We are delighted to announce that Professor Kate Pickett of Epidemiology in the Department of Health Sciences at the University of York will be delivering our annual public lecture.

The Spirit Level was voted one of the Top Ten Books of the Decade by the New Statesman and was winner of Publication of the Year by the Political Studies Association. It has been translated into 23 languages.
