The Community of St Gregory the Great sing the Gregorian Chant Mass for the Memoria of St Hugh of Lincoln. Recorded live at Southgate House on 18 November 2024.

From naked mole rats and their teeth digging skills to kickboxing secretary birds, get ready to get your freak on. Dr. Steve Portugal from the Centre of Ecology, Evolution and Behaviour at the Royal Holloway University of London, has long been interested in the curious and peculiar behaviours of our fellow earthly inhabitants. STEVE PORTUGAL Steve Portugal is a comparative ecophysiologist. The common theme of his work focuses on how animals adapt their behaviour and ecology to the challenges of their environment, within the constraints of their own physiological and anatomical limitations. Such questions are particularly important in the light of global environmental change and exploitation of natural resources, in the emerging field of conservation physiology. From September, Steve will commence his new position as Associate Professor of Animal Behaviour at the University of Oxford and St Hugh's College.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss one of the canonical figures from the history of political thought. Marsilius of Padua (c1275 to c1343) wrote 'Defensor Pacis' (The Defender of the Peace) around 1324 when the Papacy, the Holy Roman Emperor and the French King were fighting over who had supreme power on Earth. In this work Marsilius argued that the people were the source of all power and they alone could elect a leader to act on their behalf; they could remove their leaders when they chose and, afterwards, could hold them to account for their actions. He appeared to favour an elected Holy Roman Emperor and he was clear that there were no grounds for the Papacy to have secular power, let alone gather taxes and wealth, and that clerics should return to the poverty of the Apostles. Protestants naturally found his work attractive in the 16th Century when breaking with Rome. In the 20th Century Marsilius has been seen as an early advocate for popular sovereignty and republican democracy, to the extent possible in his time.With Annabel Brett Professor of Political Thought and History at the University of CambridgeGeorge Garnett Professor of Medieval History and Fellow and Tutor at St Hugh's College, University of OxfordAnd Serena Ferente Professor of Medieval History at the University of AmsterdamProducer: Simon Tillotson In Our Time is a BBC Sounds Audio ProductionReading list: Richard Bourke and Quentin Skinner (eds), Popular Sovereignty in Historical Perspective (Cambridge University Press, 2016), especially 'Popolo and law in Marsilius and the jurists' by Serena FerenteJ.

Patrick Geoghegan and his panel explore the life, times and legacy of William The Conqueror. Was he a hero who instituted great changes, brought in legal and administrative innovations, and unified England, or a villain and invader who conquered it in a dramatic overthrow?Featuring Prof George Garnett, Professor of Medieval History at St Hugh's College, University of Oxford; Prof Virginia Davis, Professor of Medieval History, Queen Mary University of London; Prof Seán Duffy, Professor of Medieval Irish and Insular History, Trinity College Dublin; Dr Marc Morris, a historian who specializes in the Middle Ages; and Prof Hugh M.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss one of the greatest European playwrights of the twentieth century. The aim of Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956) was to make the familiar ‘strange': with plays such as Mother Courage and The Caucasian Chalk Circle he wanted his audience not to sit back but to engage, observe and discover the contradictions in life, and act on what they learnt. He developed this approach in turbulent times, from Weimar Germany to the rise of the Nazis, to exile in Scandinavia and America and then post-war life in East Berlin, and he has since inspired dramatists around the world.WithLaura Bradley Professor of German and Theatre at the University of EdinburghDavid Barnett Professor of Theatre at the University of YorkAnd Tom Kuhn Professor of Twentieth Century German Literature, Emeritus Fellow of St Hugh's College, University of OxfordProducer: Simon Tillotson In Our Time is a BBC Studios Audio productionReading list: David Barnett, Brecht in Practice: Theatre, Theory and Performance (Bloomsbury, 2014)David Barnett, A History of the Berliner Ensemble (Cambridge University Press, 2015)Laura Bradley and Karen Leeder (eds.), Brecht and the GDR: Politics, Culture, Posterity (Camden House, 2015)Laura Bradley, ‘Training the Audience: Brecht and the Art of Spectatorship' (The Modern Language Review, 111, 2016)Bertolt Brecht (ed.

