Public lectures
In addition to our weekly seminars, the Tasmanian School of Business and Economics hosts two annual public lectures.
Giblin Lecture Series
The Giblin Lecture, established in 1996 and presented annually in June/July in association with The Economic Society of Australia, aims to stimulate economic debate on the topics of the day. The lecture is held in honour of Lyndhurst Falkiner Giblin, a Tasmanian born economist (1872-1951), who played an important role in the evolution of economic policy making in Australia. He served as the Tasmanian government statistician and acting Commonwealth statistician, and advised on tariff and depression policies, as well as seeing active duty in the First World War. His academic positions of note include the inaugural Ritchie Chair of Economic Research at the University of Melbourne.
