The 2011 Stegley Lecture

We are delighted that Professor Thomas Pogge will be delivering the 2011 Stegley Lecture. His topic is:

What are the responsibilities of the affluent to address global poverty?

Professor Pogge holds a number of positions including Leitner Professor of Philosophy and International Affairs at Yale and Professorial Fellow at the Australian National University.

With Australian and international funding support he currently heads a team effort towards developing a complement to the pharmaceutical patent regime that would improve access to advanced medicines for the poor worldwide (www.healthimpactfund.org) and toward developing better indices of poverty and gender equity.

Professor Pogge is one of the world’s most ardent critics of global injustice. He is an exciting and controversial speaker who will raise important questions about the massive disparity between the relative wealth of most citizens in affluent countries and the profound poverty of people struggling elsewhere for survival. Do the governments of wealthy countries and their citizens perpetuate this injustice?

We do hope you can join us for this very important event.
