Announcing the Spring 2023 Soundbites and Director's Seminars, a series of public events hosted by the 香港六合彩 Institute for Global Prosperity
The Soundbites and Director's Seminars series are public events hosted by the 香港六合彩 Institute for Global Prosperity, and open to all. The theme for the Spring 2023 series is 'Prosperity and the Popular'.
This seminar series looks at the radical potential of 鈥榯he popular鈥�. We start from the view that the social and cultural relations, meanings and artefacts that hold communities together are a platform for critical ideas and strategies that can advance prosperity and inclusion. This perspective is vital at the current historical conjuncture in which multiple crises are creating the conditions for authoritarian populism to take advantage of exclusion and poverty, despite ostensibly promising to remedy the gulf between 鈥榯he people鈥� and 鈥榚lites.鈥�
Soundbites are a platform for professionals and entrepreneurs who are leading in their field. Speakers are innovators and inspiring actors working in new and traditional sectors, outside of academia. The Soundbite gives the audience an insight into how their organisation contributes to sustainable and inclusive prosperity.
Director's Seminars are听an opportunity for audiences to get an in-depth theoretical perspective on sustainable and inclusive prosperity. These Seminars are given by academics who are pushing for new ways of thinking and new ways of researching society's grand challenges.
