Simon Glendinning, Professor of European Philosophy and Head of Department at the European Institute of the London School of Economics, explores the rich and often complicated relationship between Britain and Europe in his talk "Europe: The View from Britain – A Politico-Philosophical Exploration of European Identity and Britishness." Looking beyond Brexit headlines, Glendinning asks how Britain’s story has been shaped by its closeness to, and distance from, Europe. Blending political reflection with deeper questions about culture and identity, the talk invites the audience to think afresh about what it means to be British, European, or both.
