I'm delighted to speak with Dave Bright and Dr Oliver Runswick in this episode. Dave is a coach and Senior Lecturer in Sport Coaching at Chichester University. His main research interests are in motor learning and its application to practical sport coaching. Dave has coached martial arts for 25+ years. And it was from his experiences in coaching that led him to do a Sport Science Coaching degree, then a Sport & Exercise Psychology Masters degree. Dave's current role requires him to develop undergraduate students as sport coaches, providing them with an awareness and understanding of the underpinning motor learning and coaching research. Dave is undertaking a PhD investigating the effects of cognitive load and autonomous task selection in motor learning. Ollie is a Senior Lecturer in the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience at King's College London. His research focuses on understanding and enhancing learning and performance in domains including sport, dance, education, and the military.  Ollie is the Editor in Chief of Perceptual and Motor Learning Skills at Sage Publishing and a Human Performance Technology Consultant providing consultancy in virtual reality applications, skill acquisition and motor learning, perceptual-cognitive skill, training/practice design, talent ID and development, vision in performance and performance systems. Ollie received a first-class BSc in Sport and Exercise Science from Swansea University, MSc in Human Movement Science from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, PGCHE from St Mary's University, and PhD from Liverpool Hope University where he studied perceptual-motor skills based with St Mary's University's Expertise and Skill Acquisition Research Group.   Dave, Ollie and I discuss a paper they co-wrote along with Dr Jenny Smith, Dr Philip Kearney which compares two learning conditions - task-related autonomy and cognitive effort. Research has shown that both feelings of autonomy (as supported by OPTIMAL theory) and cognitive effort (as supported by Challenge Point) can positively impact skill development. This research paper aimed to compare these two approaches to learning. Results showed no differences between the effects of autonomy and cognitive effort, but uncovered participants use of tactical learning to improve. We unpack the paper and discuss its real-world application for coaching settings.

Sheila Dillon joins diners eating together in Manchester and Copenhagen, and hears why some think we should be making more time in the UK for eating communally.During World War II, British Restaurants provided nutritious, affordable meals across the UK. Endorsed by Winston Churchill, they ensured good food was accessible to all. Now, some believe this model should return.Professor Bryce Evans from Liverpool Hope University explains why reviving communal dining could help tackle today's cost-of-living crisis. In Manchester, we hear from "The Manc Kitchen" - a pilot inspired by MP Ian Byrne's "Scouse Kitchen" and his "Right to Food" campaign. Similar initiatives are emerging across the UK.Sheila Dillon travels to Copenhagen, "the capital of communal dining," to see how the Danes have embraced eating together. She visits Absalon, a repurposed church where 200 people dine each night, and Grønne Eng (Green Meadows), a co-housing community where 190 residents cook and share meals communally four times a week. Even in workplaces, communal dining is the norm—Sheila eats with a team of architects at a long table.Food writer Heidi Svømmekjær explains how Denmark's long, dark winters have shaped this culture, making shared meals a way to foster warmth and connection.With food insecurity and loneliness on the rise, Sheila asks if communal restaurants be a solution?

