In the first series of Reading Our Times we looked at meritocracy, secularism, dementia, liberalism and much else besides.

In this series, we’ll be talking to Margaret MacMillan about war, to Angela Saini about race, to Alexandra Aikhenvald about the origins and the end of language, to Rowan Williams about spirituality, Martin Rees about the future of humanity, and John Gray about cats and the meaning of life.

So tune in and join us for the second series of Reading Our Times starting on 25th May.
