Baroness (Claire) Fox returns to the New Culture Forum to discuss the perilous state of free speech in the UK. She discusses her recent deplatforming and Royal Holloway University, where she was disinvited by the debating society following pressure from the Student Union, who deemed her -- a member of the House of Lords -- to be a threat to student safety. Baroness Fox also discusses new government legislation intended to protect campus free speech and how Government ministers in the Lords have betrayed the intent of the legislation by attempting to water it down. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

My guest today is a software engineer who, in 2021, released a word game that soon became a global obsession. He grew up in a Welsh farming village, attended the Royal Holloway University, then moved to North America to study for a Masters. In 2011, after graduating, he joined the staff of the website Reddit, where he began to design experimental games such as The Button, Place and, in his spare time, a game called Wordle.Several years later he returned to the Wordle prototype, which he finished and uploaded to his personal website in October 2021. Within a month the game had 90 players. Within two, it had 300,000. A week after that, it was being played by two million people, and had caught the attention of the New York Times, which in January last year, acquired the game for a seven-figure sum.

When the UK officially left the European Union in January 2020, much speculation was made regarding the economic and social impact this would have on the country. One area has however been overshadowed: that of education and research. What impact has Brexit had on this field, and what could be the future of British Research? In this Episode, Niamh Axe answers all your question with the help of Giovanni Travaglino, Professor of Social Psychology and Criminology at Royal Holloway University in London and Director for the Institute of the Study of Power, Crime, and Society. This episode was hosted by Niahm Axe. Edited and sound engineered by Pauline Oléon. Research and content by Niahm Axe and Victoria Bergström. Music by John Sib and Winking Fox Music.

DO WE HAVE YOUR ATTENTION? Good! But how does that work!? Our intrepid science sleuths explore why some things immediately catch your eye - or ear - while others slip by totally unnoticed. Even, on occasion, basketball bouncing gorillas. Professor Polly Dalton, a psychologist who leads The Attention Lab at Royal Holloway University, shares her surprising research into ‘inattentional blindness' - when you get so absorbed in a task you can miss striking and unusual things going on right in front of you. Dr Gemma Briggs from the Open University reveals how this can have dangerous everyday consequences: you are four times more likely to have a crash if you talk on the phone while driving -even handsfree. Drs Rutherford and Fry also hear from stroke survivor Thomas Canning, who developed the tendency to ignore everything on the left side of space, despite his vision being totally intact. And Dr Tom Manly, from the University of Cambridge's Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, helps our sleuths unpack the neuroscience of this fascinating condition.

Language is expressive, a way of opening doors or a tool for creating new dialogue. But a tool so powerful can also take us to unforeseen or unintended places. It can create narratives that become fixed, unhelpful, or exclusionary. Kübra Gümüsay is a writer and activist focusing on social justice and public discourse. Her new book is Speaking and Being, which looks at the power of words, asking whether language creates freeing new spaces or plays a part in walling them off. Our host for the discussion is Danielle Sands, Senior Lecturer in Comparative Literature and Culture at Royal Holloway University in London, where she works across disciplines bridging philosophy, literary studies and critical theory.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Samira Hussain investigates the brand of the British Royal Family. It's estimated to be one of the biggest brands in the world, steeped in history, tradition and of course scandal... In the Queen's Platinum Jubilee year we look at how recent events have changed things for the royal brand and what coming changes and challenges could mean going forward. Pauline McLaran, professor of marketing and consumer research at Royal Holloway University and co-author of Royal Fever: The British Monarchy in Consumer Culture explains how this multi-faceted brand actually functions and what she thinks are the biggest problems it faces. We'll also explore whether being associated with brand Royal is still good for business. Jason Bell is a photographer based in New York. He took the photographs of Prince George's christening and tells us about the media interest in him being linked with that job and the global response to his pictures. Chef Darren McGrady, who cooked for the Queen and Princess Diana for many years, also joins us. Darren now runs a business in Dallas, Texas called Eating Royally.

In 2015, the world reacted furiously to the deliberate acts of destruction that the Islamic State group (Da'esh) staged in the Roman-period city of Tadmor-Palmyra in Syria. This provoked numerous plans for reconstruction, with each proposed project claiming to offer the best technological solution for rebuilding the archaeological site. In this podcast, Shivaike Shah discusses these events and their ramifications with Dr Zena Kamash, a British-Iraqi archaeologist and Senior Lecturer in Roman Archaeology at Royal Holloway University. They consider some of the key questions in the thorny debates over how we treat our cultural heritage. Should we rebuild sites of cultural heritage destroyed in conflict, and what is the role of digital reconstruction? Does the proliferation of reconstruction projects in Tadmor-Palmyra represent a form of digital colonialism? Crucially, what alternatives might we envision?To find out more about this topic, check out the reading list on our website: https://www.khameleonproductions.org/khameleon-classics/tadmor-palmyra-reconstruction-digitization

