Living with the Coalition
The Green Templeton College Lectures 2011
How will the policies and practice of the new Coalition government affect key areas of public life in the UK?
Four speakers will explore the intentions, tensions and impact of the government in areas of major interest to members of the College, the University, and society at large.
Previous governmental alliances in Britain have either been founded on crisis or a gentlemanly agreement not to address the questions that divided the parties. The Lib-Con agreement of 2010 was born of different circumstances. Its consequences for health, justice, education, and the university sector are the subject of the 2011 lectures.
