21st Century Giants – a panel debate

Activity: Talk or presentationDebate

Description

To conclude the series, we will hold a panel debate, considering the relevance of Beveridge for the 21st century. This will include all of the lecturers from the series, some new contributors to represent new 'Giants' and, we hope, the active contribution of members of the audience. After 75 years, do these ‘five giant evils’ remain in UK society? What progress have we made, and what continues to challenge us? Are there new ‘giants’ to slay, and can the welfare state survive?
