New research shows more over-40s are giving birth than teenagers for the first time in history. Why? And what does it mean for the future of fertility? We ask Lindsay Davidson, who had her son at 43, and Dr Luciano Nardo of Now Clinics. Meanwhile, as a new Netflix documentary sounds the alarm over kidfluencing, Meta says it will ban its live features for under-16s. So, where is the line when it comes to our kids’ online interactions? Coach Maysaa Fahour and Dubai-based child influencer DJ Michelle join Helen. Adelina Gschwandtner, an economist at the University of Kent, joins the show to delve into new research which suggests getting a pet could improve our lives as much as getting a spouse, or a AED20k a month payrise… And Tom Poulson, Sales Director at Haus & Haus, is on hand to examine the sales boom in Dubai's villa communities...

Following the announcement of the ‘Windsor Framework' between the UK and Brussels over Northern Ireland's trading arrangements - ending the most bitter Brexit dispute - there is a palpable sense that the UK may have turned a corner in its relations with the EU. With the UK taking a leading role in support of Ukraine and in more broadly countering Russia , the country also seems to have to have reasserted itself as one of Europe's leading powers. At home, the weakening of the Scottish Nationalist movement and their drive for independence has also brought a sense that another cloud hanging over the future of the UK has begun to pass. Perhaps for the first time since the 2016 vote to leave the EU, the UK can begin to look ahead with greater confidence about its place in Europe and the wider world. However, the UK also faces considerable challenges operating outside major trading blocs and facing a complex and increasingly hostile international security environment. Join us on this edition of the Global Security Briefing as host Neil Melvin is joined by Dr. Richard Whitman, Senior Fellow on the UK in a Changing Europe initiative (University of Kent) to discuss just how the UK will navigate these important challenges. Outside the EU, but at the heart of European security, what does the UK now look like as a European security actor?

Links from the show:* Connect with Frank on Twitter* Read Frank's newsletter* Frank's booksAbout my guest: Frank Furedi is a sociologist and social commentator. He is Emeritus Professor of Sociology at the University of Kent in Canterbury. Since the late 1990s, Frank has been widely cited about his views on why Western societies find it so difficult to engage with risk and uncertainty. He has published widely about controversies relating to issues such as health, parenting children, food and new technology. His book Invitation To Terror; Expanding the Empire of the Unknown (2007) explores the way in which the threat of terrorism has become amplified through the ascendancy of precautionary thinking. It develops the arguments contained in two previous books, Culture of Fear (2002) and Paranoid Parenting (2001). Both of these works investigate the interaction between risk consciousness and perceptions of fear, trust relations and social capital in contemporary society. ​ Frank has also written extensively about issues to do with education and cultural life. His book, Wasted: Why Education Is Not Educating (2009) deals with the influence of the erosion of adult authority on schooling. On Tolerance (2011) offers a restatement of the importance of this concept for an open society. Authority: A Sociological History (2013) examines how the modern world has become far more comfortable with questioning authority than with affirming it. ​ Frank is committed to promoting the ideals of a humanist education and his writings on higher education are devoted to affirming the value of the liberal arts. His forthcoming book is titled Democracy Under Siege: Don't Let Them Lock It Down! and will be published by Zer0 Books in October 2020. The book offers a positive affirmation of the principle and the value of democracy. ​ At present he is engaged in a research project that explores the history of the relationship between the problem of identity and the difficulty that western society has in engaging with issues pertaining to morality. His work has as its focus on the process of socialisation and intergenerational relations. Furedi's studies on the problem of morality run in parallel with his exploration of the problem of cultural authority. Since Authority, A Sociological History (Cambridge University Press 2013) he has published a study a study The First World War: Still No End In Sight – which interprets this event as the precursor of today's Culture Wars. His study, Populism And The Culture Wars In Europe: the conflict of values between Hungary and the EU, discusses the sociological implications of the tension between populists and anti-populist political currents. His forthcoming book, Why We Need Borders seeks to explain the significance that physical borders and symbolic boundaries have for providing communities with meaning. ​ Frank's books and articles offer an authoritative yet lively account of key developments in contemporary cultural life. Using his insights as a professional sociologist, he has produced a series of agenda-setting books that have been widely discussed in the media. His books have been translated into 13 languages. ​ Frank regularly comments on radio and television. He has appeared on Newsnight, Sky News and BBC News, Radio Four's Today programme, and a variety of other radio television shows. Internationally, he has been interviewed by the media in Australia, Canada, the United States, Poland, Holland, Belgium, Brazil, and Germany. His articles have been published in New Scientist, the Guardian, the Independent, the Financial Times, the Daily Telegraph, the Daily Express, the Daily Mail, the Wall Street Journal, the Independent on Sunday, India Today, L'Espresso, The Times, The Sunday Times, the Observer, the Sunday Telegraph, the Globe and Mail (Toronto), the Christian Science Monitor, the Times Higher Education Supplement, spiked, the Times Literary Supplement, Harvard Business Review, Die Welt and Die Zeit, among others.

