RSA: 21st century enlightenment

From this week, RSA Fellows and observers may start to notice a new strap line appearing on our website, at our events and in our materials: ‘RSA: 21st century enlightenment’. This has emerged from a pretty extensive conversation involving RSA staff and Trustees and is based on research with Fellows and partners. We wanted something broad [...] Related posts:

Citizen Power

Progressive politics, intersubjectivity and collective action

Saturday’s Guardian featured two very good pieces. The first was Ed Miliband’s talk of ‘the power of collective action’ and ‘vision of a society where self-interest and shared interest go hand in hand – one of the first pieces from a politician or government minister to have really excited me in a while. The second [...]

Welcome to the London City Network

Welcome to the London City Network, an online space for Fellows and friends in and around London to meet, greet and share ideas with each other. Fellows often say that the thing they value most about the RSA is the chance to meet other Fellows, develop new relationships and find potential collaborators. This network is a step towards building a community of Fellows in London to support, amplify and encourage all the fantastic work people are doing together and explore new possibilities for future projects. If you have an idea or a burning issue you'd like to share, why not write it up below on the blog and see if you can find some support amongst the Fellowship.

Network development: We discussed future direction at our meeting on August 7. These's an online forum here following on issues raised.

RAFT (www.raft.ac.uk) - the charity of which I am Chief Executive - carries out pioneering medical research into treatments fo… Continue

Is the RSA facing imminent collapse?
