Managing Diversity in Education - A Secular Perspective

The growth of knowledge benefits from a global leveraging of intellectual capital. In practice, this means increasing movements across borders in the delivery of education, both by academics teaching internationally and students travelling abroad to receive their education. But what happens when cultures and ideologies collide in supposedly 'neutral' academic environments? This talk will recount Mr Vlachos’ recent experience working in Pakistan and highlight the issues and challenges which arise from increased diversity on campuses across the globe.

PETER VLACHOS is Principal Lecturer at the Business School, University of Greenwich and a Council Member of the National Secular Society. He has over 15 years of practical experience in events and venue management both in the UK and North America. He has organised events at the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Courtauld Institute and Cabot Hall, Canary Wharf. He has been an assessor for the London Arts Board (now Arts Council of England, London) and a visiting lecturer in the post-graduate department of cultural policy and management at City University, London.
