#LivefromLucy: 'Inclusive higher education as the new normal'
Watch this informative virtual talk in which Dr Emily Nordmann discussed how we have redesigned our curriculum to have inclusivity at its core.
In this virtual talk, Professor Sunalini Kumar examined the histories of city-planning and city-building in the 20th century.
Professor Kumar's talk examined histories of city-planning and city-building in diverse cultural and political settings of the long 20th century, pointing out surprising overlaps and resonances in ideas of a 'global urban' or the 'world class city' or the 'national capital' cutting across North and South, East and West. Thus, Teheran, New York, New Delhi, Canberra and Brasilia have more in common than we realise.
