AUR honored the memory of its late Professor, James Walston, with a lecture by AUR Visiting Professor of Political Theory in the International Relations and Global Politics Program, Dr. Matt Qvortrup: "The Rise (and Fall) of Demagogues".
Before the lecture, President Richard Hodges sat down to talk to Dr. Qvortrup. The free flowing discussion ranged across a host of related topics touching on demagogues, ancient Romans, Angela Merkel, Brexit, American literature, Russia ... and more.
