Watch the Q&A session here: https://youtu.be/G_SpC_BV4jAIn the late nineteenth century, Joseph Chamberlain transformed Birmingham with municipal enterprise and urban improvement, but in the last few years, local authorities have been facing serious financial difficulties, and some of the largest, such as Birmingham, have faced the equivalent of bankruptcy. This lecture will ask why British cities have lost the confident civic pride of the Victorian era and are now struggling to provide basic services from a limited financial base. Most importantly: What can be done to regenerate British towns and cities?     This lecture was recorded by Martin Daunton on 24th April 2025 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.Professor Martin Daunton is Visiting Gresham Professor of Economic History.He is a British academic and historian. He was Master of Trinity Hall, Cambridge, between 2004 and 2014.

His book The Economic Government of the World, 1933 to 2023 was published by Allen Lane in 2023.The transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/cities-bankruptGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

She now lives in Essex with her husband and three children. Alongside writing and teaching secondary English, she is a member of Critical Collective, a woman's group advocating against racism and crimes against humanity."

Why Does Britain Have a Water and Sewage Crisis? - Martin Daunton

The discharge of raw sewage into rivers, and the financial problems of major water companies, have become serious political and social concerns for the public. British cities have faced similar challenges in the past, most notoriously with the ‘Great Stink' in London in 1858 that led to the construction of Bazalgette's sewer. Consequently, many cities took utilities into public ownership in the late nineteenth century in what is termed ‘gas and water socialism'. Why did this happen, and why were utilities returned to private ownership in the later twentieth century? The lecture will conclude by assessing the success or failure of the current system of regulated private ownership. Should there be a return to public ownership?This lecture was recorded by Martin Daunton on 11th February 2025 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.Professor Martin Daunton is Visiting Gresham Professor of Economic History.He is a British academic and historian.

Yet surprisingly little systematic attention has been devoted to the relationship between the two. In his inaugural lecture as Professor of International Dispute Resolution in the University of Cambridge, McLachlan argues that the neglect of this interface is highly consequential for our understanding of law's capacity to control the State and the corporation, which are, respectively, the principal holders of public/political and private/economic power in the world.Campbell McLachlan is elected as Professor of Law (1973) in the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of Trinity Hall.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss one of the most influential theologians of the twentieth century. Karl Barth (1886 - 1968) rejected the liberal theology of his time which, he argued, used the Bible and religion to help humans understand themselves rather than prepare them to open themselves to divine revelation. Barth's aim was to put God and especially Christ at the centre of Christianity. He was alarmed by what he saw as the dangers in a natural theology where God might be found in a rainbow or an opera by Wagner; for if you were open to finding God in German culture, you could also be open to accepting Hitler as God's gift as many Germans did. Barth openly refused to accept Hitler's role in the Church in the 1930s on these theological grounds as well as moral, for which he was forced to leave Germany for his native Switzerland.WithStephen Plant Dean and Runcie Fellow at Trinity Hall, University of CambridgeChristiane Tietz Professor for Systematic Theology at the University of ZurichAnd Tom Greggs Marischal Professor of Divinity at the University of AberdeenProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list:Karl Barth, God Here and Now (Routledge, 2003)Karl Barth (trans.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the ideas and life of the German theologian, born in Breslau/Wroclaw in 1906 and killed in the Flossenbürg concentration camp on 9th April 1945. Bonhoeffer developed ideas about the role of the Church in the secular world, in particular Germany after the Nazis took power in 1933 and demanded the Churches' support. He strongly opposed anti-Semitism and, with a role in the Military Intelligence Department, took part in the resistance, plotting to kill Hitler and meeting with contacts in the Allies. Bonhoeffer's ideas on Christian ethics and the relationship between Christianity and humanism spread more widely from the 1960s with the discovery of unpublished works, including those written in prison as he awaited execution.

