After the Landslide

What’s on offer?

This event will bring together leading academic experts, activists, and thought leaders to reflect on the big challenges facing UK and devolved politicians over the coming quarter century. The event will take the form of a panel, with invited speakers offering a series of short provocations to spark discussion within the panel, and encourage the audience to think broadly about the topics at hand. Attendees should expect to hear from experts on the major environmental, political, and technological challenges facing politicians, policymakers, and civil society in the coming decade.

Speakers:

• Dr Mark Wong, University of Glasgow (Governments, AI and AI Bias)
• Professor Murray Leith, University of West of Scotland (Chair)
• Talat Yaqoob FRSE, Independent Consultant and Researcher (Tackling Systemic Inequality) 
• Dr Sandra Engstrom, University of Stirling (Society and the Climate Crisis)

In this in-person event, panelists will offer a series of short and snappy provocations in their respective areas of expertise, followed by a panel discussion. We will then turn it over to the audience for Q&A. Tea, coffee, and biscuits will be available on arrival.
