Tue, 5/4, 10:30 am -- George Orwell: A Political Life -- George Orwell's work has experienced a resurgence in the post-truth era—but has his writing been unfairly co-opted by the political Right? To use the term ‘Orwellian’ is to invoke ideas of dystopia and authoritarianism, the intrusive state, and falsification of history, ‘fake news’, repression and manipulation --- Contrary to claims by some on the political Right, Dr. Alan Sennett will argue that understanding Orwell’s commitment to a form of socialist democracy is fundamental to appreciating his world view and, hence, his writings.-- Dr. Sennett took an MA in Political Sociology at Leeds University and obtained a PhD from Manchester University. He works for the Open University and Liverpool University and his main areas of research and and publication concern the Left in the Spanish Civil War and film propaganda:
