Dear Cambridge Alumni in Canberra, The Oxford and Cambridge Societies of the ACT are delighted to invite you to our end of year event for members and their guests, with sparkling wine, soft drinks, and canapés by the pool. Our Guest Speaker is Professor Tina Dacin.

About Professor Tina Dacin. 

Professor Dacin holds appointments as Fellow, Centre for Social Innovation at the Judge Business School, Cambridge and Visiting Fellow at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge as well as the Stephen J.R. Smith Chair of Strategy and Organizational Behavior at Smith School of Business, Queen’s University, Canada.  Her research interests include AI and social impact; social entrepreneurship; and traditions, place, and institutions.  

Professor Dacin is visiting Canberra in late October/early November 2023 and has kindly agreed to speak to us about her research into dining hall traditions at Cambridge.  This will provide us with a fascinating insight into how these traditions reflect the British class system.  The new President of the Oxford Society of the ACT, Emeritus Professor John Carver, will attend the event and introduce Professor Dacin.
