Disaster diplomacy: does catastrophe end conflict? Dr Ilan Kelman UCL Institute for Risk & Disaster Reduction and UCL Institute for Global Health
Disasters frequently strike countries with violent or political conflicts. Do calamities bring people together to achieve humanitarian imperatives? Or does crisis create tension that drives people apart? From Nepal’s earthquake to the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and pandemics, join Dr Ilan Kelman as he explores disaster diplomacy possibilities. Thur 15 Oct 15
Lunch Hour Lectures
Hearts, minds and environment
Human rights vs. British rights
Professor Susan Michie UCL Health Psychology Research Group
Professor Philippe Sands UCL Laws
The value in life of health and wellbeing, environmental sustainability and social cohesion depends on how people behave, and to improve in these areas requires significant change. However, developing policies and interventions to promote and support behaviour change is often hit-and-miss. This lecture considers why this is and how we can do better.
The Conservative government has committed to scrapping the Human Rights Act and replacing it with a British Bill of Rights. Having served on the previous government’s commission on a bill of rights, and seen inklings of what lies in store, Professor Philippe Sands addresses the true purposes of the ‘reformers’ and their prospects of success.

Human evolution gets bushier
Love and war, the mathematical way
Professor Fred Spoor UCL Cell and Developmental Biology
Dr Hannah Fry UCL Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis
Human evolution has traditionally been seen as a linear succession of ancestors from the primitive Australopithecus species to our own, Homo sapiens. This lecture reviews evidence that multiple species coexisted throughout our evolutionary past, demonstrating that the present, with just a sole human species, is an exception rather than the norm.
You’d be forgiven for thinking that mathematics doesn’t sit naturally in a sentence alongside either love or war. However, mathematics is uniquely placed to describe the hidden patterns of human behaviour. Join Dr Hannah Fry as she demonstrates the potential of mathematics to understand the most talked about subjects in our history.
