To what extent do the politics of Brexit and of President Trump affect human rights? Polarized debates about UK, European, and US politics and society have seen different anxieties expressed, and rival futures advocated. In this public discussion, two of the world’s leading thinkers consider the continuities, complexities, and transformations involved in what some have seen as a new era of western politics.

Speakers:

Chris McCrudden FBA, Professor of Human Rights and Equality Law, Queen’s University Belfast

Onora O’Neill FBA, Baroness O’Neill of Bengarve, University of Cambridge
