Danny Dorling

    Danny Dorling est un géographe social britannique dont le travail examine de manière critique les inégalités et la géographie humaine. Il se concentre sur des questions de logement, de santé, d'emploi, d'éducation et de pauvreté, s'efforçant de conserver une éthique du jeu comme apprentissage pour la vie, éclairée par des expériences précoces. Ses nombreuses publications sur les inégalités sociales, souvent en libre accès, explorent des perspectives mondiales et visent à contrer les points de vue étroits, reflétant un engagement envers la recherche accessible sur les disparités sociales.

Fueled by a misplaced nostalgia, the result was driven by a lack of knowledge of Britain's imperial history, by a profound anxiety about Britain's status today, and by a deeply unrealistic vision of the future.
