Es ist früher Morgen in der Oxford University. Die Sonne taucht die altehrwürdigen Mauern der Colleges in goldenes Licht, das Kopfsteinpflaster glänzt vom nächtlichen Regen. Über den Höfen liegt die Stille vor dem ersten Seminar, nur der Klang des Magdalen Chors hallt leise durch die Gassen. Ein junger Mann eilt im schwarzen Talar über den Innenhof – bereit für ein neues Kapitel an einem der traditionsreichsten Orte der Welt. -- In dieser Folge BRITPOD nehmen uns unsere Entdecker Alexander-Klaus Stecher und Claus Beling mit auf eine Reise in die wohl berühmteste Universitätsstadt Englands. Gemeinsam mit Maximilian Stecher, einem deutschen Studenten am Kellogg College, erkunden sie das Leben und Lernen an der University of Oxford: intensive Studien, skurrile Rituale, akademischer Wettstreit – und ganz viel Geschichte. Oxford ist die älteste Universität der englischsprachigen Welt und existiert seit dem 12. Jahrhundert. Wie unterscheidet sich Oxford vom deutschen Uni-Alltag? Was macht das Dining-Erlebnis so besonders? Warum sind Rivalitäten zwischen Colleges fester Bestandteil des Campuslebens – und was hat J.R.R. Tolkien mit alldem zu tun? Die University of Oxford hat zudem eine enge Verbindung zur Harry Potter-Filmreihe – doch viele Mythen und Missverständnisse halten sich hartnäckig. BRITPOD bringt Licht ins Zauberhafte. Die Episode erzählt von berühmten Alumni, von beeindruckender Architektur und vom Spagat zwischen Budget und Bibliothek. Sie gibt Einblick in ein System, das auf Exzellenz baut – und dennoch zutiefst menschlich ist. Ein Blick hinter die Kulissen einer Universität, die mehr ist als ein Studienort – Oxford ist ein Lebensgefühl. BRITPOD – England at its Best. -- WhatsApp: Du kannst Alexander und Claus direkt auf ihre Handys Nachrichten schicken! Welche Ecke Englands sollten die beiden mal besuchen?

In this episode, Kaitlyn Allen talks with Dr. Ana Nacvalovaite, a Research Fellow at Kellogg College, Oxford University. Dr. Nacvalovaite is an accomplished researcher, expert, and advocate for ethical business and investment practices. She obtained her doctoral degree from Oxford University, focusing on the regulation, sustainability, and transparency of investments made by sovereign wealth funds. Ana strives to bridge the gap between the immense resources of sovereign wealth funds and the urgent global challenges of climate change and social sustainability. Sovereign wealth funds are state-owned investment vehicles that manage and invest surplus assets on behalf of sovereign nations seeking to diversify their revenue streams and accumulate wealth. Listen as Kaitlyn and Ana discuss her journey from a human rights lawyer specializing in protecting children in armed conflict to an expert in sovereign wealth funds. Her pivot was fueled, in part, by the 2008 financial crisis, which presented an opportunity for greater regulation of these funds.  Ana explains the sustainability-related financial strategies for sovereign wealth funds, which drive social benefits. Kaitlyn also reminds us of the longer time horizons for these funds (think: well past 3-5 years), while Ana also shares their current challenges and opportunities for greater positive impact in the future.

Postmodernism - the idea that human language can never fully capture reality - has been a buzzword since the second half of the 20th century. But how have postmodern ideas influenced historiography - the writing of history? In this episode, Minh Nguyen, a 2nd-year history undergraduate at New College, talks to Prof. John Marriot, Visiting Fellow at Kellogg College to explore how postmodernism has changed (or perhaps not changed?) the way historians approach the past.

