ROBERT OWEN COMMEMORATION LECTURE
Friday 16 May, at 7 for 7.30pm
Lecture by Dr Ian Donnachie - Robert Owen of New Lanark. Reputations and Burning Issues?
One hundred and fifty years after Robert Owen's death in 1858 his legend lives on. During the ages of industry, enlightenment and reform his achievements as a social thinker and reformer were undisputed, but varied in impact and often controversial. This lecture looks at his reputation(s) and addresses some of the big questions that remain to be answered. One thing is sure - more and more keeps turning up about David Dale, Robert Owen and New Lanark, so we may get more answers and surely provoke questions in future.
Dr Ian Donnachie is Reader of History at The Open University in Scotland, vice chair of Friends of New Lanark, and author of 'Robert Owen - Social Visionary', available from our online shop.
The lecture will take place in Robert Owen's School for Children. To book a place, please e-mail: lorna.davidson@newlanark.org or phone New Lanark Conservation Trust on 01555 661345.
