As a tribute to the life of Shirley Williams we are pleased to share two archive recordings of talks she gave at Ways With Words. In this talk from 2016 the Rt. Hon. Shirley Williams discusses the UK’s place in the world and the US elections. She was Professor Emerita of Electoral Politics at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, among numerous other activities. 

We were so fortunate to have this eminent politician and academic with us.

Shirley Williams - Politics in the US and the UK

In tribute to the life of Shirley Williams we share an event she did with us based on her memoir. She was a remarkable politician not just for her achievements, but also for her approach to politics. She brought a passion and commitment to the causes for which she fought. Her autobiography, ‘Climbing The Bookshelves’, reveals the influences that shaped her.
