Whether you are a speaker, a prospective member of Keele World Affairs, or simply have an interest in what we do and who we are, we hope you will find this website stimulating and informative.

We are regarded as Europe’s largest continuing lecture series and it is our privilege to welcome a wide range of authoritative and distinguished speakers. Many say it is a uniquely enjoyable experience and return to speak again.

Our guests speak at World Affairs pro bono and in return we make every effort to be hospitable and to make their visit memorable.

Our members are a diverse and mature group with wide experience of life. As a result, Keele World Affairs is more than just a set of lectures – we are a vibrant, sociable, and stimulating group with a strong interest in the issues our speakers raise.

You will find plenty of information on this website about the current season’s distinguished speakers and those who have come to World Affairs in recent years.

There is also information on how to join Keele World Affairs and a members’ area.

We also recognise the long-term interest in the World Affairs lectures and discussions. With the permission of our speakers, we are now building an archive of video and audio lectures so that they can be accessed and studied by the wider world.
