The event will be held at Waterstones Aberystwyth on Wednesday 13th May at 7pm.The term "culture wars" has taken centre stage in British social and political discourse, characterized by deep divides over values, identity, and sovereignty. These conflicts, driven by class and emancipatory struggles, continue to evolve, highlighting critical divisions over issues such as Brexit, Scottish independence, and attitudes toward the monarchy.Nick Hubble reframes the debate, demonstrating how British culture wars are both unique and interconnected with broader global trends. They explore how cultural divisions shaped British society over the past century, challenging the pervasive narrative of British exceptionalism. Drawing on sources like the British Social Attitudes surveys, political studies, and even literary works such as those by George Orwell, the book traces the legacy of social liberalization and the authoritarian counter-revolution that has emerged in response. With clarity and nuance, Hubble unpacks the ideological dynamics behind terms like "identity politics" and "woke liberalism," offering a fresh framework for understanding the realities of cultural conflict in Britain today.Professor Nick Hubble is an interdisciplinary researcher whose work combines the fields of Politics, History, Sociology, Cultural Studies and Literary Studies. Nick Hubble was awarded a Leverhulme Research Fellowship for 2023-2024 for the project 'Self-reflexivity, Class Consciousness, Culture Wars, and Social Change in Britain'. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/aberystwyth/professor-nick-hubble-and-dr-emma-sheppard-in-conversation-aberystwyth/100001987139290109 - **Event Categories**: Art, Workshops, literary-art, fine-arts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 4, max: 20, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Aberystwyth - **state**: WA - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Waterstones - **lat**: 52.4146156 - **long**: -4.0849461 - **full address**: Waterstones, 27 Great Darkgate Street, Aberystwyth, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Professor Nick Hubble and Dr. Emma Sheppard in Conversation - Aberystwyth - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/ce2805e4a9029b68abd701af287dd16f9573fdfb4ee4765f59cc3c497a94aff2-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf3f3f3-gmir.jpg?v=1775931456 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Professor Nick Hubble and Dr. Emma Sheppard in Conversation - Aberystwyth being held? - **A:** Professor Nick Hubble and Dr. Emma Sheppard in Conversation - Aberystwyth takes place on Wed, 13 May, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Wed, 13 May, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Waterstones, 27 Great Darkgate Street, Aberystwyth, United Kingdom. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Professor Nick Hubble and Dr. Emma Sheppard in Conversation - Aberystwyth? - **A:** Ticket prices for Professor Nick Hubble and Dr. Emma Sheppard in Conversation - Aberystwyth range from GBP 4 to GBP 20 depending on the ticket type.
