Hosted by Dr Martin Farr, Co-Chair of the Public Lectures Committee

Levelling up was a longstanding challenge for Britain before Covid-19, but the pandemic has now made it both more acute and urgent to address. Yet achieving equality of opportunity is more than simply a social imperative. This lecture will set out how levelling up is also an economic and political necessity and how this presents a chance to fundamentally redefine the UK, not only to ourselves, but also to a wider world.
