Starting university is one of the biggest transitions many people will ever make and whilst there’s no shortage of advice out there, much of it caters towards a single ‘type’ of student experience that doesn’t reflect everyone’s reality. In this series, we explore how the transition to university can look very different depending on who you are, where you come from, and what you’re carrying with you, and what can be done to provide more meaningful support.

Presented by writer, broadcaster and UCL alumna Vivienne Parry OBE, each episode looked at the coronavirus outbreak through different lenses, covering history, psychology, social sciences, arts, engineering, economics, law, and politics.

The Institute for Global Prosperity's ERC Project Takhayyul is carried out in eleven different countries in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and South Asia, often included in the concept of the Global South, where people are more vulnerable to global changes and crises - as we have seen in the flood catastrophe in Pakistan. Many members of our team are scholars who have expertise in the geographies they grew up in. This series has been emerged due to the pressing issues that have been taking place in the contexts we work on and care about. The urgent need to create a platform where we can address the emergent issues as they happen, to channel our intellectual and academic expertise, combined with the deep care to the events taking place has prompted this podcast series.

Artificial Intelligence is hurtling us into an unknown future. Will it pollute our infosphere, reinforce biases, or even be an existential risk? Or will AI help us solve the energy crisis, revolutionise healthcare and even eliminate the need for work? Perhaps all of these? On Steering AI, we talk to leading academic experts at the cutting-edge of this increasingly powerful and pervasive technology, hearing their views on the benefits and how to steer around the risks. The first step to mitigate a threat is to understand it. Technological progress is hard to predict, but no one doubts AI will have an enormous impact on our lives. Brainstorming with the experts, we seek to understand the problems we’re already facing, and what might be coming our way.

How life gets under our skin and our physical and mental health interact with our social and economic circumstances and environment.

Body Stones and Other Bodies is a series of conversations led by artist alfonso borragán with artist Sarah Bayliss. These discussions explore the strange gems generated inside our bodies: kidney stones, bladder stones, gallstones, rhinoliths, pancreatic stones, and sialoliths. The stones, sedimented within us, defy conventional definitions. Neither stone nor tissue, they exist in a state of in-between. These ambiguous entities, currently housed in the UCL Pathology Museum, represent the "other body"—the otherness of our matter, and maybe a possible material form of Spinoza's trans-individual.