Infinity is a puzzling idea. Even young children are fascinated by its various manifestations: What is the biggest number? Does the universe have an edge? Does time have a beginning? Philosophers have tried to answer these questions since time immemorial. More recently, they have been joined by scientists and mathematicians. Indeed, a whole branch of mathematics has become dedicated to the study of infinity.  So what have we learned? Can we finally understand infinity? And what has this quest taught us about ourselves?  To explore this topic, I am joined by philosopher Adrian W. Moore.  Professor Moore is a special guest for two reasons. First, he is a world expert on infinity, known for an excellent BBC series, "History of the Infinite". More personally, he is the head tutor of Philosophy at St Hugh's College, Oxford, where I studied my BA in Philosophy and Psychology. It has now been ten years since Prof Moore interviewed me and, for whatever reason, accepted me as a student. I feel honoured to mark the occasion with this episode. In this episode, we discuss: (02:35) Why infinity fascinates (12:20) Greeks on infinity (20:05) A finite cosmos?  (25:00) Zeno's paradoxes (32:35) Answering Zeno (42:35) Measuring infinities? Georg Cantor (54:05) Infinity vs human understanding (66:20) Mystics on infinity As always, we finish with Prof Moore's reflections on humanity. LINKS Want to support the show?

Within evolutionary anthropology, a persistent yet pervasive question is that of the traits of the LCA. The LCA is the last common ancestor shared by the humans, or the Homo genus, and chimpanzees and bonobos, otherwise known as the Pan genus. Learning about the LCA can inform us of what it really means to be human. What traits are unique to the hominin lineage? And how did these traits contribute to the success of our species? Izzy Rycroft, a third year Human Scientist at St Hugh's College, discusses these questions and more with Thomas Püschel, a Professor of Evolutionary Anthropology at University of Oxford. Looking to make the most of Oxford's world-leading professors, we decided to set up a platform to interview these academics on the niche, weird and wonderful from their subjects. We aim to create thought-provoking and easily digestible podcast episodes, made for anyone with an interest in the world around them.  OxPods aims to facilitate university access and outreach for students aspiring to Oxford or Cambridge.

The Possibility Club podcast: Practical Bravery - DIGITAL CONSCIOUSNESS!   In this episode of The Possibility Club, we delve into the fabric of this modern narrative. The script is changing, the actors are evolving, and the stage is expanding. It's a realm where algorithms are the new editors, and data, the ink. Yet, amidst this digital choreography, where does the human touch reside? And more so, where is it headed?   Author of 'The Media Business and Artificial Intelligence,' our guest's writings are more than just a dalliance with theories, they are a deep dive into the interplay between AI and media. His academic roles at St Hugh's College, Oxford, the Said Business School and at the National Film and Television School, look under the bonnet of the business of arts, culture, tech and entertainment.   His current roles at UNICEF UK and The Halle Orchestra symbolise a narrative that looks beyond commercial metrics, but one serious about social change.   How can we all navigate the expanse of media, technology, and social impact, maintaining a useful dance between ethics and innovation, between tradition and disruption?   In this episode of The Possibility Club, Richard Freeman would like you to meet Dr Alex Connock. ----------   "An AI person could probably do a facsimile of your voice, and your video, and possibly imitate you. So is any of us really ‘inimitable' anymore, even if we aspire to be?”   Dr Alex Connock via LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexconnock/?originalSubdomain=uk   Alex Connock via IMDB https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0175252/   Twitter — @dralexconnock   "On one level you're talking about these prosaic things, this new tool's launched, or this bit of machine learning does this, fairly mundane software stuff, and on the other hand you're talking about these really big philosophical issues, like what is creativity? What is copyright? What is consciousness? What is network? And to marry those two things together every day is genuinely fascinating and a privilege.”   Saïd Business School, University of Oxford page for Alex Connock https://www.sbs.ox.ac.uk/about-us/people/alex-connock   National Film and Television School https://nfts.co.uk/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwy4KqBhD0ARIsAEbCt6hGSIYNQIiux3JamBZ5Ks78K0TuAG0xGb-jV953MvA8o9fP3i7K4OUaAulVEALw_wcB   Alex Connock's page at the University of Exeter Business School https://business-school.exeter.ac.uk/people/profile/index.php?web_id=Alex_Connock   “I specialise in the media business and A.I. — and what a subject it is, in 2023!”   Alex Connock — Media Management and Artificial Intelligence book via Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0BKP5CZFS/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i0   ‘The Apple Metaverse - What We Know So Far' article from XR Today https://www.xrtoday.com/mixed-reality/the-apple-metaverse-what-we-know-so-far/   "The Great British export is probably cultural capital.

