Alienation and Wellbeing with Professor Chris Yuill (Thursday April 25th, 18:00-19:30)
Join us at the School of Applied Social Studies and Robert Gordon University. For this event, Dr David Smith will be in conversation with Professor Chris Yuill about his new book ‘Alienation and Well-being’. The central thesis of the book is that the totality of capitalist relations is responsible for poor health and well-being in contemporary society. The book is a cumulation of Chris’s primary research and further theorisation. He draws on a number of theoretical positions ranging from Karl Marx, Franz Fanon, to Martha Nussbaum in arguing that the alienating tendencies of capitalism are substantially increased under neo-liberalism.
The speaker
