Fireside Chat with Lord Peter Mandelson
Join Oxford University International Relations Society for a fascinating talk with Lord Peter Mandelson (St Catherine’s), Co-founder and President of Global Counsel. Lord Mandelson will share valuable insights on topics related to British foreign policy under the Labour government as well as how UK higher education may foster cooperation in contemporary international politics between powers major and minor.

Lord Mandelson’s talk draws from his extensive experiences as the former European Commissioner for Trade (2004-08) and First Secretary of State for Prime Minister Gordon Brown (2009-10). He has also served as Labour’s Director of Communications in the late 1980s. The long and distinguished career has led Lord Mandelson back to the University of Oxford, where he is now the Labour Party’s candidate for the position of Chancellor in the upcoming election.

This event is open to all students, staff, and alumni of the University of Oxford. Pre-registration on Eventbrite is strongly recommended. Members of Oxford University International Relations Society are cordially invited to a drink reception prior to the event.