It's been said that philanthropy is under attack. In this episode we explore key arguments in favour and against philanthropy and highlight opportunities for the road ahead.  No matter your views on philanthropy, you will find this episode informative and thought-provoking.  Beth worked as a fundraiser and charity manager for a decade before co-founding the Centre for Philanthropy at the University of Kent in 2008. She researched and wrote the annual Coutts Million Pound Donor Report from 2008-2017, co-authored Richer Lives: why rich people give (2013), The Logic of Charity: Great Expectations in Hard Times (2015) and co-edited The Philanthropy Reader (2016).  Her last book The New Fundraisers: who organises generosity in contemporary society? won the AFP Skystone Research Partners book prize for 2018, and her new book, published in Autumn 2021, ‘In Defence of Philanthropy', is a timely response to growing critiques of private giving.

The Barbary Lion is a distinct population of lions of the northern subspecies of lion, Panthera leo leo. that roamed the North of Africa from the western coast of Morocco through to Egypt. They were one of the most prized and heralded exotic animals in the world, fighting bloody battles at the Colosseum, gatekeeping the famous Tower of London and they formed part of the traditional royal collection of lions for generations of Moroccan sultans and kings. but through centuries of hunting and agricultural expansion, the Barbary lion became extinct in the wild. But what if I told you that there are lions right now in zoos across the north of Africa and Europe that some people think are genetically distinct enough to be a Barbary Lion? And if this is true, what do we do ... how do we protect them ... and can we reintroduce back to the wilds of the Barbary coast? Links Barbary Lion Blog

More positive contact [with an outgroup] reduces prejudice. No matter how you measure it, no matter how you set up your study design, once there's a positive contact situation, you lower prejudice towards the outgroup... These effects tend to be stronger among those higher on social dominance orientation and those higher on right-wing authoritarianism, which makes intergroup contact quite a good and efficient strategy to reduce prejudice among those who seem to be initially prejudiced towards outgroups.- Kristof DhontRecent psychological research on intergroup contact and human-animal relations has implications for effective animal advocacy strategy. But what are the most action-relevant findings? And how can researchers maximize their positive impact for animals?Kristof is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Kent. He founded and directs a research group focused on the “Study of Human Intergroup and Animal Relations at Kent.” He recently edited the book Why We Love and Exploit Animals and organises the Animal Advocacy Conference: Insights from the Social Sciences.Topics discussed in the episode:Kristof's most action-relevant work for animal advocates and the audience of his work (1:29)Finding the balance between academic rigor and making work accessible to advocates (6:15)SHARKLab and the academic field of human-animal relations (13:28)Connections between right-wing authoritarianism, social dominance orientation, and animal exploitation (26:02)“Vegetarianism threat,” its correlates, and its causes (41:12)The pros and cons of advocacy focusing on children (55:38)Research on human intergroup interactions and what this suggests about farmed animal advocacy (58:08)The importance of intergroup contact (including between humans and animals) being experienced as positive, in order to improve attitudes towards outgroups (1:12:32)The “secondary transfer effect” of intergroup contact, where reducing prejudice towards one outgroup also reduces prejudice towards other outgroups (1:14:52)How research careers and training in academia compare to research careers in nonprofits and more independent skills development (1:18:05)Advice on PhD applications and on research careers (1:31:16)The interaction between researchers in the academic sphere and the “effective animal advocacy” sphere (1:47:55)Resources discussed in the episode are available at https://www.sentienceinstitute.org/podcastSupport the showSupport the show (https://www.sentienceinstitute.org/donate)

