In debates around societal equality and discrimination, social class has been neglected in comparison to gender, race, disability and sexuality, which are protected characteristics in the UK under the Equality Act 2010. Is it time to afford social class the same protection, or is it too amorphous and changeable for that to be a viable option? And should we even care about social class, since everyone ought to aspire to be middle class anyway?
Speakers:
