I saw Mr. Ignatieff give a lecture in Wolfson College, Oxford this evening. He spoke about Isaiah Berlin and the characteristics of good political leadership.

His book “The Quark and the Jaguar” is one of my favourite pieces of science writing.

I met Nicholas Stern after a lecture he gave at Oxford University on February 21st, 2007.

I saw former Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin speak on globalization at the Global Economic Governance Program seminar in Oxford, on November 15th 2006.

I wrote a blog entry about it, which includes a photo of me with the former PM: http://www.sindark.com/2006/11/15/paul-martin-on-economic-governance/

I met George Monbiot at a one day conference at Oxford’s Environmental Change Centre. He gave a lecture on the social impact of park establishment in Africa.

I met David Suzuki during the period when we were both involved with the Vancouver based environmental group Leadership Initiative for Earth.

I met Jane Goodall through the WildLIFE conference, run by the environmental group Leadership Initiative for Earth, in Vancouver, Canada.

...we were sat in the grassy, shady quad of Wadham College in Oxford. It was a really sunny day and we talked whimsically about amusing words for nice bottoms, the Staten Island ferry in New York, and the coming adventure of our respective summers. We rounded off the afternoon with a trip to see some shrunken heads, and spent a happy few moments debating the asthetic merit of jewelry made from micro-cephalic body parts. Ah- June in Oxford!
