An Africanist's Legacy: Discussion - Performing fragmentary moves
Attendees of 'An Africanist's Legacy - A Workship in Celebration of the Work of David Parkin', held at Oxford, 8-9 July 2010, discuss Asst Prof Zulfikar Hirji's paper on the life-history of a Muslim dancer-choreographer. Chaired by Dr Neveu.
Lecture 7: Engineers at War
Lieutenant Colonel (Retd) Christopher Pugsley on "Engineers at War". Many of the most prominent man-made historical features in the landscape are the work of military engineers. Hadrian's Wall, Windsor Castle, the coastal fortifications, even the Albert Hall, all testify to the skills of the military engineer. Military engineers throughout history have always had to marry theory and genius to the practical skills of making the concept work in crisis on the ground; no small accomplishment.

Delaware County Courthouse
The contrast of the old and the new, very much a feature of the community, is seen in this view of the statues saved from the 1887 courthouse, which now stand across the street from the modern building. The statues now occupy ground on which at least two older buildings stood, both having disappeared.,Delaware County Journey
Lecture 8: An Early Structural Engineering Problem: the Oxford Connection
Professor Guy Houlsby on "An Early Structural Engineering Problem: the Oxford Connection". The lecture followed the history of a structure often known as a "Serlio Frame" from its earliest mention (around 1270) to modern times. The structure is an intriguing "reciprocal frame" that is able to span a space with beams that are all shorter than the span required. The rare examples of construction of the frame were discussed (including one in Oxford).

Chris Higson, Associate Professor of Accounting discusses how despite their revenues tumbling and prices falling, Apple survived the recession of the early 1990s because they were a fat organisation with a strong balance sheet
This unit is intended to be of interest not only to people living in Scotland but to anyone wishing to know more about Scottish society and culture. It brings together a collection of free educational resources relevant to Scotland. The resources within this unit cover a wide range of subject areas, including education, environment, technology, history, law, literature, politics, social care and social sciences.
Senior photographer Brian Boyle provides a brief history of photography at the ROM, and describes the process and technology used to create digital images today.
