After the popularity of last year's initial series, this year's Lecture Series will be offered on a monthly basis, but with breaks for August and December.
Lectures are at 11am and 4pm UK time.
Below you can see the dates and topics. Ian will deliver these, though there may be the inclusion of some guest lecturers so keep an eye out for any changes which will be posted here.
Do please make comments, start a discussion about any of these topics in the Member's Forum. It will be interesting to hear your thoughts and contribute to the 'common insights' which having the Academy can foster. Every contribution is valuable!
