Hug by Jez Alborough-Read Aloud
In this brief video, Jez Alborough's book Hug is read aloud. This wonderfully drawn tail tells the story of a little monkey looking for one simple thing -- a hug. How can it be that a book with only one word-hug-repeated throughout, can be so good? This book shows a baby chimpanzee on the hunt for his mum and a cuddle. Our little friend wanders through
American Experience: The Panama Canal
On August 15, 1914, the Panama Canal opened connecting the world's two largest oceans and signaling America's emergence as a global superpower. The story of the canal features a delightful cast of colorful characters ranging from an indomitable President to visionary engineers to tens of thousands of workers from around the world, rigidly segregated by race.

La Cité de Dieu, après-demain ? (video)
Quand Rome est mise à sac le 24 août 410, des voix se lèvent s’interrogeant sur les raisons d’un tel désastre et sur le devenir de Rome. Demain qu’adviendra t-il de la Roma aeterna ? Déconcerté par ce pillage et soucieux d’éclairer les jugements, Saint Augustin décide alors de mener à bien son projet déjà ancien de composer une fresque théologique.
Il compose ainsi La cité de Dieu, œuvre qui oppose la cité terrestre et la cité céleste et qui
La prochaine éthique biomédicale (video)
Sujet de controverse depuis des années, la bioéthique soulève encore aujourd’hui de nombreuses interrogations : faut-il immanquablement se conformer aux lois bioéthiques? Peut-on faire abstraction des revendications individuelles ? Est-il toujours possible de trouver des arguments éthiques fondateurs pour dire non ?
Pour Véronique Fournier la pratique du terrain, rendue effective avec l’ouverture du Centre Ethique de l’Hôpital Cochin, peut apporter des éléments de r
L'ancien et le nouvel eugénisme : les leçons de l'Histoire (audio)
Très longtemps associé au nazisme, l’eugénisme est encore aujourd’hui un sujet polémique voire tabou. Science des biens nés et des bons gênes, il désigne une sélection de la race humaine afin d’assurer le développement et la prédominance des êtres jugés supérieurs.

Islam d’Extrême Orient - Andrée Feillard (audio)
Les communautés musulmanes d’Extrême-Orient, qui totalisent plus de 232 millions d’individus au sein de onze pays, ont parfois reçu une moindre attention, leur pratique de l’islam étant considérée comme syncrétique, voire « abâtardie ». Ce préjugé est sans doute dû à leur éloignement géographique des lieux saints de l’islam, mais aussi à l’hétérogénéité de leurs coutumes : l’Indonésie à elle seule compte entre 650 et 700 langues locales, un pays où pourt

In this episode of the 'Why Study' series, Dr.Simon Oliver discusses why he devotes so much attention to the medieval Dominican theologian, Thomas Aquinas (1225-74); and argues that when someone today comes to grips with his thought, that learning experience trains one to think theologically.
