What does it mean for research to be truly open?
At UCL Press, it means peer‑reviewed books and journals that are free to read online and built to last. It means removing barriers so scholarship can travel further and be used more widely.

He also reveals how the Bentham Project brings order to this vast archive of manuscript pages, and how Bentham’s thinking still offers a model for clarity, purpose and intellectual rigour today.

In this new documentary from UCL Press Play, Professor Philip Schofield unpacks the life, legacy, and working mind of Jeremy Bentham.
When philosopher Jeremy Bentham died, he bequeathed over 100,000 manuscript pages to @ucl.ac.uk But what do these pages contain, and how does UCL’s Bentham Project make sense of them?
Interpreting Art shines a light on the interpretive moves we often overlook and suggests new possibilities for writing about art in the future.

✨ Why do ideas like artistic intention refuse to disappear?
✨ What are we really doing when we appeal to an artwork’s reception?
✨ How does context expand or limit interpretation?
✨ And why do artworks seem to become more complex over time?
In Interpreting Art, Sam Rose uncovers the quiet rules that guide how art historians, critics, and viewers make meaning. The book reveals the shared assumptions behind concepts like intention, context, and reception, inviting us to rethink how we write and think about art.
On World Art Day, we look at the hidden habits that shape how we all interpret art.
A person stands in front of two modern art paintings in a gallery. One painting on the left depicts a grey creature holding an orange sphere. The painting on the right features abstract figures in vibrant colours. Text overlays the lower part of the image, asking about how we make meaning from art and why interpretations follow familiar paths.
🎨 What if the real mystery of art is not the artwork, but how we explain it?

Drawing on politics, history, economics, sociology and anthropology, the book provides a multidisciplinary perspective on how populism became such a powerful force and offers recommendations for strengthening democratic resilience.
The Anatomy of Right Wing Populism examines how these movements rise and consolidate influence. It introduces the concepts of neo traditionalism and neo feudalism to explain how identity and power are constructed and maintained.
This shift invites renewed attention to the dynamics that have shaped political change across Central and Eastern Europe, where right wing populism has reconfigured institutions, public discourse and democratic norms.

What happens when a political era defined by right wing populism comes to an end?
Hungary has reached a pivotal moment. Viktor Orbán has conceded defeat after 16 years in power, with Péter Magyar’s Tisza party winning a two thirds majority according to independent reporting.