If they made apologetics action figures, Josh McDowell would be one of the figures in the first set. If they made apologetics trading cards, Josh McDowell's card would be in a collectible foil pack. He has toured with the pioneering Christian rock band Petra, and his book Evidence that Demands a Verdict was selected by Christianity Today as the thirteenth most influential Christian book published after the Second World War. Now, he's here with us on this very special episode of The Apologetics Podcast. In 1991, "Losing My Religion" by R.E.M. was at the top of the pop charts, and Timothy was looking for evidence that Christianity was true. That's when two books that Timothy found in a library introduced him to apologetics. Those books were Surprised by Joy by C.S. Lewis and More Than a Carpenter by Josh McDowell. More than thirty years after Timothy first read More Than a Carpenter, Josh McDowell joins the dynamic duo to discuss his latest book How to Know God Exists: Solid Reasons to Believe in God, Discover Truth, and Find Meaning in Your Life (Tyndale, 2022). Josh also takes the time to reminisce about some of the ways that apologetics has shifted throughout his six decades of ministry. Along the way, he tells about his time touring with the Christian hard rock band Petra. In the segment of the program known as Raiders of Church History, it's a medieval mammal against ancient metal in a contest so violent that you may want to cover your children's eyes while they're listening. The violence breaks out because your intrepid cohosts throw a resurrected lamb into combat against a set of ancient spikes. The contest culminates with a Mediterranean feast, complete with trout and mutton shish-kebabs. ABOUT YOUR HOSTS AND GUEST Josh McDowell is a Christian apologist, evangelist, and author. After studying at Kellogg College he completed his college degree at Wheaton College and then attended Talbot Theological Seminary. In 1961 he joined the staff of Campus Crusade for Christ International and shortly after he started the Josh McDowell Ministry. Of his numerous books, his best known titles are More Than A Carpenter, Evidence That Demands A Verdict, and Right from Wrong. More information can be found at his website here. Timothy Paul Jones, Ph.D., is C. Edwin Gheens Professor of Christian Ministry at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He teaches in the areas of family ministry and applied apologetics. He has authored or edited more than a dozen books, including Why Should I Trust the Bible? Garrick Bailey is a Ph.D. student in systematic theology at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, studying Herman Bavinck and Roman Catholicism under the supervision of Gregg Allison.

Last year, the term "quiet quitting" took the internet by storm. It described a trend in the US labor market where employees declined to go above and beyond. Now in 2023, there's a new trend called "quiet hiring." According to US consulting firm Gartner, it's poised to be one of the top workplace trends this year. Quiet hiring is when an organization acquires new skills without actually hiring new full-time employees. This comes amid continued recession fears and a wave of tech industry layoffs in the United States. Host Zhao Ying is joined by American economist David Blair, Vice President of the Center for China and Globalization, Prof. Soo Hee Lee of Kent Business School, University of Kent, and Prof. Chris Rowley of Kellogg College, University of Oxford and Bayes Business School, City, University of London.

