Speaker: Ronan Fanning, Professor Emeritus of Modern History, University College Dublin
The core of the Irish problem since 1886 was the Ulster issue. Both British and Irish political parties had vested interests in denying this reality until the advent of coalition government in the Great War. Lloyd George had always supported excluding Unionist Ulster from Dublin's domination but postponed addressing the Irish problem until 1919. By then the 1918 election had led to Sinn Féin's displacing the Home Rule Party and had also made Lloyd George dependent on the Conservatives. His response was the Government of Ireland Act 1920 which gave the Ulster Unionists what they wanted: a monopoly of government in what became Northern Ireland.
Speaker biography
Ronan Fanning is Professor Emeritus of Modern History, University College Dublin, and a Member of the Royal Irish Academy. His other books include a definitive history of the Irish Department of Finance and a biography (co-written with Michael Lillis) of Eliza Lynch, lover of the 19th century Paraguayan dictator Francisco Solano López, which has just been made into a drama-documentary for television. He is also an editor of Dictionary of Irish Biography and of the multi-volume series Documents on Irish Foreign Policy.

Lifelong Learning Lectures
Please note this lecture is a repeat of the fully-booked lecture on 11 June.
The York Lunatic Asylum opened in 1777, but by 1788 it was at the centre of a public controversy, and in 1790 a patient died there without the requested solace of her fellow Quakers. This narrative forms part of the founding myth of the York Retreat, an independent lunatic asylum established by the Society of Friends in 1792. The relationship between the two asylums was therefore, from the outset, capable of bearing an oppositional character - but all was not quite as it seemed...
This talk reveals the secret political origins of the foundation of the York Asylum, and its presentation as a metaphor of corruption as an act of partisan revenge. And while the Retreat emerged directly out of Quaker philosophy and a renaissance in institutional foundation, it was only with the publication of Samuel Tuke's innovative Description of the Retreat, two hundred years ago this year, that its celebrated success made the contrast with the Asylum more striking. In 1814, early-morning visitors to the York Asylum discovered thirteen old women in tiny cells, inches deep in excremental filth. The very particular problems there were exposed in Parliament, and the relationship between these two York institutions acted as a catalyst for national reform of both asylum design and the treatment offered within their walls.
This lecture is sponsored by the University's Centre for Chronic Diseases and Disorders.
Please note this lecture is a repeat of the fully-booked lecture on 11 June.

Speaker: Professor James Sharpe
This lecture will focus on the life and subsequent legend of Dick Turpin, the famous English highwayman who was executed at York in April 1739. Despite the associations which the city has built with him, most recently through the heritage industry, Turpin was born in Essex, and came north under an assumed name when things got too hot for him in the London area. His early career, which is well documented, took place in the south, but he was arrested for horse theft while living in East Yorkshire, and was subsequently executed for that offence.
Despite a flurry of interest at the time of his execution, Turpin was not one of the highwaymen whom the eighteenth century remembered best. He was, however, revived by the Manchester-born novelist William Harrison Ainsworth, who made Turpin a central figure in his novel Rookwood of 1834. In this process Ainsworth completely recreated Turpin: Rookwood was a massive success, and the fictionalized Turpin created by Ainsworth was essentially the Turpin we know today, somebody who was vastly different from the Turpin of historical reality.
Thus with Turpin we have a rare example where it is possible to reconstruct something of the real person and, with some precision, how the myth surrounding him grew. Thus we can look at how historical myths develop and also ponder the nature of fame in the story of this Essex butcher who ended his life at York Tyburn, and of the author who recreated him, once a very famous novelist but now largely forgotten.
Speaker biography
Born in London in 1946, James Sharpe gained a BA and DPhil in Modern History at Oxford, and after holding temporary posts at the Universities of Durham and Exeter entered employment with the University of York in 1973. Since then he has established expertise in the field of the history of cri in England c. 1550 - 1750 and the history of witchcraft over the same period. He published a book on Turpin and the Turpin legend in 2004.