Luke joins David to discuss his forthcoming book on public space in Late Antiquity, reading Gibbon's Decline and Fall at the age of 12, how a birthday trip to Hadrian's Wall had to be postponed so he could have an emergency operation, why Constantine I is one his favourite emperors but he doesn't have much time for Justinian anymore, studying in Germany, France, Belgium, Turkey and Italy, his thoughts on the current state of late antique studies, and why Scythopolis in the AD500 was a much better place to live than Athens or Pompeii... Luke Lavan is a Lecturer in Archaeology at the University of Kent. You can find out more about the Late Antique Archaeology Series here (https://brill.com/view/serial/LAA) .

Dunstan joins David to discuss his research on the grotesque in the Roman World and how it compares to today. What was considered ugly in Roman society? Why were some scars respectable and others not? What is the 'uncanny valley'? Dunstan also chats about his other main area of study: the ancient world in video games. He reflects on being initially resistant to reception studies, but how a chat in the pub changed his mind and led him to explore this topic. How realistic do we want games set in the ancient world to be? How might they be incorporated into the curriculum? How do they create alternate histories? What is Dunstan's favourite beat-em up franchise? Also: whether children tend to follow in their parent's footsteps, where the word syphilis comes from, and more about how David loves Skyrim. Dunstan Lowe is Senior Lecturer in Latin Literature at the University of Kent.

Three guests for the price of one this week: Charlie Edwards, Alex Davis and Vicky Saward-Read, all of whom have just finished their UG degrees in Classics and Archaeology here at Kent.  They reflect on their time here at university and what a life-changing experience it’s been. Charlie discusses his time with Kent Raising and Giving Society, Alex talks about coming to higher education as a mature student and the opportunities it’s given her, and Vicky looks back on her time as head of the Kent Classics and Archaeological Society.  They give advice for any would-be students, chat about their plans for the future (including sticking around for MAs), and most importantly, how David would like to be stuffed and put on display in a museum one day. 

Rounding off the TRAC 2019 episodes, David is joined by Phil, who served as Head of the TRAC Local Organising Committee, to reflect on the conference and discuss Phil's PhD on Richborough Roman Fort. Phil gives advice for any would-be conference organisers, talks about why Brexit-late Roman Britain analogies don't work, piecing together early 20th century archaeology reports, his time excavating at Silchester, and the possibility of a NSFW spin-off 'Ale and Circuses'. Phil Smither is a PhD student at the University of Kent. You can find him at academia.edu :https://kent.academia.edu/PhilipSmither

Ada joins David to discuss her new book, Becoming a Woman and Mother in Greco-Roman Egypt. She chats about attitudes towards menstruation, marriage, and unwanted children, and the changes that occurred in these (or didn't) from Pharonic to Greco-Roman Egypt. Ada also reflects on how excavating at Fayum in Egypt led her to focus on this topic (despite the scorpions), the importance of interdisciplinary approaches, and how she was pleasantly surprised by the massive reaction when she set up the Facebook group 'Women in Antiquity'.

