Open Networking Day
Speakers for the day:

Dr Harriet Crabtree OBE Executive Director for The Inter Faith Network for the United Kingdom

Emma Dowling will discuss her book The Care Crisis in which she analyses the multi-faceted nature of care in the modern world, from the mantras of self-care and what they tell us about our anxieties,

With Sarah Jaffe. Sarah will discuss the ‘labour of love’ myth: the idea that certain work is not really work, and should be done for the sake of passion rather than pay.

In November, the Westminster government announced major increases in military spending, while at the same time slashing the overseas aid budget.

The Covid pandemic is a reminder that guns and bombs cannot make us safe. It is more vital than ever to challenge militarist assumptions that equate security with preparations for war.
