Eric Symes Abbott Lecture – Money, Bias and the Geography of the Heart

This year’s lecture will be given by Loretta Minghella OBE, Master of Clare College, Cambridge on ‘Money, Bias and the Geography of the Heart.’

Money has long been associated with moral danger and the deliberate parting with it is generally seen as something to be honoured and encouraged. But globalisation of markets, environmental degradation and the rise of technology have created new geographies of ethical risk which national governments find it hard to tackle. Knowing how money talks and that much change is needed, how do we work out where it is now safe to stand?
