Award winning journalist, Mary O'Hara will be joined by University of Kent academics and others to discuss poverty stigma
About this Event
Despite the historically high levels of inequalities in our society, we stigmatise those in poverty whilst celebrating the ultra-rich. Such beliefs and ideas shaped a range of results including the most recent election results in the UK and US.
The welfare state research cluster invites everyone to discuss issues around poverty stigma, why it exists and talk about what we can do about this.
We welcome award-winning journalist and author Mary O’Hara, to discuss her new book The Shame Game, where she draws on a two-year multi-platform initiative to ask how we can overturn this fundamentally pernicious portrayal of poverty once and for all.
