Event details

YorkIdeas on the Green talks

YorkIdeas, at the University of York, is teaming up with Angel on the Green – a community-owned enterprise – to bring ideas, research and engagement into York’s neighbourhoods. 

On selected Monday evenings, a speaker from the University of York will set out a big idea in conversation with anyone who wants to come along and hear their reactions and ideas. 

The seven-part series – free to attend for all – will explore some of the most pressing challenges our society is facing and the ideas and research that aim to solve them. 

Tackling Inequality and Poverty: Community Wealth Building 

How can we build more equal, inclusive and democratic societies? Join Martin O’Neill, Professor of Political Philosophy, as he discusses how we can reverse our broken economic model and return wealth to local communities.

Other talks in the series: 

• Grub Up: Feeding the World With Crop Waste and Bugs
• What’s in Our Rivers? 
• Digital Rights: What Are They and Why Should We Care About Them? 
• Exploring Art and Why It Matters
