SUMMARY:Elinor Cleghorn A WOMAN'S WORK
DESCRIPTION:A Woman’s Work is a radical and inspiring new history of mothering\, and a timely reminder that the fight for reproductive freedom isn’t over \n\n\n\n\nA Woman’s Work \nMothers make history. For centuries\, motherhood has sparked social and political change. Yet the acts of growing\, birthing and nurturing children – and the power they hold – have been pushed to the margins\, overlooked in our narratives of the past. \nIn A Woman’s Work\, Elinor Cleghorn reveals the mothers\, othermothers\, midwives\, activists\, and community leaders who have shaped this extraordinary history. They include Hildegard of Bingen\, the medieval nun and mystic with pioneering views about the maternal body; Mary Wollstonecraft\, who laid the intellectual groundwork to release motherhood from male control; and Sojourner Truth\, who drew attention to the abhorrent treatment of mothers under chattel slavery. \nBeginning in the ancient world\, we learn how in each era\, the patriarchy constructed its own idealised notion of motherhood – from the misogynistic dogma of the early church and the stigmatisation of single mothers in 17th century England all the way through to the post-war myth of the perfectly contented housewife. But we also learn how mothers of all classes and circumstances fought back\, and lobbied to be valued\, respected and supported – not as reproductive vessels\, but as people. \nElinor Cleghorn \nDr Elinor Cleghorn has a background in feminist visual culture and history\, and her critical writing has been published in several academic journals including Screen. After receiving her PhD in 2012\, Elinor spent three years as a post-doctoral researcher at the Ruskin School\, University of Oxford\, working on an interdisciplinary medical humanities project. She has given talks and lectures at the British Film Institute\, where she has been a regular contributor to their education programme\, Tate Modern\, and ICA London\, and she has appeared on the BBC Radio 4 discussion show The Forum. In 2017\, she was shortlisted for the Fitzcarraldo Editions essay prize. She now works as a freelance writer and researcher. Her non-fiction debut\, Unwell Women\, was published in June 2021.

SUMMARY:Katja Hoyer WEIMAR
DESCRIPTION:From bestselling historian Katja Hoyer comes a gripping story of life during the rise and reign of Hitler and the people of Weimar. \n\n\n\n\nWeimar : Life on the Edge of Catastrophe \nWeimar looms large in German history: a crucible of democracy and dictatorship. This ancient town nestled in the heart of the country was home to some of Europe’s greatest thinkers\, Goethe and Schiller\, Liszt and Nietzsche among them. It gave its name to the ambitious Weimar Republic crafted in the aftermath of the First World War. But it was also where fascism took hold. Where Bauhaus architects first experimented with new ways of living\, Buchenwald was dug out of a beech forest. \nWeimar shows us a town and its people on the edge of catastrophe. Drawing on a wealth of new archival research\, acclaimed historian Katja Hoyer takes us from 1919 to 1939 as she tells the stories of the men and women who lived through the new republic and Hitler’s regime. We encounter a vividly drawn cast of characters\, from bookbinder Carl Weirich and hotel owners Rosa and Arthur Schmidt\, to Friedrich Nietzsche’s sister Elisabeth. Here are fascists and socialists\, artists and workers\, politicians and citizens\, who\, as the events of history swept them up\, became witnesses\, perpetrators\, victims and bystanders. \nAn unforgettable picture of lives and choices in extraordinary circumstances\, Weimar takes us deep into the heart of the storm – to the town that dreamt of a better world\, and woke up to tyranny. \nKatja Hoyer \nKatja Hoyer is a German-British historian and journalist. She is a Visiting Research Fellow at King’s College London and a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. Her debut book Blood and Iron was well received by academics and critics. Her second book Beyond the Wall was a Sunday Times bestseller and long-listed for the prestigious Baillie Gifford Prize. \nKatja is currently a columnist for the Berliner Zeitung. She is a regular contributor to Bloomberg\, The Spectator\, The Daily Telegraph and UnHerd and has also worked as a columnist for The Washington Post. She occasionally writes for a range of other newspapers such as The Financial Times\, The Times\, The Guardian and Die Welt on current political affairs in Germany and Europe as well as history and books.

