In Spring 2024, Senior Lecturer Aasiya Lodhi chaired/hosted a series of online public education events this year for the Stuart Hall Foundation, where she is a Trustee. Reading the Crisis was an online conversation series drawing on Stuart Hall’s work to ask what tools and strategies we need in this moment. Each conversation springboarded off one of Hall’s essays to consider present-day political formations.

Designed as an online teach-in space, the series invited the public to join the following thinkers in dialogue and discussion (with Aasiya as Chair):

1. Ilan Pappé & Priyamvada Gopal on ‘The West and the Rest: Discourse and Power’ (1992)
