    The first CHRISTMAS LECTURE was delivered in December 1825 by the Royal Institution’s Professor of Mechanics, John Millington. Two years later Michael Faraday gave his first of nineteen series of lectures, culminating with his 1860/61 series ‘The Chemical History of a Candle’ which produced perhaps the most popular science book ever published. As the Royal Institution’s flagship lecture series it was an obvious candidate for broadcasting by the BBC’s fledging television service in 1936. In the post-1945 period several lectures were televised, but it was not until the 1966/7 series that they started being broadcast annually. These two talks (see the other here: illustrated by clips, experiments and perhaps the odd explosion, consider the development, content and impact of these lectures.

    Frank James, Professor of the History of Science at the Royal Institution, has edited the complete extant correspondence of Michael Faraday and is currently working on the background to Humphry Davy’s career.

    Judaism and Early Christianity Dr. Henry Abramson

    28:34

    Born in turbulent times, Christianity emerged from its intensely Jewish roots to become the official religion of the Roman Empire within a remarkably brief period of time. As a daughter religion to Judaism, however, dissent between the two faiths slowly dominated the discourse as Christianity became less of a Jewish movement, and more of a choice favored by gentiles throughout the Empire.

    Taken from Wilfried Stroh’s Lecture Series

    Listening to Professor Stroh not only gets your Latin cogs churning at full speed, but it also gives you an idea of what a totally fluent Latin lecturer (without recourse to reading) sounds like.

    Rewriting Korean History -- Royal Asiatic Society Korea Lecture

    1:11:33

    For upcoming lectures, please visit

    Royal Asiatic Society Lecture:
    Rewriting Korean History by Professor In-ho Lee
    2006.11.14, Filmed by Korea.com

    In this 2006 lecture, which looks at Korean history from the late nineteenth century to the present, Dr. In-ho Lee discusses the attempts by leftist historians to re-write Korean history from their point of view, one in which the U.S. is to blame for Korea's post-liberation trials. She places much blame for this on the anti-communist education of the Park Chung-hee government and its refusal to intellectually engage with communism, which she argues made a generation of young people susceptible to romanticized views of North Korea and communism.

    Born and raised in Korea, Professor In-ho Lee received a B.A. in history from Wellesley, an A.M. in Soviet Union Regional Studies from Radcliffe, and a Ph.D. in history from Harvard. She taught history at Barnard, Columbia, and Rutgers before returning to Korea in 1972. She continued her teaching career at Korea University and then at Seoul National University, and laid the foundation for Russian and Soviet studies in Korea by launching the Korean Association for Russian Studies and founding the Russian Studies Institute at Seoul National University.

    Dr. Lee became Korea's first female ambassador when she was appointed to the post of Korean Ambassador to Finland in 1996. She served in this position for two years before taking on the key assignment of Korean Ambassador to Russia. Following her service in Russia in 2000, she became President of the Korea Foundation.
