One upcoming talk that may be of particular interest to Canadians in Oxford is being given by Michael Ignatieff in the hall of Wolfson College this Thursday. The talk is the annual Isaiah Berlin lecture, and it is on the topic “Political Judgement: Theory versus Practice.”
Ignatieff is one of the most well known Canadian academics, as well as a recent contender for leader of the federal Liberal Party, so I suspect this talk will attract a fair bit of attention. It starts at 6:00pm.
One of his books – Blood and Belonging – was mentioned here before.
It is time to upgrade to WordPress 2.2.
He also is the narrator of a fabulous film on genocide that plays at London’s International War Museum…I have the transcript for it somewhere…. (random info for you)
As a standing rule, random info is much appreciated.
