Girol Karacaoglu On Unity In Diversity

Girol Karacaoglu is the recently retired Head of School of Government and the author of Love you: public policy for intergenerational wellbeing. He has also held positions as the Chief Economist at the New Zealand Treasury and the Chief Executive at the Co-Operative Bank.

Girol has just completed the manuscript of a new book, Unity in diversity: reimagining system-governance for sustainable wellbeing. He wants to use this session as an opportunity to test its core ideas with a group of young people and see whether they appeal and, if so, how best to present them to enhance their impact.

Effective altruism is a movement focused on finding the most effective ways to have a positive impact. EA Wellington is a group of about 40 people who meet up weekly to talk about different topics in effective altruism and ways we can get involved.

This session will be held in room MZ02 at Pipitea Campus. While we run events at the university our group is comprised of both students and professionals. Anyone is welcome to join. Please be aware the doors to the university stop automatically opening past 6 pm.