What is it that drives Harriet Lamb, the woman behind the Fairtrade movement and current CEO of WRAP? It is the first question we ask in this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, and the answer is a chastening one. "I was researching why bananas are so cheap in our shops and I went to Costa Rica," she says. "I was met by Carlos, who drives me for miles through plantations of bananas, beautifully green, absolutely silent because so many pesticides have been used that there is none of the normal animal life.  "Carlos was one of the tens of thousands of Latin American men who was made sterile as a result of spraying those chemicals. But he took me to meet a woman, Maria, who suffered a worse fate. "She gave birth to a baby whose head was swollen like a huge balloon, with no eyelids, with no lips. She said the worst thing was that her baby was in constant pain.  "Even when she scooped him up to comfort him, which is of course your instinct as a mum, it only made the crying worse. And there was nothing she could do but cry with him.  "Carlos and I left Maria and got back in the car and drove back through those silent banana plantations and I knew then, as I know now, that there has to be a better way to grow food and trade our food, than one that puts people and planet last like that." In the years that followed, Harriet built the Fairtrade movement. Join the conversation – take part in Sustainable Food Week The certification system laid out production standards for global trade, protecting countless workers and farmers from exploitation, unlivable incomes, and unacceptable working conditions. She is an experienced CEO, having also led the peace-building organisation, International Alert, and the sustainability focused charity Ashden. She has received an embarrassment of well-deserved recognition for her work, including being awarded a CBE and becoming the first woman Honorary Fellow of Trinity Hall, Cambridge. Harriet has recently taken on the role of CEO at WRAP, an NGO working globally to tackle the climate crisis and ensure a sustainable future. In this episode of the podcast, we explore her extraordinary career, look at some of the work she is doing with WRAP, and talk about the future of sustainability.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the period between the execution of Charles I in 1649 and the unexpected restoration of his son Charles II in 1660, known as The Interregnum. It was marked in England by an elusive pursuit of stability, with serious consequences in Scotland and notorious ones in Ireland. When Parliament executed Charles it had also killed Scotland and Ireland's king, without their consent; Scotland immediately declared Charles II king of Britain, and Ireland too favoured Charles. In the interests of political and financial security, Parliament's forces, led by Oliver Cromwell, soon invaded Ireland and then turned to defeating Scotland. However, the improvised power structures in England did not last and Oliver Cromwell's death in 1658 was followed by the threat of anarchy. In England, Charles II had some success in overturning the changes of the 1650s but there were lasting consequences for Scotland and the notorious changes in Ireland were entrenched.

An interview with Dr Clare Jackson, the winner of Wolfson History Prize 2022 about her book, ‘Devil-Land:England Under Siege, 1588-1688′. Clare is the Senior tutor of Trinity Hall, University of Cambridge. The description for the book:Among foreign observers, seventeenth-century England was known as ‘Devil-Land': a diabolical country of fallen angels, torn apart by rebellion, religious extremism and royal collapse. Clare Jackson's dazzling account of English history's most radical era tells the story of a nation in a state of near continual crisis.As an unmarried, childless heretic, Elizabeth I was regarded with horror by Catholic Europe, while her Stuart successors, James I and Charles I, were seen as impecunious and incompetent, unable to manage their three kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland. The traumatic civil wars, regicide and a republican Commonwealth were followed by the floundering rule of Charles II and James II, before William of Orange invaded and a new order was imposed.Devil-Land reveals England as, in many ways, a ‘failed state': endemically unstable and rocked by devastating events from the Gunpowder Plot to the Great Fire of London. Catastrophe nevertheless bred creativity, and Jackson makes brilliant use of eyewitness accounts – many penned by stupefied foreigners – to dramatize her great story. Starting on the eve of the Spanish Armada in 1588 and concluding with a not-so ‘Glorious Revolution' a hundred years later, Devil-Land is a spectacular reinterpretation of England's vexed and enthralling past.To check the book out, visit the link here.For more on the Wolfson History Prize, here is the link.

In this episode I have an amazing discussion with Andrew McConnell, author of the newly released Get Out of My Head: Creating Modern Clarity with Stoic Wisdom. Bombshells, you are going to want to listen to this one TWICE,  take some notes, then order the book and download the free workbook, stat! Andrew outlines how to go from being a "mind tenant" to a "mind owner." He says we spend far too much of our lives giving away our headspace to people who don't deserve it, and leave ourselves renting the remnants as mental tenants. Our mind is our most valuable possession, Andrew says, so becoming a mind owner is the single best investment you can make.  Of course, we have a conversation that opens us both up to our personal experiences like how and when we've rented our headspace out and when we've been determined not to. One of the many reasons I just love Andrew is because he is both real and intentional, and I think you will find yourself lost in this conversation as you consider how many of your thoughts you own versus how many you surrender to others or even “other versions of yourself.” (Yeah, that one hit me in between the eyes, too! I SO do that sometimes! You'll have to listen to find out what that means!) It is true that our thoughts lead to beliefs and then action. So personally, I'm always a work in progress, but I can attest that when I have applied these principles, I have had much more success in managing my mind AND the outcomes in my life.

