1 小时 32 分钟Welcome to the LSE Events podcast by the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Get ready to hear from some of the most influential international figures in the social sciences.
Okay, good evening, everybody.
Welcome to tonight's event, hosted, I should say,
by Cohesive Capitulism, so thank you very much to them.
It's wonderful to welcome you all here.
for what I'm sure is going to be a really stimulating evening and a big welcome also to the 150 people listening online.
I'm Kitty Stewart,
I'm Professor in Social Policy and Associate Director of the Centre for Analysis of Social Exclusion case here at the LSE and I'll be chairing this event and I'll be aiming to keep our speakers to time
because what we're hoping for this evening is a conversation.
conversation between the panellists and of course between the panellists and you here in the room and those listening online.
We're going to be talking primarily about or inspired by two books which on the surface might seem very different from each other.
One about housing and one about care.
But as I think we'll see,
there are some very clear common threads to the arguments made in these books and perhaps others.
other threads that will emerge in our conversation.
So I'm going to introduce our speakers, and then we're going to hear from each of them in turn.
But first of all, I need to note that no practice fire alarm is expected.
So if you hear the fire alarm go,
we're all going to make our way very orderly out of that door and then onto the street.
