Conversations worth having - What is the Future of Society?

Join our host, former BBC presenter, journalist and current affairs specialist Clare English, and our panel of esteemed speakers for an hour of virtual idea sharing on 25 June as we consider whether our current experience of the coronavirus crisis can make for a better society in the future.

We’ll be discussing what kind of society we want and how we can create and maintain it. We’ll question what made us adapt to kinder ways during this pandemic and whether we are likely to revert back to our previous, everyday way of life as the new reality kicks in.

What good things should we keep if anything and can we - without changing the basis of our economy and society?

Join speakers Andy Haldane, Chief Economist of the Bank of England; Professor Paul Dolan, author and Behavioural Scientists from the London School of Economics, and Iman Amrani from The Guardian live on Zoom as we gather virtually to ask: What is the future of society?
