Head Master’s Lecture with Andy Whitehouse (Sanderson’s 1990-1995)

Professor Andy Whitehouse recent Headmaster’s Lecture provided a remarkable opportunity to gain a world-renowned academic and political insider’s insights into today’s ever-changing politics. In a memorable conversational interview with the Headmaster we were able to hear at first-hand about the intricate mechanics of political processes on Capitol Hill and in Whitehall. He answered a multitude of questions, with discussion ranging from the composition of the Supreme Court to the impact of the Executive’s agenda. He also gave invaluable practical advice to those of us aspiring to be politicians, analysing how to influence voting behaviour. In particular, he encouraged us in our determination to think critically, not to assume certainty. His message will continue to reverberate long into the future, in particular in its emphasis on the value for society of the ongoing open-minded discussion so encouraged at Lancing.
