The Future of Britain and Europe [Audio]


Speaker(s): Professor Simon Hix | With the countdown to a likely In/Out Referendum on the UK’s membership of the European Union, Professor Hix will discuss possible options for the reform of Britain’s relationship with the EU and the likely long-term consequences for the UK and the EU of a Yes or a No vote. This event marks the inaugural Harold Laski Chair at LSE, created to commemorate the former LSE professor and one of Britain’s most prominent socialists, who taught at the School from 1926 until his death in 1950. Simon Hix (@simonjhix) joined the LSE faculty in 1997, having studied as an undergraduate at the School in 1987-1990, and was promoted to Professor in 2005. He is the first holder of the Harold Laski Chair.

Simon regularly gives evidence to committees in the House of Commons, House of Lords, and the European Parliament, and was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 2011.
