Philosophy, politics, at the beautiful Old Quad Library on Wed 23 July, 5:30pm. Don’t miss it! Chris Berg and David Kemp will explore how these thinkers influenced Australia next week. As they say... A butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can cause a tornado in Texas.

Some great reflections on what think tanks actually do, which highlight the value of institutional diversity in the social science ecosystem.

I think you see this in other fields as well. E.g. many people have the same model of the role of academic research vs practitioners in how to make giving more effective (my own field). It underestimates how complex the world is, and the need for knowledge about context.

How did the Scottish Enlightenment (taking place on the opposite end of the planet) shape Australia? Join Professor Chris Berg and David Kemp on Wed 23 July to find out. Tickets here: zurl.co/MMErT
