Contributor(s): Professor Sarah Banet-Weiser, Professor Angela McRobbie | In this event Sarah Banet-Weiser will theorize “mirror worlds” as an apt metaphor for the contemporary political and cultural feminist landscape.

Contributor(s): | Is artificial intelligence the solution to the National Health Service? Can we use technology to help reduce wait times in Accident and Emergency (A&E) departments at hospitals in the UK? As the NHS celebrates its 76th anniversary, we talk to Dr Laura Gilbert who tells us about how AI can help with simple processes that can give time back to NHS workers.

Contributor(s): Professor Paul Dolan | Join us for this talk by LSE's Paul Dolan in which he will talk about his new book, Beliefism. Do you avoid people who are strongly against immigration? Or strongly for trans rights? Against abortion? For drug legalisation?
