SUMMARY:Inaugural Lecture by Professor Athanassios Bissas
DESCRIPTION:#Biomechrunning: From Koroivos of Elis to Usain of Jamaica and into the Future\n\n\n\nInaugural Lecture by Professor Athanassios Bissas\n\n\n\nAthanassios Bissas\, Professor of Sports and Exercise Technologies\, presents his Inaugural Lecture. \n\n\n\nSprint running is one of the oldest athletic events that has dominated the athletics scene since the first ancient Olympic games in 776 BC. Has this happened through an evolution process where this competitive gait has managed to adapt and modernise itself to remain contemporary? If this is the case\, how do the sprinters of the 21st century compare to the ancient runners competing barefoot on plain dirt surface? What does the future of sprinting look like? \n\n\n\nHaving spent over two decades studying sprint running through a biomechanical lens\, Professor Bissas will philosophise about this pure\, uncomplicated and aesthetic mode of human locomotion that obeys unfailingly the laws of classical mechanics. \n\n\n\nThe Speaker \n\n\n\nFollowing the successful completion of his BA (Hons) Physical Education & Sports Studies with QTS at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens\, Athanassios completed an MSc\, PGCert and PhD at Leeds Beckett University. Having begun his academic career at the University of York\, he subsequently spent seventeen years at Leeds Beckett University\, most recently as the Head of Sport & Exercise Biomechanics. Having joined the University of Gloucestershire in 2020\, Athanassios was appointed Professor of Sport and Exercise Technologies in March 2021. As well as being an Editorial Board Member for the journal Scientific Data – Nature\, he is currently the Deputy Chair of the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences: Biomechanics and Motor Behaviour Division. \n\n\n\nThroughout his journey he has been pursuing excellence in teaching\, research and leadership. An internationally respected scholar in his field\, Athanassios has produced 144 research items which have been read over thirty-three thousand times. His approach to scientific inquiry is all about working with fellow scientists to make a tangible contribution to methodologies and applications in sport performance\, exercise and health contexts.

SUMMARY:Inaugural Lecture by Professor Kenny Lynch
DESCRIPTION:Communities\, development and what lessons Mwalimu and Madiba have for us in the 21st Century\n\n\n\nInaugural Lecture by Professor Kenny Lynch\n\n\n\nKenny Lynch\, Professor of Development and Community at the University of Gloucestershire\, presents his inaugural lecture. \n\n\n\nThe Lecture \n\n\n\nIn his inaugural lecture\, Kenny will explore his initial interests in research\, which started with food production and supply in Tanzania\, where the country experimented with a distinctly African form of development under the initial presidency of Julius ‘Mwalimu’ Nyerere. \n\n\n\nLater\, Kenny’s teaching and research took him to other parts of the world\, including several field trips of undergraduate students from Gloucestershire to South Africa to explore the legacy of Apartheid in South Africa. There he learned with the students about the response to the challenges the country faced under the first democratic president\, Nelson ‘Madiba’ Mandela. \n\n\n\nHe will explore the links between his early research and the work he is doing now\, which focuses on what access to basic necessities like food and sanitation can tell us about the challenges faced by fast-growing cities. His lecture aims to explore some of the findings of this research\, as well as what lessons can be learned from Mwalimu and Madiba for the 21st century. \n\n\n\nThe Speaker \n\n\n\nFollowing the completion of his MA in Geography at the University of Aberdeen\, Kenny studied for his PhD in Geography at the University of Glasgow. Having undertaken academic appointments at the Universities of Glasgow\, Aberdeen\, and Kingston University\, he joined the University of Gloucestershire in 2005\, progressing from the role of Senior Lecturer in Geography to his current position as Professor of Development and Communities. \n\n\n\nA Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and Royal Geographic Society\, Kenny holds a wealth of experience as a peer reviewer for numerous international journals he has served on committees and panels of the Royal Geographical Society\, the Geographical Association\, The Australian Research Council\, the South African National Research Foundation\, as a trustee of the Diocese of Gloucester Academies Trust\, and a currently serves as a member of the Editorial Boards for both the South African Geographical Journal and GEOVerse\, an undergraduate journal of geography. \n\n\n\nKenny is an experienced PhD supervisor and examiner\, and has published widely in international journals. His research focuses on the relationship between the city and countryside in the developing world where rapidly growing cities interrupt and mix identities\, livelihoods\, practices and attitudes. His work has focused on urban and peri-urban agriculture\, zoonotic disease transmission in rapidly growing cities and access to sanitation. \n\n\n\nAs well as working with geographers\, Kenny has also collaborated with sociologists\, criminologists\, economists and clinicians amongst others in his work\, publishing research on learning and teaching\, housing\, restorative justice and street markets in the UK.