Fri, 07 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://seesee.podigee.io/s3e15-david-canter 3e6de251ee69733d078e91ed54a1fc8b Have you ever pondered the potential of psychology to facilitate the apprehension of serial killers and rapists? Or the manner in which behavioral patterns exhibited by criminals can serve as crucial evidence that leads investigators to the perpetrator's doorstep? In today's episode, we are delighted to have the privilege of hosting Professor David Canter, a globally renowned applied social psychologist and the pioneering figure behind the field of investigative psychology. This episode promises a deep dive into the mind of a criminal, the psychology behind some of the world's most notorious cases. So, grab a pen, your notebook and follow Professor David Canter through the dark alleys of the minds of serial offenders as he sheds light on how their behavior is mapped and tracked. We'll go back in time to the streets of London as we examine famous cases such as Jack the Ripper, and travel back to the 1980s to learn about Operation Hart, the Metropolitan Police's investigation into the infamous 'Railway Rapist', which Professor Canter played a key role in solving. We will delve into the heart of criminal behavior as we learn about Quantico and the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit, and the truth about criminal profiling. We'll also talk about his revolutionary development of geographical profiling, the study of criminal behavior patterns across locations, the importance of information classification and investigative methods that lead to an arrest, and how these pieces of the puzzle led to the creation of his software, DRAGNETK. But that's not all - Prof Canter will also share his thoughts on why the United States has such a high incidence of brutal shootings and serial killings compared to other nations, and what happens when crime goes unpunished. A pioneer and creator of investigative psychology, Professor Canter is Emeritus Professor at the University of Liverpool and a visiting professor at Liverpool Hope University and Bucks New University. He's also the man responsible for introducing environmental psychology to the UK and Europe in the 1960s, studying how spaces such as offices, schools and hospitals affect our behavior. Professor Canter recently completed a PhD in Music composition. https://www.davidcanter.com X (Twitter): @ProfDavidCanter Blogs: http://tinyurl.com/ybkp6kky Prof. David Canter's latest book Criminal Psychology in Action: A project-based approach is available to order: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/overview-criminal-psychology-through-projects-ready-carry-canter-dglae Examples of Professor Canter's musical compositions are available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTkxt_0qEDE 3 15 full no nvestigative psychology,Criminal profiling,Geographical profiling,DRAGNETK software,Railway Rapist,Quantico FBI Behavioral Science Unit,FBI,Mapping Murder,Jack the Ripper,Serial killers Dr. Cecilia Ponce Rivera

Are you there God? It's me…Why is God hidden? Why is God silent? And why does that matter in light of faith, hope, and love?In this episode, philosopher Deborah Casewell joins Evan Rosa for a discussion of divine hiddenness. Together, they reflect on:Simone Weil's distinction between abdication and abandonmentMartin Luther's theology of the crossThe differences between the epistemic, moral, and existential problems with the hiddenness of GodThe terror, horror, and fear that emerges from the human experience of divine hiddennessThe realities of seeing through a glass darkly and pursuing faith, hope, and loveAnd finally, what it means to live bravely in the tension or contracdition between the hiddenness of God and the faith in God's presence.About Deborah CasewellDeborah Casewell is Associate Professor in Philosophy at the University of Chester. She works in the areas of philosophy and culture, philosophy of religion, and theology & religion, in particular on existentialism and religion, questions of ethics and self-formation in relation to asceticism and the German cultural ideal of Bildung.

Brian KolodiejchukWhat does it mean for God to be hidden?Perceived absenceSimone Weil on God's abdication of the world for the sake of the worldThe presence of God. This should be understood in two ways. As Creator, God is present in everything which exists as soon as it exists. The presence for which God needs the co-operation of the creature is the presence of God, not as Creator but as Spirit. The first presence is the presence of creation. The second is the presence of decreation. (He who created us without our help will not save us without our consent. Saint Augustine.) God could create only by hiding himself. Otherwise there would be nothing but himself. — Simone Weil, in Gravity and Grace, “Decreation”Abdication vs. AbandonmentA longing for God, who is hidden, unknown, unperceived, and mysteriousMartin Luther's theology of the cross“Hidden in the suffering and ignominy of the cross.”“God is powerful but chooses not to be in relation to us.”Human experiences of divine hiddennessThree ways to talk about hiddenness of God epistemic hiddenness:  ”if we were to grasp God with our minds, then we'd be denying the power of God.”Making ourselves an idolThe Cloud of Unknowing and “apophatic” or “negative” theology (only saying what God is not) Moral hiddenness of God: “this is what people find very troubling. … a moral terror to it.” Existential hiddenness of God: “where the hiddenness of God makes you feel terrified”Revelation and the story of human encounter or engagement with God“Luther is the authority on the hiddenness of God in the existential and moral sense.”The power of God revealed in terror.“God never becomes comfortable or accommodated into our measure.””We never make God into an object of our reason and comfort.”Terror, horror, and fear: reverence of GodMarilyn McCord Adams, *Christ & Horrors—*meaning-destroying events“That which is hidden terrifies us.”Martin Luther: “God is terrifying, because God does save some of us, and God does damn some of us.”The “alien work of God”“Is Luther right in saying that God has to remain hidden, and the way in which God has to remain hidden  has to be terrifying? So there has to be this kind  of background of the terrifying God in all of our relations with the God of love that is the God of grace that, that saves us.”Preserving the mystery of GodWe're unable to commodify or trivialize God.Francis Schaeffer's He Is There and He Is Not Silent“Luther construes it as a good thing.”Suffering, anxiety, despair, meaninglessnessHumanity's encounter with nothingness—the void“Interest in the demonic, or terror, as a preliminary step into a  full religious or a proper religious experience of God.”Longing for God in the BibleNoah, Moses, David“The other side of divine hiddenness is human loneliness.”Loneliness and despair as “what your life is going to be like without God.” (Barton Newell)Tension in the experience of faith1 Corinthians 13:12:  ”Now we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know even as I also am known.”Faith, hope, and love abides in the face of epistemic, moral, and existential hiddenness of God.The meaning of struggling with the hiddenness of God for the human pursuit of faith, hope, and love“Let tensions be.””But you've always got to keep the reality of faith, hope, and love, keep hold of the fact that that is a reality, and that can and will be a reality. It's, it's, not to try and justify it, not to try and harmonize it, but just to hold it, I suppose. And hold it even in its contradiction.”Production NotesThis podcast featured Deborah CasewellEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Emily Brookfield, Alexa Rollow, & Zoë HalabanA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/give

