Speakers AC Grayling Philosopher, author, Discriminations: Making peace in the culture wars, and many more, Principal of Northeastern University London, and its Professor of Philosophy Esther Anatolitis (host) Editor, arts and culture advocate, leader, commentator, author, When Australia Became a Republic, former Meanjin editor
