Roundtable Day Event: Austerity and Our Social Future
13.11.2014, 09:30-16:00
The 2007-08 financial crisis has produced a recession in Europe not seen
since the Great Depression. It has provoked governments to implement
drastic public sector cuts with more planned for the near future. The Woolf
Institute invites representatives from charitable organisations,
policy-makers and academics from Germany and England - two countries that
have experienced dramatic cuts as well as differing levels of economic
growth over the past 7 years - to discuss the role of governments, faith-
and community-based welfare organisations and individuals in responding to
human vulnerability in an age of austerity. The event programme consists of
three roundtables addressing the following questions individually: (1) What
are basic human needs and who should determine their meaning? (2) How
‘responsible’ should citizens be for themselves and each other? (3) What
kind of society do we want in the future?
The event will be held on Thursday 13 November 2014 in the Garden Room at
St. Edmund’s College.
