SUMMARY:Norah Schuster: Life and Times of a Pioneer Cytopathologist
DESCRIPTION:Lecture title: Norah Schuster: Life and Times of a Pioneer Cytopathologist (Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Lecture)\nLecture speaker: Dr Tina Matthews \nNorah Schuster was born in the late 19th century to a professor of physics at Manchester who enabled entrance to medical education at a time when female students were not welcome. As a student WW1 placed Norah into pathology laboratories in Manchester\, and after qualification she followed her family to London and the greater availability of posts for women. Norah worked around South East England and published papers on general pathology and historical matters. She was a founder member of the Royal College of Pathologists in 1963 making a generous donation to start a library and later many significant books. She died in 1991 aged 99 years. \nLecture title: Oliver Sacks and the Hidden History of Neurodivergent Reading (MacDonald Lecture)\nLecture speaker: Prof Matthew Rubery \nOliver Sacks’s bestselling books played a pivotal role in raising public awareness of neurodiversity\, especially around unconventional or stigmatized forms of reading. Building on the concept of metagnosis\, or the belated recognition of a neurological condition\, this lecture proposes that Sacks’s humane and compassionate case studies helped many individuals become aware of their own cognitive differences for the first time. Rather than pathologizing atypical cognition\, Sacks’s narratives enabled readers to identify with neurodivergent experiences\, reframing so-called ‘bad’ or ‘impaired’ reading as simply different. This talk ultimately endorses Sacks’s idea of ‘reading pluralism\,’ advocating for a more inclusive understanding of reading that embraces the diverse ways in which people do it.

SUMMARY:Cart Marking - Worshipful Company of Carmen
DESCRIPTION:The regulation of carts dates back over 750 years to the early days of the City\, when the ever entrepreneurial Carmen charged cart owners to operate their carts in the City! Having paid for a licence\, a mark would be burnt onto your wooden cart to allow that cart to ply for trade ‘for hire or reward’ for the forthcoming year. To enable that cart to continue in use\, a new mark would be branded each year on payment of the licence fee. \nEvery year the Cart Marking Parade re-enacts the branding ceremony\, vehicles are no longer limited to wooden carts\, of course; the parade now includes horse-drawn carriages\, steam engines\, fire engines\, vans\, ambulances\, bicycles\, removal vans\, electric trucks who parade along Gresham Street and through the Guildhall Arch to be branded for the princely sum of five shillings! \nWhatever the weather on the day\, join us in the Guildhall Courtyard or explore the route parade to see a really eclectic mix of all things wheeled!