ARE PHEROMONES PHER REAL? CAN A SPECIFIC FRAGRANCE REALLY GET YOU LAID? ARE THERE ANY ACTUAL SCIENTIFICALLY-PROVEN APHRODISIACS? Why do we like one person's natural scent and not someone else's? If pheromones aren't real, why do scientific studies that seemingly prove their validity exist? Are our scent preferences determined by nature or nurture? So many questions and today we cover them all with award-winning Author and Evolutionary Biologist, Dr. Tristram Wyatt. Dr. Wyatt is a Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Zoology at the University of Oxford and an Emeritus Fellow of Kellogg College, Oxford. His focus is in animal behavior and pheromones, and on this subject, he's given a TEDx talk, as well as authored an award-winning textbook called Pheromones and Animal Behavior. READ MORE ABOUT DR.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: New blog: Some doubts about effective altruism, published by David Thorstad on December 20, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. I'm a research fellow in philosophy at the Global Priorities Institute. There are many things I like about effective altruism. I've started a blog to discuss some views and practices in effective altruism that I don't like, in order to drive positive change both within and outside of the movement. About me I'm a research fellow in philosophy at the Global Priorities Institute, and a Junior Research Fellow at Kellogg College. Before coming to Oxford, I did a PhD in philosophy at Harvard under the incomparable Ned Hall, and BA in philosophy and mathematics at Haverford College. I held down a few jobs along the way, including a stint teaching high-school mathematics in Lawrence, Massachusetts and a summer gig as a librarian for the North Carolina National Guard. I'm quite fond of dogs. Who should read this blog? The aim of the blog is to feature (1) long-form, serial discussions of views and practices in and around effective altruism, (2) driven by academic research, and from a perspective that (3) shares a number of important views and methods with many effective altruists. This blog might be for you if: You would like to know why someone who shares many background views with effective altruists could nonetheless be worried about some existing views and practices. You are interested in learning more about the implications of academic research for views and practices in effective altruism. You think that empirically-grounded philosophical reflection is a good way to gain knowledge about the world. You have a moderate amount of time to devote to reading and discussion (20-30mins/post). You don't mind reading series of overlapping posts. This blog might not be for you if: You would like to know why someone who has little in common with effective altruists might be worried about the movement. You aren't keen on philosophy, even when empirically grounded. You have a short amount of time to devote to reading. You like standalone posts and hate series. Blog series The blog is primarily organized around series of posts, rather than individual posts. I've kicked off the blog with four series. Academic papers: This series summarizes cutting-edge academic research relevant to questions in and around the effective altruism movement. Existential risk pessimism and the time of perils: Part 1 introduces a tension between Existential Risk Pessimism (risk is high) and the Astronomical Value Thesis (it's very important to drive down risk). Part 2 looks at some failed solutions to the tension. Part 3 looks at a better solution: the Time of Perils Hypothesis. Part 4 looks at one argument for the Time of Perils Hypothesis, which appeals to space settlement. Part 5 looks at a second argument for the Time of Perils Hypothesis, which appeals to the concept of an existential risk Kuznets curve. Parts 6-8 (coming soon) round out the paper and draw implications. Academics review What we owe the future: This series looks at book reviews of MacAskill's What we owe the future by leading academics to draw out insights from those reviews. Part 1 looks at Kieran Setiya's review, focusing on population ethics. Part 2 (coming soon) looks at Richard Chappell's review. Part 3 (coming soon) looks at Regina Rini's review. Exaggerating the risks: I think that current levels of existential risk are substantially lower than many leading EAs take them to be. In this series, I say why I think that. Part 1 introduces the series. Part 2 looks at Ord's discussion of climate risk in The Precipice. Part 3 takes a first look at the Halstead report on climate risk. Parts 4-6 (coming soon) wrap up the discussion of climate risk and draw lessons. Billionaire philanthropy: What is the role of b...

A proposed rule change quietly added to the nationality and borders bill, gives the government the right to strip an individual of their British citizenship without warning. Join us between 4 and 5 pm as we go on to discuss how migration is making citizenship and rights a more pressing issue. Tracking your child; Should you do it?

Some of the most advanced learning technologies are used in training healthcare professionals. However, healthcare professionals working in rural areas of low- and middle-income countries often don't have access to such resources. What does workplace learning look like for healthcare workers in some of the world's most underserved communities? How can their learning experience be improved so they can provide the best healthcare possible? Professor Niall Winters is professor of education and technology at University of Oxford. His research examines the design, development and evaluation of technology enhanced learning programmes for healthcare workers in low resource setting in the Global South, particularly in Kenya. He is co-Director of the Learning and New Technologies Research Group at Oxford University's Department of Education and formerly Deputy Director of Research and Director of MSc Education (Learning & Technology). Niall was involved in established the Global Centre on Healthcare and Urbanisation at Kellogg College at Oxford University and he has consulted for UNESCO, Department for International Development and the NHS. On a personal note, Niall was also one of my doctoral supervisors who taught and guided me through my PhD at Oxford.   Links: Prof Niall Winters: http://www.education.ox.ac.uk/people/niall-winters/ Lecture: Technology in Global Healthcare Training https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbbSYKfbvMA Twitter: @nwin

Clark Kellogg is one of the most respected voices covering college basketball today. The CBS Sports analyst was once a top college basketball player at Ohio State University, where he earned All-Big Ten Conference honors and won the Big Ten Most Valuable Player award in 1982. After his junior year at Ohio State, he declared for the 1992 NBA draft and was selected eighth overall in the first round by the Indiana Pacers, and named to the NBA All-Rookie first team in 1983 after averaging 20.1 points and 10.6 rebounds. But his NBA career was cut short after just four seasons due to knee injuries, and he was forced to retire in 1986 at the age of 25. Clark began his broadcasting journey with ESPN in 1990, and in 1993 he moved to CBS Sports, where he has worked since. In March 2010, Kellogg played a game of H.O.R.S.E. against U.S. President Barack Obama. The game, called “P.O.T.U.S.” for the occasion, was won by Obama.

