DESCRIPTION:The title of the seminar is *_What's So Good About Growth?_*\,
  and we will be looking at all aspects of growth\, and questioning the gen
 eral assumption that "growth is good".\n\nOur last seminar\, which was ent
 itled _The Future of the World in Four Objects_\, brought together the que
 stions considered in earlier seminars.  These had looked at climate change
 \, narratives of risk\, the survival of the human race and the geopolitica
 l tensions generated by the hunger for natural resources and the differing
  economic and political paths to growth.  We felt that the next seminar sh
 ould return to the consideration of major issues facing the world over the
  coming decades\, and how issues of growth across all disciplines should b
 e addressed.  \n\nWe are delighted that *Jonathan Smales*\, of Beyond Gree
 n\, has agreed to chair this event\, and that the speakers will be:\n\n* *
 Satish Kumar*\, of Resurgence\n* *Professor Susan Smith*\, of the Geograph
 y Department\, University of Cambridge and Mistress of Girton College\n* *
 Dr Hermann Hauser*\, Entrepreneur \n* *Mr Andrew Hill*\, Associate Editor 
 and Management Editor at _the Financial Times_\n\n\nThe seminar will take 
 the form of four relatively brief presentations from the speakers\, after 
 which there will be a lively question and answer session involving the aud
 ience.   The audience is drawn from a broad range of alumni\, the College
 ’s Corporate Partners\, government\, media\, academics and students.  Th
 e seminar will run over the late afternoon in the Queen’s Building\, Emm
 anuel College\, and will be followed by a reception and dinner in Pembroke
 .\n
