Welcome everyone.
Good evening.
Welcome everyone to the LSE.
My name's Robin Archer.
I'm the director of the Ralph Melbourne program here at the London School of Economics.
Now some of you will know the Miliband program often engages with radical and heterodox traditions and given the name of the program it's I guess unsurprising that quite frequently we deal with the past and the present and the future of socialism but far more rarely I think do we deal with the anarchist tradition and that's a shame
because from the very beginning of the socialist tradition as with the liberal tradition there's been a sometimes fraught dialogue between the anarchist tradition and socialists and liberals.
So we thought it would be good to have an event where we could think seriously about that tradition.
And no one is in a better place to help us do that than Dr Sophie Scott Brown.
Sophie is a research fellow in the Institute of Intellectual History at St Andrews University.
She's also worked at the University of East Anglia at St Anthony's College Oxford and at the Australian National University where she also did her doctoral work.
In addition, I think you're an unusual historian.
I think you sometimes describe yourself as a historian at large.
And where you find radicals, rebels and heretics in the community,
there you might find Sophie doing community history and various other forms of popular history in addition to her scholarly works.
But her scholarly works are substantial.
I won't go through all her numerous articles.
She's so far published three monographs.
