- 'The conversion of Constantine and the Christianisation of Europe'
Professor Peter Heather
Professor of Medieval History, King's College London
Inaugural Lecture
23 October 2012
What a wonderful lecture. Dr. Heather is something of a intellectual hero of mine who has certainly earned his reputation as arguably the greatest historian living. His work on imperial era Germanic societies is brilliant and explains so much of how Europe as we know it came to be.
Like all brilliant lectures and speeches, if the sound is bad like this then almost certainly most of people like me would unwillingly stop the video before my blood pressure shoots up, pity.
I would love to have listened to this---but the sound was too boomy to tolerate. The guy has a microphone in from of him, why didn't "King College of London" think to use it?
Fascinating topic with a brilliant speaker, but poor audio meant it was impossible to follow. Lots of background noise; were people constantly moving chairs and leaving?
bit poor the audio quality sadly
The listener just misses too many words to make sense of the lecture. The [ CC ] function is of little help.
If kingscollegelondon posted this video, they must have reviewed it in advance, so they should know the audio is not adequate.
Hopefully, this is not typical of their work. The thing to do is to link to a site that has the video transcript to read.
This is an example of poor quality coming from higher education. Our universities are corrupted by politics, on both sides of
the pond, and it's high time to reorganize education, with the goal of reducing administrations, and once again teaching classical
liberal arts, and math and sciences....instead of that gawd-awful conformist, post-modernist, post-structuralist, social Marxism
they push in our schools, which has transformed schools & universities from places of learning to institutions for "social justice".
No the actual content of this work isn't about Marxism or social justice. If anything the idea of barbarian identity and settlement seeks to counter the notion of cultural relativism.
It is just an example of scholars not being the best at social media. The audio is difficult.
@@markschmitz5038 - The 2nd paragraph of my rant is not about the content of the video. It's about modern higher education, which is hard to the left.
It's a problem that higher education is a leftist clique, www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/oct/6/liberal-professors-outnumber-conservatives-12-1/
and I think the poor quality of this video presentation calls attention to that problem. They seem to be detached from the world to the point of dysfunction.

@@mu99ins ok
Bad audio is a great way to keep good info completely inaccessible. Well done posting this waste of time.
Yeah, crappy sound so I stopped after 30 minutes.
