture, Professor Gould will discuss the influence of stress hormones on plasticity in the adult brain under aversive and rewarding conditions. Negative stress inhibits adult neurogenesis and results in atrophy of some types of neurons as a result of elevated levels of stress hormones. While positive stress results in even greater increases in such levels, these experiences are associated with brain growth. Professor Gould will argue that the effects of stress on the brain are complex and can be mediated by the social context, which may buffer the brain from negative consequences.

GCPH Seminar Series 4: Seeing Like a State - Why Certain Schemes to Improve the Human Condition Have Failed
Justin Bradley . 09 Oct 2015 15:06
Justin Bradley . 09 Oct 2015 15:06
Looking back over the twentieth century we can see many examples of utopian schemes which have inadvertently brought disruption to millions; from compulsory ‘extended family’ villages in Tanzania, collectivisation in Russia, Le Corbusier’s urban planning, the Great Leap Forward in China and agricultural ‘modernization’ in the tropics. Why do well-intentioned plans for improving the human condition go tragically awry? Drawing upon his highly original book of the same title, and his long-term work in South East Asia (Burma in particular), Professor Scott helps us to understand how potentially harmful “state-spaces” are constructed. He shows how large-scale authoritarian schemes fail through the violence which they impose upon complex interdependencies which cannot be fully understood. He suggests that design for successful social organisation - like cities - depends on the recognition that local, practical, knowledge is as important as formal, abstract, knowledge in addressing the challenges which we now face.

Humanity has now become as powerful a geological agent in shaping the operation of the planet as the oceans, ice sheets and rivers, to the extent that many believe we have entered a new geological era. What is happening to the planet? How confident are we that we understand the changes, and how should we respond to them if the science is uncertain? These matters have important economic, social and philosophical implications, and present unique political problems (the recent flooding is a small-scale example). How should we respond?

GCPH Seminar Series 4: Health Patterns and Trends in New York - Exploring the Idea of Fundamental Social Causes of Health Status
Justin Bradley . 09 Oct 2015 14:43
Justin Bradley . 09 Oct 2015 14:43
Professor Bruce Link’s research has focused on how and under what conditions socioeconomic disparities are translated into health inequalities. In this lecture, Professor Link will introduce the fundamental-social-causes concept and present evidence related to its scope and validity by focusing on health patterns and trends in New York. Using data from New York and elsewhere he will argue that the association between socioeconomic status and mortality has persisted for over a century despite dramatic changes in the diseases afflicting humans and radical changes in the risk factors presumed to account for those diseases. Drawing upon a range of sources, he will suggest that socioeconomic disparities endure because socioeconomic status embodies an array of flexible resources, such as knowledge, money, power, prestige and beneficial social connections that can be used to protect health no matter what the risk factors or diseases are at any given time. His lecture will end with some considerations concerning the policy implications which arise from this perspective.
GCPH and Journal of Public Mental Health Seminar: Promoting Positive Mental Health in a Time of Inequalities - an Ethical Dilemma?

Featuring renowned speakers Professor Richard Wilkinson and Professor Corey Keyes, this seminar was held in Glasgow on Thursday 11th October 2007. As part of the Journal of Public Mental Health series of seminars, it explored key issues in public mental health and invited debate about the gap between what we know about population level influences on mental health and current policy responses to psycho-social problems. The series was supported by the National Programme for Improving Mental Health and Wellbeing, the Glasgow Centre for Population Health, the Scottish Development Centre for Mental Health and the Mental Health Foundation.
GCPH Seminar Series 3: Belonging to One Another - Principles and Practices for Engaging the Other
Justin Bradley . 09 Oct 2015 13:57
Justin Bradley . 09 Oct 2015 13:57
In a city which prides itself on friendliness and yet has inequalities in health which persist despite our best attempts to tackle them, questions about our relationships to others are of key significance.This issue of otherness is ancient and contemporary, local as well as global, and of significance both in everyday life and periods of cultural crisis. In this lecture, Aftab Omer will consider how to develop core principles and practices that are responsive to the challenges of otherness both within the city and beyond. The diversity we see in the human race is often treated as a problem rather than an asset. For example, we see this in various forms of social oppression such as inequality, racism and cultural trauma. Omer argues that responding effectively to the fragmentation that characterises this global cultural crisis, calls for leadership that practices a profound engagement with all that is other. Such a perspective will raise important insights and questions about how people, organisations and cultures relate to each other, with important consequences for the pursuit of wellbeing.