With Ally Lewis, Kelly Redeker and David Pearce
The Polar regions are a rich resource for science. Join three scientists, from York and the British Antarctic Survey, whose research takes place above, in and below the snow, to explore climate change, microbes and life in Antarctic sub-glacial lakes.
Chemistry in cold climates
Ally Lewis
The atmosphere at the poles is highly sensitive to pollution - stratospheric ozone depletion and climate warming are all induced by air pollutants in polar regions. Polar regions experience extremes in air pollution chemistry, driven by sunlight, low temperatures and ice and snow covered surfaces. Whilst in the upper polar atmosphere, aircraft and satellites provide a means to detect chemical change, in the atmosphere's lowest layers, there is no alternative but to put people and instruments on the ground. This talk will describe some of the science and technology of polar atmospheric chemistry, and the practical challenges of performing chemistry in the cold.
The complex chemistry/biology of newly fallen Antarctic snow
Kelly Redeker
Antarctic and Greenland ice cores provide one of the most depended upon proxies for past climate and atmospheric composition. Recent research has shown however that bacteria can survive for thousands of years and remain biologically active, even under extreme conditions. We examined the production and consumption of low concentration trace gases in newly fallen Antarctic snow as a tool to determine biological activity.
The exploration of Antarctic subglacial lakes
David Pearce
Since the first descriptions of Antarctic subglacial lakes there has been a growing interest and awareness of the possibility that life will exist and potentially thrive in these unique and little known environments. The unusual combination of selection pressures and isolation from the rest of the biosphere, might have lead to novel adaptations and physiology not seen before, or indeed to the potential discovery of relic populations that may have become extinct elsewhere. As a result of significant and growing interest, three ambitious projects aimed to enter and retrieve samples from deep continental Antarctic subglacial lakes over the 2012/2013 Antarctic field season. Here we discuss what new knowledge might be gained from their exploration and why we go to such lengths to understand them.

With Alice Courvoisier, Mark Brandon and James Chong
Scientists have long looked to the Polar regions to find answers to complex global questions, but what conclusions did they reach? What is the reality of Antarctic research today? And how easy is it to explain this to the viewing public in programmes such as Frozen Planet? Polar experts and an academic advisor to the BBC series discuss.
Taking Newton's ideas North & South: the story of the French expeditions that measured the length of the degree of the meridian arc.
Alice Courvoisier
At the beginning of the 18th century, a controversy concerning the shape of the Earth had arisen: was it flattened at the pole, as Newton's theories predicted, or elongated, as French astronomer Jacques Cassini's geodetic measurements suggested? With the blessing of King Louis XV, the French Royal Academy of Sciences prepared for two twin expeditions, one to Peru, near the Equator, the other to Lapland by the Arctic Circle. Both would measure the length of a degree of latitude: if it proved longer near the pole, Newton would be vindicated.
Pierre Louis Moreau de Maupertuis was leading the Lapland expedition, which lasted from July 1736 to June 1737. Assisted by the locals, Maupertuis and his team successfully completed their mission, despite the summer mosquitoes and the fiendishly cold winter. In the meantime, the scientists of the Peru expedition had to contend with bad weather, sickness, the hostility of the natives and of the Spanish colonists, as well as internal dissensions. The leaders, Pierre Bouguer and Charles Marie de La Condamine, returned to France separately nearly ten years after they had left.
This talk will address the background to the expeditions, the challenges faced by the scientists in extremely demanding conditions, and their results, which ultimately proved Newton correct.
Frozen Planet: advising on the science in the BBC hit series
Mark Brandon
The Open University was a co-production partner in Frozen Planet and members of the University were working on the series since early 2008. Mark has spent years working in the Arctic and Antarctic and he will talk about his experiences of the production process, going on a shoot in the Arctic, the production of associated teaching course, and how science was the driving force throughout.
Seven weeks south: A journey to Signy Island
James Chong
Signy Island is only just inside the Antarctic Circle but, due to a lack of runways, takes some considerable time to reach. James Chong will talk about his recent British Antarctic Survey-sponsored journey South, the wildlife, what it was like spending Christmas on a small island with seven other individuals, and why setting up simple experiments on a glacier is not quite as easy in real life as it sounds on paper.

