Walking with our MSc Political Theory students from Hampstead to Highgate for some time to socialise and visit the cemetery. @brunoleipold.bsky.social said a few words about Marx's final resting place. And Sarah Goff introduced us to Claudia Jones, next to Marx.

@maxkrahe.bsky.social in conversation with @brunoleipold.bsky.social, talking about careers in think tanks, non-ideal theory, political theory in policy-making, and how political change is made. Fascinating stuff, with great contributions from our MSc and PhD students in @lsegovernment.bsky.social.
