On Monday, 7 March 2022 the University will welcome David Wengrow FBA, Professor of Comparative Archaeology at University College London.

The lecture, titled ƵFor an anthropology and archaeology of freedomƵ will draw on Professor WengrowƵs collaboration with the late Professor David Graeber. The lecture will argue the importance of an ethnography of freedom to the foundations of anthropology.

Professors Wengrow and Graeber recently co-authored the New York Times bestselling ƵThe Dawn of Everything: A New History of HumanityƵ.

The public lecture will be followed by an audience Q+A and a drinks reception, all hosted at Alliance Manchester Business School. Tickets are available to book online:
