UNSW Built Environment invites students to attend a newly-launched professorial talks series, Meeting of the Minds.
As the part of the Grand Challenge on Rapid Urbanisation, the Faculty’s accomplished professors from across all the Built Environment disciplines will speak on how their latest research and practice offers new perspectives on Rapid Urbanisation.
The Grand Challenge will be examined through the interdisciplinary lenses of the built environment research and practice - from the smallest to the largest scales, from the room and the objects within it to the cities and landscapes we inhabit.
The event’s format is simple to suit our students’ busy timetables – a 30min talk followed by 30 min networking and light lunch.
The talks will take place from 1pm to 2pm at the UNSW Red Centre Gallery on the first Wednesday of every month.
Professor David Sanderson has 30 years’ experience working across the world in development and emergencies. He worked for eight years for the NGO CARE International UK, as head of policy and subsequently regional manager for southern and west Africa.
