Chris speaks with Dr. Paul Elliot from Homerton College, Cambridge University. haswell247@gmail.com, pe206@cam.ac.uk, lostincitations@gmail.com, 

Hello dear listeners. The team of People doing Physics is taking a short break this summer and will be back in September with new guests and more physics chats. To help you wait, we've selected a couple of previous episodes we wanted to share again with you. We start with our panel episode with three Undergraduate students, which comes out just as we are about to welcome once again hundreds of potential new students for the University of Cambridge Open Days. This episode was recorded in June 2023, with Misha de Fockert and Armaan Shaikh, who were just finishing their 2nd year, and Ming-Shau Liu, who had just graduated from Cambridge after his 4th year.We'll leave you with them and their very open and unfiltered views on their time and experience of studying physics at Cambridge.We hope you enjoy it, and if you do, don't forget to rate it or leave a review on your favourite podcast app! Episode 18: An open conversation with physics students, Misha de Fockert, Ming-Shau Liu and Armaan ShaikhThis is July and the streets of Cambridge burst with sun and excitement as students let a communal sigh of relief now that the academic year is over. This is July, and the time for future students to think about what subject they might be studying when choosing to go to university. As we are welcoming hundreds of potential new students today and tomorrow for the University of Cambridge Open Days, we have invited three of our current undergraduate students to join us in the studio and talk to us, honestly and without filters, about their experience at Cambridge. Hearing directly from them may help young people thinking about studying physics in Cambridge or anywhere else, to take the leap. Misha de Fockert and Armaan Shaikh have just finished their 2nd year – here in Cambridge we call it Part IB, and Ming-Shau Liu is graduating from Cambridge after his 4th year, which, not confusingly at all, is called Part 3! All three of them, and this is just a coincidence, are students at Homerton College. With them today we talk about taking the time to reflect, imposter syndrome, building bridges and making friends for life.

The prime minister’s senior adviser on ethnic minorities, Samuel Kasumu, will be stepping down in May. He had previously handed in his resignation in February, before retracting it. His announcement comes after the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities review said the UK was not deliberately rigged against ethnic minorities'. Downing Street has rejected suggestions his departure was linked to the findings. Lord Woolley, Simon Woolley, founder of Operation Black Vote and newly elected principal of Homerton College, Cambridge, told Today programme’s Mishal Husain why he felt “anger, despair and above all sadness” over the report’s conclusions.

