Cambridge Human Rights Law Society: 'The Far-Right: The Left's Fault?'

Is modern left-wing progressive politics to blame for the current rise of the far-right?

Join the Cambridge University Human Rights Law Society and Clare Politics Society for a talk by renowned human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell, best known for his decades-long work with LGBTQ+ and other global social justice movements which has shaped contemporary activism. Peter will be discussing the rising tide of the far right and why progressive politics has struggled to stem this tide and safeguard human rights in response.

The event will begin at 6pm with alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages provided, followed by a speech and Q&A session.

Location: Elton-Bowring Room, Memorial Court, Clare College (CB3 9AJ)
