Keynote speakers
Bea Campbell
Independent writer, broadcaster and commentator on cities and society.
For more than 220 years Beatrix Campbell has been exploring relations between power and powerlessness, how neighbourhoods bereft of public and private capital manage their difficulties, how intra-communal power struggles undermines simplistic notions of community and civil society - themes which she has explored in Wigan Pier Re-visited and Goliath – Britain's Dangerous Places, in particular. Her forthcoming book, Agreement, explores the novel constitutional themes in the Northern Ireland Good Friday Agreement, especially the fascinating political tributaries of the Agreement, the capacity for change and the resistance to it, and the innovative equality and human rights disciplines on post-conflict governance.
