Building More Equal Societies

UW School of Public Health, Health of Populations - Stephen Bezruchka

Join authors Kate Pickett and Richard Wilkinson for an evening's discussion on the impact of inequality on our lives.

UW South Campus Center

Kate Pickett and Richard Wilkinson are authors of the The Spirit Level: why greater equality makes societies stronger, the 2009 book that highlighted the corrosive effects of income and wealth inequality. Released this month is their second book, Inner Level: how more equal societies reduce stress, restore sanity and improve everybody's well-being . Their ideas are ground-breaking in identifying the profoundly detrimental effects of economic inequality on society both here and almost everywhere.
Their presentation will be followed by a panel discussion with:<ul><li>Dr. Ben Danielson, Children's Hosp. pediatrician and head of Odessa Brown Clinic 
</li><li>Dr. Julian Perez (SeaMar) Family Physician</li><li>Dr. Hilary Godwin, Dean of The University of Washington, School of Public Health
