- Danny Dorling is a Professor of Human Geography at the University of Sheffield. He went to various schools in Oxford and to University in Newcastle upon Tyne. He has worked in Newcastle, Bristol, Leeds and New Zealand. With a group of colleagues he helped create the website www.worldmapper.org which shows who has most and least in the world.
He has published with others more than 25 books on issues related to social inequalities and several hundred journal papers. Much of this work is available open access (see www.shef.ac.uk/sasi). His work concerns issues of housing, health, employment, education and poverty. His recent books include, three co-authored texts: "Identity in Britain: A cradle-to-grave atlas", "The Atlas of the Real World: Mapping the way we live" and "Bankrupt Britain: an atlas of social change". Recent sole authored books include, "Injustice: why social inequalities persist" in 2010 and "So you think you know about Britain" in 2011.
Before a career in academia Danny was employed as a play-worker in children's play-schemes and in pre-school education where the underlying rationale was that playing is learning for living. He tries not to forget this by playing with data surrounding people's lives and representing the results in new, novel and stark ways which usually reveal the inequality of the lives we each live.
AboutTEDx:
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Very light on details as to how all this would work especially in terms of health care and housing.
Yo buddy, you still alive?
Its Time
who needs borders when they have V2
We are human first almost everything else is secondary. The more I travel the more I see this, besides having borders is pretty much like having open air prison systems.
Pixy? That you?
DON’T EVER POST AGAIN 🔥
The reason people could move around freely within Europe over 100 years ago was the way travel and the cost of travel changed and was made easier. Border controls will change and the reasons for them, not go away. Water will be the reason for people moving on mass.
I think a number of presumptions here are incorrect. Firstly, he presumes border controls are ineffective. Many examples run counter to this. For example, enhanced border controls have vastly reduced flows of illegal immigration to Australia. Second, he takes the presumption that inequality within countries does not affect immigration flows. Even if all countries had the same mean wealth, then those at the bottom in unequal countries would be encouraged to move to the more equal ones, since they would see a jump in wealth upwards towards the mean. At the moment, wealthy countries are the more unequal countries (partly due to immigration), but even disregarding the above point, countries will continue to want highly skilled immigrants and want to avoid poorly skilled and poor immigrants for the foreseeable future (until even an unskilled migrant brings more economic benefits than the costs in extra healthcare/education/infrastructure spending etc). There are also factors he fails to mention, such as culture. Immigration changes the fabric of society, and many will not want large changes to the culture of the country from immigrants, even if those immigrants have economic parity. Further, resource scarcity due to higher population and climate change may increase costs of overpopulation. For example, some countries may need to admit fewer to enable sufficient clean water supplies to all. I do agree that increased freedom of movement will occur to the changes he discussed, but it will happen predominantly to the most highly skilled segments of society across the world.
laughs in 2020. Seriously though, this is never going to happen. Has this guy ever met a human.
Such a clear and understandable explanation. Thanx Danny! But if some blunt heads will ever learn from it?
Fast forward to 2020: do you still think cross-national inequality is decreasing?
oke
oke
