What does the post-pandemic future hold for office workers? Will we drift back to old ways of working, or continue with hybrid/remote working? What do the experts advise on how best to adapt?

Joanna Bale talks to LSE’s Connson Locke, Grace Lordan and Carsten Sorensen, as well as Hailley Griffis, a social media management company executive, who believes that offices will soon become extinct.

Welcome to LSE IQ, a new monthly podcast from the London School of Economics and Political Science. This is the podcast where we ask some of the leading social scientists - and other experts - to answer intelligent questions about economics, politics or society. 

It is with alarming regularity that reports of prison violence, overcrowding and concerns over the impact of funding cuts are hitting the headlines. With 46% of all prisoners reoffending within a year of release last year, the system could be considered not just expensive and unpleasant, but failing. In this episode, Jess Winterstein takes a look at the prison system in England and Wales and asks, is our prison system broken?   

This episode features: Dr Simon Bastow, LSE Fellow, Department of Management; Professor Nicola Lacey, School Professor of Law, Gender and Social Policy at LSE; and Dr Sharon Shalev, a fellow of the Mannheim Centre for the Study of Criminology and Criminal Science at LSE and founder of SolitaryConfinement.org

Is our prison system broken?

Speaker(s): Professor Roger Brownsword, Professor Neil Levy, Professor Sir Michael Rutter | Editor's note: Unfortunately the beginning of the chairperson’s introduction is missing from the podcast. Will developments in the neurosciences change our moral and legal notions of criminality and responsibility – and if so, how? Roger Brownsword is professor of law at King's College London. Neil Levy is deputy director of the Oxford Centre for Neuroethics and the Florey Neuroscience Institute, University of Melbourne. Michael Rutter is professor of developmental psychopathology in the MRC Social, Genetic and Developmental Psychiatry Centre at the Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London.

Dr. Joop de Jong's lecture of December 11th, 2012, organized by the Institute of Anthropology at Universität Heidelberg. Title: "The Perennial Debate on Culture and Psychopathology: from Inferior Frontal Lobes to Cultural Neuroscience"

In this talk four perspectives on psychopathology that prevailed over the past 150 years will be discussed. The first perspective is the "dichotomous perspective" that focused on either biology or culture as an explanatory model. This perspective was dominant during colonial times and was partially substituted by and overlapped with the second "continuum-perspective" that attributed a "disorder" to the biological, socio-cultural, cognitive, emotional and linguistic aspects of behaviour. The third perspective is the "spectrum-perspective" that filters psychopathology through a prism into divergent behavioural patterns that can be studied. The fourth, which is also the latest and overlaps with the other ones, is the "cultural neuroscientific perspective". Cultural neuroscience tries to answer two main questions: 1) how do cultural traits (e.g., values, beliefs, practices) shape neurobiology (e.g., genetic and neural processes)and behaviour; and 2) how do neurobiological mechanisms (e. g., genetic and neural processes) facilitate the emergence and transmission of cultural traits? This article concludes with an example of traumatic stress disorder showing how cultural neuroscience may help to transcend the dichotomy between universalism and relativism, between nature and nurture, and between genotype and phenotype.
