CRIC Public Lecture: Conflict, Complexity and Cooperation
Lecture by Professor, the Lord Alderdice FRCPsych

Conflict, Complexity and Cooperation

It would be difficult to argue that our world is not characterised by the spread of conflict and complexity. But can a better understanding of complexity theories point to the possibilities for cooperation in our diversity, rather than political violence? John Alderdice will explore this challenge and its practical implications.

Time: 6pm – 7.15pm

Date: Wednesday, 27 September 2017

Venue: Harris Manchester College, Mansfield Road, Oxford OX1 3TD