SUMMARY:WHITE MOSS A Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion on our recent book of the month\, White Moss\, with Irina Sadovina (translator) Tamar Koplatadze and Oliver Ready \n\n\n\n\nWhite Moss \nProviding rare\, direct insight into the beauties and struggles of the Indigenous reindeer-herding Nenets community of the Russian north\, White Moss tells a piercingly moving coming-of-age story of the conflict between individual dreams and collective life. \nOn the eve of his wedding\, young Alyoshka pines for an earlier love. Ilne chose to leave the nomadic Nenets community behind 7 years before\, moving to the city and taking his heart with her. As the seasons have passed and his mother has grown older\, Alyoshka has been under increasing pressure to marry and fully embrace the Nenets’ age-old customs of home and family. Unwilling to give up his hope for another life\, the young man struggles against everything he has been taught to accept\, while other painful transitions shake the stability of the small camp and minor human tragedies play out against the cold expanse of the tundra. \nWith bursts of lyricism and a Chekhovian eye for human frailty\, Anna Nerkagi crafts a multi-voiced drama of tradition and change within her Indigenous community. \nIrina Sadovina \nIrina Sadovina translates literature from Russian and Mari. Her translations and writing appeared in publications like Prototype\, Meniscus\, Calvert Journal\, and ellipse. She received the 2021 Australasian Association of Writing Programs Translation Prize and was a 2021-2022 National Centre for Writing Emerging Translator Mentee. \nTamar Koplatadze \nDr Koplatadze is one of the first proponents and leading theorists of Post-Soviet Postcolonial Studies. Her specialism covers the literature and culture of Russia\, the Caucasus and Central Asia from the 19th century to the present day. \nDr Koplatadze’s monograph Postcolonial Identities in Central Asian and Caucasian Literature (OUP) is the first book to examine post-Soviet literature from the Caucasus and Central Asia\, and to employ postcolonial methodology for this enquiry. Her current book project\, Post-Soviet Ecopoetics\, is the first comparative study of post-Soviet ecocritical literature and film\, including from Siberia\, the Caucasus and Central Asia. \nOliver Ready \nDr Oliver Ready is a Stipendiary Lecturer in Russian specialising in recent and nineteenth-century literature.

SUMMARY:Turi Munthe WHY WE THINK WHAT WE THINK with Nigel Warburton
DESCRIPTION:This eye-opening book takes us through biology\, geography\, history\, psychology and much more to uncover the hidden DNA of our opinions. \n\n\n\n\nWhy We Think What We Think \nWithout knowing it\, almost all our opinions – whether we believe in God or in ghosts\, our views on sex or animal rights or immigration\, our basic sense of what’s right – are shaped by an astounding web of hidden forces. The age-old idea that our views are forged by reason and evidence alone is wrong: we are influenced by everything from the quirks of distant history\, through the lines of our genetic code\, to the geology of where we grew up. \nThis eye-opening book takes us through culture\, biology\, geography\, history\, psychology and much more to uncover the hidden DNA of our opinions. \nPacked with surprising stories and counterintuitive discoveries\, Why We Think What We Think does more than reveal how our beliefs are formed. By showing where our beliefs really come from\, it invites us to step outside our own assumptions – and learn how to think more clearly\, and more generously\, about the world we all share. \nTuri Munthe \nTuri Munthe is a journalist and policy analyst turned media entrepreneur\, who has written for theEconomist\, theGuardian and the TLS and appeared on the BBC\, CNN and Fox News. He founded Demotix\, the largest network of photojournalists in the world\, and Parlia\, an encyclopaedia of opinion.

