Hare Speaks on Panel on Castro’s Legacy
Amb. Paul Webster Hare, Senior Lecturer at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, spoke as part of a May 3, 2017 panel hosted by the Canning House that looked back on the legacy of Fidel Castro. Hare was a British diplomat for 30 years served as the British ambassador to Cuba from 2001-04.
The panel brought together experts to debate Castro’s domestic, regional and global legacies. Other panelists included Antoni Kapcia, Professor of Latin American history at the University of Nottingham and author of Cuba In Revolution; Ken Livingstone, British politician and former Mayor of London; and Steve Ludlam, Senior Lecturer in Politics at the University of Sheffield, member of the Cuba Research Forum, and author of Reclaiming ‘Our America’: Radical Social Democracy in Latin America.
Hare also recently gave a recent lecture as part of the Hamilton Hall Lecture Series on the ongoing changes to Cuban politics and culture, and at Endicott College on the future of relations between the United States and Cuba.
Ambassador Hare teaches classes at Boston University on Diplomatic Practice, Arms Control, Intercultural Communication and on Cuba in Transition. In Spring 2016 he will offer a new class on Public Diplomacy. His novel, “Moncada – A Cuban Story”, set in modern Cuba, was published in May 2010. His book “Making Diplomacy Work; Intelligent Innovation for the Modern World.’ was published in early 2015. Learn more about him here.
