Systems for developing pictorial representations of suspects’ faces have been used regularly in the UK since 1970 when PhotoFIT enabled police to locate the murderer of James Cameron in Islington, London. In this system, and the computerised versions of it that followed, a likeness is achieved by piecing together individual facial features that are selected by the witness from a card catalogue or computer database. Unfortunately, witnesses find it difficult to recall descriptions of faces from memory (especially unfamiliar faces). To address this drawback a new approach has been developed that makes use of the inherent human capacity for recognising similarities between faces rather than feature recall. Researchers at the University of Kent (Gibson and Solomon) have pioneered this approach and their work has led to commercial systems, EFIT-V and EFIT6, which are now used by the majority of UK police and by law enforcement agencies in many other countries. ABOUT DR STUART GIBSON Dr Stuart Gibson is a Senior Lecturer and Director of Innovation and Enterprise in the School of Physical Sciences at the University of Kent. His research interests include image and signal processing, facial identification, imaging machine learning and artificial intelligence. He has published work in a diverse range of subject areas including computer science, forensic science, psychology and chemistry. The significant social and commercial benefits of his work were instrumental in placing Kent equal 7th nationally for physics research impact in the Research Excellence Framework 2014. ► Find out more about Dr Stuart Gibson: http://bit.ly/2utQXOM Find the University of Kent on social media: ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UniversityofKent ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/unikent ► Instagram: https://instagram.com/unikentlive/ ► LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/university-of-kent yt:video:_6SDLay-Cf4 _6SDLay-Cf4 UCKLrnWj1C9-qItizLhloDZg University of Kent https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKLrnWj1C9-qItizLhloDZg 2017-07-17T07:45:13+00:00 2017-07-29T23:13:18+00:00 Academic writing: an imbalanced relationship? | Jonathan Fitchett | Think Kent ► SEARCH for a course at the University of Kent: http://bit.ly/2vcDhEN ► Research at Kent: http://bit.ly/2sPW5sZ ► SUBSCRIBE for more Think Kent lectures: http://www.youtube.com/user/UniversityofKent?sub_confirmation=1 THINK KENT – INTERNATIONAL THINKERS | GLOBAL IMPACT For far too long, and in spite of educational movements to redress the situation, the relationship between the academy and the aspiring academic writer (particularly those whose first language is not English) has been one of imbalance. Without trying to negate the 'master-student' relationship, a more constructive and humanistic approach to academic writing may be called for: that of 'partnership'. To that end, this talk touches on the academic literacy approach to writing (as proposed by Lea and Street (1998), Lillis (2003) and others) that acknowledges a writer's experiences and identity in a transformative rather than normative pedagogy. It will also mention the potentially wide-reaching implications such a 're-think' has for the academy. ABOUT JONATHAN FITCHETT Jonathan has been teaching English in various guises and on various continents for over 27 years.

There are record-breaking numbers of unbelievers – like the 100% of young Icelanders who now say they do not believe in a creator God – and debates around how unbelievers are protected in law or provided for in public services. There are also the sometimes controversial antitheistic perspectives of Richard Dawkins and his fellow ‘new atheists’. But underlying these phenomena and our interest in them is a paradox. As the column inches and academic interest continues to grow, the question arises: what is it exactly that we are interested in? After all, aren’t atheism and unbelief not phenomena in themselves, so much as they are ways of describing the absence of other phenomena – belief in God, or other religious beliefs? And if unbelief does not exist in any meaningful way, why do have so much to say about it? In this talk, Dr Lois Lee, director of the Understanding Unbelief research programme at University of Kent, shows why there might be more to unbelief than meets the eye. Learn more about the Understanding Unbelief programme at http://www.understanding-unbelief.net. Follow the programme at @U_Unbelief and Lois Lee’s work at @loielee . ABOUT DR LOIS LEE Dr Lee joined the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Kent in 2017 as a Research Fellow, and will take up post as lecturer in 2019. She is Principle Investigator on the Scientific Study of Non-religious Belief project (UCL Institute of Advanced Studies) and the Understanding Unbelief programme (Religious Studies, University of Kent), both majorly funded by the John Templeton Foundation.  