Speaker: Peter Rix
From Airships to Swing-wings via the Wellington bomber and the Dam busters raid. The link is Barnes Wallis. The talk will cover some of his most significant inventions and will try to give some insight into what sort of man he was. His reputation suffers from being dominated by the so- called "bouncing bomb" but there was much more to his inventive mind. Indeed it could be argued that the "bouncing bomb" was not even his most important contribution to the war effort let alone his earlier and later works.
Speaker biography
Peter Rix worked for the Electricity Supply Industry for most of his working life but had a lifelong interest in aviation which he put on the back burner whilst pursuing a career and bringing up a family. On taking early retirement he decided to re-kindle this interest and took a post graduate course in Heritage Management at the Ironbridge Gorge Museum. Peter was chairman of the Barnes Wallis Memorial Trust for more than 10 years and remains a trustee.

Verdi's great Missa da Requiem completed in 1874 is probably the best-known setting of the text. Hans von Bülow famously described it as 'an opera in ecclesiastical dress'. A true vocal concert piece of the nineteenth-century tradition it is truly a requiem writ grand; it is filled with splendid horror, perhaps the most exhilarating of emotions, and as a result plays out as something which is much more than easy listening. As the concert launches the University's 50th anniversary alumni weekend it is appropriate that three of the soloists - Marina, Joseph and Julian - are York alumni and the other, Yvonne, completes 40 years of teaching singing at the University in June 2013. A wonderful end to the season for both University Choir and Symphony Orchestra!

aughter of the famous General Gabler, Hedda is used to the best in life. Returning from a long and dull honeymoon with her husband George Tesman, she soon finds domestic life unfulfilling. To add to her aggravation, Hedda's expectations for a luxury lifestyle quickly dissolve when Tesman's hopes for a promotion begin to seem unrealistic. Frustrated with a lifestyle that doesn't live up to the promise, and mortally bored, Hedda soon finds her only solace is in systematically and relentlessly destroying the lives of those around her. Are Hedda's actions the product of her warped conscience or the consequence of her marginalization within a patriarchal Victorian society? Or are they the result of sheer boredom!

The walk this weekend is to Whitby, a historic town situated at the mouth of the River Esk on the North Yorkshire Coast. It is well known for its abbey that sits on the cliff top over-looking the town, not to mention its connections to Dracula as this is the location where his ship is thought to have been washed ashore. As it is the last walk of term expect this walk to be slightly more laid back than usual with plenty of time to visit the town and enjoy the beach!
ESSENTIAL INFO
We meet just the Roger Kirk Centre in James College at 8.50. Arrival time back to campus varies depending on where we are walking but we're normally back between 5-6pm.
Costs
£7 per walk for Outdoor Soc Members
£9 per walk for non Outdoor Soc Members
£4 for membership for the rest of term
Tickets can be bought online at www.yusu.org/shop all week.
We offer a choice of two walks- a medium walk of 8-12km with lunch at a lovely local pub or a long walk of 15-18km where you bring your own packed lunch. If you choose to do a medium walk don't forget money for the pub, because not all of them take cards. If you do a long walk don't forget to bring lunch or else you'll be very hungry!
Please wear appropriate clothing for a walk in the English countryside! Walking boots are best, but if you don't have any, sturdy trainers should be fine. Try and avoid wearing jeans, because they get very unpleasant to wear when it rains. As this is England you should always be prepared for rain, no matter HOW sunny it looks, so remember to bring waterproofs or other appropriate wet weather gear.
Any questions feel free to email us at outdoorsoc@yusu.org.
