The Francis Galton Collection: A Visit to the UCL Object Based Learning Lab

Explore the unique Object Based Learning Lab at University College London (UCL) and find out about the troubling history of data science through the collections of scientist Francis Galton.

Galton founded the pseudoscience of eugenics in 1883, and this visit will explore some of the racism and sexism in the history of science. Limited spaces are available so please book your place.
