Join us for an evening with Professor Lea Ypi.
About this Event

This event features a conversation with Lea Ypi on her new book . In the novel, Ypi explores what it means to live without dignity in a world marked by deep inequalities, political upheaval, tyranny, and moral compromise. Moving between philosophy, history, auto-ethnography, and personal family stories, Indignity asks how systems of power shape our sense of worth and what it would take to challenge them, individually and collectively.

Bringing a blend of personal family stories and larger societal questions, Ypi invites readers to rethink the relationship between freedom, justice, and human dignity. This event will offer a unique opportunity to engage with these critical themes and provides an insight to how Albania and Albanian Studies contribute to these conversations.

The event is organized by the UCL SSEES Southeast European Studies seminar series and co-sponsored by the Anglo-Albanian Association.
