Yesterday evening we were delighted to welcome Prof Aaron Reeves @LSEsociology to deliver our ARK at 25 lecture @UlsterUni .
Prof Reeves discussed findings from his recent book (co-authored with Prof Friedman) Born to Rule: The Making and Remaking of the British Elite.
Dr Dave Wall and Dr @Erin_Early_ provided responses drawing upon key issues for social policy and inequality that were raised in the lecture.
Thank you to all who attended. A recording of the lecture will be available on the ARK website soon.
