About the series

Season 1, Bentham’s Defence of Sexual Liberty – The Greatest Good, is available to listen to now. Jeremy Bentham’s influence can be felt all across UCL, but the impact of his radical progressivism can be felt worldwide. In this season, join renowned academics in conversation about Romanticism, queer histories and much more, as they discuss how ideas that were once considered radical now shape the world we live in.

Season 2, Beautiful Minds – The Greatest Good, has started now. The question ‘How much do we understand the human mind?’ is at the heart of this new season. Uncover facts about the mind as our expert speakers challenge misconceptions of autism, clear up common myths about Tourette’s Syndrome and propose strategies for making our society more inclusive.