From the Big Bang to black holes, his work on the universe's origins and structure revolutionized the field. Hawking was born in Oxford into a family of doctors. He began his university education at University College, Oxford, in 1959. He received a first-class BA degree in physics. Hawking began his graduate work at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, in 1962. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in applied mathematics and theoretical physics, specializing in general relativity and cosmology, in March 1966. Like Isaac Newton, he was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge between 1979 and 2009. At age 21, while studying cosmology at the University of Cambridge, he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Part of his life story was depicted in the 2014 film The Theory of Everything. Introduction The Theory of Everything is a series of lectures given by Stephen Hawking. The goal of these lectures is to outline what scientists believe is the history of the universe. As a result, he offers a history of science's understanding of the universe. Additionally, he clearly explains the events that unfolded immediately after the Big Bang. Hawking also covers the cosmological field he is most famous for: the study of black holes. StoryShot #1: The Original Four Ideas About the Universe Aristotle Aristotle considered the idea of a round Earth as early as 340 BC. In his book, On the Heavens, he wrote about two theories that suggested Earth was spherical. First off, he had observed that the Earth being between the Sun and the Moon caused the moon eclipses. As the Earth's shadow on the Moon was always round, this suggested the Earth was round. Aristotle learned from his travels that the Pole Star is lower in the sky when viewed in the South. Again, this would propose that the Earth is spherical rather than disc-shaped. Although Aristotle's conclusions were correct, his theories were still flawed. For example, he believed the Earth was stationary and that the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars had circular orbits around the Earth.  Ptolemy Ptolemy built upon these ideas in the first century AD. He created a complete cosmological model with Earth at the center. Eight spheres carrying the Moon, Sun, stars, and five planets surrounded the Earth. The five known planets were Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Again, Ptolemy made apparent mistakes in his theory. However, he developed Aristotle's ideas and provided a reasonably accurate system for predicting the positions of the structures visible at night. The Christian Church generally accepted this theory, partly because it placed the Earth at the center of the universe.  Copernicus In 1514, Nicholas Copernicus suggested a much simpler model of the universe. Copernicus was a Polish priest. He then published his model anonymously for fear of being accused of heresy. Copernicus argued that the Sun was stationary at the center of the universe. The Earth and planets moved in circular orbits around the Sun. No one took this idea seriously until approximately 100 years later. At this point, Johannes Kepler and Galileo Galilei started publicly supporting this theory. The recently invented telescope supported Copernicus' view that the Earth was not the center of the universe. Galileo observed that several moons orbit Jupiter. This implied there was no need for all celestial bodies to orbit the...

Humans have not only created physical machines, but also mental machines, which my guest calls cognitive gadgets, that enable our minds to go farther, faster and in different directions than the minds of other animals. Professor Cecilia Heyes is Senior Research Fellow in psychology at All Souls College at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of the British Academy. Cecilia trained as an experimental psychologist at University College London and was a Harkness Fellow in the United States, as well as a research fellow at Trinity Hall at Cambridge University. She returned to UCL as a faculty member before coming to Oxford. Her work in experimental and theoretical psychology examines the evolution of human cognition. It explores the ways in which natural selection, learning, developmental and cultural processes combine to produce the mature cognitive abilities found in adult humans. Most of her current projects suggest that the neurocognitive mechanisms enabling cultural inheritance - social learning, imitation, mirror neurons, mind reading etc - are themselves the products of cultural evolution. In 2018 Cecilia published her latest book on these topics, titled Cognitive Gadgets: The Cultural Evolution of Thinking. http://users.ox.ac.uk/~ascch/index.htm Book: https://www.amazon.com/Cognitive-Gadgets-Cultural-Evolution-Thinking/dp/0674980158 Twitter: @CeliaHeyes
