Well, week 2 of the Gurukul programme kicks off. If Week 1 was focussed on the UK, this week is about Globalisation...so everyh seminar as the Globalisation these built into it. Some good, some very good - and some irrelevant. But that is par for the course I guess.
A sampler: Globalisation: Opportunities or Dangers? ( David Held, a big name in the area),Globalisation, Regulation and Development, Globalisation and Technology, Globalization & Retailing.
But where is the globalisation: it is everywhere. I have a Turkish supervisor, an English professional mentor ( a lady in the Legal profession) and the faculty is from all over the world. With regular students now coming in, the diversity is now so evident.
The big theme is Alan Greenspan on campus, in conversation with Howard Davies, the LSE Director. As Gurukuls, we have been invited to the reception in his honour after his session.
The session was, well partly comprehensible - Alan being a mumbler with his American accent and advanced age. But sharp in his comprehension and precision. David made up for the wit though!
Fine eats as snacks and an excellent range of wines were the high points of the evening....before I sneaked off to Vijayanand's Sinha's home for dinner. He has an excellent home, right at South Kensington Underground. Good fun catching up.
Becoming more confident with London buses now ( cheaper than the underground - and you see a wee bit of the city).

Have you had a look at Alan Greespan's recent memoirs: The Age of Turbulence? It should be available in the LSE library for sure.
