Join President Duque for a presentation of his new book 'Strength and Truth', followed by an interactive panel discussion moderated by Professor Karthik Ramanna. In a time marked by uncertainty, polarisation, and technological revolution, 'Strength and Truth' invites readers to reflect on the future of humanism.
In this new work, President Iván Duque Márquez engages in insightful conversations with leading Oxford thinkers, including Paul Collier, Peter Frankopan, Ngaire Woods, Myles Allen, Karthik Ramanna, and Michael Wooldridge, as well as emerging voices shaping today’s global debates.
Together they explore essential questions about leadership, ethics, democracy, science, art, and humanity’s role in an age of rapid change. Rather than offering answers, these dialogues encourage reflection and inspire a search for a more humane future.
The event is followed by a drinks reception and short signing.
