Postgrad insights: Tariffs are Back 

Join us for a thought‑provoking webinar that delves into why tariffs are making a comeback despite decades of trade liberalisation, how they are being shaped by today’s political narratives, and what sets modern protectionism apart from earlier approaches. Using recent US trade policy as a central case study, we’ll connect tariff use to wider themes of mercantilism, strategic dependence, and geopolitical competition. You’ll also gain fresh insight into the economic costs of tariff‑driven trade wars and what they reveal about policymaking in an increasingly polarised global economy. 

Our expert panel featuring Dr Karen Jackson and Dr Rebecca Wang, alongside current postgraduate student Solomon Kuffou, will share their perspectives on studying economics within the programme and answer your questions live. 

The webinar will include: 

• Tariffs are Back (mini lecture) 
• An overview of the Postgraduate Economics subject portfolio 
• A current student perspective 
• Live Q&A 

Join us for an inspiring discussion and see how our Economics courses can empower you to excel in today’s fast‑changing global marketplace.
