This free one day memorial conference for Peter Townsend will consist of
four panels of speakers about Inequalities in Health, Older People,
Poverty & Social Exclusion and Social Policy. The aim of the conference
is to be forward looking rather than only reminiscing about the past.
Speakers will be asked to spend at least half their time talking about
what still needs to be done (both academically and politically) and how
this can be achieved. Each session will have time for discussion.
Speakers will include:
Julio Boltvinik (El Colegio de México)
Jonathan Bradshaw (University of York)
Roger Bullock (Social Research Unit at Dartington)
Danny Dorling (University of Sheffield)
David Gordon (Townsend Centre for International Poverty Research)
