The African elephant has attracted renewed interest recently because of the suggestion that there are actually two distinct species: the better-known savannah elephant of East and Southern Africa, and the less-studied, smaller, forest elephant of the Central and West African rainforests. This lecture will describe an expedition I led to Ghana, an area where the two forms may once have met, and the genetical and observational work that is being undertaken to resolve the issue. This leads to a discussion of the nature of ‘species’, and of the way in which seemingly academic taxonomic work can be ‘politicised’ by the needs of governmental and conservation organisations.

Tue, 17 Jun 2008 22:44:41 +0100 General On the Trail of African Elephants - Tue, 17 Jun 2008 22:44:41 +0100 Elephants are among the most visible of endangered species, and are one of the key ‘flagship’ species for conservation. The African elephant has attracted renewed interest recently because of the suggestion that there are actually two distinct species: the better-known savannah elephant of East and Southern Africa, and the less-studied, smaller, forest elephant of the Central and West African rainforests. This lecture will describe an expedition I led to Ghana, an area where the two forms may once have met, and the genetical and observational work that is being undertaken to resolve the issue. This leads to a discussion of the nature of ‘species’, and of the way in which seemingly academic taxonomic work can be ‘politicised’ by the needs of governmental and conservation organisations.

When directed at a prospective humanitarian aid volunteer, eager to embark on an overseas aid mission in the new millennium, the phrase leans increasingly towards the latter. The climate of relative safety enjoyed by humanitarian volunteers has disappeared, largely due to the radical restructuring of the world political scene in the last quarter of the 20th century. This talk will explain the background to these changes and discuss the implications for humanitarian assistance in the new millennium.

There are signs, however, that the Brazilian economy is finally achieving the stability necessary for it to fulfil its potential. What is particularly intriguing is that this has happened under the leadership of Lula, the former print-worker, union leader and founder of the innovative Workers’ Party, who is now in his second term as elected president of Brazil.

What remains to be discovered is how he is or has been corrupt, in favour of whom, and why. It is this thesis that dominates most discussions of Italian football. In Italy, there is the strong conviction that the state, its rules and regulations are flexible entities, besmirched with corruption and therefore ready to be flouted and challenged. This conviction has a strong historical basis. In Italy, as the writer and football critic Giovanni Arpino put it, “those who hold power, even for 90 minutes, are never looked upon in a good light”.

This lecture is a glimpse into the fascinating world of prosopagnosia, or ‘face blindness’, and the challenges it poses to people living with the condition – and those close to them. While brain damage is known to cause prosopagnosia, recent discoveries show that it can also come about if people fail to develop the necessary neural processes. These individuals have never suffered any damage to their brain and astonishingly some of them have no problem recognising objects. Now consider what it is like when this condition runs in families and what is actually going on in the brain to bring about this remarkable condition.
