We were thrilled to have a full house for a roundtable with Dr Megan Donaldson (UCL), Prof George Galindo (Brasília & Simon Visiting Prof), & Prof Nehal Bhuta (Edinburgh), chaired by Dr Justina Uriburu (Manchester), on transparency, secrecy, & who governs in a changing order.

This program offers the University of Manchester community valuable opportunities to engage with Professor Galindo’s wide-ranging academic and professional perspectives. @uomsoss

As a result of Professor George Galindo’s visit, the @MILC_UoM will host a series of events focused on governance during times of intersecting crises, the importance of alternative normative orders, and career pathways in international law.