EPISODE NOTES In this episode, Claire talks with Juliet Adloune: a school improvement adviser and mental health expert. Juliet had always wanted to be a teacher and, from a young age, had planned ahead mapping out her own journey through education by working out what she needed to achieve at each stage in order to be able to train as a teacher. Juliet talks about how, having been born and brought up in Manchester, she had experienced many positive influences on her life through being exposed to a wide range of backgrounds, religions and cultures as a part of her upbringing. After training to be a teacher at Cambridge’s Homerton College, Juliet found that she loved the area and has stayed ever since working in and with schools within Cambridgeshire Education Authority. Eventually moving into leadership, Juliet became a deputy headteacher and then a headteacher before taking on the role of a local authority school improvement adviser. Juliet discusses her belief in the importance of mental health within schools. After becoming a qualified mental health first aider herself, Juliet realised how important this was to her and she became a trainer for the programme and an advocate for raising the profile of wellbeing. Throughout this episode, Juliet shares her thoughts, experiences and advice around this key aspect of school life.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Raise the profile of mental health. Mental health is just as important as physical health and they are inextricably linked. While we have a statutory duty to have a first-aider in schools for physical injuries, it is not yet the case for mental health support. This is especially important now and for the future given the possible long-term impact of the coronavirus on people’s mental health. Adult mental health is just as important as that of the children. While children’s safety and security is of paramount importance, the mental health of adults in school is as equally significant. An analogy would be the aeroplane safety announcement where adults are told to put on their own face-mask first because you can’t be effective in looking after those around you if you are not in the best place yourself. With that, successful wellbeing in schools is, generally, based more around giving people time and space, and promoting a positive attitude to mental health rather than just making token gestures which do not add real benefit or value. Start early in teachers’ careers with mental health awareness. Raising awareness of mental health much more in initial teacher training and through school induction programmes could have significant benefits for newly qualified teachers. Even something as seemingly straightforward as promoting effective time-management strategies and good organisational skills can remove some of the key causes of stress for new teachers which, in turn, makes for better overall mental health. BEST MOMENTS “The world around us has many limitations and lots of pushes and pulls on resources. However, there is a lot of support out there. You are not alone. It's about opening the door for yourself to seek support.” “I think the ethos in a school, that feeling you get when you go into a school and it feels like it's caring and compassionate, it does come from the top. And that's because the person at the top is being looked after and looks after themselves. And we do sometimes have to ask for that. We have to say 'this is what I would like' or 'this is what I need'.” “I say this with my sense of humour popping out already: we don't solve wellbeing with donuts on a Friday.” “Giving people time and space and the feeling that you are not going to be judged is a much, much more impactful wellbeing strategy.” “I think that makes a big difference to anybody's life: you still have pressures, you still have stresses, but if you love the jobs you are in or the job you have, it makes a big impact and a big difference on your outlook on that and how you feel about yourself and how you fit into that society of work.” “We don't always appreciate what we don't know what and what we're not involved in. And as we said about mental health, if you don't have the knowledge, then that sometimes can skew how you think about things.” “Because I was working with schools, often in difficulty, I was finding that, as time went on, the things that I noticed most about what made my work impactful was because I built relationships with people and because I didn't employ a one-size-fits-all [approach].” “My advisory role has always been, in school, what I call a 'hands-on approach'. So my work in school improvement has been not just saying what needs to be done, but showing people how it could be done and working alongside them to do it.” “[People] might say, 'I've got a bad back' or 'I'm not feeling great' or 'I'm under the weather' because they don't feel able always to be open about their mental health. Unfortunately, stigma and discrimination around mental health does remain.”   VALUABLE RESOURCES Juliet Adloune – Facebook: www.facebook.com/mhfa.julietadloune Juliet Adloune – LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/juliet-adloune-318b9656 Samaritans 24-hour telephone support: 116 123 Samaritans online: https://www.samaritans.org/ Shout 24-hour text support: 85258 Shout online: https://giveusashout.org/ Classroom Secrets Kids: https://kids.classroomsecrets.co.uk The Teachers’ Podcast: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheTeachersPodcast/ Classroom Secrets Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ClassroomSecretsLimited/ Classroom Secrets website: https://classroomsecrets.co.uk/ LIFE/work balance campaign: https://classroomsecrets.co.uk/lifeworkbalance-and-wellbeing-in-education-campaign-2019/   ABOUT THE HOST 'My mother is a teacher. I will never be a teacher.' - Claire Riley Claire arrived at the end of her performing arts degree with no firm plans to move into the entertainment industry. A fully funded secondary teaching course seemed like the perfect way to stall for a year on deciding what to do with her life. Turns out, teaching was her thing.  Three years in a challenging secondary school - check. Two years in primary schools with over 90% EAL children - check. Eight years doing day-to-day supply across 4-18 - check. If there's one thing she learnt, it was how to identity the best ideas from every school in terms of resources and use that knowledge to create something that would work for teachers far and wide. In 2013, Classroom Secrets was born. Claire had seen other resource sites and wanted to add something to the market that she felt was missing. More choice + More quality = Balance. Claire is a self-proclaimed personal development junkie and is always looking for ways to learn and improve. It's usually centred around business, her new-found passion. In 2019, Claire launched The Teachers' Podcast that hit that charts on launch and is listed in the top 200 educational podcasts most weeks. The Teachers’ Podcast is a series of interviews where Claire meets with a wide range of guests involved in the field of education. These podcasts provide exciting discussions and different perspectives and thoughts on a variety of themes which are both engaging and informative for anyone involved in education.

I'm going to jump in right into this one, what is institutional racism and sort of how is it different from straight up racism? Kamal Munir 0:37   I think institutional racism the clue is in the name that it is institutionalized when something becomes institutionalized, it comes to be taken for granted it is not questioned anymore. So whereas if you see someone walking on the street being called names based on their race, that would be pretty evident to you as racism, institutionalized racism, which mostly happens inside organizations and, and and of course, at a larger level in societies, you may not be able to tell. So white privilege is part of institutional racism, when people actually understand it to be just part of, you know, normal life and part of a meritocratic organization. And this is this is how it is. So, it is it is much less visible, it is much more subtle, and it is embedded in organizational processes and routines, Nick Saffell  1:41   thinking about the routines, how do workplaces contribute to sort of racial inequality then, Kamal Munir 1:49   basically, based on what I understand of organizations, there are two ways in which organizations contribute to institutional racism. And there are two myths that pervade most organizations. One is that they are meritocratic, and the other is that they are efficient. So, when an organization and the members of the organization understand the workplace to be meritocratic, they automatically assume that everyone who gets promoted everyone who gets hired is on the basis of merit. And if we go deep into organizations, we see that that is not necessarily the case. meritocracy, meritocracy tends to be a myth. And increasingly, there is more and more research coming out, showing exactly why meritocracy remains a myth in organizations. And when we look at organizations numbers, it becomes pretty apparent that there are certain people Kamal Munir 2:58   based on race, you know, who are just performing much better than others. So if you look at fortune 500 CEOs, 96% of them are non Hispanic whites. In America, if you look at top management in various sectors, you will take finance companies, only 2.4% of executive committee members 1.4% of managing directors and 1.4% of senior portfolio managers are black. Same in technology, only 1.9% of technology executives and 5.3% of tech professionals are African American in America. So similarly, the average black partnership rate at US law firms between 2005 and 2016 has been estimated at 1.8%. So, there are there are significant differences and yet...

