Danny Dorling to give the annual lecture of the Quaker Socialist Society in May
One of Britain’s leading writers on equality is to give the annual lecture of the Quaker Socialist Society (QSS) ahead of next month’s Yearly Meeting of British Friends.
Danny Dorling, professor of human geography at the University of Sheffield, will deliver the Salter Lecture at Friends House, London on 25 May.
Danny Dorling writes and campaigns about increasing economic inequality in the UK, drawing attention to health inequalities and geographical differences. His recent books include Injustice: Why social inequality persists and The No-Nonsense Guide to Equality.
The Salter Lecture is a public event open to all. Recent Salter Lecturers have included veteran politicians Tony Benn and Roy Hattersley, along with Richard Wilkinson, author of The Spirit Level. The QSS aim to bring together all who share the principles of Quakers and socialism, without being affiliated to any political party.
