Danny Dorling

    Danny Dorling je britský sociálny geograf, ktorý sa zameriava na výskum nerovností a ľudskej geografie. Jeho práca sa týka otázok bývania, zdravia, zamestnanosti, vzdelávania a chudoby, pričom sa snaží nezabudnúť na etiku hry ako učenia pre život, ktorú spoznal počas práce v letných táboroch pre deti. Jeho rozsiahle publikácie o sociálnych nerovnostiach, často dostupné vo voľnom prístupe, skúmajú globálne perspektívy a snažia sa prekonať obmedzené pohľady.

      The authors argue that the vote to leave the EU was the last gasp of the old empire working its way out of the British psyche. Fueled by a misplaced nostalgia, the result was driven by a lack of knowledge of Britain's imperial history, by a profound anxiety about Britain's status today, and by a deeply unrealistic vision of the future.
