		<title>East Prussia: on Europes edge</title>
		<itunes:author>Max Egremont</itunes:author>
		<itunes:subtitle>Acclaimed novelist and biographer</itunes:subtitle>
		<itunes:summary>No country embodied the turbulence of twentieth century Europe more than East Prussia, once Germany's most eastern redoubt and now divided between Poland and Russia. A land of apparent contradictions, it produced astonishing intellectual achievement, raw militarism and anxiety, cruelty and suffering, tolerance and extremism, domineering red brick castles left by the Teutonic knights and neat villages and productive farming and a symbolic identity as a beleaguered bastion of western European civilisation. Max Egremont's most recent book is Forgotten Land - Journeys among the Ghosts of East Prussia. His lecture will tell of a frequently troubled and now mythical place.

		<title>The linked conundrum of nuclear weapons and nuclear power</title>
		<itunes:author>Professor John MacGregor CVO</itunes:author>
		<itunes:subtitle>Formerly British Ambassador in Warsaw and Vienna and UK Representative to the International Atomic Energy Agency</itunes:subtitle>
		<itunes:summary>John will look, in layman’s terms, at how modern nuclear reactors work, the prospects for a new generation of nuclear power stations, in Britain and worldwide, and how, if they are built, to make them as safe and secure as possible. Where are the catches in this ‘clean’ power generation, and how can the potential link of parts of the nuclear fuel cycle to the production of nuclear weapons be internationally policed and controlled. Why has the spread of nuclear power generation not led to the wider spread of nuclear weapons predicted in the 1960s?  To a remarkable degree, so called ‘non proliferation’ has worked to date,  but will the Non Proliferation Treaty be fit for purpose in the 21st Century, and what are the key indicators to look for to judge its success or failure?

		<itunes:author>Andrew Higson</itunes:author>
		<itunes:subtitle>Greg Dyke Professor of Film and TV, University of York</itunes:subtitle>
		<itunes:summary>Running through much of Professor Andrew Higson’s work is a concern for questions of national cinema; his article ‘The concept of national cinema’, first published in Screen in 1989, has proved very influential and has been translated and/or reprinted several times.

He is working on a history of Anglia Television, the ITV company for the East of England. He is completing a book on British cinema in the 1990s and 2000s, provisionally entitled Film England, 1990-2008: (Trans)National Cinema, English Literature and Narratives of the Past and Present some of which forms the basis for the Nick Burton Memorial Lecture 2011.

		<itunes:summary>This lecture looks at why decisions are taken about sending particular works of art abroad, and what they say about us, and about those who receive them.  Examples include: David Hockney, sent to Mexico the year after homosexuality was decriminalised in Britain; works by Mona Hatoum, sent to Iran during the Islamic Revolution; and works by Antony Gormley, which we chose not to send to Bosnia despite the artist’s entreaties during the Balkan wars.  Other parts of the world, as varied as Saudi Arabia, the US, and Northern Ireland, are also considered in this lecture, and how our perspectives shift when seen from very different angles.</itunes:summary>

		<title>The next stages of welfare reform</title>
		<itunes:author>Frank Field, MP</itunes:author>
		<itunes:subtitle>MP for Birkenhead and Chair of the Independent Review on Poverty and Life Chances</itunes:subtitle>
		<itunes:summary>Frank Field’s entire career has been concerned with improving the lives of those worst off in society, initially as Director of the Child Poverty Action Group, and for the last thirty years as MP for Birkenhead. The new Coalition Government has now asked him to lead an independent review on poverty and life chances. The Review will look at how we measure poverty in Britain today - whether low income alone constitutes poverty, and if not what are the other aspects of poverty, and how they are measured - what the key determinants of good life chances are - taking account of the importance of a child's development before attending school and how good influences at this stage of a child's life can best be embedded in society.

		<title>Why are systematic reviews of research on the effects of policies and practices so important?</title>
		<itunes:author>Sir Iain Chalmers</itunes:author>
		<itunes:subtitle>Coordinator, James Lind Initiative and Editor, James Lind Library</itunes:subtitle>
		<itunes:summary>Acting with the best of intentions, professionals sometimes do more harm than good when they intervene in the lives of other people. Decisions to use or withhold interventions in health care, social care and education should take account of findings in systematic reviews of relevant and reliable research evidence. Continued failure to do this will result in continued avoidable suffering and death, and waste of resources.</itunes:summary>

		<itunes:summary>The event is part of the 2009 celebrations of the 150th anniversary of the publication of Darwin's 'Origin of Species' and his 200th birthday. The lecture will focus on Darwin, Darwinism and butterflies (Darwin, himself, did not say or do much with butterflies, although what he did say was very interesting). The lecture will touch on Henry Walter Bates on mimicry (a key debate in history of Darwinism), and Alfred Russel Wallace versus Darwin on sexual selection; two examples of where Darwinian 'transference' (proposed by Darwin for birds) appears to have affected butterfly evolution (one, Papilio dardanus, in concert with Batesian mimicry, the other, Appias nero, not). The lecture will conclude with an assessment of the role of behaviour versus genes in evolution.</itunes:summary>
