Voices from Grand Challenges – Exploring inequality of voice in UK society

In the latest episode of UCL Grand Challenges’ podcast series, Oliver Patel speaks to Professor Martin Mills, Director of Centre for Research on Teachers and Teaching at UCL, and Fahmida Rahman, Researcher at the Resolution Foundation, on the topic of voice – the need to give those facing disadvantage a meaningful say in how UK society is run, elevating voices and ensuring representation goes beyond tokenistic action, and that research is conducted with disadvantaged groups rather than on them. Discussions draw on Structurally Unsound, a major new report examining inequalities in the UK.
