Roger Scruton Memorial Lectures: Katharine Birbalsingh on Education, Race and Conservatism
In Conversation with Helena Morrissey and Marie Daouda
Sir Roger Scruton (1944-2020) was one of the most distinguished polymaths of modern times. His work ranged over philosophy, music and aesthetics to politics, religion and law. This annual series of free public lectures will honour his legacy by inviting eminent public intellectuals to speak on four topics of civilisational importance.
