Kudos to the lightness of touch with which Jo opens her lecture on one of the most cerebral and pathbreaking novelists of her age. I wish she had looked up at the audience from time to time while holding forth on settlement and colonisation, migration and dispersion. Those who watch you on the screen, find it difficult to listen to your discourse unless your eyes and the labile lineaments of your face aid and animate the transmission from the mouth. Jan did not exaggerate one jot when he thanked you for your marvellous presentation.
Why in the world record the visual of this lovely woman instead of what she is talking about? Show the slides! Those who are interested in thoughts about George Eliot and her work will do well to start about 20 minutes in and skip everyone's credentials and the circling of the wagons that occurs before Eliot's work in it's political context.
They may not be permitted to show the slides. Universities’ rules on intellectual property vary and the recording may not have been originally intended for RUclips, so the speaker wouldn’t have had informed consent. I would not grant permission to record my slides if I knew it was going to YT.
The gentleman introducing the lecture would put me off studying there. He must have known he was to speak, so why all the hesitations ? Most annoying. Not even bothered the lecture.
when they refer to an image that we in the RUclips audience aren't shown.....this hurts me.

Skip up to 10:00.

Reading this now...how appropriate!
They spend a lot of time praising their colleagues.
