Ethical Matters Know Your Place

Society today will not give most of us the chance of a secure and fulfilling life. In this Ethical Matters talk, Faiza Shaheen presents a personal and statistical look at how our current system keeps us locked into an ugly hierarchy. It’s a powerful call for collective fighting to reinvent things as we want them to be; finding hope and not staying in your place. This is how can change things.

Dr Faiza Shaheen is a Visiting Professor in Practice at the London School of Economics. She has worked as an economist, policy advisor and political commentator, authoring a range of materials and publications covering the most salient social and economic debates of our times, including inequality, austerity, immigration, housing and youth unemployment.

Faiza’s book, Know Your Place, will be available to buy in person from Newham Bookshop on the day.
