Episode 10: Britain in the world, higher education, political discourses, and public service
This episode is hosted by Professor Ian Pace, Professor of Music, Culture and Society, with guests Professor Charles Lees, Dean of the School of Policy and Global Affairs, and Professor Michael Ben-Gad, Professor of Economics. They discuss the aftermath of the US Presidential Debate and the implications of the US election for a new British government, how the new prevalence of social media affects the political public sphere, and the impact of J.K. Rowling’s intervention in the election, expressing doubts about supporting Labour because of their equivocal views on biology versus self-identified gender. Then they are joined by special guest Professor Sir Anthony Finkelstein, President of City. They discuss the situation for higher education and what this will mean for a new government, the relationship between academic political discourse and that witnessed during the election campaign, the role of public service when politicians and others face threats, and defence imperatives in the face of rising world threats.