Artificial Intelligence is on the march and it seems destined to play a bigger and bigger part in our lives. Gut feelings about A.I. tend to be negative but could it be used for good? How might its development affect religious belief or religious practice? With Ed Kessler to explore AI are Beth Singler of Homerton College, Cambridge, and the religious philosopher Gorazd Andrejc...

Covid-19 has had us all scrambling to adapt to life in lockdown. But the period of lockdown also coincided with a number of key religious festivals from Easter to Passover, Vaisakhi to Ramadan. This in turn has led to a flourishing of new and inventive ways for religious communities to mark their holy days. But religion online is not a new phenomenon and virtual spaces, live streaming and words of wisdom have been available on the internet for many years. So what should our relationship be with religion on the internet and where does its future lie post lockdown? Joining Dr Katie Edwards to discuss this is Dr Beth Singler, Junior Research Fellow in Artificial Intelligence at Homerton College, University of Cambridge; Swami Ambikananda, a Hindu monastic and founder of the Traditional Yoga Association; Adrian Harris, Head of Digital at the Church of England and Abid Khan, Imam at Cheadle Mosque in Manchester.

Blackwell's were honoured to be joined by Chelsea Kwakye who was in conversation with Daisy J Hung on her hugely important book, Taking Up Space: The Black Girl's Manifesto for Change. As a minority in a predominantly white institution, taking up space is an act of resistance. Recent Cambridge grads Chelsea and Ore experienced this first-hand, and wrote Taking Up Space as a guide and a manifesto for change. "FOR BLACK GIRLS:Understand that your journey is unique. Use this book as a guide. Our wish for you is that you read this and feel empowered, comforted and validated in every emotion you experience, or decision that you make.FOR EVERYONE ELSE:We can only hope that reading this helps you to be a better friend, parent, sibling or teacher to black girls living through what we did. It's time we stepped away from seeing this as a problem that black people are charged with solving on their own.It's a collective effort. And everyone has a role to play." Featuring honest conversations with students past and present, Taking Up Space goes beyond the buzzwords of diversity and inclusion and explores what those words truly mean for young black girls today. Chelsea Kwakye is a first-class honours History graduate from Homerton College, Cambridge. Whilst at Cambridge she was the only black girl in her year group of around 200 to read History. In her final year, she was Vice-President of the African-Caribbean Society and competed in a Cambridge vs. Oxford Varsity Athletics match. She is currently studying at the University of Law in preparation for a training contract with a city law firm in London. #Merky Books was set up by publishers Penguin Random House and Stormzy in June 2018 to find and publish the best writers of a new generation and to publish the stories that are not being heard. #Merky Books aims to open up the world of publishing, and this year has launched a New Writer's Prize and will soon be launching a #Merky Books traineeship.

Los Angeles, November 2019. Blade Runner's future is now ours. Ridley Scott's 1982 classic future film of replicants escaping to a retrofitted Earth and meeting their end at the hands of the washed out, titular Blade Runner, Harrison Ford as Rick Deckard, is adapted from Philip K. Dick's equally classic 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. Both film and book are meditations on what it is to be human but we have been looking through the eyes of the film ever since it plunged us into its acid rain, neon coated, West Coast nightmare of flaming night skies, commercial ziggurats, flying cars and fake animals. Now its future is our present. We live in a world of mass species die off, environmental crisis, rapidly developing A.I., all powerful corporations and extreme divides between rich and poor. Film and book have bled into our culture in many different ways and in this series of the Essay, we mark the year of Blade Runner, in the month of Blade Runner. Dr Beth Singler, Junior Research Fellow in Artificial Intelligence at Homerton College, Cambridge asks what is real and fake in A.I. sex and love. "Simulation forces us to think about how we can the ‘real' that we seem so often to be confident about. Confident enough perhaps to reassure ourselves that the use of ‘fake' humans as slave labour and sexbots is alright to be skimmed over in the dialogue of the human characters in Blade Runner. What does it say about the society in the world of Blade Runner that it is okay with slave replicants who fight our off-world wars and fulfil sexual needs for colonists? It gets worse. What does it say about a society that is okay with slave replicants who are only two years old?" Producer: Mark Burman

Chelsea Kwakye is impressive - seriously impressive. A history graduate from Homerton College, Cambridge, she was the only black girl in her year group of around 200 people studying the subject. The experience prompted her to write Taking Up Space with her best friend Ore Ogunbiyi, which went on to become the first book published by Stormzy's imprint #Merky Books. Taking in everything from unrepresentative curricula, to everyday discrimination and the power of activism, it's smart, insightful and thought-provoking - and I found Chelsea totally fascinating and inspiring to speak to.

