Her talk, Changing Visions of The Earth, is part of the Caf Scientifique programme, a series of informal scientific debates organised by the campus.

A former Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at Newcastle University, Ms Midgely has been described as "one of the finest thinkers in the English language".
