On 31 July 2014 Professor David Anderson gave a public lecture at the UK Supreme Court, in London's Parliament Square. The lecture, entitled "Empire, Lawyers, and the Rule of Law", examined the role of lawyers and legal appeals in the Mau Mau Emergency in Kenya during the 1950s, using legal records, including Privy Council appeals. The lecture was at the invitation of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, to inaugurate a summer exhibit at the Supreme Court on the history of the Privy Council. The exhibition is linked to a project that has digitised the records of the Privy Council and made them available on line.

Details of the Privy Council paper can be found at http://www.privycouncilpapers.org/. The exhibit is open to the public at the Supreme Court until 24 September 2014.

Professor David Anderson presents his latest reseach on the Cold War in Africa at a guest lecture at Aberystwyth University on 12th March 2014, entitled "Cold War Counter-Insurgencies and White Supremacy in Africa, 1961-1989".
