Settlements were not built on linear processes that link inputs to outputs to outcomes and impact. This formula was not available to the founders, who did not find the need to find an alternative. Settlement Chief Executive Mike Wilson has a strong interest in the work of philosopher Gillian Rose. In her work, and in the attached reflection by Rowan Williams, the metaphor is ‘to stay in the difficult middle’, that life is a series of challenges, and the response is to stay engaged with those challenges. Out of this work came the invitation by Mike Wilson to place a ‘stake in the ground’, a vision of the 21st Century Settlement, a model for the Walworth Living Room, that could used to get started and engage with the community, and also a focus of response from those involved. The underpinning philosophy is extremely difficult. In this conversation, Mike Wilson and Edward Harcourt -professor of Philosophy at Keble College Oxford try to make senes of Rose’s work.

London was crucially dependent on continental Europe for its economic resilience in the mid-sixteenth century, and Sir Thomas Gresham's fortune piggy-backed off the special relationship with Antwerp. But the Reformation put the relationship under real strain. This wasn't a sixteenth-century Brexit (the division was within Christendom), but it posed similar challenges.

Part of the Humanities and the Public Good series Universities are associations of researchers, teachers and students who see themselves as inclusive and outward-looking, proactive, creative, and restless in the pursuit of excellence. They are also institutions which are often seen as exclusive, inward-looking, conservative and complacent. This seminar explores the relationship between the association and the institution, arguing that it is much more than a matter of insider/outsider perspective, and discusses what the Humanities have to contribute to the evolving philosophy and ethics of the institution, its processes of debate and decision making, and its interaction with the wider world. Part of the Humanities and the Public Good (www.torch.ox.ac.uk/publicgood) series. Presenter: Dr. Teresa Morgan, Lecturer in Ancient History and Associate Head of Humanities (Undergraduates), University of Oxford Respondents: Professor Stephen Whitefield, Professor of Politics, University of Oxford David Ford, Regius Professor of Divinity at Cambridge University and Director, Cambridge Inter-Faith Programme Chair: Sir Jonathan Phillips, Warden, Keble College Oxford

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss what drove the British Empire, especially in Victoria’s century. Was it science, more specifically, the science of plants, of agriculture, a scientific notion of nature and the improvement of nature? Was this seemingly rather adjacent notion - that the source of Empire can be found in Kew Gardens, Royal, Botanical, rather than in the muzzle of a gun or in the purse of a plunderer or in the consciousness of a conqueror - was science “the force that was with us?” Francis Bacon said of the Irish in 1603, “We shall reclaim them from their barbarous manners…populate plant and make civil all the provinces of that kingdom ..as we are persuaded that it is one of the chief causes for which God hath brought us to the Imperial Crown of these Kingdoms”. Centuries later, at the height of the Empire, John Stuart Mill wrote in On Liberty: “Despotism is a legitimate mode of government in dealing with barbarians, provided the end be their improvement”. But - despotism aside - was this notion of ‘improvement’ really the driving force behind the Empire? And did the British Empire have any firm basis in believing that the ‘light of pure reason’ that it brought to its colonies was any brighter than the knowledge that existed before they came? With Richard Drayton, Professor of History at the University of Virginia and author of Nature’s Government: Science, Imperial Britain and the ‘Improvement’ of the World; Maria Misra, Lecturer in Modern History and fellow of Keble College Oxford; Ziauddin Sardar, Professor of Science and Technology Policy, Middlesex University.
