Strathclyde Diamond Jubilee Town and Gown Lecture Series

Strathclyde Diamond Jubilee Town and Gown Lecture Series
Professor Sir Harry Burns: 'Conflict or Compassion: How do we choose?'
Wednesday 23 October, 18:00
The Social Hub Glasgow, 15 Candleriggs, Glasgow G1 1TQ, UKhttps://www.strath.ac.uk/staff/burnsharrysir/

In 2024, we celebrate Strathclyde’s Diamond Jubilee – 60 years since the granting of our Royal Charter. In the penultimate lecture of the Town and Gown series, Professor Sir Harry Burns will discuss the science of how our experiences determine how our brains work and how we value ourselves and others. As well as examine the societal conflicts that divide us—whether between social classes or in the current turmoil in the Middle East. What kind of world could we create if we chose care and compassion over exploitation and violence?

Sir Harry is renowned for addressing the link between poverty and ill health. He started his career in general surgery at Glasgow’s Royal Infirmary, before becoming Medical Director, and between 2005 and 2014, was Chief Medical Officer for Scotland.

This event is free to attend, but registration is required. Please note this event will not be recorded.
