The IIPS is pleased to announce that Danny Dorling, Professor of Human Geography at the University of Sheffield, will be delivering our next quarterly breakfast briefing. Professor Dorling will be presenting a provocative overview of why he believes improvements in service delivery at a local level are critical to addressing social inequality in Britain. Following the presentation, he will be joined by leading experts to discuss key questions about the future of social research, such as opportunities for conducting local research that is nationally comparable.
