The History of the EU: a conversation with Professor Dermot Hodson

Professor Hodson will talk about the history of the European Union and the European project. Based on his recently released book: Circle of Stars A history of the EU and the people who made it.

Marking 30 years since the creation of the EU this talk is bound to be interesting both to those who are interested in the past of the Union as well as the lessons to be learnt for the future.

Having joined the University of Oxford and DPIR as a student reading for an MPhil in Politics (European Politics & Society) at the beginning of Michaelmas Term 2023, I am currently researching Euroscepticism and its effects on vote choice under the supervision of Tarik Abou-Chadi. More broadly, I am interested in political behaviour, elections and political trust across Europe.

Prior to my studies at Oxford, I was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in Politics by the Department of Government at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).

I'm a second-year MPhil candidate in Politics (Political Theory) at the DPIR, with a focus on silencing and self-censorship within debates on free speech and analytic feminist thought. More broadly, my interests extend to conceptual engineering, (un)civil disobedience, and political epistemology.

Before coming to Oxford, I graduated with a first-class BA in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics from the University of Warwick.