SUMMARY:Charles Foster THE EDGES OF THE WORLD with Dan Kieran
DESCRIPTION:Writer\, traveller\, veterinarian\, taxidermist\, barrister and philosopher Charles Foster joins us talk about his latest book. \n\n\n\n\nThe Edges of the World \nWe tend to think that everything important comes from the centre: from big cities\, from established orthodoxies in the sciences and the arts\, from the Establishment in all its forms. We think this because the centre tells us it is so\, but it’s a lie. It is only at the edges that we think\, innovate and thrive. \nThis book travels to the frontiers of human culture and consciousness; to the edges of continents\, of evolution\, of artistic and political movements\, and life itself: from a rocky precipice in the Peloponnese where the first human set foot in Europe to an ancient Egyptian temple where monotheism was invented; from St Francis\, kissing lepers to the giant bird-eating mice of St Kilda. \nWhy do we stare at sunsets? Why do we celebrate birthdays and grieve for those who are gone? Why do all adventures begin when we leave and get lost? Who has the better view of reality – the Government or the dispossessed? \nAnd what happens when we live with the knowledge that we’re all teetering on the edge of the dark? \nCharles Foster \nCharles Foster is aNew York Times bestselling author whose work has been longlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize\, shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize for nature writing\, and won the Ig Nobel Prize for Biology and the 30 Millions d’Amis Prize. He is a fellow of Exeter College\, University of Oxford\, and has particular passions for Greece\, waves\, the Upper Palaeolithic\, mountains and swifts. \nDan Kieran \nDan is the author and editor of fourteen books\, including the Sunday Times bestseller Crap Towns (the first viral internet phenomenon to turn into a bestselling book)\, The Idle Traveller (the bestselling Slow Travel: Die Kunst des Reisens in Germany)\, Three Men in a Float (the story of his journey across England in a 1957 electric milk float also recorded for BBC Radio 4) and Do Start: How to create and run a business (that doesn’t run you). A travel writer for the Guardian\, The Times and the Telegraph\, he has given talks on a range of subjects including publishing\, creative writing\, fundraising\, entrepreneurship and how to have ideas for places like The Idler\, The Do Lectures and The European Parliament.

SUMMARY:Helene Von Bismarck FANTASTIC KINGDOM with Ciaran Martin
DESCRIPTION:German historian Helene von Bismarck offers an affectionate and insightful portrait of the United Kingdom as seen by an outsider. \n\n\n\n\nFantastic Kingdom \nGlobal yet insular\, tolerant yet suspicious\, proudly pragmatic yet profoundly sentimental. The United Kingdom inspires fierce loyalty and endless argument. Ten years after Brexit\, it is as divided as ever. \nAfter twenty years of studying Britain\, German historian Helene von Bismarck offers an affectionate and insightful portrait of the United Kingdom as seen by an outsider. From the enduring fantasy of Britain as a self-sufficient island to the profound devotion to a global monarchy; from imperial amnesia to modern multiculturalism\, she explores the paradoxes and myths that shape British identity. \nClear-eyed and witty\, Fantastic Kingdom is a letter from a friend\, revealing why the question of what unites the country has never mattered more than now\, at a time of dramatic geopolitical change when liberal democracy is under attack. Looking backwards into history\, and outwards into the global context\, she closes the gap between how Britain understands itself and how it is seen abroad. \nHelene Von Bismarck \nHelene von Bismarck is a historian\, author and political commentator. Her main interest is Britain’s role in international relations during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Helene’s fascination with the past motivates her dedication to the present. She has published numerous essays providing historical context to current affairs\, addressed academic and non-academic audiences around the world\, and acted as a commentator on radio and television. Helene is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society\, as well as a Senior Associate Fellow at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI). \nCiaran Martin \nCiaran Martin is Professor of Practice in the Management of Public Organisations. Prior to joining the School\, Ciaran was the founding Chief Executive of the National Cyber Security Centre\, part of GCHQ. In September 2020 he was appointed Professor of Practice in the Management of Public Organisations at the Blavatnik School of Government\, University of Oxford.