Fr. Khomych's handout can be found here: https://tinyurl.com/mezrz8pr This talk was given on November 15th, 2022, at the University of Oxford. For more information, please visit thomisticinstitute.org. About the speaker: Fr. Khomych is a Lecturer in Early Christian Literature and Byzantine Theology at Liverpool Hope University. After the fall of communism, he began my theological education in Ukraine and entered the Lviv Theological Academy (later on transformed into the Ukrainian Catholic University) at the moment when the theological tradition had just been revived. Shortly thereafter, he continued his studies at the Faculty of Theology at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium), where he obtained his Master in Religious Studies as well as his Master and Doctoral Degree in Theology. His research interests lie mostly in early Christian literature, the writings of the Apostolic Fathers (1st & 2nd centuries) in particular, as well as later Patristic writings of the Byzantine period, including Old Slavonic transmission of early Christian literature. As a Catholic priest, he is involved in pastoral care of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church in the UK and in chaplaincy at St Edward's College in Liverpool.

Recent podcast guest Dr Noel Brown (Senior Lecturer in Film and Programme Leader for Film and Visual Culture, Liverpool Hope University) returns for this Footnote episode on Dual Address, and the ways in which children's fiction (and cultural products more broadly) might engage multiple registers and include simultaneous meaning for both child and adult audiences. Listen as Chris, Alex, and Noel discuss its emergence within the field of children's literature and status as a ‘hypothetical' category; relationships to ‘single' address and questions of subtext; the role of humour, literacy, and intertextual referencing; hierarchies of knowledge and taste; and how Dual Address function as a strategy to think through industry, audience appeal, and even the rise of replay home video culture. **Fantasy/Animation theme tune composed by Francisca Araujo** Suggested Readings

Episode 106 marks Chris and Alex's first foray into the filmmaking career of Steven Spielberg as they take on the director's 1982 science-fiction fantasy E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. To help explore the film's status as a landmark of popular U.S. cinema is special guest Dr Noel Brown, who is Senior Lecturer in Film and Programme Leader for Film and Visual Culture at Liverpool Hope University. Noel has published extensively in the areas of children's cinema, family films, and animation, including the recent monograph Contemporary Hollywood Animation: Style, Storytelling, Culture and Ideology Since the 1990s (2020) and edited collection The Oxford Handbook of Children's Film (2022). Listen as the trio discuss the origins of the ‘family film' as a prestige category within histories of Hollywood cinema; the contributions of Spielberg, George Lucas, and E.T. to the reinvention of cinema as family entertainment; emotion and strategies of ‘relatability'; dual address, disposability, and the darkness of Spielberg's stories; outsiderdom and alienation in relation to the realities of American childhood in the 1980s; puppetry, animatronics and the materiality of VFX; traditions of gender performance and radical renditions of masculinity/femininity in animation; and how E.T. navigates the experience of loss and the ability to feel again. **Fantasy/Animation theme tune composed by Francisca Araujo**

