Part III in a three-part series called The Rights and Justice City: Hope, History and Being Humane, this public dialogue tackles an important issue in an open forum. On 23rd June 2016, the UK voted to exit the EU. This referendum sparked a flurry of political changes in the government and a sharp rise in hate crimes reported to the police. Suddenly the UK has to confront questions of equality, tolerance and hate. Does the marked rise in hate crimes signal a new age of intolerance? How should the UK engage with questions of race and rights in the Age of Brexit? How should the city of ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½? Although they will raise recommendations, the speaker will challenge everyone to consider our responsibility for living, humanely, in our post-referendum world. We’ll hear from Professor Todd Landman, Pro-Vice Chancellor for the Faculty of Social Sciences at the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ and an expert on human rights and justice.
Hosted by the Research Priority Area in Rights and Justice (ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½), the Centre for Research in Race and Rights (University of ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½) and the Galleries of Justice, in collaboration with the exhibition Journey to Justice: ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½.
