Brexit: A Political Earthquake in Modern Britain

More than a decade after the referendum, Brexit remains one of the most consequential political decisions in modern British history. Join linguist and historian Nettah Yoeli-Rimmer as he explores the UK’s long and often-uneasy relationship with the European Union, as well as the social, political and economic forces that led to the 2016 vote. This lecture examines the realities of Brexit as they exist today and considers where Britain–EU relations may be heading next, from pragmatic compromise to deeper realignment.

Join us at the Main Library on Wednesday, November 18, at 4:00 pm for a virtual lecture and lively post-watch discussion to explore Brexit.
