Grand Challenges
From the social and
environmental effects of
climate change to the impact
of technology on humans and
their relationships; we face
challenges that endanger
basic human needs, the ways
we organise and live together
and which influence life
chances and opportunities.
Our priorities, the choices we
make and the ways we seek
to deliver them will shape
futures and we can no longer
look to any one academic
discipline or research area
to provide solutions.
The Grand Challenges
series invites speakers to
provide fresh perspectives
on the political, ethical and
intellectual problems that
we face in the world today.
Following the lively 2017-8
programme including Anne
Power on Grenfell and the
future of social housing,
Darren Henley on creativity
and George Monbiot on a new
politics for an age of crisis,
our 2018-9 programme offers
further stimulating questions,
topics and provocations
from an exciting line up of
distinguished presenters. We look forward to welcoming
you to the Institute of Liberal
Arts and Sciences and a
Grand Challenges Lecture
very soon.
Our events are open to all
