May 2018 was a special month for HCRI, most notably for the launch of our 10 Year Anniversary<\/a>. To celebrate a decade of HCRI, this year will see a large programme of events that highlight HCRI\u2019s journey, achievements and future ambitions.<\/p>\n

The anniversary launch event took place at the Royal Northern College of Music on Wednesday 16th<\/sup> May. This consisted of a drinks reception, followed by a film screening of PILI. PILI is a ground-breaking collaboration between the filmmakers and the women of Miono, Tanzania, whose real stories the film is based upon and who make up the ensemble cast of non-actors, 65% of whom are HIV positive. PILI is the first ever social-realist feature film to focus on women living with HIV in East Africa. It is one of the few films made in Africa that features an ensemble female cast and that uses almost entirely non-actors.<\/p>\n

Q&A with Dr Sophie Harman, film producer of PILI.<\/p><\/div>\n

The screening was introduced by Professor Luke Georghiou, Deputy President and Deputy Vice-Chancellor at The University of Manchester. It was then followed by a Q&A with the film\u2019s producer, Dr Sophie Harman. Sophie gave us an insight into how they merged many real stories to create the script, what it was like to make the film with non-actors, and the taboos surrounding HIV in Tanzania.<\/p>\n

This was a wonderful event that brought together our staff, students, alumni, partners and friends. For HCRI\u2019s upcoming events, have a look at our events page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Following the anniversary launch, HCRI held Symposium for our PhD students on May 22nd<\/sup>. This event showcased the research of our PhD students and encouraged lively debate and discussion around each other\u2019s work. It was great to see such positive engagement.<\/p>\n

PhD student Louise Tomkow said:<\/p>\n

\u2018Sometimes, working in a multidisciplinary institute can leave you thinking: Do I fit in here? Does anyone really get where I’m coming from or what I am trying to do? Tuesday’s symposium provided the answers to these indulgent existential questions that only PhD students have the time to ask:\u00a0yes,\u00a0and yes.<\/p>\n

Although the research presented was geographically, temporally and methodologically diverse, as well as being in various stages of completion, several commonalities emerged. First was\u00a0how individual researchers brought their own unique skill set and\u00a0enthusiasm to their work; although students’\u00a0backgrounds are wide-ranging, the enthusiasm is pervasive. Second were some of the broad conceptual\u00a0themes which cut across\u00a0research projects, such as positionality and\u00a0power. Lastly, most importantly,\u00a0and at the risk of sounding\u00a0nauseatingly sentimental,\u00a0it was the shared values which\u00a0struck me the most. Despite being critically engaged, all the work presented had the potential for real-world impact, and seemed to be underpinned by ideas of equity and a desire to improve conditions for the most vulnerable. Consequently, I feel\u00a0privileged\u00a0to be part of the\u00a0academic community at the HCRI.\u2019<\/p>\n
