Professor Steven King Inaugural Lecture
The welfare state: present, past and (?) futureNetworking | Public lectures
31 January 2023
5.30 pm - 7.30 pmThis lecture draws on the lessons of Professor King's multi-book project linking history and policy across the entire duration of the British welfare state (1601-2023). It explores the historical roots of welfare dilemmas that are currently constructed in presentist terms and asks what lessons history might hold for the future (if there is one) of the British welfare system.

Jim will relate his research interests to his prior experiences and provide an insight into some of his main research themes.

13 February 2023
5.30 pm - 7.30 pmThis lecture considers the research that has examined the influence of culture and personality at the local or regional level on development, as these are likely to be associated with social and institutional capital. These softer factors are found to be highly persistent and unevenly spread geographically in countries such as the UK.
