Barry Clarke is the Managing Director of the Asia Pacific HQ of Tylor & Francis (founded in 1798), one of the largest academic publishers in the world. Mr Clarke studied Natural Sciences at Pembroke College, University of Cambridge. He is currently spearheading a campaign to create and erect a life-size bronze statue in Singapore of the great naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913)
For this Fellow’s tea, Barry Clarke will bring the publishing world to life by comparing and contrasting the profession as it was in the mid 19th century when Alfred Russel Wallace and Charles Darwin were publishing their seminal biological work to the crazy situation in which we now find ourselves where anyone can ‘publish’ anything on the web for free.
