“Humanities after Brexit and Trump”. Department of English Studies. University of London.

The last year has seen a profound shift in the realities of the current world order. Both UK and US electorates have taken decisions with profound implications for how nations will function. All is in flux, from economics to freedom of movement to climate change responses. New alliances will form; old alliances will break apart. Social media will continue to profoundly influence the dissemination of knowledge as well as its distortion.
The Reading Group will discuss the impact of these and other profound shifts on persons working to advance their own understanding in such fields as post-colonial studies, modern languages, human rights, literature, classical studies, legal studies, history and philosophy.
