Danny Dorling will deliver a lecture titled ‘A Better Politics: How government can make us happier and healthier’ for the next Julian Tudor Hart Annual Lecture in July.
The talk, in collaboration with Cardiff University School of Social Sciences, Public Health Wales and Cardiff Institute of Society, Health and Wellbeing (CISHeW), will make the argument that if we start by considering what is most important to people in their lives, then we end up advocating a very different politics and set of priorities to that which is usually presented.
