2014 David Nicholls Memorial Lecture, given by Professor John Milbank, University of Nottingham

A panel discussion hosted by Kellogg College on Friday 29th November 2013. The panellists discuss the global governance of migration, migrant rights and development. The regulation of international migration and migrant rights are among the most contested public policy issues around the world. In 2013-14 a series of high-level policy meetings (including the High-Level Dialogue on Migration and Development in New York, and the Global Forum on Migration and Development in Stockholm) will debate the global governance of migration, migrant rights and development. Do we need more global governance of international migration? If so, why and what should it aim to achieve? How, if at all, should international migration be integrated in the post-2015 development agenda?

Dr Kevon Rhiney, Commonwealth Fellow and lecturer (Department of Geography and Geology, University of the West Indies) considers contemporary social and economic development in Jamaica, in the light of environmental vulnerability and climate change. This series of podcasts explores the contemporary Caribbean today, addressing the region's role as a crucible of modernity from pre-Columbian times, through the eras of mercantilism, slavery and colonialism to today's position of at once both globalised and insular societies, facing new economic and environmental challenges. The set of 15-minute discussions draw on the specialist knowledge of social scientists, diplomats and historians to place the Caribbean, and similar postcolonial societies, in the context of current local and global transition.

Did Medieval people go on learning through their adult life? If so, what kind of things did they learn about, who taught them, and how was it done? This lecture was delivered 23rd May 2013 as part of national Adult Learners' Week.

The presentations focus on the importance of disappearance as much as appearance, presence as well as absence, and growth in the guise of degeneration, arguing from difference perspectives for the importance of malaise or corrosion as a subject of study.

Dr Martin Ruhs introduces the Department's expanding portfolio of economics courses, in the context of the on-going debate about where economics is headed, starting with the world economic downturn. What were the causes of the global financial crisis and why did most economists fail to predict it? How should we regulate the global flows of capital, labour and commodities? Who are the "new economic powers" and how will they shape the world economy? How can social entrepreneurship affect economic and social processes in the 21st century? This presentation will introduce the expanding portfolio of economics courses at CONTED. Dr Martin Ruhs is a University Lecturer in Political Economy, and economist Professor Jonathan Michie is Director of the Department for Continuing Education.

Dr Elizabeth Gemmill introduces the most remarkable monarch, Henry II, whose dominions stretched from the south west of France to the north of Britain. His achievements have lasted until our own times, but his reign was marred by tragedy too. Henry II's dominions stretched from the south west of France to the north of Britain. His achievements (and his reputation) have lasted until our own times, but his reign was marred by tragedy too. In this taster session Dr Elizabeth Gemmill introduces this most remarkable monarch and the twelfth-century world that was his stage.

Dr Tara Stubbs uses exciting new research findings to discuss the close links between Yeats's attendances at the Ghost Club during the 1910s-1920s, his (sometimes amusing) spiritualist experiments, and his poetic works. The London-based Ghost Club was an esoteric society with many high-profile members. My talk will use exciting new research findings to discuss the close links between Yeats's attendances at the Ghost Club during the 1910s-1920s, his (sometimes amusing) spiritualist experiments, and his poetic works.

Dr Claire O'Mahony looks at the inspiration of the modern city of light from Impressionist painters to the glamour of Art Deco.

The 25 years up to the 2007-8 global credit crunch were ones of privatisation, deregulation, financialisation and, in the UK, demutualisation. Professor Jonathan Michie will discuss the causes and consequences of the global credit crunch. The 25 years up to the 2007-8 global credit crunch were ones of privatisation, deregulation, financialisation and, in the UK, demutualisation. Many claimed that we had entered a new era of prosperity, with the end of 'boom and bust'. Others argued that the form that globalisation was not inevitable, and that the increasing inequality was a policy choice that could and should be resisted. This talk will discuss the causes and consequences of the global credit crunch. Economist Professor Jonathan Michie is Director of the Department for Continuing Education and President of Kellogg College. He specialises in mutuals and employee-owned companies and globalisation.

The Cambrian Explosion is one of the most spectacular episodes in Earth history, with the first traces of animals appearing in the fossil record at around 550 million years, and most modern major groups (phyla and classes) present by 510 Ma. The event occurs after a long period, around one billion years, of limited evolutionary innovation, and immediately postdates the Snowball Earth event - a period of major climate perturbation when ice caps extended from the poles to the palaeo-equator. Furthermore, there are very few phyla and classes that evolve after this time interval. The coincidence of timing has proved irresistible for those in search of a causal mechanism for the origin of animals, and the deglaciation and return to equable climates has been hypothesised as a trigger for this major evolutionary innovation. Recent work in northern Greenland has shed light both on the nature of the Snowball Earth event and on the environmental conditions in which the major period of evolutionary diversification occurred. The Sirius Passet fossil locality on the northern tip of Greenland is the oldest of the global Cambrian localities with exceptional fossil preservation and offers new insights to the early evolutionary history of major animal groups, including the deuterostomes, a group that includes acorn worms, starfish and vertebrates.
