DESCRIPTION:Dr Liliana Riga (University of Edinburgh) and Professor Jack E. Spence\, OBE (King’s College\, London) \nThe Paris Peace Conference of 1919 marks a key moment in the attempt to create a peaceful international society in which men and women would live their own lives in safety and freedom from coercion. In this celebration of one hundred years since the Treaty of Versailles\, which aspired to put an end to the ‘war that would end all wars’\, we consider the ideals and realities which were negotiated during the six months in Paris that changed the world. \nAdmission free.

SUMMARY:Alumni Lecture: Making Architecture\, Making Communities
DESCRIPTION:Award winning architect\, broadcaster and academic\, Piers Taylor\, will join us to discuss how architecture can bring about transformations in people and places\, and how ‘making’ can be a vehicle for participation. Piers will explore 20 years of practice\, showing work that ranges from projects for schools in the most deprived communities in the UK\, to more recent work at the National Arboretum that presents a model of how communities can do things for themselves. Piers will also be talking about how strong links between academia and practice are essential for architecture and education to thrive. \nAdmission free\, but booking essential.

SUMMARY:Doing Business Better: Should Reading Firms Have a Social Purpose?
DESCRIPTION:University Public Lecture \nBusiness delivers society’s wants and needs: from goods and services\, to wealth creation and employment. But businesses also enjoy a range of benefits from society: access to an educated workforce; reliable transport links; and the protections of the legal system. \nThis lecture will explore the nature of this complex relationship between business and society from the perspective of what is called ‘social contract theory’ in philosophy. \nUsing evidence from her own research\, Professor Emma Borg will ask what a ‘social purpose’ is\, and whether companies should specify and fulfil such a purpose to earn their place in society. \nShe will explain how ethical business behaviour can result in happier\, healthier and more productive employees\, greater loyalty from customers and suppliers and ultimately boost a company’s bottom line. \nEmma Borg is a Professor of Philosophy and leads the University of Reading’s Centre for Cognition Research. She specialises in the philosophy of language and the mind\, and the study of the relationship between business and society. \nAdmission free. Booking advisable.
