Relive the past and inform the future
Our previous events with the Policy Institute are now available to listen to on your favourite podcast platform. Please send us your ideas for future events.
You’ll be relieved to know that we have no plans to produce a podcast. But we have just published audio recordings of 21 events to date in our ‘Fair Society’ series with the Policy Institute at King’s College London, which are available on all major podcast platforms (video recordings are available on our website), including Spotify, Apple and Acast. The full list of events to date is at the bottom of this post.
We're starting to plan the next series of online events in the series, and would welcome your suggestions for authors that we should invite to talk at these events. We're looking for people with public profiles who have written interesting books on topics related to fairness or inequality within the last couple of years, which are either focused on the UK or relevant to the UK. Thank you in advance!
We’re also in the process of moving from Twitter/X to Bluesky. If you are on Bluesky you can find and follow us here.
FAIR SOCIETY SERIES: EVENTS TO DATE
Audio recordings are available on our website for all of these events except for the three ‘Towards the Manifestos’ events in 2023; video recordings are available for all of them except for the ‘Towards the Manifestos’ parliamentary event in July 2023
