Full event and ticket information: The road to freedom: economics and the good society
Freedom is a core human value. But few of freedom’s advocates ask what the idea really means. Whose freedom are we – should we be – thinking about? What happens when one person’s freedom comes at the expense of another’s?
Professor Claudia Goldin

Full event and ticket information: Why women won
How, when, and why did women in the US obtain legal rights equal to men’s regarding the workplace, marriage, family, Social Security, criminal justice, credit markets, and other parts of the economy and society, decades after they gained the right to vote?
Professor Esther Duflo

Returns queues
When all tickets for in-person events have been allocated we operate returns queues. This means that any seats left empty by ticketholders will be filled by those in the returns queue shortly before the start of the event. Entry via the returns queue is therefore not guaranteed. Please see individual event listings for returns queue information.
