Empowering Citizens Through Education and Research
The Stevenson Trust for Citizenship was founded in 1921 through a bequest from Sir Daniel Macaulay Stevenson, a Glasgow-born engineer, politician, and philanthropist.
The Trust aims to provide education on civic rights and responsibilities at local, national, and international levels, encourage research into governance and political structures, and promote the idea that local and national patriotism can coexist with international cooperation.
INTRODUCTION
The Stevenson Lectures in Citizenship were established in 1921 by a bequest to the University from Sir Daniel Macaulay Stevenson (1851 – 1944) a Glasgow-born engineer, politician and philanthropist.
Purpose of the Stevenson Trust
“... to make provision in Glasgow for instruction in the rights, duties, and obligations of citizens in relation to the city, the state, and the commonwealth of nations; to promote study, inquiry and research in subjects bearing on local government, national polity, and international community; and thereby to emphasize the compatibility of civic or local with national patriotism, and of both with full and free international co-operation.” D.M.Stevenson
