Recent events now on YouTube: March 2023 (updated)

Most face-to-face events and all online events conducted by the Royal Society of NSW are recorded and made available for subsequent viewing on our YouTube channel, youtube.com/royalsocnsw

There were two events in March 2023 for which recordings are now available.

The recording of the first in the Ideas@theHouse series for 2023 presented on 2 March by Her Excellency the Honourable Margaret Beazley, Governor of New South Wales, in collaboration with the  Royal Society of New South Wales, is now available on YouTube.  In this presentation, Dr John Vallance, noted classics scholar and State Librarian of New South Wales, speaks on the subject of "Aristotle on life and thought in the sub-lunary sphere" and provides a fascinating exposition of the structure and purpose behind Aristotelian philosophy accessible to the non-philosopher, and throws in some Aristotelian tips for living well and productively along the way.

The second of the two events in March that is also now available on YouTube were presentations by the winners of the Annual Student Awards for 2022: the Jak Kelly Award which was won by Shankar Dutt (PhD student at ANU), and the RSNSW Scholarships that were awarded to the following PhD students: Clara Liu Chung Ming (UTS), Thomas Mesaglio (UNSW Sydney), and Anyang Zhao (ANU).  Summaries of their presentations and brief biographies of each of the students are available from the event notice on this website.
