• Speaking of diversitysome local background
• You are in Wales (not England!)
• The Welsh have their own language(older than
  English)
• Spoken by 20
• Some people think I am speaking it..
• but you are also in Britain, UK.
• In a minute an overview of the summer school
• but first a short cultural guide to Britain and
  Wales to prevent culture shock

6
EASP Summer School, Cardiff

• Stereotypes of the English
• Competent but a bit cold
• Stereotypes of the Welsh
• Warm and friendly (but not incompetent!)
• We will find out more about Welsh history and
  culture on Saturday
• Day out to St Fagans (museum of Welsh Life)

7
EASP Summer School, Cardiff

• Stereotypes of the British
• Always apologising
• For the food (and warm beer)..
• For the expense
• For the weather
• Also the (in)famous British sense of humour
• Difficult to explain/analyse, but includes
• Understatement
• Irony (sarcasm) hence Summer ironic quotes
• Self-deprecation, self-ridicule, unnecessary
  apologising
• How to explain?? May be because of
• The food, the expense, the weather
• Self-handicapping!

8
EASP Summer School, Cardiff

• Stereotypes are also comparative
• Reminds me of an old joke about heaven and hell
• British, German, Italian French, Swiss
• Hell is British cooks and/or organizers!
• This is why diversity is a good thing!
• To recap, organizers more Germans than Brits!
• Nicole Tausch, Andrew Livingstone, Anja
  Zimmermann, Martin Bruder, Caroline Leygue, Dina
  Dosmukhambetova, Jochen Gebauer, Joe Sweetman,
  Sian Jones, Reem Saab, Verbon (diversity is
  good!)
• Also why we leave the catering (mostly) to
  you(diverse tastes)
• Tip When the weather/food/cost gets you down try
  to develop a British sense of humour!

EASP Summer School, Cardiff

  cuisine (diversity) in mind

  can claim back from your University or

  money and issue receipts

EASP Summer School, Cardiff

• Some final words of advice
• Remember you are working with other people so
  need to be a good team-player and perhaps make
  compromises, be flexible, etc (not necessarily
  bad)
• Not everyone can work on their ideal topic
• So remember Diverse is good! Divas are bad!
• Work hard but have fun!
• To help the fun and galvanize the team-spirit we
  propose a a tee-shirt design competition to
  capture the spirit of the summer school.
• So if you find yourselves with any free time (!)
  work on these designs (one entry per workshop)
  and we will vote for the best one (no voting for
  your own workshop!).
• Proposed deadline 14.00 Tuesday 26th, Week 2
• Everyone will get a winning tee-shirt at the end

22
EASP Summer School, Cardiff

• Finally
• Although I am an organizer rather than workshop
  teacher, I am very happy to meet with students
  individually, or in groups, to discuss your
  research
• I will try to get to all the posters
• So let the games begin!