Elizabeth Anscombe, Mary Midgley, Iris Murdoch, and Philippa Foot are four of the twentieth century's most important British philosophers. Oxford was the place where they met, and where their philosophical views were shaped. On this walking tour you will visit some of the places where events of significance in the lives of the women took place between 1938 and the mid-Fifties. You will learn about their lives and their philosophy. All the locations on this tour, and many more besides, feature in the book Metaphysical Animals: How Four Women Brought Philosophy Back to Life, and can be found on the associated website, mappingthequartet.org This podcast (series 6) is a walking tour around Oxford. If you would like to learn about the Quartet's philosophy from the comfort of your home, try our other podcasts (series 1-5) found on womeninparenthesis.co.uk This is episode number #14. There are 18 individual episodes. The order in which we have placed the locations is based on what we thought would make for a pleasant and economic walk, rather than by the chronology of the various events. You can download a map of the journey and a full transcript of this podcast series from womeninparenthesis.co.uk (search for Podcasts within the Creative Resources section). If you would prefer, you can access the walking tour as a single full-length episode - #1 of this series. This production was brought to you by Women In Parenthesis.

The final of Ireland's first national digital skills competition, Ireland's Future is MINE, is scheduled to be televised on RTÉ2 on June 16th at 5 pm. Delivered through a collaboration between Microsoft Ireland and RTÉjr, the competition's final will see St. Hugh's National Primary School from Leitrim and Moyvore Primary School from Westmeath battle it out for first place. Launched in September 2021, the ‘Ireland's Future is MINE' digital skills competition challenged primary school students to use Minecraft: Education Edition to think creatively, collaborate, problem-solve and shape Ireland's sustainable future. Since its launch, schools across Ireland have entered the competition and students have explored fun challenges such as building their own NASA rover and coding their very own polar ice hut. These challenges, made possible through Minecraft: Education Edition, are aligned to both the Republic and Northern Irish curriculums covering subjects from English, Maths, Science, Geography, SPHE and more.

This episode is a recording of the online conference and webinar on the topic Well Being that was held on 29th June 2021.  The event and this recording contains presentations and talks from national leaders in the field of mental health, well being, trauma informed practice and psychology including Professor Barry Carpenter CBE OBE FCCT, Dr Tina Rae, Sharon Gray OBE and Laura Purser, as well as 5 school based practitioners and leaders from a wide range of settings and contexts. Professor Carpenter writes... "The pandemic period has witnessed a rapid erosion in the mental health of children. National figures are worrying, but as ever, as Teachers, we must ask ‘how does this affect children's learning, and how can we remove barriers to achievement generated by issues such as anxiety, trauma and loss?”    Two major Curriculum initiatives from this September will enhance the foundations created, pre pandemic, of Mental Health Leads in school, Mental Heath First Aid Training, etc: Firstly, for all children, the new DfE Relationships, Health and Sex Education (RHSE) Curriculum becomes statutory. With its clear focus on Mental Well Being and Relationships, these are perfect platforms for rebuilding each school's curriculum on meaningful human values, with RSHE at its heart, … for teaching is a relationship based profession. Secondly, for children with SEND, the implementation of the Rochford Review recommendations, not only brings the Engagement Model into play as statutory summative assessment, but sees a renewed emphasis on the 4 domains of SEND in the Code of Practice (2015) as the curriculum framework for children with an EHCP. As such Social, Emotional and Mental Health, (SEMH), is a vital platform for designing learning opportunities for children with EHCPs. Evidence for Learning has a strong history of facilitating curriculum development, pedagogy, assessment and practice in the area of Mental Well Being (MWB) through a variety of strategies."   Alongside Prof. Barry Carpenter, presenters included national leaders and experts in the field – Dr Tina Rae, Sharon Gray OBE, and Laura Purser – together with school based practitioners – Alison Wheeler, Alex Tomkins, Jeanette Scull, Jonah Stancombe and Tom Thatcher – for a rich and comprehensive collection of presentations and sharing of knowledge, ideas and practice that you are invited to take back to your own schools for your own discussions, planning and CPLD.   GUESTS/SPEAKERS/PANELLISTS: Prof. Barry Carpenter CBE OBE FCCT (Prof. Mental Health in Education, Oxford Brookes University)  Dr Tina Rae (Child Psychologist. Prolific & award winning author) Sharon Gray OBE (Former-Headteacher. Former-Ofsted Inspector. Member of the Youth Justice Board, Wholehearted Learning) Laura Purser (Head of Primary, Prep & EYFS at University of Buckingham. Designs/leads master's level NASENCO course.) Alison Wheeler (Headteacher, Palmerston School) Alex Tomkins (Deputy Headteacher, Greenside School) Jeanette Scull (Deputy Headteacher, John F Kennedy School) Jonah Stancombe (Assistant Principal, Bridge College) Tom Thatcher (PSHE Lead, St Hugh's Special School)   This episode is packed full of valuable ideas and insights, with colleagues sharing knowledge, ideas and practice that you are invited to take back to your own schools for your own discussions, planning and CPLD.   You can watch and listen to a video slide show of the presentation on the episode webpage: https://www.evidenceforlearning.net/learningshared/episode-24-well-being-conference On the episode page, we've also listed links to resources and videos that you might find useful and interesting for further reading.   --------------------------------------------------- We've created private groups in Facebook and Linkedin where colleagues and peers can discuss and share thoughts, ideas, experiences, resources and learning in relation to supporting the needs of vulnerable learners and learners with SEND.    EfL SEND Community Group  Join us at:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/eflSENDCommunity/  or search for “eflSENDCommunity” in Facebook.    The purpose of this group is to provide a safe, closed space to seek out and share ideas, experience and resources that can help with any and all aspects of SEND provision. It's also a community for practitioners and schools that use Evidence for Learning and Insights for Learning to share ideas, resources and support each other in using these apps.

