Hutchison will appear with Nobel Prize winners in Portugal

Sociologist Ray Hutchison, professor of Urban and Regional Studies, has been invited to speak at the Fórum do Futuro hosted by the Câmara do Porto (the municipality of Porto, Portugal). Other speakers at the Forum of the Future includes a number of other internationally known architects, artists and scientists, including the American artist Bob Wilson, architects (and Prtizker Architecture Prize winners) Jean Nouvel and Rafael Moneo, and two Nobel Prize winners in chemist Aaron Ciechanover and molecular biologist and DNA pioneer James Watson. The forum will be held in November at the Biblioteca Municipal Almeida Garrett in the Oporto Cristal Palace Gardens. In an effort “to bring the forum activities back to the everyday,” Hutchison’s talk will be titled a sociologia do futuro (Sociology of the Future).
