The third Oakeshott Lecture of 2025 welcomes distinguished historian Sir Noel Malcolm to discuss the flaws and failures of human rights.
Sir Noel Malcolm FRSL FBA is Senior Research Fellow at All Souls
College, a Founding Fellow of the Pharos Foundation, and one of the country’s pre-eminent intellectual historians. He was foreign editor for The Spectator and a columnist for The Daily Telegraph before returning to academia. He is the author of twelve books, and the editor of the Clarendon edition of Thomas Hobbes’s Leviathan, for which he was awarded a British Academy medal. His latest work, Forbidden Desire in Early Modern Europe: Male-Male Sexual Desire, 1400-1750 was published by Oxford University Press in November 2023.
Sir Noel will be joined by Daniel Lord Hannan for a live discussion following the lecture.
