Sovereignties of Birmingham, 1pm, Sunday 19 November

It was one of the most searched words on Google last year, but what exactly is sovereignty? Is it taking back control? Is it legitimacy? Is it philosophy? How does it shape our local and national history, past, present and future? Join us for a talk and lively discussion with researchers, students and local societies to explore this topical notion through the lens of Birmingham, the city where Theresa May gave her 2016 Brexit speech in support of reclaiming sovereignty from the EU.

Birmingham MAC Randle Studio, Cannon Hill Park, Birmingham B12 9QH