Ben Crewe, Susie Hulley and Serena Wright discuss their research on the implications of life imprisonment for young men and women. Their powerful experiences convey the deep and lasting sadness for all arising from such tragic events and the richness of their descriptions help us grasp the basic humanity of all those involved. This is quite a long podcast and may need two sittings. It is worth the listen and we found that the creative process, clearly evident in their work, was rekindled in the conversation itself. Life Imprisonment from Young Adulthood Adaptation, Identity and Time https://link.springer.com/book/10.1057/978-1-137-56601-0 When the Advisory Committee on the Penal System reported on the prison regime for long-term prisoners in conditions of maximum security in 1968, only 168 individuals were serving sentences of longer than 10 years. Today, such sentences are bordering on commonplace. England and Wales have the highest number of life-sentenced prisoners within Europe, while increasing average sentence lengths mean that more men and women are serving longer periods in custody than ever before.Such considerations are located within relevant shifts in the penal system of England and Wales, in particular, the legacy of the minimum tariffs contained within the 2003 Criminal Justice Act, the ‘up-tariffing' of ‘knife homicides' and the increasing use of joint enterprise sentencing.

Technecast is hosting the Invitations Series: four conversations by Judah Attille, Therese Henningsen, Mark Aerial Waller and Astrid Korporaal. Each episode is based on a research encounter with a creative practitioner connected to the field of sound & moving image. Together, the episodes question the relationships between audience, screen, maker & subject. This final episode features Therese Henningsen and Juliette Joffé, reflecting on the ongoing curatorial project Strangers Within and the notion of 'documentary as encounter' in their own films Next Year We Will Leave (2021) and Slow Delay (2018). The two films will be publicly shown for the Strangers Within anthology launch and film programme at Whitechapel Gallery in June 2022 in collaboration with Prototype. Contributors to the Strangers Within anthology and film programme are: Khalik Allah, Ruth Beckermann, Jon Bang Carlsen, Adam Christensen, Annie Ernaux, Gareth Evans, Xiaolu Guo, Therese Henningsen, Marc Isaacs, Juliette Joffé, David MacDougall, Laura Rascaroli, Bruno de Wachter, Yuya Yokota, Andrea Luka Zimmerman Strangers Within addresses convergences between encounter, hospitality and autobiography in documentary filmmaking. It engages with the risks of encounter, unsettling assumed distinctions between host and guest; stranger and friend; self and other; documentarian and protagonist. By challenging commonly held assumptions around the division between director and subject in the documentary encounter, it unsettles the filmmaker's presumed control over those she films. By staying with the difficulty of such encounters the camera can keep us open to risks that may otherwise be avoided or ignored: seeing oneself in strangers or becoming a stranger to oneself.

Vielerorts ist die Rückkehr zu autoritären Herrschaftsformen und Strukturen die Antwort. Vor diesem Hintergrund lädt die Ringvorlesung Künstler*innen des Festivals „Frankfurter Positionen 2021“ und Wissenschaftler*innen aus den mit Theater und Performance beschäftigten Disziplinen dazu ein, sich über das Verhältnis von Theater und Demokratie Gedanken zu machen. Wie reagieren neue Formen des Theaters, der Choreografie, der Gattungen und Spielarten überschreitenden Darstellungsformen auf diese Krise? Wie geht sie in ihre Formen, Organisationsweisen und Inhalte ein?

From Victorian novels to the latest Hollywood blockbusters, sci-fi regularly returns to the theme of blindness. Peter White, who was heavily influenced as a child by one of the classics, sets out to explore the impact of these explorations of sight on blind and visually impaired people. He believes a scene in The Day pf the Triffids by John Wyndham imbued him with a strange confidence - and he considers the power of science fiction to present an alternative reality for blind readers precisely at a time when lockdown and social distancing has seen visually impaired people marginalised. He talks to technology producer Dave Williams about Star Trek The Next Generation's Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge, Dr Sheri Wells-Jensen talks about Birdbox and world-building from a blind point of view in James L Cambias's A Darkling Sea. Professor Hannah Thompson of Royal Holloway University of London takes us back to 1910 to consider The Blue Peril - a novel which in some ways is more forward thinking in its depiction of blindness than Hollywood now. And Doctor Who actor Ellie Wallwork gives us her take on why blindness is so fascinating to the creators of science fiction. Presenter: Peter White Producer: Kevin Core

For Love of Neighbor: Politics For The Common Good - Episode 392 https://faithandpubliclife.com/flon/A documentary film, For Love of Neighbor: Politics for the Common Good, tells the stories of three individuals—Sen. Tim Scott, Justin Giboney, and Sarah Imboden—who, on different levels and in distinct ways, are seeking to engage faithfully in contemporary American politics.The film does not provide specific answers for how Christians should engage in politics: such as who they should vote for or what specific policies they should support. Instead, it explores foundational questions about the purpose (and limits) of politics and the proper Christian posture toward government and secular society. Ultimately, the film aims to spark further discussion and offer a hopeful vision for Christian participation in contemporary public life. Tyler Castle (Producer)Tyler Castle is the director of The American Enterprise Institute's Initiative on Faith & Public Life. He is a graduate of Westmont College’s political science program, a former John Jay Institute Fellow, and he writes regularly on issues of society, faith, and politics.Ryan Patch (Director and Producer)Ryan Patch cut his teeth telling campfire tales, growing up in the mountains and backcountry of Colorado.

