Hot Topics Lunch: #Megxit

The Hot Topics Lunch Series presents: #Megxit, or The Role of Monarchies within a 21st-century global context.

History professor Paul Monod will join us to consider the ramifications of the departure of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from the Royal Family, while also considering how (and if) monarchies are adjusting to the 21st century, adapting views on issues such as race and gender.

The Hot Topics Lunch Series allows students an informal opportunity to learn more about a “hot” topic in the news by engaging with a faculty member who is an expert on the subject. A brief presentation by the professor is followed by analysis and discussion with the students.
