What's it about?
With global shocks becoming routine, the UK is having to reckon seriously with questions of what meaningful social assistance that truly meets the needs of its populations can look like. This talk will bring together scholars, activists and civil society representatives to cover themes around the future of welfare, and radical horizons for reimagining support. This will include themes covering sustainable food systems, universal basic income, housing and care services.
