Sustainable Energy in Refugee Camps - Dr Sarah Rosenberg-Jansen Gresham College 2024-05-09 | Most of the world’s 102 million forcibly displaced people – refugees – lack access to reliable, affordable, sustainable energy. Attempts to provide such energy in refugee camps have been marred by governance challenges, and a lack of technical expertise within humanitarian organisations.But new research discussed in this lecture on the lived experience of refugees is helping cast a light on ways to address it. However, developing inclusive approaches and supporting refugee-led action on energy is no easy task. This lecture was recorded by Dr Sarah Rosenberg-Jansen on 10th April 2024 at Barnard's Inn Hall, LondonSarah is a Research Fellow at the University of Oxford, where she is a member of the Refugee Studies Centre and Linacre College.

But sometimes human behaviours unleash powerful and altogether less welcome evolutionary forces…join us as we uncover them together!
What went wrong in Latin America? - Martin Daunton Gresham College 2024-05-07 | Enjoying our lectures? Please take a minute to answer 4 questions to tell us what you think!https://app.sli.do/event/1JonWUnuRtwjjMgcBM7LDQ/live/pollsIn the Great Depression, producers of food and raw materials complained that they received low prices and paid high prices for industrial imports. Latin America adopted ‘import substituting industrialisation’ to encourage production behind tariff barriers. This approach continued after the war as more countries gained independence.Did this policy result in inefficient industries and state regulation without delivering improved welfare? By the 1980s, the policy was in retreat with a turn to market liberalisation and export-led growth.This lecture was recorded by Martin Daunton on 9th April 2024 at Barnard's Inn Hall, LondonMartin is Visiting Professor of Economic History.He is a British academic and historian and he is Emeritus Professor of Economic History at the University of Cambridge.The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/import-substitutionGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

Please take a minute to answer 4 questions to tell us what you think!https://app.sli.do/event/1JonWUnuRtwjjMgcBM7LDQ/live/pollsDemokratia is the power (kratos) of the people (demos). But what kind of power, and who constitutes the people? Although ancient democracy is often stylized as “direct democracy” and so positioned as very different from modern “representative democracy,” in fact, issues of accountability are central to both.Ancient Greek models of holding leaders to account are still relevant. Furthermore, the ancient Greek use of election for some offices and lottery selection for others also offers instructive possibilities for modern challenges.This lecture was recorded by Melissa Lane on 14th March 2024 at Barnard's Inn Hall, LondonMelissa is Gresham Professor of Rhetoric.Melissa is an author, lecturer and broadcaster who has received major awards including a Guggenheim Fellowship and Lucy Shoe Meritt Residency in Classical Studies at the American Academy of Rome.The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/democracy-ancientGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

Today, while still defined by social and communication difficulties, rigid interests and repetitive behaviours, the autism spectrum is far wider, and the historical under-diagnosis of women and girls is being addressed.‘Autisms’ are more often discussed as neurodivergence rather than a single ‘disorder’ to be treated.This lecture explores how our understanding of autism has changed, and directions for future research.

Ancient Greek Ideas of Equality under the Law - Melissa Lane Gresham College 2024-04-04 | The Nobel Laureate economist Amartya Sen has posed the question, ‘equality of what?’ The value of equality depends on what standard is chosen. As ancient Greek thinkers recognized, equality can be deployed to exclude as well as to liberate, and its relationship to law and freedom needs to be interrogated.If equal social freedom is a product of isonomia—the equal application of laws to all—those laws need to be free of systematic bias and command public respect.

The 30 birds for 30 pennies problem #gresham #shorts #maths #puzzle #paradox Gresham College 2024-03-22 | Taken from a Gresham lecture by Sarah Hart at Barnard's Inn Hall, Londongresham.ac.uk/watch-now/maths-puzzlesMany puzzles have a long history, such as water pouring puzzles, where you need to measure (for example) one pint of water equipped only with an eight-pint and a five-pint jug. The mathematics behind the solution has many useful applications.Meanwhile, paradoxes such as: “some men shave themselves; those that do not shave themselves are shaved by the barber: who shaves the barber?” lead us to deep questions about set theory.We will discuss several examples and the related mathematics.
Changes in the Concept of Autism - Francesca Happé CBE Gresham College 2024-03-21 | Check out Francesca discussing this lecture and your unanswered questions on our brand new podcast "Any Further Questions?' available on Apple and Spotify******Our understanding of autism has changed over the last forty years. Historically, autism was diagnosed based on narrow criteria. Today, while still defined by social and communication difficulties, rigid interests and repetitive behaviours, the autism spectrum is far wider, and the historical under-diagnosis of women and girls is being addressed.‘Autisms’ are more often discussed as neurodivergence rather than a single ‘disorder’ to be treated. This lecture explores how our understanding of autism has changed, and directions for future research.This lecture was recorded by Francesca Happé CBE FBA on 28th February 2024 at Barnard's Inn Hall, LondonFrancesca is Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience, King’s College London.The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/new-autismGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

No Registration Requiredhttps://app.sli.do/event/dPVQbHMXtVQchpmV2mCdKwA lecture by Sarah Hart The idea of proof is fundamental to mathematics. We could argue that science consists of testable theories, and therefore that it is about what can be disproved, not what can be proved. In law, the test is “beyond reasonable doubt”.Famous conjectures in mathematics have been tested by computers for trillions of numbers – but we still call them conjectures.In this lecture we’ll talk about what mathematicians mean by proof, and I’ll show you some of my favourites.Gresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.