The closing remarks by Helen Antrobus, National Public Programme Curator, National Trust at the Women and Power conference which took place on the 6th and 7th March 2019. Women and Power: Redressing the Balance was a 2-day conference, jointly convened by the National Trust and the University of Oxford, which took place on the 6th and 7th March 2019 at St Hugh’s College in Oxford. The conference brought together professionals from across the academic and heritage sectors to reflect on programming around the 2018 centenary of the Representation of the People Act which granted some women the right to vote and to look to the future of researching and programming women’s histories. The conference featured papers from a range of heritage, cultural and academic institutions who marked the centenary anniversary. Many of the programmes, exhibitions and events that responded to the centenary not only explored the stories of 100 years ago but openly questioned the representation of women’s lives in the histories inherited by curators and researchers, and experienced in public life, today.

‘Women Making History: The Leaders of Today’ is a roundtable session exploring the presence of women in senior roles in heritage organisations, at the Women and Power conference which took place on the 6th and 7th March 2019.

This roundtable session ‘Women Making History: The Leaders of Today’ explores the presence of women in senior roles in heritage organisations through the lived experience of the first generation of female museum leaders. What difference have these women made to how heritage is managed, preserved, and constructed? What barriers have they encountered? How have these women helped others to succeed? The session draws on the findings of three projects which have all sought to make a difference for women working in the sector: the Women Leaders in Museums Network; the Confidence Choice and Connections programme; and the Changing the Narrative initiative. It explores the ways in which cohorts of women have worked together to support each other and encouraged other women to put themselves forward for leadership roles in the sector and discusses what is needed in future to ensure the representation of women’s experiences in all aspects of heritage practice.

Taxation is central to the social contract between citizens and the state. Yet little research has explored the relationship in developing countries between individual attitudes towards the social contract and perceptions of tax fairness and efficacy. This recording of a seminar draws on experimental research with informal sector workers in Mexico and a unique survey on taxation and social protection in Myanmar to help advance the debate. Focusing on individual perceptions, they show that in contexts of high informality and weak state capacity, reciprocity and individual preferences for redistribution shape tax morale. They point to the centrality of fairness, finding that tax morale is lower when individuals have stepped outside of the social contract and the welfare state through reliance on private insurance or informal reciprocity mechanisms. Furthermore, they present evidence that individuals are less willing to pay taxes when they doubt the redistributive capacity of the state or know the rich will ultimately benefit.

Kirsty Young's castaway this week is the lawyer Dame Elish Angiolini. The first woman to become both Scotland's Solicitor General and Lord Advocate she's currently principal of St Hugh's College Oxford. It's a long way from Govan where her father heaved bags of coal round the streets and there wasn't always money for the meter. She was the youngest of four and by her own admission being "gabby" was the only way she got heard. It's an early skill that seems to have served her pretty well - in the legal establishment she gained a reputation as a gutsy moderniser, unafraid to challenge the system. Among her innovations a pioneering support scheme for vulnerable victims and establishing the National Crimes Sex Unit for Scotland - the first of its kind in Europe. Her predisposition to seeing things from the victim's point of view might have something to do with her own experience - in 1984 she was badly injured in a rail disaster that killed 13 others - including the two men sitting opposite her. She says "... Advocacy is a great life skill. If you go to your bank manager asking for an overdraft, or if you barter at a market, you are employing advocacy skills. It is all about empathy and charisma." Producer: Paula McGinley.
