Gary Younge: In Conversation
3rd July @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Join us for an illuminating conversation with Gary Younge, award-winning author, broadcaster, and Professor of Sociology at the University of Manchester. A former editor-at-large at The Guardian, Younge brings decades of journalistic insight and academic rigor to discussions on race, identity, and resistance. His latest book, Pigeonholed: Creative Freedom as an Act of Resistance, explores the power of storytelling in challenging societal constraints. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with one of the most compelling voices in contemporary journalism and social thought.
Gary will be in conversation with Professor Tim Grady, Director of the Culture and Society Research and Knowledge Exchange Institute at the University of Chester, which brings together 200 researchers with an interest in exploring and challenging the influences that have shaped, and continue to shape, our culture and society. Tim is an international scholar of twentieth century British and German history and is keen to explore through this discussion the role of the media in modern democracies and, crucially, how we can engage young people in democratic politics in such tumultuous times.
