Darwin College Lecture Series

In the second term of each academic year, since 1986, Darwin College has organised a series of eight public lectures, built around a single theme, with a multi-disciplinary approach. Each lecture is prepared for a general audience by a leading authority on his or her subject. The lecture series is then published as a book by Cambridge University Press.