Focusing on the motivations, The Anatomy of a Spy  by Michael Smith tells the story of why spies spy, presenting a wealth of spy stories—some previously unknown and some famous—from the very human angle of the agents themselves. He breaks them into categories that go beyond the widely shared MICE - Money, Ideology, Compromise/Coercion, Ego. We discuss some classic examples from his book: Operation Diamond where the Mossad used sex and coercion on pilots to fly a MIG-29 out of Iraq in the early 60s; Gabriele Gast - who was caught up in a Stasi Romeo-operation; Polish spy Ryszard Kukliński was a patriot who shared the Warsaw Pact operational plans. We touch on the intentions and needs of spies like: Oleg Penkovsky,  Aldrich Ames, Stephen Hanssen, and Ronald Pelton - what was the nugget they were after?Michael shares some of his experience working for the BBC Monitoring Service - listening in on Cold War transmissions across Poland and East Germany. We also discuss the similarities to journalism with both terminology (stringer, fireman, source) and tradecraft from his experience as an award-winning journalist for the BBC, the Daily Telegraph and the Sunday Times. Smith is the author of a number of books, including The Secrets of Station X, Killer Elite and Foley: The Spy Who Saved 10,000 Jews, and MI6: The Real James Bonds. He is a visiting fellow at Kellogg College, Oxford.Look for the debut of the #dozendecions that Michael makes in under a minute that reveal if his true nature is that of a spy, handler, or analyst.  I'm thinking he's secret agent material.

A discussion about the ANC’s policy shifts in the early years of democracy.  On the 28 November 2019, Professor Vishnu Padayachee and Professor Robert van Niekerk of the University of Witwatersrand visited Kellogg College, prior to the launch of their new book ‘’Shadow of Liberation: Contestation and Compromise in the Economic and Social Policy of the African National Congress, 1943-1996’’, to discuss their insights into the ANC’s policy shifts in the early years of democracy.

Anne McLaren Lecture 2019, “Can reformed communication save patients from harm?" This year’s Anne McLaren Lecture, “Can reformed communication save patients from harm?”, was delivered by Professor Marie Lindquist, Director of the Uppsala Monitoring Centre, an independent, non-profit foundation and centre for international scientific research, based in Sweden. UMC is the World Health Organisation (WHO) Collaborating Centre for International Drug Monitoring. The OIBC Anne McLaren Lecture is held in conjunction with Kellogg College and the Trustees of the Oxford International Biomedical Centre. Dr Anne McLaren, DBE, Hon DSc, FRS (1927-2007) was a Trustee of the Oxford International Biomedical Centre. Her distinction as an experimental scientist in the field of mammalian embryology was matched by her concern for the ethical and legal consequences of in vivo fertilisation (IVF) and other clinical advances in human embryology. She is commemorated in Anne McLaren House at Kellogg College.

Using longitudinal data from Burundi collected in 2011 and 2015, this paper explores the consequences of repatriation for stayee households i.e. those who never left the country during the conflict Large-scale refugee repatriation is sometimes considered a threat to stability and sustainable development because of the burden it could impose on receiving communities. Yet the empirical evidence on the impacts of refugee return is limited. Using longitudinal data from Burundi collected in 2011 and 2015, this paper explores the consequences of repatriation for stayee households (i.e. those who never left the country during the conflict). Burundi experienced large-scale repatriation during the 2000s, with the returning refugees unevenly spread across the country. We use geographical features of the communities of origin, including altitude and proximity to the border, for identification purposes. The results suggest that a higher share of returnees in a community is associated with less livestock ownership, the principal form of capital accumulation in the country, and worse subjective economic conditions for stayee households. Additional analysis suggests that refugee return had a negative impact on food security and land access for stayees. The negative impact on food security largely disappears between rounds of the survey. Refugee return had no significant effect on the health outcomes of stayees. The article finishes with a discussion of the implications of the results for policies that aim to support refugee repatriation and long-term sustainable development in post conflict societies. Dr Carlos Vargas-Silva is Research Director and Associate Professor at COMPAS. He is also the Director of the DPhil in Migration Studies and a member of Kellogg College. Carlos is also co-founder and current Associate Editor of the journal Migration Studies. He was also one of the researchers that developed the Migration Observatory in 2010, and acted as Director of the Observatory in 2014 and 2017.

