No British academic has done as much to measure and record inequality as Danny Dorling, the Oxford professor of human geography.
The talk marks the publication of Dorling’s latest book, Peak Injustice: Solving Britain’s Inequality Crisis, which discusses challenges for the Labour government, the impact of Jeremy Corbyn’s legacy, and the implications of Keir Starmer’s blind spots.
Danny will be introduced by Dr Zara Nanu MBE.
The talk is presented in partnership with Just About Books and Distinctive Communications. Copies of the book will be available at the event, signed copies can be ordered with your ticket.
About Danny Dorling
Danny Dorling has lived all his life in England. To try to counter his myopic world view, in 2006, Danny started working with a group of researchers on a project to remap the world (www.worldmapper.org). He has published with many colleagues more than a dozen books on issues related to social inequalities in Britain and several hundred journal papers. Much of Danny’s work is open access and available on his website.
His work concerns issues of housing, health, employment, education and poverty. Danny was employed as a play-worker in children’s summer play-schemes. He learnt the ethos of pre-school education where the underlying rationale was that playing is learning for living. He tries not to forget this.
He is an Academician of the Academy of the Learned Societies in the Social Sciences, was Honorary President of the Society of Cartographers from 2007 to 2017 and is a patron of Roadpeace, the national charity for road crash victims.