GCPH Seminar Series 3: Towards Ethical Economics - An Initial Exploration
Justin Bradley . 09 Oct 2015 10:56
Justin Bradley . 09 Oct 2015 10:56
It seems we are in trouble. Two recent reports, the Stern Report on the economic impact of climate change for the UK Treasury and that of International Panel on Climate Change‚ suggest that human activity has serious environmental consequences, such as global warming. The almost insatiable demands on natural resources by giant emerging economies like China and India are new as is that in East Europe. Yet more than two billion people still live in abject poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Their basic needs and demands must be fulfilled. Can all of this be sustained in the context of inexorable GDP growth being the exclusive measure of material fulfilment and happiness? How can we find an ethical economic response when demands are increasing, resources are declining and damage to the fabric of the ecosphere on which we all depend upon for life is becoming obvious? One way forward is suggested by the traditional Indian thought of humans being a part of nature and therefore helping to sustain it. A starting point may to be distinguish between demands and needs. While demands can be infinite and never satisfied, needs are finite and can be met within the sustainable paradigm. The important task of defining these needs raises questions of ethics. How can we address environmental, social and economic questions simultaneously? The challenge is to try and develop a set of ethical values or even a way of thinking that is broadly acceptable, practical and yet encourages us to continue our search for answers to the unknown in the universe both within and without. The Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations (ICRIER) is one of India's leading economic policy think tanks and Rajiv Kumar, a graduate of Oxford and Lucknow Universities has recently been advising the President of India on Globalisation, based on scenarios for Indian development which he developed with others for the World Economic Forum. In this lecture he will combine his extensive economic experience with his interest in human flourishing to explore these issues and their implications for wellbeing.

GCPH Seminar Series 3: The Crisis of Confidence in Public Health Policy and Practice - the Search for a New Paradigm
Justin Bradley . 09 Oct 2015 10:35
Justin Bradley . 09 Oct 2015 10:35
Public health is facing a cruel paradox. On the one hand, concern about the public's health has never been higher and issues like obesity, alcohol misuse, growing inequalities in health, and environmental degradation compete for attention on the policy agenda. On the other hand, there is widespread dismay over the means available to address these complex public health challenges. Either they seem inadequate for the task or they are poorly implemented. Whether it is the workforce charged with health improvement and its fitness for purpose, the slender finances available for public health causes, the weak incentive structure to bring about the shift from sickness to health, or the ethical tension between the nanny state and the individual in making lifestyle choices, those engaged in improving the public's health have arguably never worked in such a fraught and confused environment. In this seminar Prof Hunter will explore whether we need a new approach to health leadership and governance in order to provide public health policy with a new sense of purpose and the means to succeed. Does the political will exist to undertake the necessary action? Or is the "culture of contentment" too entrenched to bring about the necessary paradigm shift?
GCPH Seminar Series 3: Of Molecules and Mind -Stress, the Individual and the Social Environment
Justin Bradley . 09 Oct 2015 10:30
Justin Bradley . 09 Oct 2015 10:30
Stress is a condition of the mind that differs among individuals and reflects not only major life events but also the conflicts and pressures of daily life that elevate physiological systems so as to cause a chronic stress burden. This burden reflects not only the impact of life experiences but also of genetic load and early life experiences that set life-long patterns of behaviours and physiological reactivity. While hormones associated with the chronic stress burden protect the body in the short-run and promote adaptation, in the long run they promote changes in the body that impair function, for the immune system and the brain.
In this lecture, Professor McEwen will discuss how social ordering in human society is associated with gradients of disease, and describe the relationship between mortality, morbidity and socioeconomic status. Though these relationships are complex, Professor McEwen will argue that they are likely to reflect, not only differences in lifestyle, but also the cumulative burden of coping with limited resources and negative life events and the resulting chronic impact on physiological systems of adaptation.