Overdiagnosis is the diagnosis of "disease" that will never cause symptoms or death during a patient's lifetime. Newer, more accurate technologies, and the desire to detect disease even earlier means Overdiagnosis is on the rise. Understanding the impact of Overdiagnosis, how to detect it and what to do about it might stem its inexplicable rise and prevent the epidemic of unnecessary testing. Professor Carl Heneghan is a board member of the Preventing Overdiagnosis conference and has an active interest in diagnostic reasoning and how this can, or in some cases cannot, make a real difference to patient outcomes. He is also Professor of Evidence-Based Medicine at the Department of Primary Care Health Sciences at the University of Oxford, Director of the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine, a fellow of Kellogg College and an NHS Honorary Clinical Consultant and GP.

In a surprisingly challenging and skeptical interview our own Claudia Schaffner grills Tristram Wyatt about the evidence for and against human pheromones, along with how we challenge bad science in the field (and in general). Tristram is a founding fellow of Kellogg College and a senior researcher at the Department of Zoology, University of Oxford. The second edition of his single-author book Pheromones and Animal Behavior (Cambridge University Press) won the Royal Society of Biology’s prize for the Best Postgraduate Textbook in 2014. His next book, Animal Behaviour: A Very Short Introduction, will be published by OUP in 2017. His TED talk on human pheromones has had 1 million views.

A corporation interested in patenting ‘human pheromones’ for profit created a long lasting myth that has roped in many scientists as well as the general public. Tristram Wyatt will describe what went wrong and what would be needed to establish that we do have pheromones (chemical signals within a species). One of the most promising leads is communication between mothers and babies, not sex. Tristram is a founding fellow of Kellogg College and a senior researcher at the Department of Zoology, University of Oxford. The second edition of his single-author book Pheromones and Animal Behavior (Cambridge University Press) won the Royal Society of Biology’s prize for the Best Postgraduate Textbook in 2014.

A talk hosted by Kellogg College and the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine at the University Museum of Natural History, as part of the University's Alumni Weekend. Presented by Carl Heneghan, Jeff Aronson, Deb Cohen, Ben Goldacre, chaired by Sharon Mickan. Is it surprising that individual and institutional self-interests in research, combined with increased global competition, undermine scientific integrity? Regulatory systems that aim to underpin health research are under considerable strain. Keeping track of, and explaining why research goes wrong, is an important priority for delivery of sustained health outcomes, and support of the conduct of high quality research. Deb Cohen’s investigative work has highlighted that revision rates for hip joints are at least double that of other materials. Despite earlier reports from Australia that the implant was causing problems, the metal on metal hip continued to be widely used. Ben Goldacre believes medicine is broken. “And genuinely believes that if patients and the public ever fully understand what has been done to them – what doctors, academics and regulators have permitted – they will be angry.” Jeff Aronson has spent a lifetime researching adverse drug reactions, and perceives there is considerable room for improvement in our understanding. Whilst, Carl Heneghan has shown that the regulatory framework for drugs is so lax, it is not surprising that devices over time have proven to be deadly.

A panel discussion hosted by Kellogg College on Friday 29th November 2013. The panellists discuss the global governance of migration, migrant rights and development. The regulation of international migration and migrant rights are among the most contested public policy issues around the world. In 2013-14 a series of high-level policy meetings (including the High-Level Dialogue on Migration and Development in New York, and the Global Forum on Migration and Development in Stockholm) will debate the global governance of migration, migrant rights and development. Do we need more global governance of international migration? If so, why and what should it aim to achieve? How, if at all, should international migration be integrated in the post-2015 development agenda?

At the time of the 2008 global credit crunch, I participated in Oxford's online debate on whether the economic crisis sounded the death knell for laissez faire capitalism. I argued it did, not because I was naive enough to think that laissez faire policies would be abandoned, but because they should be, and until and unless they are, a repeat of the credit crunch and the resultant global recession hangs over us. In this talk I will review the record of the past five years, and consider prospects for the future.

I argued it did, not because I was naive enough to think that laissez faire policies would be abandoned, but because they should be, and until and unless they are, a repeat of the credit crunch and the resultant global recession hangs over us. In this talk I will review the record of the past five years, and consider prospects for the future.

