  • GCPH seminar series 1: - Maureen O'Hara PhD - 'Minding the Future'
    Ours is an age of complexity, uncertainty and rapid change. Our response to these
    conditions has also made ours an age of anxiety, the effects of which are to be found
    everywhere - deteriorating mental health, increasing crime, a global environment
    under strain, the persistence and deepening of unequal patterns of distribution in
    income, wealth and well-being. In this lecture Maureen O'Hara presented a fresh
    look at these challenges and suggested that, if we can come to understand them in a
    different light, they offer the hope of transformation.

  • GCPH seminar series 1: - Prof Lord Richard Layard - 'Happiness'
    Prof Layard believes that the happiness of society does not necessarily equate to its
    income. Most people want more income, yet, as societies become richer, they do not
    become happier. Evidence from a range of sources shows that, on average, people
    have grown no happier in the last fifty years, even as average incomes have more
    than doubled. In fact, many countries have more depression, more alcoholism and
    more crime than fifty years ago. This paradox is true of Britain, the United States,
    continental Europe and Japan.
    In this lecture Prof Layard discussed both explanations of and remedies for this
    phenomenon including serious efforts by civic authorities to promote more pro-social
    cultures among children and young people.

  • GCPH seminar series 1: - Sholom Glouberman PhD - 'Changing Ideas; Changing Health'
    Central to this lecture was the premise that there is a strong connection between
    science and culture: how people think about the world is closely related to how they
    value and think about other things as well. Glouberman focused on changing
    perceptions of order and disorder, the environment and identity through the ages.
    The implications of the interaction between these three 'big ideas' and our view of
    health were explored.