Using her own work on the Creative Imagination, she argued that design processes can generate alternative directions and visions, based on the values which we want to support in our societies. These can therefore work as antidotes and alternatives within the discourse of globalisation and individualisation. This lecture used case studies from McAra-McWilliam's work with Hewlett Packard, Philips and the European Union Connected Community research programme which she pioneered. These examples explored how design can foster social and technological innovation with properties which enhance wellbeing.
GCPH Seminar Series 3: Social Change from the Inside Out
Justin Bradley . 09 Oct 2015 07:35
Justin Bradley . 09 Oct 2015 07:35
Jerry Sternin argued that traditional expert-driven models for individual, social and organisational change often don't work. The Positive Deviance approach builds on successful but "deviant" (different) practices and strategies that are identified from within the community or institution. Positive Deviance is based on the belief that in every community, organisation, business or group, there are individuals or entities whose uncommon, but demonstrably successful behaviours or strategies enable them to find better solutions to problems than their neighbours or colleagues who have access to exactly the same resources. How does this happen? What can we learn from it? Could it work in Glasgow?
GCPH Seminar Series 2: Civic Humanism and Conversation About the Good Life
Justin Bradley . 08 Oct 2015 12:51
Justin Bradley . 08 Oct 2015 12:51
In aiming to promote conversation within a community about how life practices can be changed for the better health and flourishing of its individual members, a crucial question is how that conversation is initiated, and by whom. A rich source of ideas is provided by looking at examples of thinking about "promoting the good life" in the Western tradition, especially in Renaissance humanism and the eighteenth century debate about the role of the arts. This lecture will focus on these debates and their contemporary relevance.
GCPH Seminar Series 2: Urban Vision and Public Health - Designing and Building Wholesome Places
Justin Bradley . 08 Oct 2015 08:32
Justin Bradley . 08 Oct 2015 08:32
This lecture examined the effects of urban design on health, placing it in the larger context of planning and public health, and proposed solutions that combine public health and urban planning strategies relevant for the 21st century. Dr Frumkin spoke of public health lying at the heart of urban planning in the early 20th century, but since then, the growth of cities has occurred in relatively unplanned ways. Urban sprawl - the expansion of cities into rural areas, heavy reliance on automobiles, low-density, low-mix land use patterns - represents one extreme, especially in North America and Australia, but increasingly in Europe as well. At the other extreme we have high density, overcrowded, creaking infrastructure. Frumkin described how urban planning and design may affect health in a variety of ways: threatening air quality, impeding physical activity, increasing injury risks, and eroding social capital are but a few examples.
GCPH Seminar Series 2: The Global Health Challenge - Why We Need Good Governance for Health
Justin Bradley . 08 Oct 2015 08:25
Justin Bradley . 08 Oct 2015 08:25
From a starting point that emphasised the changing nature of the world and the globalisation of everyday life, this lecture demonstrated the many ways in which globalisation impacts on health, and health impacts on globalisation. Dr Kickbusch explored the implications of 'good global governance for health', and the possibility of achieving a global healthy treaty.
GCPH Seminar Series 2: The Transformation of Scotland: 1980-2005
Justin Bradley . 08 Oct 2015 08:23
Justin Bradley . 08 Oct 2015 08:23
In this lecture, Prof Devine argued that over the past twenty five years Scotland has undergone a remarkable series of changes in economy, society and culture. While they are similar in scope and scale to those of the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century, they have largely been unnoticed or ignored. Prof Devine asked the questions 'how did we arrive here?' and 'how does this view sit with the more usual view of Scotland as a downtrodden underperforming underdog?'.
GCPH Seminar Series 2: Where's the Evidence - The Contribution of Lay Knowledge to Reducing Health Inequalities
Justin Bradley . 08 Oct 2015 08:06
Justin Bradley . 08 Oct 2015 08:06
This lecture presented the case for lay knowledge and theories to be taken more seriously. Professor Popay argued that lay knowledge is sophisticated, helps to answer questions about meaning and experience, and should be treated as an equal but different voice in informing decision-making about policy and practice.

GCPH Seminar Series 1: Minding the Future
Justin Bradley . 07 Oct 2015 14:02
Justin Bradley . 07 Oct 2015 14:02
Ours is an age of complexity, uncertainty and rapid change. Our response to these conditions has also made ours an age of anxiety, the effects of which are to be found everywhere - deteriorating mental health, increasing crime, a global environment under strain, the persistence and deepening of unequal patterns of distribution in income, wealth and well-being. In this lecture Maureen O'Hara presented a fresh look at these challenges and suggested that, if we can come to understand them in a different light, they offer the hope of transformation.
GCPH Seminar Series 1: Happiness
Justin Bradley . 07 Oct 2015 13:40
Justin Bradley . 07 Oct 2015 13:40
Prof Layard believes that the happiness of society does not necessarily equate to its income. Most people want more income, yet, as societies become richer, they do not become happier. Evidence from a range of sources shows that, on average, people have grown no happier in the last fifty years, even as average incomes have more than doubled. In fact, many countries have more depression, more alcoholism and more crime than fifty years ago. This paradox is true of Britain, the United States, continental Europe and Japan. In this lecture Prof Layard discussed both explanations of and remedies for this phenomenon including serious efforts by civic authorities to promote more pro-social cultures among children and young people.
GCPH Seminar Series 1: Changing Ideas - Changing Health
Justin Bradley . 07 Oct 2015 13:27
Justin Bradley . 07 Oct 2015 13:27
Central to this lecture was the premise that there is a strong connection between science and culture: how people think about the world is closely related to how they value and think about other things as well. Glouberman focused on changing perceptions of order and disorder, the environment and identity through the ages. The implications of the interaction between these three ideas and our view of health were explored.

Justin Bradley . 06 Oct 2015 14:41

The opening lecture of the seminar series, given by Prof Anthony Grayling, looked at the history of the city and what it can teach us about the search for the good life. Central to this was consideration of what a 'community setting' should best be like to ensure that individual flourishing and wellbeing happens.

ITEM DESCRIPTION
After producing reviews of A-level Chemistry content in 2007 and 2010, we have updated the document to reflect the changes which have been introduced for first teaching in September 2015. We will be working with our network of teachers locally to monitor the impacts of the changes on teaching and the student experience with a view to releasing an updated version in the summer of 2017. This will aim to provide insights for university staff regarding the experiences of incoming students who will have been in the first cohort to have studied the new specifications.
We are grateful to the Royal Society of Chemistry for support for the final stages of compiling this report.
If you spot any errors or omissions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
