An afternoon of talks and discussion
Refreshments served. Older children and young adults
welcome.
‘Why study the Rich?’ is an event that brings together
cross-disciplinary approaches to studying wealth in society. Come and listen to
talks by activists, writers and artists whose scrutiny, investigation and
differing perspectives attempt to challenge cultural narratives and societal
structures that are intrinsically linked to the maintenance of power.
Open discussion with the audience is encouraged throughout
the afternoon, as together we discuss how studies of ‘the rich’ might reveal a
deeper understanding of the conditions of contemporary life and contribute to
the debate about inequality in society.

Roger Burrows,
Professor of Cities at Newcastle University
Aditya Chakrabortty,
senior economics commentator for The
Guardian
Jeremy Gilbert,

‘Why study the Rich?’ culminates a project called The Rich as a Minority Group by
