SUMMARY:Navigating Relationships with China Across Academia\, Trade and Culture
DESCRIPTION:The China symposium offered a chance to discuss in more depth the ideas and questions addressed by Professor Rana Mitter and Professor David Daokui Li in their Tanner Lecture 2025 on 17 March 2025. Furthermore\, the symposium sought to explore the multifaceted relationship between the West and China\, focusing on academic engagement\, trade\, and cultural exchange. It aimed to provide insights into the opportunities and challenges of engagement\, and to discuss strategies for fostering balanced\, mutually beneficial partnerships. \nTopics for discussion and questions: \nThe Geopolitics of Academic Exchange \n\nExamining the collaboration between Western universities and Chinese institutions\, the opportunities for knowledge exchange\, and the risks of engagement and disengagement.\nAcademic collaboration and research on climate change\nHow does collaboration with Chinese universities impact research innovation?\nWhat are the risks to academic freedom\, intellectual property\, security and reputation?\nHow would disengagement affect academic and economic landscapes?\n\n  \nTrade and Economic Engagement with China \n\nHow should the UK and West approach trade with China\, recognising it as a global economic superpower and the world’s second-largest country by population? What is the role of power as the basis for trade relations today?\nWhat sectors present the greatest opportunities for UK-China trade? How to address concerns about economic dependency and ethical issues?\nWhat stance will the new US government take on China and how will US-China relations influence broader relations between the West and China?\nHow will technology\, in particular AI\, influence relations between the West and China and what role can universities play in this area?\nHow is climate change affecting China and how is it responding?\n\n  \nCultural Exchange and Mutual Understanding \n\nExploring how to enhance cultural exchange with China to deepen mutual understanding and strengthen people-to-people connections.\nWhat initiatives have been most successful in fostering cultural dialogue? Do cultural relations with China tend to be mostly one-way?\nExploring Chinese popular culture and social media\nChinese philosophy and its contemporary relevance\nHow can cultural exchanges address stereotypes and build trust between societies?\nWhat role do art\, education\, languages and tourism play in enhancing cultural ties?

SUMMARY:Migration and Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:The concept of ‘climate migration’ combines two large-scale risks for today’s society: climate change and migration. From a political perspective\, progressives are typically concerned about the risk relating to climate\, while conservatives typically focus on risks posed by migration to existing societies and cultures. From an analytical perspective\, there are both maximalists and minimalists\, with regards to the severity of climate change vis-à-vis migration. The media landscape surrounding the topic of ‘climate migration’ is shaped by both these political and analytical axes. Implied in the debates on ‘climate migration’ are also more reflexive questions about the society that is preoccupied with the topic\, regardless of its politics or analyses: what is the place and role of science in society\, politics\, and policy-making? To what extent should qualitative and cultural considerations be taken into account in technocratic decision-making\, particularly around discussions of adaptation to climate change? Should decision-making prioritise the enforcing of international agreements\, or by asserting national sovereignty? What is the relationship between idealism and pragmatism in discussions of issues like ‘climate migration’? \nAn interdisciplinary group of experts in climate science\, migration\, geography\, geopolitics\, literature\, film\, and the arts\, from academia\, consulting\, think tanks\, the arts\, journalism\, law\, and streaming platforms will meet at the Richard Eden Suite at Clare Hall to discuss a range of questions including: \n\nwhat do we mean by climate migration?\nhow the media responds to migration and climate change\npolicy responses to potential long term mass migration from climate change\nthe role of creativity and the arts in responding to climate change and migration

