A roundtable discussion on whether it makes sense to understand austerity policies as a form of structural violence that disproportionately affects particular groups in society.
About the roundtable
Violence in society in peacetime is often thought of as being mainly inter-personal. This roundtable will discuss how the period of austerity has produced structural violence that is experienced by both communities and individuals. It will focus on the health service, housing, poverty and also on the impact of austerity on violence against women.
The four speakers at the roundtable will be:
- Dr Sarah Steele - Centre for Primary Care and Public Health, Queen Mary, University of London
- Dr Vickie Cooper - Liverpool John Moores University
- Ewa Jasiewicz - Fuel Poverty Action
- Heather McRobie - Open Democracy
There will be four introductions of 15 minutes followed by a discussion about whether this form of social harm might be better understood as a form of violence in society created by austerity.
