Fairness Conference at Middlesex University on 21-23 May
The current climate of economic and political strife across Europe makes the need for fairness in society more pressing than ever. But is our society fair? Middlesex University is bringing together its top thinkers, researchers and academics from across disciplines – joined by a range of external speakers – to shine a light on the issue.
This cross-cutting conference will unpick the notion of what is fair in society, and how it impacts individuals, businesses and countries. Fairness in politics, our human rights, how fairness affects creative industries, health care and the environment will all be amongst the topics on the agenda. Given the speakers lined up for the conference, I expect business and human rights to come up during the discussions.
The three-day conference is packed with external experts including columnist Will Hutton, John Redwood MP, and legendary human rights defender Bianca Jagger.
The conference is aimed at anyone with an interest in the issue of fairness – from public sector managers, academics and business leaders to the general public.