A little bit about the translator Cloudesley Brereton's wife: she was Maud Brereton. There's a photograph of her on the Cambridge University website, where she was briefly Principal of Homerton College. Between WWI and WWII she was a proponent of something akin to what we'd now call Universal Basic Income - arguing that unpaid unemployment was a stupid and inefficient way of organising things. Hats off. Anybody want to make a podcast about her? :)Presented and produced by Eli Sessions.Music from The Underscore Orkestra. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Lecture Summary: The lecture will consider the role of the conflict of laws before international courts and tribunals. Very rarely is the conflict of laws examined in the writings on public international law or is applied in the decisions of international courts and tribunals. And that is surprising given that disputes that become the subject of adjudication before investment courts and tribunals are necessarily cross-border in nature. And their cross-border character undoubtedly calls for the partitioning of legal issues among legal systems. The lecture will examine a number of inter-related issues: 1) which conflict of laws rules are to be used by international courts and tribunals in determining the rights and obligations at the municipal law, 2) what is the use, if any, of the conflict of laws in interpreting international treaties, 3) the broader question of interrelation between public international law and private international law. Dr Hayk Kupelyants is the Clifford Chance Lecturer in the Conflict of Laws at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of Homerton College. He is the author of 'Sovereign Defaults before Domestic Courts' (OUP 2018).

This video discusses six issues arising out of the recent statement of Prime Minister David Cameron to the House of Commons entitled "Prime Minister’s Response to the Foreign Affairs Select Committee on the Extension of Offensive British Military Operations to Syria". Dr Veronika Fikfak and Dr Hayley J Hooper discuss the questionable international legality of military action, the strategic use of parliament and its potential impact upon the emerging Consultation Convention, and the responsibility of MPs to hold government to account across a broad range of relevant domestic issues. Thereafter they analyse the impact of the way government shares intelligence information with the House of Commons, especially in light of the 2003 Iraq conflict, highlighting several relevant but under-discussed rules. Finally, they discuss the role of party political discipline on armed conflict votes. Dr Fikfak researches in the fields of public law, human rights and international law. She is particularly interested in the interface between domestic and international law and is currently writing a monograph on the role of national judges in relation to international law. Dr Hooper is currently a Fellow at Homerton College, and her doctoral research at Balliol College, University of Oxford concerned the use of "closed" or "secret" evidence in the context of judicial review of counterterrorism powers, and its extension to civil procedure more broadly. Drs Fikfak and Hooper are currently co-authoring a monograph on parliament's involvement in war powers entitled Parliament's Secret War (forthcoming with Hart Bloomsbury, 2016). For more information about Dr Fikfak, please refer to her profile, and about Dr Hooper to her profile. Law in Focus is a series of short videos featuring academics from the University of Cambridge Faculty of Law, addressing legal issues in current affairs and the news. These issues are examples of the many which challenge researchers and students studying undergraduate and postgraduate law at the Faculty.

This video discusses six issues arising out of the recent statement of Prime Minister David Cameron to the House of Commons entitled "Prime Minister’s Response to the Foreign Affairs Select Committee on the Extension of Offensive British Military Operations to Syria". Dr Veronika Fikfak and Dr Hayley J Hooper discuss the questionable international legality of military action, the strategic use of parliament and its potential impact upon the emerging Consultation Convention, and the responsibility of MPs to hold government to account across a broad range of relevant domestic issues. Thereafter they analyse the impact of the way government shares intelligence information with the House of Commons, especially in light of the 2003 Iraq conflict, highlighting several relevant but under-discussed rules.

We offer two features on this Christmas Eve How On Earth. Fairies in 19th century science education (start time: 3:52): Victorian educators used the magical world to teach young children about science. That was before fairies fell out of favor in science, alas. How On Earth co-host Jim Pullen talks with Melanie Keene, director of Studies for History and Philosophy of Science at Homerton College in Cambridge, England, about the understanding of fairies in science education in the Victorian age.     Christmas Bird Count (start time: 12:51) It's the time of year when humans are flying hither and yon to gather with family for Christmas. Others are heading somewhere south for vacation to escape the winter chill.  Many birds are on the move as well, heading south to overwinter. Others are sticking around.  These human and avian patterns are converging with the annual Audubon Society’s Christmas Bird Count.  Steve Jones and William Schmoker of the Boulder County Audubon Society talk with co-host Susan Moran about how the Bird Count emerged more than 100 years ago and why it's important. Hosts: Susan Moran, Jim Pullen Producer: Susan Moran Engineer: Jim Pullen Executive Producer: Beth Bartel Listen to the show:
