Description

Join us for the next instalment of our Political Mind series, featuring Philip Stokoe.

This talk explores the systemic abuse of women and children within powerful institutions, examining how cultures of silence, denial, and complicity protect perpetrators rather than victims. Drawing on psychoanalytic perspectives on power, perversion, and group psychology, Stokoe considers why such institutional failures persist – and why they may be more predictable than exceptional.
