BGU Lecturer to be Keynote Speaker at TEDx Brayford Pool Women
Dr Elinor Vettraino is one of four women asked to speak at the inaugural TEDx Brayford Pool Women event. TEDWomen & TEDx Brayford Pool Women will celebrate how dynamic and diverse women across the world are showing up to face challenges head on, all while empowering each other to shape the future we all want to see. The theme chosen for the event is 'Showing Up', a concept that has certainly resonated with Elinor: "Showing Up is such a pertinent theme for us to be considering. For me, it is about the manner in which we show up at times when the opposite reaction is our natural choice. "So, how do we develop the ability to be present in a situation where the very act of doing that is painful? "It's an important lesson in resilience and one that our students in the Business and Enterprise area wrestle with all the time." Our academics are regularly invited to present at conferences and events around the world, you can follow all their travels on our news page and find out how you can start your own adventures on our course pages or by booking onto one of our Open Days. -
Lincoln Teenage Christmas Markets hailed a resounding success
BG Futures, the Careers, Employability and Enterprise arm of Bishop Grosseteste University (BGU) put on not one, but two Teenage Market events over the weekend with both proving a resounding success. Saturday’s market took place in the City Square Co-op while Sunday’s market took place as part of the Christmas Extravaganza at BGU. Both offered an exciting array of unique and eye-catching stalls, along with performances from the BGSU Dance Society as well as resident DJ on the Sunday. Becky Goodman, Enterprise Development Manager at BGU, was delighted to see the whole Teenage Market community come together to make both events a success: “Both events were extremely successful for our traders and performers, and it was great to see the community come out and support us. “I am thankful, once again to Lincolnshire Co-op for providing us with such a welcoming indoor space during the colder months, to BGSU Dance society for performing, and to the BG Futures team for giving up their weekend to run two fantastic events. “We also had a resident DJ, Luke with us on Sunday and this proved a great hit – I am hopeful that we can bring Luke on board again during the warmer months when we are outside in The Cornhill and City Square, as live performance always further enhances our events.” The next market takes place in the City Square Co-op on the 9th February.

The exhibition, ‘Vote100: A Lincolnshire View of Women’s Suffrage’, charts the story of the campaign for the vote, locally and nationally. The content also includes some new material on the strengthening of the role of women in local politics in Lincoln. The exhibition was first developed in partnership with Lincoln Central Library, and has since been on tour in locations in the city and in North Kesteven. The content has been designed by staff and recent students of BGU, together with the input of Lincoln Central Library staff and other partners and contributors. Dr Andrew Jackson, Historian and Head of Research at BGU, emphasised the significance of the exhibition: “It is a privilege and a symbolic opportunity to have placed our Vote100 exhibition in the historic centre of city politics on the eve of the centenary. The campaign for the vote for women was a very long and hard fought one, demanding great commitment and remarkable personal sacrifice. The story, which includes the role of women of the county, is a very inspiring one for present times” Sian Hope Johnson MA, recent BGU English Literature student, who has also been involved in the exhibition’s curation added: “This year’s celebrations of the centenary of Women’s suffrage have been immense. To be able to add Lincolnshire’s women into the narrative has been an honour. The exhibition tells the story of the fight for Women’s suffrage in Lincolnshire, but, for me, it tells of the struggle, determination and perseverance of women county wide. I am proud, more than ever, to be a Lincolnshire Woman” The Research Team at BGU are dedicated to preserving and championing the history of Lincolnshire and its residents.
