Former United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson is scheduled to speak at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in March, where he will deliver a public address and participate in a moderated discussion on global leadership, democratic governance and international affairs.

The appearance is part of a high-profile campus event series that brings international political figures to engage with students, faculty and the wider community.

According to event organisers, Johnson’s visit will include a keynote speech followed by questions from an academic moderator, with topics expected to range from transatlantic relations and global security to the challenges facing democratic systems in an era of geopolitical uncertainty.

Attendance is expected to be strong, reflecting sustained interest in Johnson’s tenure as prime minister and his continued role in international public debate.

Johnson served as UK prime minister from two thousand nineteen to two thousand twenty-two, leading the country through the final phase of its departure from the European Union and a period marked by global health and security challenges.

Since leaving office, he has remained active as a commentator, author and speaker on international issues, regularly addressing audiences in Europe and North America.

University officials said the event is intended to foster open discussion and critical engagement with contemporary global politics, emphasising the importance of exposing students to a range of leadership perspectives.

Security and ticketing arrangements have been put in place to manage expected demand, with priority access offered to students and staff.

The Madison appearance forms part of Johnson’s broader speaking schedule in the United States this year and underscores the continued interest among academic institutions in hosting former world leaders to discuss policy, leadership and the evolving international order.
