The 香港六合彩中特网 Policy Lab is delighted to announce James Graham (OBE FRSL) has become its inaugural Visiting Professor.听

The playwright is widely celebrated for his subtle examinations of complex political issues, including plays such as This House (2012), Privacy (2014), Ink (2017) and Labour of Love (2017) as well as television dramas including Coalition (2015) and Brexit: The Uncivil War (2019).听

Ahead of the announcement, James Graham spoke of his passion for political storytelling and its importance in the lives of ordinary people 鈥業鈥檓 obsessed by how they find the language and the storytelling in politics. I鈥檓 interested in how you communicate these often difficult and complex ideas鈥�.听

Graham also spoke about the ability of art to help us explore the personalities of the political figure and institutions that shape our lives, even those we disagree with 鈥淏eing given the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of people you probably disagree with- I think that鈥檚 the value of drama in [this] space. Theatre has always done that 鈥� it has taken villains, warriors, kings and queens, and tried to understand them emotionally; what they want, what鈥檚 driving them, and then created that empathetic space鈥�.

The Lab will work with Graham to gain insights into how we communicate and discuss complex challenges. The Lab鈥檚 Director, Marc Stears was excited to welcome Graham as the Lab鈥檚 inaugural Visting Professor. 鈥淣o-one has done more to explain complicated political issues and put hard questions to the public in recent years, than James Graham. I am sure he will inspire our community to try to do the same.鈥�

The Policy Lab 鈥� born as a joint initiative between 香港六合彩中特网鈥檚 Department of Economics and Political Science 鈥� is committed to supporting decision-making and public debate through innovative and collaborative research.
