SUMMARY:'Communion - Jon Doyle in conversation with Elaine Canning
DESCRIPTION:Cultural Institute Literary Salon Series\n‘Communion – Jon Doyle in conversation with Elaine Canning\nWednesday 14 October\, 18:00-19:00\nWaterstones Swansea\, The Old Carlton Cinema\, 17 Oxford St\, Swansea SA1 3AG \nREGISTER HERE: https://bit.ly/jdcommunion \nJust so we’re clear\, she said\, I know the rules of confession. What I say cannot be repeated. Not to anyone… When Mack O’Brien left his home in Port Talbot for the seminary as a teenager\, he didn’t imagine he’d be back a decade later\, unordained and still at a loss as to what makes for a moral life. He takes a job as a security guard at the local steelworks and begins an uneasy transition into the world he once rejected. When the men of the steelworks organise an unprecedented strike in protest against job cuts\, he sees no reason not to go along with it. \nThe last person Mack expects to see in the local club is Siwan Roderick – the woman who appeared out of the blue at the seminary one day to make a confession and swear him to secrecy. Mack kept his word. But as the day of the strike nears\, and as he begins to fully understand what Siwan is planning\, Mack is forced to reckon with his loyalty to her and the question of whether an act of violence can ever be justified. \nAbout the author… Jon Doyle is a writer based in Port Talbot\, South Wales. He was part of Literature Wales’ Representing Wales scheme in 2022/23\, and won the Writers & Artists Working-Class Writers’ Prize 2023. He holds a BSc and MRes in Zoology and MA in Creative Writing from Cardiff University\, and a PhD in Creative Writing from Swansea University. His work has appeared in Short Fiction\, Hobart\, Ploughshares Online\, The Rumpus\, 3:AM Magazine\, Critique: Studies in Contemporary Fiction among other places. He has been named as one of the Observer’s debut novelists of the year 2026. Communion is his first novel. \n In partnership with Atlantic Books\n*Please note: Event delivered in English.

SUMMARY:'Disability: A History of Resistance' - David Turner in conversation with Jude Rogers.
DESCRIPTION:Cultural Institute Literary Salon Series\n‘Disability: A History of Resistance’ – David Turner in conversation with Jude Rogers.\nWednesday 7 October\, 17:00-18:00\nSouth Wales Miners’ Library\, Y Storfa\, 277-278 Oxford St\, Swansea SA1 3EL \nREGISTER HERE: https://bit.ly/disabilitybook \nDespite there being more than 16 million disabled people in the UK today\, disability rarely features in mainstream accounts of our past. That absence is not down to any lack of evidence: it is a forgotten\, suppressed history – the result of deliberate choices about whose histories matter. For the first time\, this book puts disabled lives at the centre of the story of modern Britain. \nIt tells a story of resistance and ingenuity\, and often one of flourishing\, full of people who refused to be silenced or pitied. We meet the seventeenth-century labourer\, who fights accusations in court that he’s faking his disability – and wins; the eighteenth-century painter who signs her miniatures for royalty ‘without hands’; the nineteenth-century one-armed textile worker who turned his injury into activism\, demanding reform in Parliament. From the mid-twentieth century\, we see how disabled people got together to demand equality in education\, housing\, transport and the workplace – fighting for their right\, not to be treated specially\, but to lead ordinary lives like everybody else. \nFor this ground-breaking and campaigning book\, David Turner has unearthed countless forgotten voices and tales. He tells a story not about ‘progress’ led by doctors or philanthropists\, but a ground-up history of ordinary people demanding dignity and justice. And by putting disabled people back into the national story\, reveals a much fuller and richer history of modern Britain. \nDavid Turner is an award-winning social and cultural historian\, with expertise in disability\, medicine\, gender and the body. Based at Swansea University\, he is the first person in the UK to be promoted to a professorship based on their work on disability history\, and his research has appeared in publications such as ‘iNews’ and ‘BBC History Magazine’. David also co-devised the BBC Radio 4 series ‘Disability: A New History’. \nJude Rogers has been a journalist and critic for the ‘Guardian’ and the ‘Observer’ for twenty years\, writing about arts\, culture and society\, and also makes documentaries for BBC Radio 4 and BBC Radio Wales. She was shortlisted for Wales Book of the Year for her 2022 memoir\, ‘The Sound Of Being Human: How Music Shapes Our Lives’. Born in Swansea and now living in Abergavenny\, she is delighted to be back in her hometown tonight. \nCopies of the book will be available (card only) from our partner bookseller ‘Cover to Cover’ \nIn partnership with Vintage / Bodley Head\, Cover to Cover\, and South Wales Miners’ Library \n*Please note: Event delivered in English

SUMMARY:Core Support – Movement & Connection. For women living with hypermobility
DESCRIPTION:Feel less alone\, more supported\, and more in tune with your body. \nCore Support – Movement & Connection is a peer support group for women living with hypermobility and persistent pain. It brings together movement\, peer support\, and practical tools for managing pain day to day. \nWomen with hypermobility often struggle to find a movement class that’s suitable for them\, and feel very isolated because there aren’t many places or groups where they can talk to other people going through the same thing. This group is built to close that gap. \nSessions are co-created with the people attending\, shaped around what you’re actually dealing with\, rather than a fixed programme. I facilitate with compassion\, guiding conversation towards positive\, practical support\, while also giving space for people to say how things really are without it tipping into something too heavy. \nThese sessions are for you if you want to:\nConnect with other women who understand hypermobility\nLearn movement adapted specifically for hypermobile bodies\nBuild practical tools for managing pain day to day\nFeel seen and heard in a space that gets it\nReduce the isolation that often comes with chronic conditions \nI’ve lived with chronic pain for over 20 years. I’ve worked as a yoga therapist for 16 years and trained in Restore Your Core®\, and for the last 5 years I’ve also worked as a chronic pain specialist\, leading pain management programmes for the NHS and Swansea University. \nNot sure if a group class is right for you\nI also offer 1:1 sessions if you’d prefer a more personal approach. \nNext series begins: Wednesday 9th September\nRuns for: 5 weeks (taster + 4 sessions)\nTime: 4:00 – 5:30 pm\nFree taster session – https://bethcox.as.me/core-support-hm\nFee: £60 for the following 4 sessions \nTaught by me – Beth Cox – Movement Therapist & Pain Specialist \nGot questions? Just send me a message. \nLearn more: www.corepatterns.co.uk
