The ICArEHB Dialogues series was developed in 2021 as a platform to represent the breadth of research that the centre covers and to engage international researchers and the public with the research of leading experts whose work falls within ICArEHB’s research agenda and themes. With these goals in mind, this year we invite everyone to reflect with us and our invited speakers, based on current evidence…

What if you had a time machine to change the world?
