Tom Simpson, Oxford professor of values and public policy; Peter Hyman, former headteacher and political adviser; Sophie Scott-Brown, philosopher and historian of anarchism; Martin Gurri, ex-CIA analyst on media and politics; Justine Greening, former education secretary on social mobility. They debate authority’s forms, how the internet and big tech have unsettled institutions, schooling discipline versus autonomy, and how leaders or institutions can regain legitimacy.
