Three writers grappling with the toxic rhetoric humans apply to one another explore how the boundaries of humanity are set to exclude certain communities. Surekha Davies (Humans: A Monstrous History), Omar El Akkad (One Day Everyone Will Always Have Been Against This) and Nicola Kelly (Anywhere But Here) will provide their piercing insights in this must-see event for all who are interested in how we repair the polarisation of our fractured world. Chaired by Yassmin Abdel-Magied .
