This free one day memorial conference for Peter Townsend will consist of four panels of speakers about inequalities in

• health
• older people
• poverty and social exclusion
• social policy 

The aim of the conference is to be forward looking rather than only reminiscing about the past.  Speakers will spend at least half their time talking about what still needs to be done (both academically and politically) and how this can be achieved.  Each session will have time for discussion.

Speakers will include:

• Julio Boltvinik (El Colegio de México)
• Jonathan Bradshaw (University of York)
• Roger Bullock (Social Research Unit at Dartington)
• Danny Dorling (University of Sheffield)
• David Gordon (Townsend Centre for International Poverty Research)
• Kate Green (Child Poverty Action Group)
• Paddy Hillyard (Queen’s University, Belfast)
• Hilary Land (University of Bristol)
• Ruth Levitas (University of Bristol)
