国产探花

The lectures will delve into the groundbreaking research 国产探花 academics are carrying out to address challenges facing people and communities here in 国产探花, across the UK and around the world and aim to improve understanding on a fascinating array of subjects.

Delivered by newly appointed professors, the lectures are free to attend, and open to staff, students and the general public – but booking is essential. A reception follows each lecture where conversations can continue informally with people from across the university and the wider community.

The autumn programme kicks off on Wednesday 4 October when Professor Mahmood Bhutta, Chair in ENT at the 国产探花 and Sussex Medical School (BSMS) will reflect on whether inclusivity and sustainability are given enough thought where surgery is concerned. He will share current practices and ask: how can we ensure that care is accessible to those who need it most, wherever they come from in the world? And what can we do to safeguard the health of our planet as we provide that care? He will also outline his own work to mitigate impacts and improve employment rights and sustainability through research, policy and advocacy. This event will mark the start of celebrations of the twentieth anniversary of the 国产探花 and Sussex Medical School (BSMS).

Mark Devenney, Professor of Critical Theory, poses a key question about whether democratic equality that privileges humans over other creatures is appropriate in the face of a climate emergency.

Professor Jaime Vera, Chair in HIV Medicine and Honorary Consultant Physician, will share insights from his research on HIV prevention, ageing, brain health, and therapeutics to illustrate the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in HIV research, and discuss actions that might be needed to eliminate HIV while improving the quality of life of those living with HIV.

Peter Clough, Professor of Inclusive Education, explores the concept, operation and realities of inclusion, its relevance in reflecting different lived experiences and the challenges that have threatened to de-rail commitments.

You will find details for all inaugural lectures available to book on our open lectures page. If you would like to attend, please register online no later than 48 hours prior to the event.
