Monthly Blog Series

Each month we publish a blog which aims to delve into a particular or technical aspect of our wider annual theme, which this year is Intergenerational Conflict. 

Our March blog was written by Dr Julia Bird (2005), Pembroke alumna and Economic Consultant, who argues that politics must take into account the needs of the as of yet unborn generations and make a much needed judgement on what Economic trade-offs are needed right now in order for there to be a future.

January -  Abby Reyes (2021), third year Anthropologist at Pembroke and Interviews Editor at Varsity, who introduces our theme and talks about the different ways that intergenerationality affects the unequitable and complicated world we live in.

February - Lord Smith, Master of Pembroke, tackles the theme of Intergenerational Conflict and calls for young people to make their voices heard and rescue our broken world from elderly short-termism.

March - Dr Julia Bird (2005), Economic Consultant, argues that politics must take into account the needs of as of yet unborn generations, and make a much needed value judgement on what Economic trade-offs are needed right now in order for there to be a future.

In 2021, the Pembroke College Corporate Partnership Programme celebrated its 25th anniversary with a monthly Climate Rescue blog series, where our partners and collaborators shared their thought-leadership on climate rescue initiatives. In 2022 we continued our blog series but refocused our lens on Environmental Engagement and Leadership, and in 2023 we looked at The Future of Health. You can read our 2022 blog series, Environmental Engagement and Leadership, here and you can read our 2023 blog series, The Future of Health, here.