SUMMARY:The Mediterranean and Climate Change - Fate of the Planet in the Future of 'Our Sea'
DESCRIPTION:Background – A collaboration between Clare Hall and the Science & Human Dimension Project\, this one-day symposium will address Climate Change and the Mediterranean. \nThe warning signs have been evident for half a century: in 1985 David Attenborough declared at a conference in Rome: “By the early 1970s it was clear that the Mediterranean was dying.”  Scientists argue that the region is a microcosm of the planet’s environmental future.   The Mediterranean is the canary in the climate mine. If the people of the Mediterranean are unable to halt the slide to environmental disaster\, what hope for the rest of the world? \nThe Mediterranean\, a virtually enclosed sea at the juncture of three continents\, is a hospitable environment of great beauty; the cradle of civilizations; a region rich in cultural heritage and recorded history\, arts and architecture\, the birth place of the three religions of the Book.  The benign climate is a crucial\, sustaining feature of its agriculture\, fisheries\, food and wine; its abundant creative achievements\, as well as its many conflicts.  Bordered by twenty-one countries\, with collective populations of 500 million and 300 million annual visitors\, the Mediterranean is a wealthy industrial\, agricultural\, marine and cultural powerhouse\, albeit marked by striking inequalities\, geopolitical tensions and local conflicts. \nYet the Mediterranean environment is headed for collapse.  The 2020 1st Report on Climate and Environmental Change in the Mediterranean Basin declared the region the “main hotspot in the world”\, warming up 20 per cent faster than the global average. Some 250 million of its peoples are projected to be “water poor” within 20 years.  Temperatures are expected to increase by 2.2ºC (compared to pre-industrial levels) by 2040.  NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies has found that the current drought that began in 1998 in the eastern Mediterranean – comprising Cyprus\, Israel\, Jordan Lebanon\, Palestine\, Syria and Turkey – appears the worst in 900 years. \nResearchers across the Mediterranean continue to monitor and model conditions and associated environmental woes due to human activity: including carbon emissions\, plastics and petrochemical pollution\, over-fishing\, deforestation – with knock-on consequences:  unseasonal intense heatwaves\, proliferating wildfires\, water contamination\, marine eutrophication\, flash-floods. The social and geopolitical consequences are already evident: water and food insecurity\, refugee and migration crises\, economic shocks\, heightened tension\, and armed conflict. \nResearchers provide measurements and models of what is happening and likely to happen. National and international constituencies of scientists\, social scientists\, engineers and technologists\, make recommendations for policy and law makers\, hampered by short-termism and budgetary constraints. But how is the wider public preparing for the reality of an environmental deterioration?  While celebrating the legendary beneficence of the region\, and embracing the grim facts of its crises\, our symposium program widens the perspectives to include the realms of history\, geopolitics\, anthropology\, art and religion. \nArchaeologists and climate historians have recorded the many environmental impacts on Mediterranean societies in the past\, including volcanoes\, earthquakes\, drought\, plague – from the Late Bronze Age and Antiquity to the Little Ice Age\, from the Industrial Revolution to our fossil-fuelled polluted era of high technologies and rapidly expanding populations.  Can the past come to the aid of the future?  By taking soundings across a history of resilience and adaptation\, contrasted with episodes of paranoia\, despair\, oppression and conflict\, this symposium seeks to give impetus for readiness\, and public action.   \nContact the Science & Human Dimension Project for more information.

SUMMARY:AI - Ethical and Religious Perspectives (AI & Future of Humanity Series)
DESCRIPTION:AI – Ethical and Religious Perspectives\nWill advances in AI serve to enhance or diminish our moral and spiritual selves?\nWill these advances serve to create better or worse societies? \nIn this conference we asked what impact future AI is likely to have on notions of the soul\, religious faith\, religious practice\, and the virtues. Does AI pose a threat\, or encouragement\, to religious belief and practice\, and will it create better or worse societies? In turn\, we ask how religion might guide and inform attitudes towards\, and relationships with\, future intelligent machines. Finally\, can religious perspectives influence and shape the course of AI research and development? See the full report of the conference.

SUMMARY:Science – The Next Generation
DESCRIPTION:This conference was held in association with City University Journalism School and brought together a group of young scientists and experienced journalists to discuss the problems and constraints\, the scope and potential\, of careers in science journalism at a time of rapid media change and challenge. Each segment was introduced briefly by two seasoned practitioners: followed by open-floor discussion. High quality\, responsible science reporting is crucial both to public understanding of a range of issues as well as the decisions of government. Over the past two decades the Science and Human Dimension Project at Jesus College\, Cambridge\, has convened conferences as a contribution to public understanding of science. Our aim has been to enhance the quality of the science media and to encourage scientists to participate in outreach to the public.

SUMMARY:SHDP Debate 2003: The Anthropic Principle and the Multiverse
DESCRIPTION:John Polkinghorne and Sir Martin Rees tackled the notion of the anthropic principle– the existence of numerical accidents in the Universe that were essential for the development of life. The speakers went on to draw contrasting conclusions from this circumstance\, and explanations. John Polkinghorne insisted that principle indicated a prime mover or mind in the Universe\, which he would call God\, while Martin Rees invoked a multiverse in which there is an infinite series of Big Bangs\, each resulting in a different set of laws of chemistry and physics. According to this theory we are living in the Universe in which the conditions\, while extraordinary\, are right for life – by chance rather than by design.

SUMMARY:SHDP Conference 1994: Plato and Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:Logicians and philosophers of mathematics discussed the mathematical Platonism with Penelope Maddy\, Michael Redhead\, Tim Smiley\, Jeremy Butterfield\, and Peter Smith. Is mathematics created by the mind or does it have an extra-mental existence\, and what are the implications for philosophy? \nPenelope Maddy\, a leading international philosopher of mathematics came to Cambridge from the United States to lead the discussions\, which\, inevitably\, were fascinating\, paradoxical\, and inconclusive.
