Jonathan Patterson (Departmental Lecturer in French), will be chairing a webinar on forms of dignity in the bureaucratic, featuring a lecture by Professor Tony Evans (Social Work, RHUL).

This webinar will be hosted by the Las Casas Institute at Blackfriars. The aim is to foster dialogue between the humanities and social sciences on the ideals and functioning of bureaucracy.

Join us online or in person for the 2022 Bingham Lecture:
'Parliament under strain: culture, norms and rule-breaking in the House of Commons since 2009'

In her lecture, Emma Crewe will reflect on the erosion of standards in parliament and examine the role played by culture in ethical decline or revival. She will ask if the rhythms of parliamentary work are too frenetic to allow for the kind of reflection and debate needed to improve moral understanding and integrity and examine how we can hold politicians to account without making their position impossible.
