VIDEO: Professor Michael Kenny - Understanding the Re-emergence of the English Question
23 December 2014
Speaker: Professor Michael Kenny
8th December 2014
In this seminar Michael Kenny, author of the recently published "The Politics of English Nationhood",
offers a longer view on the English question, exploring important
shifts in English national consciousness over the last two decades and
the politicisation of arguments about the constitution and territorial
politics more generally. Against this background, he offers a critical
perspective on current debates about West Lothian, the decentralisation
of English governance and the future balance of the union.
Michael Kenny is Director of
the Mile End Institute at Queen Mary University of London, and a
Professor in the School of Politics and International Relations. He has
published in the fields of British political ideas and party politics,
and held a Major Research Fellowship from the Leverhulme Trust from
2012-14 to work on the politics of English nationhood.
