INSIGHTS Virtual Lectures: Oct 8th 2020

A global history of sexual violence
INSIGHTS Virtual Lectures: Oct 15th 2020
Professor Joanna Bourke, Birkbeck College, University of London Sexually-violent practices and ideologies have varied dramatically over time and geographical region. There have also been important shifts in the weighting given to its two components: ‘sexual’ and ‘violence’. Sexual violence is deeply rooted in specific political, economic, social, and cultural contexts. In this lecture, Professor Bourke explores some of the ways sexual violence has been understood, from the 19th Century to the present day, paying particular attention to local, regional, and global differences.

And yet, even as the British empire remained entrenched in the world of slavery, there were reformers who placed great faith in the liberal ideas of freedom and who sought justice, righteousness and the right to freedom and equality.

30th anniversary of the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope: Everything from nothing: how our universe was made
INSIGHTS Virtual Lectures: Oct 22nd 2020
Professor Carlos Frenk, Durham University Cosmology addresses some of the most fundamental questions in science. How did our universe begin? What is it made of? How did galaxies form? In the past few decades, great progress has been made towards finding answers. While a coherent picture of cosmic evolution, going back to a tiny fraction of a second after the Big Bang, is beginning to emerge, fundamental issues – like the identity of the dark matter and the nature of the dark energy – remain unresolved.
