Activism and the Divided Brain
Iain McGilchrist and Anthea Lawson
Thursday 19th June 2025, 6-7.30pm UK time
FREE online event by Channel McGilchrist
A discussion between Anthea Lawson, author of The Entangled Activist and Dr Iain McGilchrist, about the implications of his thinking for our attempts to change the world.
Anthea Lawson is a campaigner and author of The Entangled Activist: Learning to recognise the master’s tools, which draws on her own experience, critical analysis and interviews with leading activists to explore how activism is entangled in the problems it seeks to solve. She has campaigned to shut down tax havens, prevent banks from facilitating corruption and environmental devastation, and control the arms trade. At Global Witness, she launched a campaign that changed the rules on secret company ownership and resulted in new laws in dozens of countries. Prior to human rights work she was a reporter at The Times.
Join this conversation which will address the challenges of working for change in a world shaped by left-hemisphere perceptions. Could greater understanding of the right hemisphere’s take on reality help us to approach the problems we face with more effectiveness?
