Very sad to hear that the philosopher Alasdair Macintyre died today aged 96. We met a few times and his work is immeasurably important to my own development.

A huge joy and enormous honour to host Paul Gilroy who gave the McDonald Centre annual lecture on Friday. It was an intellectual tour de force! And great to see such a large turn out to hear him.
