How the Battle of Ideas Changed My Life

“It was the first time I found myself part of an intellectual community… it gave me the courage to become a braver person.”

In the run up to the 2022 Battle of Ideas festival, Dr Nikos Sotirakopoulos of the Ayn Rand talked with Claire Fox and Mo Lovatt of the Academy of Ideas about his experience attending, speaking at and helping organise debates for the Battle.
