Join us for a talk and discussion about how public food policies can help promote social justice, public health and ecological integrity.
Kevin Morgan is Professor of Governance and Development at Cardiff University. His research focuses on governance, development, and innovation in places, including smart specialization, place-based innovation systems, and sustainable food systems. He also has expertise in areas like multi-level governance, experimental governance, and the foundational economy.
Professor Kevin Morgan has spent more than twenty years studying the Good Food movement’s impact internationally – assessing policies which seek to develop a fair, healthy and sustainable food system. His latest book, “Serving the Public: The good food revolution in schools, hospitals and prisons” (Manchester University Press), explores government attitudes to food around the world, highlighting public bodies that are endeavouring to serve good food “against the odds”.
Following his lecture, Professor Morgan will be joined by a panel of experts for an interactive discussion and Q&A:
Adrian Morley, Manchester Metropolitan University
Jemma Hynes, Strategic Director, Fork
Professor Julie Froud, Alliance Manchester Business School
Lisa Dale-Clough, Greater Manchester Combined Authority
Time: 5:00 pm (Refreshments & Networking) | 5:30–7:00 pm (Lecture & Panel Discussion)
Location: Alliance Manchester Business School, or join us virtually
The event is a joint initiative between the Manchester Institute of Innovation Research, the Sustainable Consumption Institute and the Work and Equalities Institute.
