The Annual Fulbright Distinguished Lecture: Nicholas Stern
PAST EVENT | 08 June 2018 17:00
The 8th Annual Fulbright Distinguished Lecture will take place in the Pichette Audiorium, Pembroke College Oxford at 5pm on Friday 8th June 2018. The lecture will be followed by a reception.
This event is free and open to the public, however registration via Eventbrite is essential.
This event will be live streamed on Facebook.
Professor Lord Nicholas Stern will present ‘The Best of Centuries or the Worst of Centuries: Leadership, Governance and Cohesion in an Interdependent World'.
The world has changed dramatically in the last three decades. We have seen the rise of China and emerging market economies redraw the international division of labour and the balance of economic power, and the global commons have come under intense pressure. The international economic order, which William Fulbright helped to build after the second world war, served fairly well for much of the second half of the last century. It must be re-cast for our increasingly interdependent world if we are to avoid the grave risks we face, including climate change, pandemics and conflict. If we do, and this will require both leadership and collaboration, we could create a very attractive future, the best of centuries. If not, the destruction which could follow, could take us to the worst of centuries.
These annual lectures commemorate former United States Senator J. William Fulbright, alumnus of Pembroke College, Oxford and founder of one of the most prestigious international education awards programs in the world: The Fulbright Program. Pembroke College are delighted to co-host this event, which is organised by the Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Oxford (DPIR).
