Lunch Hour Lectures - Autumn 2009 - Episode 8: The Power of Lagerlöf Celebrating the 100-year anniversary of Selma Lagerlöf – the first woman to win the Nobel Prize for Literature – 10 December. Swedish author Selma Lagerlöf (1858-1940) was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. Her novels inspired epoch-making early films, when she turned 80 she was one of the most widely translated Swedish authors ever, and her work continues to attract new readers today. This lecture gives a flavour of the range of her writing, looks at the explanations for her success and tests the findings of more text-focused scholarship.

Public Lecture by David Scott. Equalities & Inequalities in the English Education System
Professor David Scott talks about social categories such as gender, race, dis-ability, intelligence, sexuality and class, as they are used in English education system. Knowledge of and about them and their effects is central to how we can understand society, equalities and inequalities within it, and educational relations. He will draw on events, happenings and experiences to develop a more coherent account with the potential to transform our understandings of these matters and hence our educational practices. David's lecture is drawn from his book 'Equalities & Inequalities in the English Education System, published by UCL IOE Press, 2018.
