| Summary: |
This is the second Magnusson Fellowship Lecture, given by Dr Will Hutton, Executive Vice Chair of The Work Foundation. The title of the lecture is 'Them and Us - Politics, Greed and Inequality - Why We Need a Fair Society'. The Magnusson Lecture took place on Tuesday, October 19, 2010, in the new GCU London Spitalfields campus, which opened in September 2010. This is the second of special lectures which have been established in memory of the University's late Chancellor Magnus Magnusson KBE, who believed passionately in Glasgow Caledonian University's mission to prepare its graduates as dynamic global citizens and to use its academic expertise for the social and economic good of Scotland and the wider world. The audience included policymakers, the business community, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and academics. Successful outcomes of the inaugural Fellowship lecture, given by Professor Muhammad Yunus in December 2008 include the new Grameen Caledonian College of Nursing which opened in Dhaka, with its first forty students drawn from Grameen families across Bangladesh, and the appointment by GCU of Professor Cam Donaldson to the worlds first Yunus Chair in Social Business and Health. In his new book, Professor Yunus refers to the ambitious outcomes of the first Magnusson Fellowship meeting and Lecture, and their potential for the future. |
