VIRTUAL EVENT: Centre for Education Policy and Equalising Opportunities launch

29 Sep 2020, 18:00 – 19:00

Robert D. Putnam

Malkin Professor of Public Policy

Harvard

Robert has received the National Humanities Medal from President Obama and has written fifteen books including ‘Our Kids: The American Dream in Crisis’, a ground-breaking examination of the growing opportunity gap. 

His book 'The Upswing' is a brilliant analysis of economic, social, and political trends over the past century demonstrating how we have gone from an individualistic "I" society to a more communitarian "We" society and then back again - and how we can learn from that experience. 

Lindsey Macmillan

Professor of Economics and Director of CEPEO

UCL Institute of Education

Lindsey's research explores the role of early skills, education, and labour market experience in the transmission of incomes and work across generations, and how this affects access to opportunities across the life course.

She leads CEPEO research, has published widely on topics relating to educational inequalities and works closely with government and third sector organisations including the Department for Education and the Social Mobility Commission.
