> You are invited to a lecture by Mary Douglas, one of the world’s
> most eminent social scientists and anthropologists. Mary has
> influenced the world of policy as well as
>
> academia over the last 40 years on issues as diverse as risk,
> social conflict, consumption and pollution, through classic books
> such as ‘The World of Goods’, ‘How Institutions Think’ and ‘Purity
> and Danger’. Mary was honoured in 2007’s New Year Honours list.
> Mary will be speaking about small groups, their problems of
> internal organisation, and their tendency to solve them by violence
> against outsiders. The implications for terrorist groups are
> complex – not obvious, but nonetheless relevant to current concerns.
