PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
"Robert Walker is Professor in the Department of Sociology at Beijing Normal University under China's ""High-Level Foreign Talents"" programme. He is Professor Emeritus at the University of Oxford where he is also an Emeritus Fellow of Green Templeton College. He was formerly Professor of Social Policy at the University of Nottingham. His books include The Shame of Poverty (2014)."
Robert Walker has a top command of the disciplines he practices. Yet, unlike many academics, he took the risk of considering as co-researchers people who endure dire poverty and practitioners from several countries, confronting his own thoughts with theirs on equal footing for several years. The relevance of the knowledge he produces has been magnified through this very demanding process. His book is a must read for NGOs involved in fighting poverty and promoting human rights. -- Xavier Godinot, Research Director, ATD Fourth World Robert Walker provides an illuminating, wide-ranging and thorough critical analysis of SDG1 and a global world order that has failed to show the political will necessary to end poverty. Offering some hope, he points the way to a very different world order that enshrines the principle that ‘poverty needs be no more’ -- Baroness Lister, Emeritus Professor of Social Policy, Loughborough University
