Meet with Tim Sinclair

Refreshments provided.

Join us as international journalist Shanthini Naidoo launches and talks to her latest book, 'Women in Solitary, Inside the South African Female Resistance to apartheid', which offers a new account based around the narratives of four women who experienced detention and torture in South Africa in the late 1960s when the regime tried to stage a trial to convict leading anti-apartheid activists. The event will be Chaired by Professor Azrini Wahidin, University of Warwick.

If you cannot attend in person there is an online option available.

As part of their Human Rights in Practice module, four students will be running a workshop entitled ‘So You Think You Can Drink?’ in partnership with Alcohol Change UK. The workshop will be interactive and informative about safe drinking practices for students.

The aim is not to discourage drinking or to put a dampener on socials; the project's mission is to increase students' abilities to recognise dangerous drinking habits. The workshop will include activities to encourage attendees to reflect on how they might make social events safer and more enjoyable for everyone.

The Department of Economics is delighted to welcome Meredith A. Crowley as our next 360 Guest Lecture speaker for the 2021/22 academic year.
