1 小时 29 分钟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.
LSE events are taking a break over the summer, so we've dug into our archives
of more than 7,000 lectures to bring you some of our favourites, including this one.
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.
Tonight, we gather to celebrate the inaugural lecture of Professor Leah Ipi,
who holds the Ralph Miliband 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 Rupi'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.
