From June, 1962 through January, 1964, women in the city of Boston lived in fear of the infamous Strangler. Over those 19 months, he committed 13 known murders-crimes that included vicious sexual assaults and bizarre stagings of the victims' bodies. After the largest police investigation in Massachusetts history, handyman Albert DeSalvo confessed and went to prison. Despite DeSalvo's full confession and imprisonment, authorities would never put him on trial for the actual murders. And more t ...

Travel can do amazing things: broaden horizons, build relationships, and rejuvenate the soul. But often, those experiences come at a cost. This is Peak Travel, a new podcast from WHYY about how travel shapes communities in hot-spots around the world. We’ll share the wonder that comes with exploring new places, as well as the harm that our worst travel habits can cause. And we’ll try to figure out how we can do it better. Each episode transports you to a new destination. You’ll meet the people who call that place home, hear their stories, and come to understand how tourism has changed their everyday lives. Supported by rich, on-location sound from around the world, Peak Travel unpacks the $1.9 trillion travel industry and its impact on people and the planet.

Russia has attempted to repress and destroy Ukrainian statehood and identity over two centuries. In this episode, we trace the historical roots of Russia’s current aggression to imperial myths from the early 19th century, and look at how these myths have resurfaced repeatedly over time. We explore the most recent wave of violence through the tragic story of Victoria Amelina, a Ukrainian writer who was killed in a Russian missile attack in 2023. The books under discussion are Eugene Finkel’s Intent to Destroy: Russia’s Two Hundred Year Quest to Dominate Ukraine (Basic Books, 2024) and Victoria Amelina’s Looking at Women Looking at War (Harper Collins, 2025).

This episode explores central themes of identity, belonging, and how London shapes and is shaped by its rich tapestry of stories. European Literary Map of London: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/european-institute/lost-found-european-literary-map-london Bulgarian-born author and journalist Joanna Elmy was our 23/24 inaugural Writer in Residence. Joanna’s first novel Born of Guilt, written during her years in university, received a prestigious Bulgarian prize for emerging literature in 2022 and was shortlisted for several other national awards. During her four-week stay at UCL (24 April – 22 May 2024), Joanna engaged with academics across faculties, and worked on her second novel which features London prominently and explores ‘cities of the world’ – a modern take on urban spaces partly inspired by Italo Calvino’s approach to writing the city. Writer, director and actor Larisa Faber collaborated with UCL European Institute and the UCL Faculty of Arts and Humanities in the summer term of 2024, in the context of the European Literary Map of London project, and an ongoing partnership with EUNIC London, the European Literature Network and the European Writers’ Festival, curated by Rosie Goldsmith. Larisa worked to develop an irreverently multivocal text about the politics of seasonal vegetables – which will feature on the European Literary Map of London as the first Luxembourgish entry.…

Party People: Candidates and Party Evolution is published with Oxford University Press, and available in hard cover, e-book and audiobook. In conversation with Claudia Sternberg of the UCL European Institute, Allan and Philipp discuss why party systems have changed so radically across Europe, what we can learn from looking at parties in Central and Eastern Europe, and in what ways their analysis of 200,000 electoral candidates from over 60 elections across nine CEE democracies helps us to understand party change more broadly, including candidate turnover, party fission and fusion, programmatic change, and party leadership change.…

Do you have to be in a couple to be a successful adult? In this episode of Talking Europe, we ask how norms around coupledom differ across Europe and how they have changed in recent decades. The EI’s Claudia Sternberg is joined by Sasha Roseneil, Professor of Interdisciplinary Social Science in the IAS, and UCL’s Dean of Social and Historical Sciences to discuss her latest book ‘The Tenacity of the Couple-Norm: Intimate citizenship regimes in a changing Europe’ (UCL Press, 2020). You’ll also hear from Sasha’s four co-authors and collaborators for this book: • Isabel Crowhurst, Senior Lecturer in Sociology, University of Essex, • Tone Hellesund, Professor in Cultural Studies, University of Bergen, Norway, • Dr Ana Cristina Santos, Senior Researcher, Centre for Social Studies, University of Coimbra, Portugal, • Dr Mariya Stoilova, Researcher, Department of Media and Communications, London School of Economics. Together we explore how laws, policies and social institutions in the UK, Bulgaria, Norway and Portugal shape our desires and imaginations, making us want to be in a couple. You’ll also encounter some life stories of individual persons and how they navigate the couple norm. ‘The Tenacity of the Couple-Norm: Intimate citizenship regimes in a changing Europe’ is available as a free e-book and as paperback/hardback from UCL Press.

In times of urgency, governments habitually concentrate power and restrict citizens’ rights. The current situation is no different: in order to prevent or control the spread of COVID-19, governments around the world have issued stay at home orders and temporarily closed businesses. While such measures are clearly necessary, it remains important that we scrutinise the extraordinary powers conferred upon governments and interrogate whether their legal basis is satisfactory. We would also do well to think more broadly about what emergencies do to liberal democracies, and how they stretch further the tensions between liberty and constraint, order and justice, that inhere in any rule-of-law state. In this latest episode of our new podcast series COVID-19: The Pandemic and Europe, EI Executive Director Uta Staiger and guests explore states of emergency from the Roman Republic to today’s UK, from Carl Schmitt to privacy-respecting contact tracing systems. Featuring: Jeff King, Professor of Law (UCL Laws) and a Legal Adviser to the House of Lords Select Committee on the Constitution, giving advice on the Coronavirus Bill before it was passed by Parliament. Valentina Arena, Associate Professor in Roman History (UCL History), author of Libertas and the Practice of Politics in the Late Roman Republic (CUP, 2012), and interested in how ancient theories of liberty may contribute to contemporary political debates. Nomi Claire Lazar, Associate Dean of Faculty (Yale-NUS College), author of States of Emergency in Liberal Democracies (CUP, 2009), and recently member of a panel advising Canada's Chief Science Advisor on rights derogating technologies. -- *This podcast was recorded on Friday, 24 April.

The Will of the People: A Modern Myth Democracies today are in the grip of a myth: the myth of the will of the people. New political forces use the idea to challenge elected representatives. Politicians, content to invoke the will of the people, fail in their duty to make responsible and accountable decisions. And public contest over political choices is stifled by fears that opposing the will of the people will be perceived as elitist. In this episode of our Talking Europe series, Albert Weale, Emeritus Professor of Political Theory and Public Policy at UCL, discusses the origins and uses of the notion, arguing that healthy democracies require that choices be challenged, parliaments strengthened, and political leaders called to account.
