Orderly Britain
Показать описание
Part of the International Social and Public Policy Seminar Series
Hosted by the Department of Social Policy on 6 October 2022
Speaker: Professor Tim Newburn, LSE
Chair: Professor Stephen Jenkins, LSE
Abstract: This talk is based on Tim Newburn’s latest book - a quirky history of post-war Britain. Rather than grand matters of politics, culture, and the economy, it focuses on the mundane and the quotidian, taking in such matters as dog fouling, the decline of the public lavatory, and double-parking. How did we become a nation of plastic bag-wielding poop scoopers? What do changing patterns of smoking and drinking say about modern British society? And is queuing really a quintessentially British activity? Delving beneath the surface of some of our daily activities, it asks what makes us orderly Britons?
