Global Poverty and Inequality
Radical Statistics Group Annual Conference & AGM
Saturday 26 February, 2005
Central Methodist Hall, Oldham Street, Manchester
(close to Manchester Piccadilly)
9:30 to 5 o’clock

Our keynote speaker is Professor Dave Gordon, Director of the Townsend
Centre for International Poverty Research. Dave combined his background in
biology and geology with anti-poverty policy, while helping to find safe
public water supplies in the South Pacific. He has researched and published
in the fields of the scientific measurement of poverty, crime and poverty,
childhood disability, area-based anti-poverty measures, the causal effects
of poverty on ill health, housing policy and rural poverty.

He has recently been working on a UNICEF and DFID funded project to produce
the first scientific measurements on the extent and nature of child poverty
for the whole world.