Welcome to another episode of the Performance Psychcast. Today we are very fortunate to be speaking with Dr Robin Owen. Our podcast episode today is around Focus of Attention and the theories surrounding it.  Robin is a lecturer at Liverpool Hope University and is interested in all things motor control and skill acquisition. His research interests include how movement planning and execution are affected by pressure, anxiety, changes in self-control resources, and different attentional foci (i.e., focusing on the body vs focusing on an object/movement effect).  Twitter:  @RobinOwenPsych  Email: owenr@hope.ac.uk  www.focusperform.co.uk www.arcope.co.uk 

Founder of Pro Vox in Liverpool, Senior Popular Vocals Lecturer at Leeds Conservatoire, volunteer at the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen Hospital Voice Clinic, researcher and PHD student specialising in singers experiences in using in-ear technology. Carrie Birmingham joins Alexa this week on Singing Teachers Talk to talk us through her speciality, in-ear technology.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Carrie started looking into in-ear technology and protection when talking to singers about the lack of precautions they take and how they don't consider what permanent damage could be done in the future. As someone with a hearing impairment, these are things that Carrie thinks about often.  We need to be aware of what our exposure levels actually are but it's hard in today's world where we're inundated with loud noise. Even walking down the street or eating at a restaurant, you'd be surprised just how high the decibel levels actually get.  Hearing is a psychoacoustic response, meaning that we all hear things in a different way. For one person something could be incredibly loud and damage their hearing, whereas someone may be more used to that level of exposure. It's about experimenting with what is right for you.  Cassie thinks that as teachers we need to be more proactive about making our students who have higher exposure more aware of what they need to do to keep safe. If your singer works regularly in a band or with a drummer, we should know right away that they are at higher risk.  BEST MOMENTS ‘There are many performers who have tinnitus and some to a level where they can't perform anymore'  ‘Is your in-ear mix safe?' ‘Singers respond to what they're hearing as well as what they're feeling' EPISODE RESOURCES  BAST Training Guest Website: http://www.facebook.com/ProVox1 @ProVoxLiverpool Contact Email:  mccsb@leeds.ac.uk cbirmingham@lcm.ac.uk Relevant Links & Mentions:  Soundbrenner Watch Artists mentioned: Plan B, Chris Martin, Mariah Carey, Sigrid  Help Musicians UK: https://www.helpmusicians.org.uk/ Psycho-Acoustics: David Howard & Ian Howell  ABOUT THE GUEST  Carrie Birmingham is vocal teacher and researcher based across Liverpool and Leeds. Alongside running her own private studio, Pro Vox based in Liverpool, she is also a Senior Popular Vocals Lecturer at Leeds Conservatoire, a Vocal Health Education First Aid Assessor, a Singing Specialist Volunteer (VRC) at the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen Hospital voice clinic, alongside current study as a PhD candidate at the School of Music, University of Leeds; specialising in 'Singers' experiences of working with in-ear technology'. As a hearing-impaired alt-rock singer currently wearing one hearing aid, her recent years of research have taken a specific focus as to 'how we hear' and more specifically 'how singers hear', alongside 'the impact of hearing devices/protection during live performance', which is a field lacking in research. Carrie hopes to bring new theories to light within this subject matter across coming years. Carrie recently completed her MA in Applied Practice of Vocal Pedagogy with Voice Workshop Ltd. alongside recent years' worth of CPD in Vocal Anatomy, Vocal Health, Teaching Young and Changing Voices, Auditory Processing, Vocal Rehab, and The Exploration of Tinnitus, to name a few. Prior to recent studies she holds a Teaching Diploma in Popular Vocals from the London College of Music, and a Ba (Hons) Popular Music & Drama and Theatre Studies from Liverpool Hope University. Her performance experience spans over 20 years as a dancer, musical theatre performer, actor, flautist, saxophonist, singer-songwriter performing in a variety of venues and performance settings across the UK, most notably fronting alternative-rock band, F I G U R E S since 2015 and now a new duo project, Charlie's Girl launched in late 2021. Alongside her teaching, researching, volunteering and performing roles, Carrie is also the north area representative to the Association of Teachers of Singing (AOTOS) where she is involved in bringing together a community of singing teachers, choral directors, and professional voice users across the north of the UK. She hosts annual CPD events and is available to offer advice to new and growing teachers through many events and networking opportunities with the charity.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, Britons were subject to a penal system including up to 220 crimes punishable by death. These offences ranged from murder to theft, from arson to wearing blackface while poaching. Even young children, were subject to these draconian penalties. In this episode I explore the era of the so-called "bloody code" and explain how it developed, the level of enforcement, and the reasons for its demise. In this documentary style episode I interview two experts on this era in British History. Dr. Simon Devereaux Associate Professor (History) and Undergraduate Advisor at the University of Victoria Creator of the website The Old Bailey Condemned, 1730-1837 The Visitations of Horace Cotton, Ordinary of Newgate, 1823-1838 (London Records Society, forthcoming) Dr. John Walliss is senior lecturer in criminology in the School of Social Sciences, Liverpool Hope University, UK.

