| Jelinek in the Arena | Allyson Fiddler (DELC), Rebecca Braun (DELC) and Karen Juers-Munby (LICA)are planning activities and a conference on the work of Austrian Nobel-Prizing winning author and playwright, Elfriede Jelinek. Timed to coincide with the run-up to the London Olympics, the conference invites papers on questions within three 'spheres' of interest in particular: a) Jelinek's engagement with the theme and discourse of sport in many of her works, as well as the utilisation of sport in the performances of her work; b) performing Jelinek as a mode of translating her written work onto the stage or into the community; c) Jelinek in translation. We also welcome papers where Jelinek might be one of several authors/ playwrights/ cultural theorists considered.

| Partnership for Education and Research about Responsible Living | PERL is a partnership of educators and researchers from over 100 institutions in more than 40 countries-working to empower citizens to live responsible and sustainable lifestyles. ImaginationLancaster is collaborating within two specific projects of the larger PERL initiative: SEE (Sustainable Everyday Explorations) and SEEK (Sustainable Everyday Enabling Kit). Both are funded by the European Commission between 2009 and 2012. Their common aim is to promote and facilitate projects and programmes where design thinking and tools are used to enhance social innovation and sustainability at the local scale. That is, to re-generate the territorial social and environmental ecology. Project staff within LICA: Daniela Sangiorgi |
