Building Stormont

In this episode of Talking History, Patrick Geoghegan reflects on the symbolism of Stormont and what we can learn about Northern Irish politics from studying the building, with Dr Suzanne O'Neill, adjunct assistant professor at the Department of Classics at Trinity College Dublin; why the Treaty is incorrectly blamed for partition, with author and historian Joe Connell; and the lessons we can learn about leadership by looking at historical figures, with Prof Martin Gutmann of the Lucerne School of Business and author of The Unseen Leader: How History Can Help Us Rethink Leadership.
