5×15, Leverhulme Trust and EXPeditions:
The Value of Knowledge in an Age of Disinformation

Join us for a timely and inspiring conversation with five past winners of the prestigious Philip Leverhulme Prize.

For this special event at Conway Hall, hosted by classicist Simon Goldhill, 5×15 is delighted to welcome a line-up of leading thinkers including literary historian Santanu Das, psychobiologist Daisy Fancourt, archaeologist Naoíse Mac Sweeney, geographer Simon Reid-Henry, and cultural historian Tiffany Watt Smith.

In a world where disinformation is a growing threat, and fake news is just a click away, their expertise is more crucial than ever in shaping a clearer, more informed future. These groundbreaking researchers will share insights into their work and discuss how academic research can tackle the biggest challenges of our time.
