Professor Robyn Eckersley from the University of Melbourne delivered the lecture titled ‘Frozen Out? Political Science in a Heating World’ which was Chaired by Emma Vardy. Biographies for our brilliant speaker and Chair can be found below.

This lecture draws out what was at stake at COP26 in Glasgow against the backdrop of the larger civilisational challenge of global heating. It offers some reflections on the impact and role of political science and what it has to offer in the face of this challenge.

Professor Eckersley’s lecture was followed by a Q&A session.
