Pankaj Mishra: Global Conflicts, Competing Narratives

When

Thursday 27 February from 6:30pm to 7:30pm

In a timely and thought-provoking discussion, essayist and author of the soon-to-be-released The World After Gaza, Pankaj Mishra reflects on the ongoing war in Gaza, examining how competing narratives of colonialism, national identity and justice collide with tragic consequences for all.

In an evening of conversation with philosopher and Executive Director of The Ethics Centre Simon Longstaff, Mishra will delve into the historical, political and ethical forces shaping our world, the waning influence of the Global North and the role of journalism in actively constructing and distorting reality.

Engage with Mishra on the difficult questions and complex issues arising from today’s global conflicts. The Centre for Ideas invites you to ask yourself: how can we collectively build societal cohesion and resilience?
