Speaker: Saskia Sassen is Professor, Columbia University and co-chairs its Committee on Global Thought. Her new book is Expulsions: When complexity produces elementary brutalities. (Harvard University Press 2014). The new speaker series brings together film-makers, writers, journalists and academics to tell stories about law, politics, gender and development in the global south, and the 'south in the north'. Confirmed speakers include: Jose Antonio Ocampo (economics); Rajeev Bhargava (political theory); Akeel Bilgrami (philosophy); Partha Chatterjee (political theory/history); Ken Loach (filmmaker), Saskia Sassen (sociology), and Richard Sennett (sociology). After an extremely successful inaugural season, the series continues this term with a focus on land, labour and cities. Co-organisers: Antara Haldar (Faculty of Law, University of Cambridge, ah447@cam.ac.uk, via Twitter @antarahaldar) and Diamond Ashiagbor (School of Law, SOAS, da40@soas.ac.uk).
