Introduction | Conference programme and report | Conference Audio and Video sessions
As stated by Sarah Worthington in her welcome address, the London School of Economics is in a particularly favourable position to host a seminar on health inequalities. LSE has a long history of producing innovative research in this area, from the 1960s with Peter Townsend and 1970s with Julian Le Grand, both senior experts in the social policy community who were able to attend this seminar in 2009.
This history of research and policy analysis continues to this day with a new generation of academics who are motivated by similar goals: to improve our understanding of the extent of the problem of health inequalities and to find realistic policy solutions.
In the sections below, the seminar programme and conference report together with video and MP3 podcasts are available.
