📢 The Lincoln Institute of Advanced Studies would like to invite you to the Inaugural Lecture of Rico Isaacs, Professor of International Politics

Details of the lecture are as follows:
📅 Wednesday 25th June 2025
⏰ 18:00 – 19:00 (registration from 17:30)
📍 Ross Lucas Medical Sciences Building, LMS0005

Professor Rico Isaacs challenges the common view that the rise of global populism stems from the 2008 financial crisis. Instead, he argues that the roots lie in the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Drawing on two decades of research into post-Soviet authoritarianism, including studies of political parties, parliaments, personality cults, cinema, and hipsters, Professor Isaacs identifies six lessons from former Soviet republics to explain today's populist politics. He contends that strategies used by post-Soviet regimes are now being adopted by populists in established democracies, and emphasises the need for resilience tools to protect democracy.

📢 The Lincoln Institute of Advanced Studies would like to invite you to the Inaugural Lecture of Anna Tarrant, Professor of Sociology

Details of the lecture are as follows:
📅 Wednesday 26th March 2025
⏰ 18:00 – 19:00 (registration from 17:30)
📍 Minerva Building, MB0312

Men often face exclusion as fathers and caregivers, despite growing efforts to be more involved. Anna’s research explores how social welfare and policy systems hinder men’s participation in caregiving, especially in low-income families. Through innovative methods, Anna is driving change by engaging fathers, professionals, and policymakers to address this exclusion and promote gender equality.

The Lincoln Institute of Advanced Studies is delighted to invite you to the inaugural lecture of Professor Simon Lilley, Director of Research – Lincoln International Business School.
Representation, As If It Mattered

Throughout his career, Simon has been interested in the ways in which we use representational artefacts such as budgets, plans, strategies, models, and policies, to bring the ‘there and then’ into the ‘here and now’ to better orchestrate and enhance our collective performance. Simon will look back on this work to draw out the costs and benefits of working within such a representational economy, paying particular attention to the key role of academic freedom as a vital check and balance on the processes described.
Details of the lecture are as follows:

Date: Wednesday 28th February 2024
Time: 18:00 – 19:00 (registration from 17:30)
Location: Stephen Langton Building, SLB0006.
