Eluned Morgan AM will deliver a keynote speech on Brexit at Aberystwyth University on Thursday 2 March 2017.
The Labour Assembly Member for Mid & West Wales will ask whether anything positive can come out of the UK’s decision to leave the EU.
Organised by the WISERD Centre for Welsh Politics and Society (WISERD-CWPS) at Aberystwyth University, the lecture will be held at 6.30pm in the Main Hall of the Department of International Politics on Penglais Campus and is open to the public.
Professor Michael Woods from the Department of Geography and Earth Sciences is the Co-Director of WISERD-CWPS: “Over the course of the year, we are planning a series of public talks and events looking at significant issues in Welsh politics and society. Brexit raises a number of key questions for Wales and we look forward to hearing from Eluned Morgan who has extensive experience of EU governance and policy.”
