Lights of Caledonia with Jesse Norman

Professor Angus Laing, Executive Dean of the School of Social Sciences and Edinburgh Business School at Heriot-Watt University introduces the third speaker of the Lights of Caledonia series, Dr Jesse Norman.

Dr. Norman begins to re-shape this common narrative and highlight Smith's other works and beliefs in moral philosophical terms. The session is followed by a stimulating chaired Q+A session to a live audience in Panmure House.
