Abstract:

David Seymour had many talents, actor, painter, teacher, linguist, researcher, methodologist and organizational theorist. His first degree was in English Literature, and he was for many years an actor and teacher before he took up the study of sociology. After studying under Andre Gunther Frank in Montreal and Wes Sharrock in Manchester, he joined the School of Civil Engineering at the University of Birmingham, where he offered one of the country’s first courses in construction management.