Professor Dan Lloyd is the Deputy Head of School of Biosciences at the University of Kent. We discuss his research into DNA damage, and how this relates to cancer and its treatment. We chat about targeted therapy in cancer research and how treatment can vary for different types of cancer. We explore the cultural and social issues that effect the diagnostic element in the treatment process and how some cancers fare better than others when it comes to funding and awareness raising campaigns. This is a fascinating conversation about science, creativity, values and ethics. Professor Dan explain some of the ethics related to studies in other scientific fields like mitochondrial donation, animal testing, medical marijuana and some of the social and ethical values surrounding this work. Professor Dan shares what he would like to see in the future when it comes to cancer research, including better diagnostics, increased targeted therapies and addressing the resistance to drugs that the sneaky cancer cells often build up. This is an inspirational interview with a man who is making a difference in the cancer research world. What an honour it was to interview him!

Matthijs joins David to talk about his work on Roman law, and how it gives us a window into life in the ancient world. Roman laws were issued to deal with problems that arose in people's everyday lives, but how were they communicated across the provinces? How do you stop 'fake' laws circulating? Where were they stored so people could access them? Matthijs also discusses his experiences at universities in the Netherlands, the US, Italy, and the UK, and why it wasn't until his PhD that he got serious about the history of the Roman Empire, rather than just concepts that surrounded it. Additionally, he explains why he thinks scholars need to start looking beyond the world of Greek and Latin to languages such as Syriac and Ethiopian. Matthijs Wibier is a lecturer in Ancient History at the University of Kent

Sophie joins David to discuss her PhD on women in Republican Rome, and how she wants to repopulate our image of this time with women from across the social spectrum who have often been marginalised - not just the aristocratic women, but also slaves and actresses (who could become famous in their own right!). She also talks about her experiences studying in France, Hungary, Italy and the UK, the writers who influence her work, and why she decided to focus on gender studies.  Sophie Chavarria is a PhD student at the University of Kent.

Capitalism vs. Socialism: Yaron Brook and Josh Holroyd in debate. Hosted by Ayn Rand Institute Global and UKC Liberty Union.It’s the biggest debate in politics: capitalism or socialism? Which system is the right answer to the problems facing the world today? Dr. Yaron Brook, Chairman of the Board of the Ayn Rand Institute, will argue that socialism is not only the wrong answer, but is morally reprehensible, and will explain why capitalism is a morally good system that creates free and flourishing societies. Josh Holroyd, writer for marxist.com and The Socialist Appeal, will argue that capitalism is a system that takes advantage of the working class for the benefit of a small minority and that socialism is the path to a freer, fairer society.This event was co-hosted by the Marxist Society at the University of Kent on February 7, 2019.Like what you hear?

Christopher makes the voyage down the corridor to talk to David about his new book on Cassius Dio, his own path into the world of Classics (and how this involved teaching himself Latin from a 1930s text book!), and he shares his thoughts on the importance of public engagement. There's more talk of gaming and ancient history, why hot-tubs are a great place to discuss ideas with colleagues, and Christopher comes up with a new slogan to sell the department. Christopher Burden-Strevens is a lecturer in Ancient History at the University of Kent. For Christopher's new edited volume on Dio, go to: https://brill.com/view/title/39300

Jan Montefiore joins David to discuss Rudyard Kipling's presentation of Roman World. Kipling wrote a number of stories set in Roman Britain, the most famous of which are the Parnesius stories collected in Puck of Pook's Hill, and was one of the most widely read British authors of the early 20th century. Jan and David talk about how Kipling's views on empires and race fed into his work, his depiction of late Roman Britain, and how he's influenced other authors, as well as debating the impact of 'Horrible Histories'... Jan Montefiore is Professor of 20th Century English Literature at the University of Kent, and editor of the _Kipling Journal_.

Ellen Swift talks about what got her into the Romans, what she originally went to university to study before switching to archaeology, and what effect her hobbies have on her research (or the other way around). We discuss her most recent project with the Petrie Museum, which involves looking at objects from Roman Egypt and recreating (/playing) ancient instruments, while we also ponder what effect a religious background can have on research choices, the benefits of experimental archaeology, and what our ancient Egyptian Beatles tribute band would be called.
