This book develops a novel theory of liberation that argues that freedom and domination are indissolubly intertwined, that liberation is not the precursor of freedom, but rather the process of its implementation.
The lecture will be followed by two workshops with Prof. Menke on Friday 3rd February. If you are interested in participating in these workshops, please contact Luke Edmeads.
