It is also regularly co-hosted with other Cambridge academics, especially Helen Thompson, Professor of Political Economy in the Department of Politics and International Studies, and also Christopher Brooke, lecturer in political theory, Chris Bickerton, reader of modern European politics, and the late Aaron Rapport.
