About
This spring, UEA Live welcomes Lyndsey Stonebridge. Stonebridge will be in conversation with Rachel Potter about her latest work We Are Free to Change the World: Hannah Arendt's Lessons in Love and Disobedience. With social injustice so prominent and geopolitics inflecting to the right and far right, never has a vocabulary of resistance and freedom been so necessary.
The event will be followed by a drinks reception and author book signing.
