About this Event

Join us for a thought-provoking lecture exploring the belief that social class no longer exists in Britain and the idea that anyone can achieve success. We will examine how this belief shapes politics and government policy and question its validity. If social class persists and upward mobility is limited, what does this reveal about our society?
