SUMMARY:The Janus-Faced State: Recognition\, Retreat and the Legacy of Ste
 phen Lawrence
LOCATION:Cambridge University: Murray Edwards College
DESCRIPTION:This lecture examines the evolving legacy of Stephen Lawrence 
 through a critical analysis of what is described as the ‘Janus-faced sta
 te’ a form of governance that simultaneously acknowledges racial injusti
 ce whilst retreating from its consequences. Underpinned by archival resear
 ch from the Macpherson Inquiry into the Death of Stephen Lawrence\, alongs
 ide contemporary developments in the UK and internationally\, the lecture 
 explores how institutional recognition of racism can coexist with the grad
 ual erosion of accountability. Moving beyond questions of individual preju
 dice. It considers how race is governed through policy\, narrative and ins
 titutional practice and asks what it means to remember Stephen Lawrence in
  a moment where the frameworks that once made justice possible are increas
 ingly contested. The lecture ultimately reflects on the conditions under w
 hich truth is not only uncovered but sustained.
