Anu Kantola, Jules Naudet and Bruno Cousin: How the wealthy feel and think about the rest.

In this seminar, we bring together Anu Kantola (University of Helsinki - Finland), Bruno Cousin (Sciences Po, CEE - France) and Jules Naudet (CNRS, CEIAS - France). In the course of two presentations, we are offered in-depth analyses of how the upper class feels and thinks about the rest.  

In a world characterized by rapid and serious climate change and loss of biodiversity it is time to challenge established truths and assumptions and take the time to explore more deeply the tasks we are faced with. How can we make changes that both answer the problems we are faced with and creates better societies and lives for everyone?

We invite you to join us for the launch of Karen O'Brien's new book You Matter More Than You Think.
