The final talk of our online conference on Virtues in the Classroom is given by Prof. Angie Hobbs (University of Sheffield), on 'Virtues, Flourishing and Education in an Age of Uncertainty'.
Professor Angie Hobbs FRSA gained a degree in Classics and a PhD in Ancient Philosophy at the University of Cambridge.
