Libby Purves presents this week's edition of the Learning Curve

POPULAR HISTORY
Libby discusses the appeal of history with Kate Mosse , author and broadcaster whose historical novel, Labyrinth , has been in the bestseller list for the past twelve weeks and Jonathan Phillips, senior lecturer in Medieval History at Royal Holloway, University of London

UNTEACHABLES
Libby discusses the Channel 4 series The Unteachables with Ted Wragg, Professor of Education at Exeter University and a specialist in classroom observation, who devised this series for Channel 4. John Bayley an ex-teacher, joins them. He trains teachers on teaching techniques and behaviour management.

CHALLENGING PERSPECTIVES
Libby is joined by Jan Krol , who manages a library in The Netherlands that is 'lending' out people to overcome prejudice. She also interviews Maryan Cisman, a Somalian refugee and Richard O'Neil who comes from a large Romany family, about their work as volunteers as part of The Year of the Volunteer's Citizenship and Community Month which this month is running an Asylum Seeker and Refugee Volunteering Fair on 11ÌýOctober in Brixton, London.
