Jon Sopel’s ‘Notes from Trump’s America’: this week’s Bite-Sized Lecture

In the Southampton Bite-Size Lecture Series this week, the Engagement and Advancement Events team is delighted to revisit one of its favourites from the archive – taken from the 2017 Distinguished Lecture Series.

Our very own Jon Sopel – Southampton alumnus, University Pro-Chancellor, honorary degree recipient and BBC North America Editor – delivered an entertaining and thoughtful insight into his book If Only They Didn’t Speak English: Notes from Trump’s America, to a packed lecture theatre on Highfield Campus. Now you can watch the highlights.

In the 20-minute video, Jon talks about the unusual, challenging and fast-moving political landscape that he witnessed first-hand under the Presidency of Donald Trump.

This one is a must-see! You can watch the best bits of the Jon Sopel lecture here:

In case you’ve missed any of the previous releases from the series, you can catch up on all of them . Speakers from past weeks include Helen Clark, former Prime Minister of New Zealand, and Baroness Patricia Scotland, Secretary-General of the Commonwealth.

Brand new lectures will also be uploaded to the page every Thursday. They’re the perfect length to watch on your lunch break!
