It was wonderful to kick off our semester's programme of events with a packed house to hear @maurolubrano.bsky.social speak about his new book Stop the Machines: The Rise of Anti-Technology Extremism. It's fascinating research, well worth seeking out. www.politybooks.com/bookdetail?b...

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Prof Conor Gearty KC. A brilliant scholar and true pioneer in the many fields he spoke to. The Centre benefitted greatly from his friendship and support. His generosity, wit, and deep intellect will be profoundly missed.
