Next Episode: What does Europe & the EU mean in a COVID world?

This week, we’re talking about inequality – a theme we’ve touched on before in our episodes on education, the health impacts of the virus, and how different communities have been affected. In this episode, we’re joined by an anthropologist, an engineer and a political scientist to explore inequality from a global perspective, and to see if we can find some solutions.

Join Vivienne Parry as she speaks with UCL experts:

- Prof Dame Henrietta Moore (Founder and Director of the Institute of Global Prosperity)

- Prof Cathy Holloway (Professor & Academic Director, Global Disability Innovation Hub)

- Dr Tom Pegram (Associate Professor in Global Governance)
