Alec Rodger memorial lectures
Since 1983, the Alec Rodger Memorial Lecture has been held annually. It is funded by the T. Richie Rodger Research Fund, which is managed by the British Psychological Society. This fund was set up by Alec Rodger, the first Professor of Occupational Psychology at Birkbeck, in memory of his father.
Speakers are invited by the Department of Organizational Psychology, and are chosen on the basis of a distinguished record as an academic, in public service or in commerce.
