Foundations

LSE Space for Thought Literary Festival 2015

LSE’s 7th Literary Festival explored the foundations of knowledge, society, identity and literature, as well as those of LSE itself in our 120th year. We reflected on some of the important anniversaries taking place in 2015, whilst also celebrating an idea at the heart of LSE, encapsulated in our motto, "to understand the causes of things".
