'Why Study the Rich?'
April 23, 2016 12.30-5.30pm, Free
An afternoon of talks and discussion
Refreshments served. Older children and young adults welcome.
‘Why study the Rich?’ is an event that brings together
cross-disciplinary approaches to studying wealth in society. Come and listen to
talks by activists, writers and artists whose scrutiny, investigation and
differing perspectives attempt to challenge cultural narratives and societal
structures that are intrinsically linked to the maintenance of power.
Open discussion with the audience is encouraged throughout the
afternoon, as together we discuss how studies of ‘the rich’ might reveal a
deeper understanding of the conditions of contemporary life and contribute to
the debate about inequality in society.
Confirmed Speakers:
Roger Burrows, Professor of Cities at Newcastle University
Aditya Chakrabortty, senior economics commentator for the Guardian
Jeremy Gilbert, writer, researcher and activist & Professor of
cultural and political theory at UEL
Katharina Hecht, Phd student at LSE, on Economic Inequality
Jo Littler, Reader in cultural industries at City University London
Laure Provost, Artist, screening film ‘How to make money religiously’
‘Why study the Rich?’ culminates a project called The Rich as a
Minority Group by artists Ruth Beale and Amy Feneck in collaboration
with GCSE Sociology students from Little Ilford School in Newham.
