Peace Histories Podcast
Episode 9: Peace talk with Bradley Simpson
In this episode, we’re thrilled to have a special chat with Professor Bradley Simpson from the University of Connecticut. Visiting from the United States, he’s in the Netherlands to share insights about his fascinating book on the history of self-determination 'The First Right: Self-Determination and the Transformation of International Order, 1941–2000.'
Is this book part of your reading list this year? Then, this is the perfect podcast for you. We encourage you to listen to this podcast first before reading his book. With us, let’s dive into Brad’s story of his activism, his interest in small places like Timor-Leste, and what brought him to research about self-determination.
