The French have become an increasingly important presence in London. Estimates suggest London to be France's fourth largest city! But why is London such a popular destination for the French? What do the French highly skilled think of London and the UK as places to live and work, and how does it compare to Paris and France? Is London merely an opportunity for career progression or a place to settle and bring up a family? The talk will review the findings of an important new study funded by the Economic and Social Research Council into the work and life-experiences of the French highly skilled in London.

Composing the Common World through Arts and Politics
Ecological crisis puts an enormous tension on the framework of modernist institutions, especially science, politics and the arts. Is another type of collaboration possible to explore other ways than modernisation to compose the common world? Bruno Latour is a French sociologist and anthropologist and an influential theorist in the field of Science and Technology Studies. He is Professor, vice-president for research and director of the Master of Experiments on Arts and Politics at Sciences Po Paris. He curated two major international exhibitions, Iconoclash Beyond the Image Wars in Science, Religion and Art and Making Things Public The Atmospheres of Democracy.
