Join us in welcoming Professor Barbara Adam for the third talk in our Meddwl am y Dyfodol | Futures Thinking lecture series.
Barbara Adam, PhD, DScEcon, FASS and FLSW, is Emerita Professor at Cardiff University’s School of Social Sciences where she has built her academic career from mature student to professor of social theory.
The social temporal has been her primary intellectual project, resulting in five research monographs and a large number of articles in which she sought to bring time to the center of social science analysis. This focus facilitated a unique social theory, whose relevance transcends disciplines and is taught across the Arts and the Humanities as well as the Social and Environmental Sciences.
On the basis of this work, she has been awarded two book prizes as well as numerous theory-based research grants and fellowships. She is founding editor of the journal Time & Society.
