Saturday 4 October 2025
Hybrid: The University of Western Australia and Zoom
Keynote speaker: Dr Erin Sebo (Flinders University)
Tyrannical leaders and damaging dictators have been a part of history for as long as humans have formed collective leaderships. From William the Conqueror to the Medicis, leaders have been accused of tyranny. The study of leadership engrossed medieval, Renaissance and early modern thinkers such as Thomas Aquinas, Niccolò Machiavelli, Erasmus and Descartes. The mythos of tyrants has been used and abused by modern political leaders to cement their authority and distort understandings of history.
