In this event cohosted with the University of Cambridge’s ThinkLab, Al Jean, the Showrunner and Executive Producer of The Simpsons will discuss his unique perspective on how the long-running animated show has reflected – and at times perhaps shaped – how we think about the political world.

Emmy Award-winning producer/writer Al Jean has worked on The Simpsons since it became a series in 1989. He has a credit on over 500 episodes and been showrunner for 20 seasons.

It has been a tumultuous past few years of politics in many parts of the world. Humour and political satire are some of the ways that we often cope with upheaval and uncertainty – Al Jean will share some of his insights and experience from over three decades of being part of one of television’s most iconic television shows.
