Christmas Social
’Tis the season to be merry, so get yourself down to the Crown and Kettle for beverages and conversation at our Annual Christmas Social. There may even be a quiz.
What are the lessons of history (and will we ever actually learn them)?
It is now almost inevitable that the Nazis will appear as a cautionary example in any political discussion and yet this year has seen the rise to prominence of groups which openly share many of their beliefs and even borrow their symbols. It appears that knowing about the past is not the same as learning from history. Historian Victoria Stiles asks if it is reasonable to expect history to teach us anything at all.
Social and thINK Book Launch
We've moved our November social to a Wednesday, and to Kim By The Sea in Hulme, for the launch of thINK: an Arsenal of Incendiary Cartoon Skepticism.
The Spectrum of Violence
