At the "Spinoza and Bodies" conference held September 10-11 at the University of Dundee, Dr. Michael Mack and PhD candidate Anthony Paul Smith presented papers whose audio recordings may be listened to here, amongst other presenters at the conference.

In a similar vein to the University of Nottingham's Period Table of Videos, Brady Haran, in conjunction with our Department of Theology and Religious Studies, is now producing a series on the Bible dubbed Bibledex. There will be books on all 66 books of the Bible, and as the website states, they "are by no means comprehensive - rather they're a curious assortment of academic insights into what is probably the most famous collection of books in history." Each video consists of different insights from the different perspectives offered from the staff and postgraduates in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies. The first three videos are now up, on Genesis, the Song of Songs, and 1 Corinthians. The remaining videos will be released periodically.
On the 3rd and 4th of November, Conor Cunningham will be at St. Edward's University and Baylor University, respectively, to screen the documentary "Did Darwin Kill God?" which he wrote and presented for BBC2. The Viewings will be accompanied by a Questions & Answers session afterward.
