5x15 - Prof Iain Hutchison

5×15 is an initiative of Rosie Boycott, Daisy Leitch and Eleanor O’Keeffe, which invites five world leading speakers to speak about their chosen topic for fifteen minutes each.

In fifteen minutes, Professor Iain Hutchison challenges the audience with images and ideas that get to the root of human identity. What is the meaning of the face for a person’s identity? What kind of discrimination confronts people with severe facial disfigurement? What is the psychological and material benefit of having surgery to reconstruct the face? What are the relative benefits of pioneering surgery of the type which Professor Hutchison has developed? What are the other reasons that people become anxious about their identities, such as body dysmorphic disorder? All these questions and more are confronted in this talk, which makes us think about both how we perceive ourselves and how others perceive us.
