Professor Philip Howard's Inaugural Lecture: Is Social Media Killing Democracy? Computational Propaganda, Algorithms, Automation and Public Life

A panel discussion of the result of the 2017 General Election and its implications for British politics and public policy in the next few years.

Moving beyond a focus on the regime-led political transition since 2011, this seminar explores how informal institutions generated during following the collapse of socialism in 1988 shape contemporary distributive politics.

Join an audience of civilians, military personnel, academics & non-academics alike for a public discourse on issues surrounding war. A panel of veterans and philosophers will share their varying perspectives on war and then answer questions from the audience.
