Corruption in public life is pernicious, but in creative activity it can be an essential tool of inquiry and challenging continuities and conventional wisdom. This pair of Thinkspace events will explore how these paradoxes and subversions affect our social, intellectual and cultural fabric - and ask whether corruption is always corrosive.


The event will explore notions of corruption in the human body, language, time and the physical environment. Speakers will include medical doctor and academic Anita Berlin, literary scholar Greg Dart and artist Richard Wentworth. The event will be chaired by UCL vice provost and Chadwick Professor of Engineering, Nick Tyler.

Thinkspace is a new forum for cross-disciplinary discussion and debate at UCL curated by Jeremy Melvin.
