Event details
The Runnymede Race Debate 2011
30 March 2011
Over the past two months government discourse has turned from challenging racial inequalities to encouraging greater integration. Prospect Magazine argued in late 2010 that we need to move on from talking about racism. Are they right? We ask is race no longer a significant disadvantage?
To debate the motion, we have secured two stellar teams who will attempt to sway the floor with both their intellectual prowess and oratory skills.
On the proposition:
- David Goodhart (Founder and Former Editor, Prospect Magazine)
- Dr. Tony Sewell (Director, Generating Genius)
On the opposition:
- Joseph Harker (Assistant Comment Editor, the Guardian)
- Afua Hirsch (Legal Affairs Correspondent, the Guardian)
Moderating these teams and the floor's comments will be:
- Razia Iqbal (Special Correspondent/Presenter, BBC News)
30 March, 2011, 18:30 – 22:00, BT Tower
We regret that this event is invite only but the debate is being filmed and will be available to watch in due course.
