www.sheffield.ac.uk/ris/publicengagement/mrcfestival

The University of Sheffield does Question Time…Who Decides the Future – Science, Politics or the People?Wednesday 12 July, 6pm, Sheffield Town Hall

Come and join us for an exciting debate in which guests from the worlds of politics, the media and academia, answer questions posed by members of the public.

In our interconnected and technologically advanced world, science is often seen as vital to securing our future wellbeing: identifying threats and producing innovative solutions. Yet recent political events and ideological shifts have led some to believe our faith in science, the experts, and traditional politicians is waning. Who has the power to decide where our societies are heading, and what is the right balance between scientific progress, democratic oversight and political leadership?

Confirmed speakers include Professor Fiona Kumari Campbell (University of Dundee), James Lock (Managing Director at not-for-profit Opus Independents Ltd) and Professor Dan Sarewitz (Arizona State University).

In his inaugural lecture at the University of Sheffield, Professor Gwilym Pryce will explore what we mean by segregation, what causes it, and whether we can achieve integration without tackling the problem of rising inequality. He will draw together the key findings from pioneering research on segregation and inequality to offer a fascinating insight into how the nature of segregation and inequality is changing, and what it means for the societies of tomorrow.
