2012/08/01

Contributor(s): Professor Sandra Jovchelovitch | During the nineteenth and the twentieth century, rapid economic and social development concentrated ever greater numbers of the Brazilian population in cities. This urban expansion drew in thousands of workers from across the country, where - in the absence of sufficient infrastructure - they settled in shanty towns, or "favelas," on the steep hillsides around the city. Although justifiably associated with extreme poverty, and the problems of crime

Contributor(s): Christelle Rabier | In this short film, Wellcome Fellow Christelle Rabier of LSE's department of Economic History narrates the invention of medical illustration 1708-1820. Images courtesy and copyright of The Wellcome Library. In the eighteenth century, surgeons were rapidly developing new techniques for invasive surgery. But how to transmit this information? Only a very few students at a time would be able to watch a procedure, and even then, it wasn't clear what was happening amid

Amid the consequent information glut, effective presentation of data is more important than ever - even good research can't do any work if the right people can't

Arab Television and Arab Identity

LSE Research channel | Video ·

2011/03/22

Contributor(s): Myria Georgiou, Ramy Aly | Throughout the so-called War On Terror, trans-national Arab television stations such as AL Jazeera have supplied a valuable corrective to the perceived political bias of Western media. But that curiosity has been coupled with suspicion: was Al Jazeera supplying a useful Arab perspective, or seditious Muslim propaganda? Who was watching these stations, and what impact was Arab television having on its viewers' sense of cultural identity? Media & Citizenship

Contributor(s): Mitchel T. Keller | With widespread interest in tracing our family histories, what of our academic family tree - who taught our teachers? In 1997, mathematician Harry B. Coonce set out to trace his academic ancestry. His database now contains 150,000 names, stretching back to pre- Renaissance Europe. Current director of the Mathematics Genealogy project and LSE researcher Mitchel T. Keller explains how it all works, and what it means to be related to genius.

The Limits of Human Rights

2010/12/07

Contributor(s): Professor Chetan Bhatt | "Where do human rights come from? Are they universal across time and space, or do they, as Professor Chetan Bhatt asks, ""stop at the door of culture""? Should human rights organisations defend everyone, or have some persons forfeited their right to protection? When it was announced that Muslim cleric and prominent Al Qaeda spokesman Anwar al-Awlaki was to be the subject of a ""targeted killing"", a curious dilemma arose for human rights organisations

The Library in the Digital Age

2010/12/07

Contributor(s): Alan Bracey, Ed Fay, Sue Donnelly | As widespread digitisation of books triggers the most significant shift in reading habits since the Gutenberg press, what happens to the libraries? Will they become mere book museums, insulated storehouses to safe-keep books from physical decay? And when everything in print is digitized, why will we still need librarians?

Opportunities and Risks for Children Online

Contributor(s): Professor Sonia Livingstone | With 65 per cent of Europeans now online, what effect is this having on children? What type of material are children being exposed to through the internet? How do online risks compare to offline risks? In this short film, Professor Sonia Livingstone – head of LSE’s Department of Media and Communications – along with fellow researchers Dr Ellen Helsper and Dr Leslie Haddon, discuss the findings of their survey into the online habits of 23,420 children and

Raising the Quality of Qualitative Research

LSE Research channel | Video ·

2010/08/20

Contributor(s): Dr Kavita Abraham | Qualitative data can provide a researcher with a lot of interesting information , but trying to interpret what it means can lead to methodological problems. Unlike a list of numbers, the meaning of a text is not something everyone will necessarily agree on. It’s much easier for researcher bias to affect the interpretation, and it’s often difficult to explicitly demonstrate how conclusions have been reached. But what if you could train a machine to do the analysis

A Very Modern Action: The Spring Reprisals of 1917

LSE Research channel | Video ·

2010/08/10

Contributor(s): Dr Heather Jones | The prisoner reprisals of 1917 were a retaliatory action taken by German forces against captured French and British troops, in reaction to poor British and French treatment of German prisoner workers. This was a ruthless, calculated policy, intended to manipulate public opinion, as Heather Jones from the Department of International History explains. Prisoners held behind German lines during the 1917 reprisals were forced to work under shellfire on subsistence

Washington's revolving door

2010/07/15

Contributor(s): Mirko Draca | Lobbying is big business in US politics, and getting bigger. Many commentators have voiced suspicions about the ties between lobbying firms, private sector businesses, and politics. They allege that a "revolving door", which sees employees moving from public office to private companies and back again, potentially jeopardises the public interest. Often highly paid, these lobbyists claim their salaries simply reflect their high ability, but critics complain those exiting

The moral structure of legal systems - part 1:...

LSE Research channel | Video ·

2010/06/04

Contributor(s): Dr Kristen Rundle | Is law inherently moral or does Nazi law provide tragic proof that law has no intrinsic moral worth? For Positivists, such as H L A Hart, the systemic integrity of a legal code says nothing about its content – the law is simply whatever is put forward by lawgivers. In contrast natural lawyers, notably Lon Fuller, insist that the way law is expressed carries moral significance for those who are subject to it. In this film Dr Kristen Rundle, from the Department of

2010/06/04

Contributor(s): Dr Kristen Rundle | Typically, the legal codes of despotic states lack transparency (you aren’t told what the laws are), lack consistency (one law will contradict another, making it impossible to obey both), often endorse retroactivity (you’re guilty today for an act that wasn’t illegal when you did it), and permit unannounced changes to the law. For Dr Kristen Rundle, from the Department of Law, this isn’t just a case of poor legal housekeeping. In this short film she discusses how

The Mathematics of Machine Learning

2010/05/04

Contributor(s): Professor Martin Anthony | Diagnosing tumours, playing video games, detecting credit card fraud, recognising faces, reading handwriting… they don't seem like similar tasks, but they are all cases where "machine learning" is employed to enable computers to make intelligent decisions. And although the various tasks look very different, the mathematics behind them is remarkably similar, as Professor Martin Anthony explains in this short film. When computers fail to do something we find

A New Approach To Child Protection

LSE Research channel | Video ·

2010/04/15

Contributor(s): Professor Eileen Munro | Baby P, Victoria Climbié - the names have become symbolic of the failures of the child protection agencies. Professor Eileen Munro, a former social worker herself and now an expert on child protection reform, believes that more attention needs to be given to the system, rather than just the individuals, that allowed these tragedies to occur. In this short film, she explains that only allocating blame to individual social workers and managers can leave the
