 We are living in an age marked by the rapid growth in knowledge about the human body and brain. These include the development of powerful new technologies with the potential to augment our bodies (and modify behaviour) and diagnostics for the early detection of disease, drugs to aid cognition, and devices to extend physical capabilities. And many more of us, so it seems, are endlessly plugged in to our smartphones, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat. Our lives are lived in the virtual. How are these developments changing how we understand what it means to be human?

The guide to the value of architecture has been developed by Sheffield School of Architecture in collaboration with school children.

‘What is the Value of Architecture?’ will showcase the outcomes from an AHRC research project ‘The Cultural Value of Architecture’ led by Prof Flora Samuel of Sheffield School of Architecture (SSoA). This project has shown that there is little understanding of the contribution architecture has to make to wellbeing, that a simple definition of the skills of architecture are needed to enable non-architects to engage in discussions about their built environment. One of the outputs of the project is a document that sets out types of architects and their skill sets. This will be used as the basis for a framework of value and also as the basis for the ‘Eye Spy Guide’ to be tested here.

An event to explore the increasingly precarious environment for young disabled people in Britain today.

The event is to instigate critical dialogues concerning disability, youth, ambition, action and activism in the context of an increasingly precarious environment for disabled people politically, culturally, legally, and economically in Britain. These dialogues are vital to all of us as social scientists, but are particularly pertinent to young disabled people who have become the subjects/object of severe austerity measures set out by the Coalition Government. Thus far, these have targeted their Access to Work, their right to live independently/interdependently and contribute to their own communities, and most recently, their access to higher education through proposed cuts to the Disabled Students Allowance (DSA).

The event will share research findings on transfer of delivery of local leisure services from local government to volunteers.

This event describes research into the process of transfer of public leisure facilities; including sports centres, libraries and museums; towards delivery by volunteers. This
transfer is happening rapidly - mainly in response to funding cuts. Transfer to volunteers can have significant benefits, including; facilities remaining open, becoming more
responsive to local needs, more innovative management, reduced costs and increased eligibility to new grant sources.

Ideas on how to use and manage communication tools to attract green space users and enhance involvement

This event provides a hands-on opportunity to explore how Friends groups can share knowledge and information about place-keeping – that is, the long-term management practices that mean green and open spaces can be enjoyed by all users now and in the future – to help raise the profile of their green and open spaces among residents in Sheffield. This event will enable us to share our recent research project findings to explore different communication tools for participants to make/ maintain contact with green space ‘non-users’ who might respond well to non-traditional forms of contact and ways of interacting with/ using their green spaces.
