Director General’s Welcome
Welcome to the John Locke Institute’s 2024 Public Policy Symposium.
It is my great pleasure to invite you to join us for an intellectual adventure that will challenge what you think, and how you think, about a range of interesting and important questions. The topics we discuss will be matters of great consequence for many people, and the insights you acquire and the skills that you develop will, I hope, prepare you to play your own part in the years to come in changing our world for the better. I hope you will also begin to build friendships with some remarkable and interesting people.
To prepare for this enterprise, let me ask you to open your mind to the possibility that there is still much to learn and perhaps even a few things to unlearn. Intellectual humility coupled with a spirit of bold adventure will enable you to make the most of the exciting opportunities you are about to meet.
Best wishes,
Martin Cox Director General
