The influence of important thinkers often spreads far beyond the field in which they originally operated - look at Freud, Einstein or Derrida, to name just some relatively recent examples.
But the thinkings of few others can have had an impact quite as wide-ranging as those of Charles Darwin. This July, Fae Brauer, Barbara Larson and Gavin Parkinson have assembled leading academics from across the world for a three-day conference during which will be discussions about the effect that Darwin has had in politics, society, sex and the visual arts.
Coinciding with the Darwin bicentennial, this is the most extensive conference ever to take place at the Courtauld Institute.
