As part of the Changemaker Campus launch, the University of Northampton will be hosting two public lectures on the subject of communities and the big society.
Featuring Professor Margaret Ledwith as guest speaker, the lectures will give students and members of the local community a chance to hear about radical community development and change.
Professor Margaret Ledwith is Emeritus Professor of Community Development and Social Justice at the University of Cumbria.??She has worked with communities in Scotland and in North West England , and spent time in Nicaragua, in inner-city Manchester, in Hattersley (a Manchester peripheral estate), and with Vietnamese refugees. These experiences have sharpened her understanding of power and oppression. Professor Ledwith's commitment to a more fair, just and equal world gives authenticity to her ideas on social justice and environmental sustainability , and she is a prolific author; she is currently writing Community Development in Action, a handbook for busy grassroots practitioners.
The first lecture, 'Reclaiming the radical agenda: Paulo Freire in a double dip downturn' takes place between 6-8pm on 5 March in the Dialogue Cafe, situated in Park Library. This event is open to both community practitioners within the local area and students from the School of Health. As a Dialogue Cafe event, our international partners will also be able to take part in the event.
The second lecture is entitled 'Community development and human flourishing: be the change!'. This event is open to students from the School of Health, and will take place between 9am - 11am on 6 March at Sunley Conference Centre.
