Critical Conversations: Is Class Still Destiny?

To get you thinking:

Social mobility is not increasing.

In recent years, your parents’ ownership of their home has become a much better predictor of whether or not you will own yours.
The privately educated are still over-represented in leading professions.

Social class remains a fact of life in the UK and beyond, despite the emergence of new forms of economic, social and cultural capital.

So, is class still destiny?

Come along to our informal event, broaden your horizons and share your ideas.

Critical Conversations

Van Mildert College hosts a series of discussion events to challenge ideas and discuss big questions. 

Panellists include students, staff and subject specialists. They open the discussion by speaking for 5 minutes about the topic. After that conversation flows freely across the panel and the audience.

The events are open spaces for conversation and ideas to breathe and flourish. Discussion is given space and encouragement, diversity of ideas is welcomed freely. No objective or answer is sought – the goal is to provoke thought.
