We're delighted to introduce our Food for Thought series!
This is your opportunity to share a two-course lunch in the Senior Dining Room with a member of the IR faculty and discuss an article or piece of content that will be sent around in advance.
These small lunches are limited to just twelve attendees - six undergraduates and six postgraduates - meaning you have the opportunity to discuss your ideas and the academic’s research interests in much greater detail than you otherwise might.
As places are limited, you need to register to attend.
Please note that if you register for Food for Thought, you must give at least 24 hours notice if you will not be able to attend. If you do not give us notice, and fail to attend the event on the day, you will be deprioritised in registering for future events within the department.
Special edition:
Dr Mathias Koenig-Archibugi and Professor Luis Cabrera
Wednesday 5 March 1.00-2.30pm
President's Dining Room, 5th Floor, Old Building
Join Dr Mathias Koenig-Archibugi, Associate Professor (Reader), and Professor Luis Cabrera, Professor of Political Science in the School of Government and International Relations, Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia. They will be discussing research surrounding Dr Koenig-Archibugi's The Universal Republic: A Realistic Utopia? and whether a democratic world state is a feasible and desirable solution to the problem of establishing effective and just governance on the planet we share.
