Online Lecture Series

Compiling a list of interest lecture series. The goal here is to look at full, coherent, courses, not one-off lectures. Strong preference towards internationally recognised academic institutions, but will include those from elsewhere if they are reasonable quality and match the format of a typical university coourse.

Currently focused more on humanities, given that most lists like this tend to focus on programming/STEM.
