In the latest in a series of online ‘in-conversation’ events, Paulette Simpson, Executive Director of The Voice newspaper, introduced a talk between Science Museum Group Director Sir Ian and Rt Hon MP David Lammy about key themes from his latest book: Tribes: How Our Need to Belong Can Make or Break Society.

Tribes is a fascinating exploration of both the benign and malign effects of our very human need to belong. How this need - genetically programmed and socially acquired - can manifest itself in positive ways, collaboratively achieving great things that individuals alone cannot. And yet how, in recent years, globalisation and digitisation have led to new, more pernicious kinds of tribalism.
