CLH Talks - PROTEST: Civic Duty, Disappearing Right w/ Prof. Colin Tyler

**Protest has long been a core part of the democratic ideal.** Yet, many people are worried by recent changes to the law in England and Wales and the prosecution of environmental campaigners and others. Join us for this talk, where Professor Colin Tyler looks at restrictions that are gradually being placed on our right to protest, and the implications that it has for us as conscientious citizens. Whether you are a humanist, humanist-curious or just keen to learn more about the topic of protest in modern society, you can be sure of a warm welcome. The event is free to attend, but if you are able to make a voluntary donation this helps us put on more events like this in the future. **[Colin Tyler](https://www.hull.ac.uk/staff-directory/colin-tyler)**[ is Professor of Applied Ethics and Political Theory, in the School of Politics and International Studies at the University of Hull](https://www.hull.ac.uk/staff-directory/colin-tyler).