The 25 years up to the 2007-8 global credit crunch were ones of privatisation, deregulation, financialisation and, in the UK, demutualisation. Professor Jonathan Michie will discuss the causes and consequences of the global credit crunch. The 25 years up to the 2007-8 global credit crunch were ones of privatisation, deregulation, financialisation and, in the UK, demutualisation. Many claimed that we had entered a new era of prosperity, with the end of 'boom and bust'. Others argued that the form that globalisation was not inevitable, and that the increasing inequality was a policy choice that could and should be resisted. This talk will discuss the causes and consequences of the global credit crunch. Economist Professor Jonathan Michie is Director of the Department for Continuing Education and President of Kellogg College. He specialises in mutuals and employee-owned companies and globalisation.

The Cambrian Explosion is one of the most spectacular episodes in Earth history, with the first traces of animals appearing in the fossil record at around 550 million years, and most modern major groups (phyla and classes) present by 510 Ma. The event occurs after a long period, around one billion years, of limited evolutionary innovation, and immediately postdates the Snowball Earth event - a period of major climate perturbation when ice caps extended from the poles to the palaeo-equator. Furthermore, there are very few phyla and classes that evolve after this time interval. The coincidence of timing has proved irresistible for those in search of a causal mechanism for the origin of animals, and the deglaciation and return to equable climates has been hypothesised as a trigger for this major evolutionary innovation. Recent work in northern Greenland has shed light both on the nature of the Snowball Earth event and on the environmental conditions in which the major period of evolutionary diversification occurred. The Sirius Passet fossil locality on the northern tip of Greenland is the oldest of the global Cambrian localities with exceptional fossil preservation and offers new insights to the early evolutionary history of major animal groups, including the deuterostomes, a group that includes acorn worms, starfish and vertebrates.

A seminar presentation on doctoral research, employing probate inventories for the Oxfordshire market town of Thame in the 17th century. A presentation of doctoral research to the Archaeology and Local History seminar series at Kellogg College in November 2011, outlining theoretical and methodological approaches to the interpretation of probate inventories and other contemporary evidence in order to describe the experience of essentially non-elite daily life in the early modern period, and the changes in domestic culture which indicate wider shifts in modes of consumption and social relationships. The research also aimed to develop a better understanding of the operation of domestic culture; an interrelationship of material, social and conceptual elements.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Newton's Laws of Motion. In 1687 Isaac Newton attempted to explain the movements of everything in the universe, from a pea rolling on a plate to the position of the planets. It was a brilliant, vaultingly ambitious and fiendishly complex task; it took him three sentences. These are the three laws of motion with which Newton founded the discipline of classical mechanics and conjoined a series of concepts - inertia, acceleration, force, momentum and mass - by which we still describe the movement of things today. Newton's laws have been refined over the years – most famously by Einstein - but they were still good enough, 282 years after they were published, to put Neil Armstrong on the Moon. With Simon Schaffer, Professor in History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Cambridge and Fellow of Darwin College; Raymond Flood, University Lecturer in Computing Studies and Mathematics and Senior Tutor at Kellogg College, University of Oxford; Rob Iliffe, Professor of Intellectual History and History of Science at the University of Sussex.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss negative numbers, a history of mystery and suspicion. In 1759 the British mathematician Francis Maseres wrote that negative numbers "darken the very whole doctrines of the equations and make dark of the things which are in their nature excessively obvious and simple". Because of their dark and mysterious nature, Maseres concluded that negative numbers did not exist, as did his contemporary, William Friend. However, other mathematicians were braver. They took a leap into the unknown and decided that negative numbers could be used during calculations, as long as they had disappeared upon reaching the solution. The history of negative numbers is one of stops and starts. The trailblazers were the Chinese who by 100 BC were able to solve simultaneous equations involving negative numbers. The Ancient Greeks rejected negative numbers as absurd, by 600 AD, the Indians had written the rules for the multiplication of negative numbers and 400 years later, Arabic mathematicians realised the importance of negative debt. But it wasn't until the Renaissance that European mathematicians finally began to accept and use these perplexing numbers. Why were negative numbers considered with such suspicion? Why were they such an abstract concept? And how did they finally get accepted? With Ian Stewart , Professor of Mathematics at the University of Warwick; Colva Roney-Dougal , Lecturer in Pure Mathematics at the University of St Andrews; Raymond Flood , Lecturer in Computing Studies and Mathematics at Kellogg College, Oxford.
