Theme: Rediscovering care

TEDxUniversityofSussex currently operates under a TEDx studio license (TEDxUniversityofSussexStudio), with our production line incorporating new formats in our TEDx videos. This year we are bringing our community 4 new talks featuring local researchers and focusing on the theme of 'Rediscovering care'. Our speakers will be discussing a wide range of ideas, from self-neglect and autonomy; the art of rest; fascinating research on the connection between body image perception and our sense of smell; to how witnessing discrimination can be a transformative tool.
