We are delighted to announce that the Department of Politics and International Studies (PAIS) and the Department of Economics are hosting a Warwick Question Time on the year’s hot topic of Brexit. It will take place on Monday 3rd October, 6.15-7.45pm, in Butterworth Hall. By joining together it means we can put on the biggest and best event possible and ensure PAIS students can take full advantage of the opportunity. Based on student feedback it is clear you would like more events of this kind and we are looking forwarding to starting off the 2016 academic year in such an exciting way.

The format is very similar to the popular BBC television show and it will allow an engagement with politicians, policy makers and academics.. The event will have a real PAIS flavour, with PAIS providing both one of the panellists and the Chair.

The panellists will be:

• LT Col Tony Shaffer, highly experienced intelligence officer
• Hazel Blears, former Labour Cabinet Minister
• Suzanne Evans, Board Member of Vote Leave and Former Spokesperson for UKIP
• Wyn Grant, Former Head of PAIS and distinguished political scientist and Professor
• Dennis Novy - Associate Professor of Economics

The Panel will be Chaired by Shirin Rai, Professor in PAIS, and co-lead of Warwick’s Global Research Priority Programme on International Development.
