David Robinson is Practitioner in Residence at the Marshall Institute. In this lecture he will explore the causes and consequences of current trends in the nature of our relationships, put forward his practical vision of a place where “meaningful relationships are the central operating principle” and set out a route map for reaching it. The response will be led by social entrepreneur and former UK designer of the year, Hilary Cottam, and by politician and political theorist Jon Cruddas MP.
