EVENT FOR PEMBROKE COLLEGE ALUMNIAlumni Ambassadors, Eddie Leung (2016) and Jo Yan Lim (2000), are delighted to invite you to a Pembroke College Oxford Alumni Conversation with Marshall Madow (2016) on Wednesday 28 October at 6.30pm at Lim Jo Yan & Co, 50470 Kuala Lumpur.
Join fellow alumnus Marshall Madow for a talk on how the critical thinking skills and academic training he gained at Oxford and Cambridge helped prepare the journey that followed, through further historical study and into an ongoing intellectual history project: a podcast and research project titled Notions of Progress.
Marshall briefly discusses the show's central observation — that there are often multiple competing notions of progress, that extend beyond books or lecture halls, finding their way instead into universities, think tanks, and policies that govern people's lives. The talk then shines a brief spotlight on a contemporary case study: a slice of Malaysia's own progress narrative beginning in 1991, tracing a declared national ambition into the country's present balancing act between two competing global powers. Marshall closes not with a hypothesis or verdict on Malaysia, nor on progress itself, but with an invitation to discuss these ideas further together.
