EDGE Townsend Lecture

The second in our series of EDGE Townsend Lectures will welcome Joe Hill, Policy Director at Re:State, across-party think tank working on public service reform.  The EDGE lecture series focuses on innovation, technology and change and enables our pupils to deep dive into different areas of society, business technology and more with expert speakers. We begun this year’s series with an exploration of the ethics of AI. 

Our guest speaker this time is Joe Hill who was previously a civil servant and writes a regular column for CityAM, and his work has featured in the Telegraph, the Times, the FT and the Economist. Joe will talk about working in politics, the current challenges the Government has, and how to make better policy. Examples of Joe’s work can be found here: https://jo3hill.com/research-and-writing 

This lecture will be particularly valuable for pupils studying politics, economics, business, English or maths, and anyone curious about careers in the Civil Service, politics or journalism.
