Ludgate Lecture with Eric Kaufmann

Join us on the Thursday 5th February 2026 for our next Ludgate Lecture, a virtual series with interactive Q&A, where we hear from prominent thinkers and decision-makers on the biggest issues of our time.

Eric Kaufmann is Professor of Politics at The University of Buckingham and Director of the Centre for Heterodox Social Science. He is the author of Taboo: How Making Race Sacred Produced a Cultural Revolution (Forum Press/Bombardier Books, 2024) and Whiteshift: Immigration, Populism and the Future of White Majorities (Penguin, 2018).

During this lecture, he will speak to Bright Blue about peak about “What comes after Woke?”, and how meta-critical theory could (re)shape the post-progressive political landscape.
