Adam Smith 300 Academic Workshops
As part of a week-long series of activities to commemorate the tercentenary of alumnus Adam Smith, the University of Glasgow College of Social Sciences, with support from the Templeton Foundation and the Institute for Humane Studies, hosted a day of open workshop sessions designed to encourage deep thought into Adam Smith’s writings and his relevance to contemporary economic and policy debates.
Each workshop featured 3-4 academics who led discussions related to the topic, with audience engagement encouraged.
We were delighted to welcome scholars and practitioners from around the world including:
- Professor Deirdre McCloskey
- Professor Jacob Levy
- Dr Francesca Daldegan
- Dr Thais Alves Costa
- Professor Leonidas Montes
- Professor John Cairns
- Dr Charlie Wheelan

Thanks to @ysi_commons for giving me a reason to take a break from 20th c. political economy and step back in time to the Scottish Enlightenment! It’s been a joy to present on Smith’s ideas about kinship & the family for the #AdamSmith300 events at the stunning @UofGlasgow! pic.twitter.com/pTFoV1p6SC