Her current research interests centre on the nature of the existential in modernity, with an empirical focus on nonreligious populations. Building on past work (e.g. at the Religion and Political Theory Centre at UCL’s School of Public Policy), Dr Lee’s work engages normatively as well as scientifically with questions around the role of religious and nonreligious existential culture in public life. Theoretically, her research concerns the concept of religion and egalitarian conceptual approaches (such as ‘worldview’, or concepts of ‘existential culture’); secularisation and other theories of religious change; and socio-political approaches to religion and existential culture, including political secularism and pluralism. As PI of the Understanding Unbelief programme (Jan 2017-Sept 2019), Dr Lee’s work will focus on the way in which social structures and regional cultures shape the religious and existential beliefs and commitments of so-called unbelievers, addressing questions about the nature and diversity of those beliefs and commitments. As well as core research undertaken by Dr Lee and the programme team, the Understanding Unbelief programme will involve numerous academic and non-academic collaborators from around the world. Dr Lee is founding director of the Nonreligion and Secularity Research Network (NSRN), co-editor of the journal, Secularism and Nonreligion (S&N) and co-editor of the NSRN book series, Religion and Its Others: Studies in Religion, Nonreligion and Secularity (De Gruyter). She also works with community groups as well as national and local media to disseminate her own and NSRN research outside of academia. Dr Lee studied History (BA Hons, University of Leeds) and Sociology (MPhil & PhD, University of Cambridge), before taking up research and teaching roles at the University of Kent (Religious Studies) and UCL (School of Public Policy; Institute of Advanced Studies). Her early research focused on religious and nonreligious identities and beliefs in relation to nineteenth century political thought, before moving on to contemporaneous, sociological studies of people who are identified as nonreligious. Her doctoral research explored what it means to be nonreligious, and argued that, not only is nonreligious culture a present and influential force in contemporary societies, but that its study also helps us to recognise the existential, meaning-making dimension to the lives of nonreligious people – something that the nonreligious and religious have in common. ► Find out more about Dr Lois Lee: http://bit.ly/2taUodB Find the University of Kent on social media: ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UniversityofKent ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/unikent ► Instagram: https://instagram.com/unikentlive/ ► LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/university-of-kent yt:video:JG091vOwDOg JG091vOwDOg UCKLrnWj1C9-qItizLhloDZg University of Kent https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKLrnWj1C9-qItizLhloDZg 2017-07-17T07:45:13+00:00 2017-07-24T11:02:19+00:00 What Can States Do in Times of Crisis?

Five days later, the government declared a State of Emergency and claimed the need to ‘derogate’ from its human rights obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights. United Nations and Council of Europe experts have expressed concern at the scale and scope of Turkey’s response, including mass suspensions, detentions and immediate closures affecting the judiciary, the army and police, education, trade unions and the media. In this lecture, Darren Dinsmore from Kent Law School, examines what limits States can place on human rights in times of crisis, identifies core problems with the Turkish government's use of emergency powers, and outlines the role of the European Court of Human Rights. ABOUT DR DARREN DINSMORE Darren is a Lecturer in Law at Kent Law School, where he convenes courses on International Law and International Human Rights Law. Darren completed his PhD and taught at the School of Law at Queen's University Belfast, and held a Teaching Fellowship at Keele University prior to joining Kent Law School. Darren's research interests are in human rights law, armed conflict, emergency powers and forced displacement. Darren has a monograph, 'Forced Movement and International Human Rights Law: The ECHR in Turkey', being published by Intersentia in 2018. ► Find out more about Dr Darren Dinsmore: http://bit.ly/2tTuhoT Find the University of Kent on social media: ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UniversityofKent ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/unikent ► Instagram: https://instagram.com/unikentlive/ ► LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/university-of-kent yt:video:n3AxoMn50lI n3AxoMn50lI UCKLrnWj1C9-qItizLhloDZg University of Kent https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKLrnWj1C9-qItizLhloDZg 2017-07-17T07:45:12+00:00 2017-07-20T23:20:29+00:00 Engineering Sensors of Everyday Life | Professor John Batchelor | Think Kent ► SEARCH for a course at the University of Kent: http://bit.ly/2tnkPIn ► Research at Kent: http://bit.ly/2tR3VVT ► SUBSCRIBE for more Think Kent lectures: http://www.youtube.com/user/UniversityofKent?sub_confirmation=1 ► Find out more about Professor John Batchelor: http://bit.ly/2vl7guA Find the University of Kent on social media: ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UniversityofKent ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/unikent ► Instagram: https://instagram.com/unikentlive/ ► LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/university-of-kent yt:video:J9-1B2XcayA J9-1B2XcayA UCKLrnWj1C9-qItizLhloDZg University of Kent https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKLrnWj1C9-qItizLhloDZg 2017-07-17T07:45:12+00:00 2017-07-24T23:15:39+00:00 Integrated care evaluation: "How can I be sure?" | Professor Jenny Billings ► Centre for Health Service Studies: http://bit.ly/2sY9QFR ► SEARCH for a course at the University of Kent: http://bit.ly/2taGNDa ► Research at Kent: http://bit.ly/2tQl3v0 ► SUBSCRIBE for more Think Kent lectures: http://www.youtube.com/user/UniversityofKent?sub_confirmation=1 THINK KENT – INTERNATIONAL THINKERS | GLOBAL IMPACT This presentation builds a case for politicians, service providers and evaluators to be more realistic about what integrated care can achieve and how it can be measured.
