Online events that may be of interest
By: NewShadow Date: October 12, 2020, 12:30 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
With an increasing amount of talks and lectures and such going
online that might be of interest to members, I thought a thread
to share some of these might be a good idea?
Allowing that I may have an eccentric and idiosyncratic idea of
what "may be of interest" means...to start off [chronologically
listed]:

panellists that there will probably be a bias in favour "yes he
does"] - October 27, 6:00 pm [£5]

"Sheffield’s Feminist Rebels: Suffrage before the Suffragettes":
Sheffield has many claims to fame, but perhaps one of the least
well known is that the first-ever petition for women's suffrage
came from the town in 1851. This was organised by the Women's
Rights Association (WRA), a rebellious name in itself for the
time - Monday 9 November, 7:30pm

other side; The 2020 event will be 100% virtual (and 100% FREE)

powerful speakers. If you've always wanted to come to a
TEDxSeattle event, but cost or location stood in the way, this

For those interested in how the Court of Protection decides on
capacity related issues.
It’s a bit hit and miss because they don’t always say what the
issue is, and the case I was involved with where there was a
potentially interesting debate about whether an injunction can
be served on someone via Facebook was adjourned with the
instructions to try harder via the normal channels.
But the COP does make some very interesting decisions relations
to people’s rights. And it could be us they’re talking about, in
the future.

Climate change: What next for the Paris agreement?
Thurs 12th November
7-8 pm
"Countries and businesses are still failing to commit to
reducing emissions, and this year the US will complete its
withdrawal from the landmark 2015 Paris agreement. In what was
supposed to be a pivotal year for international climate
discussions, the United Nations is calling on youth activists to
advise on ideas and solutions for climate recovery.
What will the long lasting impacts of countries’ and businesses’
failures to commit to change be? How can they continue to enact
policy reform now that COP26 has been delayed? Our panel,
chaired by Guardian environmental journalist Fiona Harvey, and
including the Secretary General, UNFCCC Patricia Espinosa, UK
Government’s high level climate action champion Nigel Topping,
and UN youth climate envoy Nisreen Elsaim, will be in
discussion."

Hostile Environment: How Immigrants Became Scapegoats
Tuesday 24 November
7pm–8pm
"Join us for a panel discussion on attitudes towards immigration
in Britain.
In her latest book, Maya Goodfellow tracks the historical roots
of Theresa May’s ‘hostile environment’ policy to show that
distinct forms of racism and dehumanisation have produced a
draconian immigration system that disproves the argument that
the Windrush scandal is a deviance from the norm."
