How we map thoughts into words in different languages - Department of Education lecture
Monday

July
2015
To English speakers, the distinctions between "blue" and "green" or "hand" and "arm" seem obvious. Of course these things exist independently of language; and language merely captures these pre-existing categories. But looking at languages other than English shows these categories are not as obvious as they first appear. Across diverse domains from the perception of colours and smells to acts of cutting and breaking, we find considerable diversity in how languages divide up the world into words. This diversity has important implications for language learning and teaching. But more importantly this diversity serves as a fundamental lesson for us in how we understand ourselves as humans and how vast the potential is for human thought.

Britain's Social Mobility Problem: Why is it so low and what can we do about it?
Thursday

March
2015
Why is it that a talented child from a poorer background is less likely in Britain to climb the social ladder? Low social mobility and lack of educational opportunity is arguably the biggest social challenge of our times. A recent study by the Trust found that almost one third of likely new MPs following the General Election will be from private schools that make up just 7% of all schools.
