Category: Conversation
Conversations is a space for dialogue. It brings together students, academics and partners from across the DEN community to share the ideas, questions and research that matter to them. The section began during the COVID-19 pandemic, when we invited students from around the world to reflect, in writing or on video, on their experiences of studying through an extraordinary time, and to learn from one another in the process. Those reflections remain an important part of our story. Today, Conversations grows beyond the pandemic to host exchanges on the widest range of subjects: from politics and law to education, society and the questions our visiting scholars bring with them. Each piece is an invitation to think together, in the spirit of democratic, dialogue-led learning that defines DEN.
We are delighted to open this new chapter with a conversation from our tenth-anniversary programme: a written interview with Professor Horacio Gago Prialé of the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru (PUCP), reflecting on democracy in Peru, drawing on the work of Luhmann and Dahrendorf, during his visit to the University of Westminster.
