Welcome to the LSE Events podcast by the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Get ready to hear from some of the most influential international figures in the social sciences.
Okay, good evening everyone and welcome to this inaugural lecture, which is a hybrid event.
So welcome both to those of you in the audience in the room and to those that are joining us online.
I'm Andrew Murray and I'm the Dean of the LSE Law School and it's my very great pleasure to co-host this event along with my colleague Professor Andreas Velasco who is the Dean of the School of Public Policy sat on your left.
So tonight we gather to celebrate the inaugural lecture of Professor Leah Epe.
who holds the Ralph Miller Band Chair in Politics and Philosophy,
a position held jointly between the Law School and the School of Public Policy.
This joint appointment reflects both the breadth of Professor Rupee's scholarship and the interdisciplinary nature of the questions that animate her work.
Questions about justice, freedom, democracy and legitimacy of political authority.
that sit at the intersection of political philosophy, legal theory and public policy.
It's therefore very fitting that Andres and I should welcome you together to this event,
representing as we do two schools that are privileged to count Professor E.P.
amongst our faculty.
So tonight, Leah will discuss our revolutions justified,
after which Andres will offer some reflections.
Afterwards, there will be a chance for you to put questions to Leah.
For our online audience you can submit your questions via the Q&A feature at the top left of your screen.
Questions will be submitted to myself.
Please let us know your name and affiliation and we're particularly keen to hear from our students and alumni so please let us know
