Beyond the Backlash: Rebuilding Progressive Values and the Left

Join us at TASC's annual lecture for a powerful discussion on how we can reclaim and rebuild progressive values in the face of growing backlash.

Across many countries, far-right parties have gained ground by weaponising cultural debates and demonising the left. Their attacks - often centred on so-called ‘woke’ politics - serve to distract from real issues while pushing an antidemocratic agenda. How should the left respond?

Join us for our Annual Lecture as philosopher Susan Neiman and media innovator Mark Little engage in a thought-provoking dialogue on the future of the left. Chaired by Eamon Ryan, former Minister for the Environment, this discussion will explore how progressives can move beyond defensive politics to rebuild a movement rooted in universalism, solidarity, and justice.

📅 Date: May 27, 6:30 PM
📍 Location: Royal Irish Academy

The event will be introduced by TASC Chair Mike Jennings. Please join us for a reception following the lecture.