Dr. Dan Schneider is an Adjunct Professor of Theology at Franciscan University of Steubenville. Dan is a former amateur boxer, U.S. Army helicopter pilot and Gulf War veteran who teaches with both humor and practical experience. He has a Ph.D. in Biblical Studies from Liverpool Hope University, England. Dan has also worked for many years in the Catholic apostolate of deliverance and exorcism both at the diocesan level and as a founding member of Liber Christo, a movement in conjunction with Fr. Chad Ripperger, SMD which provides tools and resources for priests and laity working in the apostolate of exorcism. As a former attack helicopter pilot who has seen combat, Dan brings an insight into the spiritual battle we are facing today. This year, Pentecost falls on the day before the anniversary of D-Day. We are facing our own "Spiritual D-Day" as we enter into the June of all Junes, as we see SCOTUS removing their sanction on abortion and the bishops inaugurating a three year "Eucharistic Revival." Could Satan be more angry right now? We are already seeing signs of demons manifesting to incite rage and division, not unlike 2020. Victory is coming, but we must all enlist and fight. It may be a bit of hell before we break through to a glorious era of peace ... much like June 6, 1944. --------------------------------- VIDEO: Apparitions in Akita, Japan -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZyeGQJLs9A --------------------------------- Help support this podcast by becoming a US Grace Force Patron here: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=25398590 --------------------------------- Join our US Grace Force Facebook group: https://usgraceforce.com/ --------------------------------- Battle Ready Emergency Preparedness Course: Be prepared to Care for and Protect your Family in times of Natural Disasters, Emergencies, Civil Unrest, Economic Collapse, and More - All in Line with Catholic Church Teaching.

As soon as the severity of the Russian attacks on Ukraine was known, at the end of February this year, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Liverpool  launched its #liverpool4ukraine fundraising appeal. To date (end April) it has already raised well over £100,000.00 through individual donations, and scores of fundraising events. 
 
It also inspired a group of people from the Liverpool Archdiocese to actually take a consignment of aid to the Polish/Ukraine border, where they handed it over to Bishop Gregory Komar in the Diocese of Sambir-Drohobych in the Lviv region.  When the volunteer drivers saw the need in the region, they vowed to return with medical supplies, body bags and other essential items, as requested by Bishop Gregory and his team.
So, just 4 weeks later, four more consignments of essential aid is leaving Liverpool over 24th and 25th April. 
 
On today's programme, I talk with Mike Sharkey who was on the first trip, and returns this weekend, accompanied by some first-time volunteer drivers, and Dave Lyon shares his most memorable moments from the first trip he made.

