Food charity: Undermining Human Rights? A Discussion on Thursday 14 May

On Thursday 14th May at the University of Warwick (12.00pm - 1.30pm in R1.13, Ramphal Building) Professor Elizabeth Dowler and Centre Co-Director Dr James Harrison will lead a session entitled "Food charity: Undermining Human Rights?".

The session will explore the dangers that food charity poses for the long term protection of human rights in the United Kingdom. It will also consider ideas for how to transform public policy and civil society action on food poverty and related policy issues so that human rights are better promoted in the future.

James's thoughts will be based on his piece "The Foodbank Dilemma" which has been viewed more than 7,500 times in Lacuna Magazine and re-published in the New Statesman and Open Democracy.