Distinguished social psychologist Geert Hofstede observed the "dominance of technology over culture is an illusion. The software of the machines may be globalized, but the software of the minds that use them is not."  The role of culture in the thought process is so prevalent, yet unstated, that many cultural beliefs and biases are accepted as truths.  These cultural beliefs and biases are commonly infused into behavioral norms identifying behaviors that can be observed.  While historically,these observations have taken place in the physical realm, this talk discusses the findings of cultural markers in the cyber realm.Dr. Sample presents and discusses recent interdisciplinary, evidence-based research using culture-based models of various cyber actors (attackers, defenders and victims)to explain observations in cybersecurity behaviors. These studies were performed over the past several years using public data found in the Zone-H archives. The mining of the Zone-H archives with over 10 million records of raw data allowed for research into behaviors, choices and reasons. By using Hofstede's cultural framework to define culture along with some basic inferential statistics, specific digital identifiers were associated with cultural dimensions, allowing for more accurate modeling of cyber actors based on cultural values.  The results supported Nisbett's observation that people "think the way they do because of the nature of the societies they live in".The  discussion centers on the six dimensions of culture, the values associated with each dimension and examples of those values in cyber space. The six cultural dimensions measure views on values of self-determination, collectivism, aggression,nurturing, uncertain outcomes, holism, instant gratification, and levels of societal openness.  The behavioral traits that associate with the cultural values are behavioral traits that are consistent with cyber behaviors. About the speaker: Dr. Char Sample is the Chief Cybersecurity Research Scientist for the Cybercore division at Idaho National Laboratory. Dr. Sample is a visiting academic at the University of Warwick, Coventry, UK and a guest lecturer at Bournemouth University, Rensselaer Polytechnic University and Royal Holloway University. Dr. Sample has over 20 years experience in the information security industry. Dr. Sample's research focuses on deception, and the role of cultural values in cybersecurity events. More recently she has begun researching the relationship between human cognition and machines. Presently Dr. Sample is continuing research on modeling cyber behaviors by culture, other areas of research are data resilience, cyber-physical systems and industrial control systems.

Lo spettro della destra estrema, razzista e sovranista, si consolida in Europa. La vittoria della Lega in Italia è solo l'ultimo tassello. Il consenso per i partiti nazionalisti e neofascisti in Europa potrebbe presto scavalcare quello per le forze politiche di ispirazione democratica e socialista, secondo alcune stime fatte sulla base di sondaggi e risultati elettorali. A Memos ne abbiamo parlato oggi con Andrea Mammone, storico dell'Europa e studioso dell'estrema destra alla Royal Holloway University di Londra.

La strage di Manchester e il voto in Gran Bretagna. ..L'attentato, con i suoi 22 morti alla Manchester Arena, è stato compiuto nel pieno della campagna elettorale, a sole due settimane dal voto del prossimo 8 giugno. Quanto peserà sulla partecipazione e sull'esito delle elezioni britanniche? Quello dell'8 giugno sarà il primo voto dopo la Brexit. E' passato quasi un anno dal referendum vinto da chi voleva l'uscita della Gran Bretagna dall'Unione europea. Fino a lunedì sera la prima ministra Theresa May sembrava avviata ad una pressochè scontata vittoria sui laburisti di Jeremy Corbyn. Sarà ancora così dopo la strage di Manchester? Memos ha ospitato oggi David Ellwood, storico della Johns Hopkins University di Bologna, e Andrea Mammone che insegna storia dell'Europa alla Royal Holloway University di Londra. «Secondo me – racconta Ellwood – l'attentato di Manchester non incide in alcun modo sulla campagna elettorale e sul voto. Anzi, i britannici in queste circostanze – forti dell'esperienza degli anni degli attentati dell'Ira – ostentano il loro rifiuto di farsi influenzare». «Nemmeno io – sostiene Andrea Mammone – penso che la strage di Manchester possa influire sulle elezioni e sul risultato già di per sé scontato», dice Mammone facendo riferimento al vantaggio di Theresa May nei sondaggi. Nel corso della puntata Ellwood e Mammone analizzano i programmi elettorali di conservatori e laburisti, i tentativi della premier May di prendere le distanze dall'eredità più dura del thatcherismo, le difficoltà del leader laburista Corbyn di trasformare in consensi per il suo partito i favori maggioritari degli elettori verso singole parti del suo programma (come l'aumento delle tasse sui più ricchi, la nazionalizzazione del settore dell'energia e delle ferrovie).