Gill Boggan, Director of Finance for the Liverpool Archdiocese explains why she feels privileged to have a place as a volunteer driver on this second mission and as the vans were being packed on Friday morning, there was a chance to pause and to pray for the safety and success of this mission. 
Rev'd Canon Aidan Prescott - one of the senior clergy involved in the administration of the Archdiocese - leads the prayers and blesses the vans.

There's also an opportunity to hear from Father Taras Khomych, a Liverpool-based priest in the Ukranian-Greek Church. Both he and his wife lecture at Liverpool Hope University, and Father Taras provides pastoral care to Ukranian-Greek congregations in Liverpool, Salford and Stoke on Trent.  He leads worship for his congregation in Liverpool in St Oswald's  Roman Catholic church in Old Swan, and took part in the time of prayer for the success of the relief expedition.  He also talked with me about the reality of having parents in Lviv, who fear for what each new day will bring, and how the support of non-Ukrainians  - showing their love by welcoming refugees into their homes and raising money for essential medical supplies - is making the Ukrania people stronger in the defence of their country.
Plus - there's music from Aled Jone's CD - BLESSINGS - a beautiful, prayerful, reflective selection  of  hymns, texts and Scripture mixed with music, and reflecting a range of faiths including Roman Catholic, Muslim, Quaker, Buddhism and Christian.   
There's also our notice board - if you have items to add, and/or would like to choose your favourite hymn for inclusion in a future programme, email me - judithley@manxradio.com
I'd love to hear from you!

In this episode we are focusing on the COVID tyranny in Italy and it was wonderful to discuss this with Dr Jules Gomes, who is the Rome Correspondent for Church Militant and he never holds back with his views and strong opinions. Jules was able to give an insight into the controls imposed on the Italian people through the Green Pass that separates the jabbed from unjabbed and seeks to restrict and punish those who do want a novel experimental gene therapy. Dr Gomes also brings his fascinating insights into the inadequacies of the Catholic Church and the failings of the Pope to stand up for people's freedoms. What hope is there for a country like Italy that is strongly Catholic if the Pope himself has succumbed to COVID controls and medical tyranny? Dr Jules Gomes (BA, BD, MTh, PhD) is a Journalist, Academic and Social Conservative. Dr Jules Gomes is the Rome correspondent for Church Militant, he used to write the weekly ‘Rebel Priest' column for The Conservative Woman and has been a columnist for Frontpage Mag and Republic Standard amongst others. Dr Jules earned his doctorate from the University of Cambridge and taught at the United Theological College, London School of Theology, and Liverpool Hope University. He has been vocal on issues during the COVID pandemic such as masks, vaccines, Big Pharma, George Soros and the creeping global tyranny as well as Islam, climate change and LGBTQ issues, always holding The Vatican to account. The most journalistically driven, polished, professional reporting on the Catholic church and its worldview comes from Church Militant. That news source, founded and run by laymen, turns a probing eye at church people and doings. It frequently makes enemies. Which means it's doing its job.

Is de-radicalisation of former terrorists helpful or even possible? This presentation explores the processes involved in leaving social movements or disengaging from terrorist activities. This presentation explores the processes involved in leaving social movements or disengaging from terrorist activities by providing an analysis of transformation away from politically motivated violence towards a civilian non-military role as part of the wider Northern Irish peace process amongst Loyalist and Republican paramilitary groups. Interpretative phenomenological analysis was employed to gain an understanding of participant accounts of leaving violence behind and disengaging from terrorism. Analysis of the interview transcripts revealed the interplay of individual, organization and societal level processes in incentivizing and obstructing disengagement from politically motivated violence. The findings resonate with other case studies exploring the processes involved in disengagement from political violence among other terror groupings across the globe. The results are discussed in relation to a number of topics, including the implementation DDR in post-conflict societies, the dynamic role of collective identity in the engagement in and disengagement from politically motivated violence, the role of prison in shaping disengagement from politically motivated violence and whether the de-radicalization of former combatants is helpful or indeed possible. Neil Ferguson is Professor of Political Psychology at Liverpool Hope University and a Visiting Research Fellow to the Changing Character of War Programme at Pembroke College, Oxford.
