Event poster, click to enlarge
With the rise of asymmetric warfare, does the traditional understanding of Just War theory work in the 21st century? Does human rights legislation have a place on the battlefield? And has secularisation undermined the moral substructure of the British army?
Giles Fraser lectures on ethics and leadership at the Defence Academy at Shrivenham. He is a frequent contributor to Radio 4’s Thought For The Day and the former canon chancellor of St Paul’s Cathedral, London.
With lectures on four consecutive evenings, why not come for the week and enjoy being just steps away from Salisbury Cathedral?
While you’re here, you can enjoy Sarum’s delicious meals, specialist library and bookshop. Contact Alison Ogden for programme and accommodation details.
Price £24 series of four; £7 per lecture
I am a PhD student specializing in asymmetric warfare at Wayne State University in Michigan. I am additionally an adjunct professor of World Politics at Saginaw Valley State University, also in Michigan. I am most interested in attending the lectures you offer and would like to know more about them.
Delighted by your interest, James.
