A video recording is available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rV9H7MCwcAM&t=11s Fresh off large election wins, Boris Johnson and his Conservative Party colleagues are moving forward with Brexit after years of debate over its economic and social consequences. Largely forgotten in the rush for Brexit is the Republic of Ireland which held its own election on February 9. The 1998 Good Friday Agreement introduced twenty years of relative peace after generations grew up with the searing violence and mayhem known as “the troubles.” Will Brexit shatter the peace and reopen the venomous hatreds? The event will be moderated by MPR arts and culture reporter Euan Kerr. Desmond King is the Andrew W Mellon Professor of American government at Nuffield College at Oxford University.
