The Wilson Center has established “The Winston Churchill Lecture Series,” a high-level annual lecture series with the help of Baroness Catherine Ashton, which will launch in May 2024 with a public event featuring Lord Nicholas Soames. He is a grandson of former UK Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill and this year marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of Churchill. Lord Soames was also a Member of Parliament from 1983 to 2019. He was appointed a Life Peer and is a member of the International Relations and Defence Committee of the House of Lords.
Serving during a critical part of UK and European history, Baroness Ashton brings both historical perspective and current foreign policy expertise. Blending the Wilson Center’s role as a forum for balanced discussion, while also offering critical historical perspective, this series is made up of an annual lecture featuring world leaders on foreign policy issues of historic importance.
