As part of Challenge Poverty Week, the Scottish Poverty and Inequality Research Unit (SPIRU) at Glasgow Caledonian University, in partnership with the Poverty Alliance, are pleased to announce that 2021 Challenge Poverty Lecture will be delivered by Baroness Ruth Lister.
Emeritus Professor Lister brings almost 50 years of experience in working to address poverty – time spent not only researching and reflecting on how we understand poverty, but in working with campaigners and alongside people living in poverty to bring about change. In this lecture Professor Lister will be reflecting on this experience, and particularly on some of the themes in the second edition of her seminal work 'Poverty' (Polity Press, 2021), setting out how we can meet the challenge of poverty in Scotland and beyond. Her talk will touch on the themes that have been central to her work, including human rights, discourses of poverty, equalities and participation.
This lecture will take place online on 5th of October 2021, 6.30pm - 7.45pm.
