The Right Honourable Rhodri Morgan will be giving a lecture as part of the Swansea University Texas Research Showcase, which brings over 20 top researchers from Swansea University, in Wales, UK, across to Texas, as part of a growing partnership with The University of Texas.
The Right Honourable Rhodri Morgan was elected to the UK Parliament in 1987 and served as First Minister of Wales from February 2000 to December 2009.
He was First Minister, head of the Welsh government, during the early years of the Welsh Assembly, which was set up in 1999, at the same time as the Scottish Parliament. He thus has unparalleled experience of navigating the relationships between different legislatures, and of the changing political landscape in the UK.
He is now Chancellor of Swansea University Council, an honorary role which sees him raising the profile of the institution and acting as an ambassador for the University and its staff and students. Swansea University Texas Research Showcase
