Join us for an evening of fascinating conversation with one of the most authoritative legal voices working in equality law today.
Akua Reindorf KC is an award-winning barrister specialising in Discrimination and Equality, Employment, and Human Rights. She has been a key figure in the debates on sex and gender and freedom of speech and been involved in some of the critical investigatory and litigation activity in these areas as well as writing and speaking widely. She is also a Visiting Senior Lecturer at LSE Law School, and a Commissioner of the EHRC (but is appearing at the event in a personal capacity).
Akua wrote the University of Essex’s ‘Reindorf Report’ on suppression of academic freedom as a result of the de-platforming and blacklisting of Jo Phoenix and Rosa Freedman, both academics who have expressed sex realist views. She successfully defended the LGB Alliance and recently provided a Legal Advice on Manchester City Council’s policy on single sex spaces for the Women’s Rights Network and Labour Women’s Declaration. She is a vocal critic of Labour’s initial plans to pause the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Act 2023 and an advocate for freedom of expression, freedom of speech and academic freedom.
Join the audience for this special event where Akua will be interviewed by Jo Bartosch, a campaigner for the rights of women and girls and a journalist who writes on women, sex-based rights, and freedom of speech. Jo is a widely published journalist with bylines in The Times, Telegraph, and Mail on Sunday. She is assistant editor of The Critic, regularly contributes to Spiked and Unherd and is also the Memo Editor for Sex Matters. Jo can always be guaranteed to be funny, scathing and bang on the nose.
