On Wednesday 2 November 2022, the University of Oxford hosted Taoiseach Micheál Martin T.D., Prime Minister of Ireland to deliver its annual Romanes Lecture at the Sheldonian Theatre.
The public lecture entitled ‘The Centre Will Hold: Liberal Democracy and the Populist Threat’ touched upon the foundations for liberal democracy that have been threatened in recent years within many long-established democracies and international organisations. A period defined by some scholars as a ‘democratic recession’ has raised important questions about the ability of centrist politics to prevail over emboldened populism.
The Romanes Lecture features a distinguished public figure from the arts, science or literature is invited by special invitation of the Vice-Chancellor. The lecture was created in 1891, following an offer by George John Romanes of Christ Church to fund an annual lecture, and the first lecture was given in 1892 by William Gladstone.
