Subject: Equality & Diversity
I enjoyed listening to these two speakers. Each had a different story. Each worth a listen.
Negative: they didn’t record the Q&As.
Positive: it’s therefore very short!

Dyslexia at Oxford: 21 Conversations about Dyslexia
Subject: Equality & Diversity
This isn’t a lecture, but it’s in a similar genre. As the title says, it’s 21 conversations about dyslexia and it’s very well worth watching.
Things are going downhill fast: Understanding massive landslides by Professor Dave Petley
Subject: Geography
This lecture really highlights the devastation that landslides cause, and give a real depth of knowledge of different types of landslide. One downside: the videos don’t work. BUT you can look them up on YouTube. Sadly this means that it takes more effort than it should. But the landslides are horrifically fascinating.
Should the UK grow more food? Professor Tim Lang
Subject: Sustainability
This is a life changing lecture. Well, it got me back buying a veg box again. But it does make you think about what we eat, even if it sometimes leaves me more confused about what I should purchase. I love his holistic approach to sourcing food. And he is clearly so passionate about this subject.
This is a pre-COVID lecture, so I would love to hear his thoughts now. This is probably possible, but I haven’t followed this chain of thought further.
NB in the link below it’s the 2019 lecture.
