In the video series LUCAS Explains, young researchers tell about current societal and cultural topics from a historical or fresh point of view. The subjects range from diversity to national identity and from inclusiveness to migration. The videos stretch the history from the Classics to the present and from Europe to Asia. LUCAS Explains is published every other Tuesday. LUCAS Explains is a video series of Leiden University Centre for the Arts in Society and SOON media Amsterdam.

In collaboration with Vlogboek, a number of videos about publications by LUCAS employees have been produced. Jörgen Apperloo (founder of Vlogboek) discusses the content of some works under the heading "Vlogboek Science". All the videos can be found on this page.

In this special one-off video series produced during the corona crisis, researchers in LUCAS who work on the Classical world take time to discuss ancient reactions to disease. Do they strike a chord with us? Or is there quite a difference to how we in the modern world are responding in our situation? Whether there are similarities or not, rereading these ancient texts might help us form a new perspective. Videos will be uploaded as they’re available, so do check back here again or subscribe to the channel.
