<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Professor '''Peter S. Meadows''' is an Honorary Lecturer in the Institute of Biomedical and Life Sciences at The [[University of Glasgow]].<br /> <br /> Along with his wife, [[Dr Azra Meadows]], he has carried out extensive work of an environmental, cultural and educational nature in [[Pakistan]], and in 2005 was awarded the Sitara-i-Quaid-i-Azam (Star of the Great Leader), the highest civilian medal of that country, for services to [[Pakistan]].<br /> <br /> Professor Peter Meadows and [[Dr Azra Meadows]] are the editors of ''The Glasgow Naturalist'', the annual publication of [[The Glasgow Natural History Society]].<br /> <br /> == Cultural Initiatives ==<br /> <br /> Amongst the projects in which Professor Peter Meadows and [[Dr Azra Meadows]] have played a significant role is the [[Connecting Futures]]:Student Dialogues programme.<br /> <br /> Conceived by the [[Foreign and Commonwealth Office]] and the [[British Council]], the aim of the initiative was to foster an understanding between the cultural backgrounds of students from the UK and those of Muslim countries, as part of which a delegation of sixteen students from the UK - four from The [[University of Glasgow]], four from the [[University of Edinburgh]], four from the [[University of Warwick]] and four from [[Cardiff University]] - visited [[Pakistan]] in 2005.<br /> <br /> The Meadows, as well as facilitating the preparations for the delegation of Glasgow students - comprised of [[Anna Chiumento]], [[Gary Sergeant]], [[Zoe Nisbet]] and [[Tommy Ga-Ken Wan]] - have ensured that the value, purpose and success of the initiative is not forgotten. This has been done by arranging and assisting the students from [[Glasgow University]] to deliver, on several occasions, a lecture entitled ''Bridging the Divide: Myths and Realities'', describing their experiences in Pakistan and their impact. At the invitation of Dr [[Maliha Lodhi]], the High Commissioner of Pakistan to the United Kingdom, the lecture was delivered in September 2005 to an audience at the High Commission of Pakistan in London.<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> <br /> *[http://www.gla.ac.uk/ibls/Biosed/main.htm Glasgow University Biosedimentology Unit]<br /> *[http://www.gnhs.freeuk.com/ Glasgow Natural History Society]</div>
