Easter Term, Week 1

Welcome back Fitz!

Exams are looming, ducks appear to have taken

over the college and spring has well and truly

sprung. If the library’s getting you down and not

even Chris’ juice and biscuits can help, then fear

not- there’s lots going on this week to get involved

in, from studies to concerts to the Wolfson

Howler.

Of course, if leaving college isn’t really your thing,

the JCR are holding an Easter egg hunt in the

grounds this Sunday with guaranteed chocolate for

just £1 entry. Get to the buttery at 1.30pm to take

part.

Have a great week one! Anna xx

'Riots Reframed'

Film Screening

and Panel

Discussion with

Fahim Alam

(Director)

Please join us on 8th May for

the Cambridge screening of

the powerful

independent documentary

film 'Riots Reframed'. This

feature-length film seeks to

reframe London's 2011 riots

through voices of resistance.

It takes the viewer through a

journey that begins in

Tottenham and spirals out to

address issues of racism,

police, power, government,

prison, war and resistance.

The film is a radical social

commentary and oral history,

which synthesises a number of

voices, from prominent

social, cultural and political

analysts, to prisoners still

recovering from time inside.

'Riots Reframed' was

produced and directed by

Fahim Alam, an Oxford law

graduate raised in

Hackney, who was falsely

arrested,

imprisoned and tagged for

'violent disorder' during the

2011 riots. The screening will

be followed by an audience-

led discussion with Fahim

Alam, amongst other

panellists (details of

which will be revealed closer

to the time). Do join us for

this exciting event and add

your voice to the discussion!

Thursday 8th May 2014, New

Divinity School, St John's

College, Cambridge.

period. Contracts of various

Cambridge Humanities Review The CHR is seeking submissions for its seventh issue, due to be released at the end of Easter Term. The Review was launched in Easter 2012 and, alongside many talented student contributors, has featured pieces by Rowan Williams, Maurice Glasman, Alistair Campbell and numerous professors. We will gladly print essays of 1500-2500 words on topics of your own choosing in any area of the arts and humanities, nourished by your own academic research or by any extracurricular interests you may have. We also accept reviews of 1500-2500 words of new academic works or exhibitions and collections based in Cambridge or beyond. If you wish to see a list of suggested titles, please visit our website at www.cambridgereview.weebly.com. Footnoting is not required, but it is requested that contributors follow the MHRA style guide as far as possible. Submissions should be challenging and detailed, however we ask that they be of interest and accessible to an audience wider than that of the writer's own individual discipline. All successful contributors will be fully acknowledged in the printed copy of the review, which will be distributed throughout the colleges, faculties and departments of Cambridge. Submissions should be sent to daniel.matore@cantab.net before Saturday the 10th of May. Please include your name, college, current degree and your submission (attached in a non-pdf format).

Cambridge Hands-On Science (CHaOS) need student volunteers!

CHaOS is a student society which aims to show children and families that science is exciting, and something that they can

understand. We're now recruiting volunteers for our 2014 Summer Roadshow – where we take a mini-bus of volunteers and a van

full of experiments camping around the country for 7 weeks in the summer, visiting schools, town halls and Scout jamborees. What

would I do? Most volunteers come on the roadshow with us for about a week. You'd get to talk to lots of children and families,

while playing with fun/noisy/messy science experiments. In the evening we do sociable stuff, such as BBQs at the beach or our

campsite. It's lots of fun, great experience in engaging the public, helpful for your CV and much better than a week of real work

(plus it shouldn't cost you any more than your time)!

Sounds great! How do I sign up? Just fill in our sign-up form **BY TUESDAY 29th APRIL** at

http://www.chaosscience.org.uk/node/1576. Any questions, contact us at contact@chaosscience.org.uk.

Weʼre incredibly excited to see Paul performing, who has too many accolades to mention them all. He is currently appearing on television as the ʻSinnermanʼ on The Chase. You may have also seen him on Mastermind, The Brain of Britain, The Weakest Link and University Challenge – The Professionals. If you havenʼt seen his stand up, however, you are missing out! Hereʼs what the press have to say about him:

http://www.paulsinha.com/press

Ed Gamble, winner of the 2014 Chortle Comedy Award for ʻBest Compereʼ, will host the event, with a set of brilliant up and coming Cambridge acts supporting. The Wolfson Howler provides a unique experience to see professional acts perform in a low-key and friendly environment where the drinks are cheap – whatʼs not to love? Come and see what all the fuss is about!

"The Wolfson Howler has finally overtaken the Footlights Smoker as Cambridge's best comedy night." - The
