SUMMARY:Chilling Effects: Repression\, Conformity\, and Power in the Digital Age
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Jon Penney explores key themes from his new book Chilling Effects:  Repression\, Conformity\, and Power in the Digital Age (Cambridge University Press\, 2025)\, which examines the increasing weaponization of surveillance\, censorship\, and new technology to repress and control us. With corporations\, governments\, and extremists employing big data\, artificial intelligence\, FRT\, cyber-mobs\, and other technological threats to limit our rights and freedoms\, concerns about chilling effects—or how these activities deter us from exercising our rights—have become urgent. Penney draws on law\, privacy theory\, and social science to present a new conformity theory that highlights the dangers of chilling effects and their potential to erode democracy and enable a more illiberal future.  Following the book’s urgent and timely message\, he sheds light on the repressive and conforming effects of technology\, state\, and corporate power and offers a roadmap of how to respond to their weaponization today and tomorrow. \nSpeaker: Jon Penney \nJon Penney is a legal scholar and social scientist at Osgoode Hall Law School\, York University\, Toronto\, where he is an Associate Professor and holds the York Research Chair in Artificial Intelligence\, Data Governance\, and the Law. He is also a Faculty Associate at Harvard’s Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society and Senior Research Fellow at the University of Toronto’s Citizen Lab. His award-winning research on privacy\, technology\, and human rights has received national and international attention\, including coverage in the Washington Post\, the New York Times\, Reuters International\, The Guardian\, and Le Monde\, among others\, and has been profiled in WIRED and Harvard Magazine. \nThis talk is open to the public and will operate on a first-come\, first-served basis. \n

SUMMARY:The national interest: politics after globalisation
DESCRIPTION:How can I attend? \nAttend Online: Register Here \nAttend in-person: Register Here  \nIf you have a query see our Events FAQ or email events@lse.ac.uk. \nAre the politics of national interest making a comeback in the multipolar world after the end of globalisation? What is the national interest and why did it get forgotten at the end of the 20th century? Does the idea offer a way out of the impasse afflicting politics in the 21st century? \nSince the USA under Donald Trump turned to pursuing an openly ‘America First’ agenda in trade and foreign policy\, and his Secretary of State recognised that we are now living in a multipolar world\, everyone else has been forced to start thinking about their own country’s national interest. This is however an unfamiliar way of thinking about politics. During the previous 30 years of globalisation\, the idea of the national interest fell into disuse. Politics was organised around global questions of trade and financial markets\, human rights and climate change\, democratisation and the War on Terror. National identities were displaced by cultural\, religious or personal identities\, national interests by international agreements and global governance regimes. \nOur panel of three experts will discuss whether there really is such a thing as the national interest\, whether it really is back\, who decides what it is\, and what effects thinking in terms of national interest may have on politics both within individual states and between them. \nMeet our speakers and chair \nPhilip Cunliffe is Associate Professor in International Relations at University College London. He is the author of The National Interest: Politics After Globalization (2025).

He writes regularly for Unherd\, and co-founded the podcast Bungacast. \nAnand Menon is Professor of European Politics and Foreign Affairs at King’s College London. He is the Director of UK In A Changing Europe\, the think tank communicating social scientific research on Brexit and the Brexit process to non-academic audiences. He is an associate fellow of Chatham House and Senior Associate member of Nuffield College\, Oxford. His books include Brexit and British Politics (2017); The European Union: Integration and Enlargement (2016); and European Politics (2007). \nHelen Thompson is Professor of Political Economy at Cambridge University.
