To mark ARK's 20th anniversary the seminar ‘Is the UK stronger or weaker after 20 years of devolution’ will take place on Wednesday 19 February, from 3.00 – 5.30pm in the Isdell Courtyard, Riddel Hall.

In this talk, Professor Sir John Curtice (University of Strathclyde and political commentator) will assess how the constitutional preferences and sense of national identity of people living in England, Scotland and Wales have evolved since the advent of devolution in 1999, and whether this suggests the last twenty years have witnessed a strengthening or a weakening of the foundations upon which the devolution settlement now rests.

Dr Katy Hayward (Queen's University Belfast) will explore the changing patterns of devolution and identity in Northern Ireland during this time.

The event is free and all are welcome.
