For our series about the current crisis facing universities David talks to writer, philosopher and LSE professor Lea Ypi about the role played by politics in universities around the world. Is the difference between universities in different places greater than the institutional links that connect them? Can university life aspire to any kind of political neutrality and should it? What are the biggest threats to the pursuit of new understanding in a university setting? Who or what is best placed to counter these?
