Fair play

This accessible reader brings together a selection of highly influential writings by Danny Dorling which look at inequality and social justice, why they matter and what they are. Encompassing an extensive range of print and online media - including newspaper articles and key publications - 'Fair Play' provides evidence that Britain is becoming more politically, socially and economically divided whilst coming together in terms of educational outcomes and reduced segregation by ethnicity.

Daniel Dorling is Professor of Human Geography at the University of Sheffield. Before becoming a researcher and teacher he worked in children's playgroups and play-schemes. He has taught in universities in Newcastle, Bristol, Leeds and New Zealand. He is an Academician of the Academy of the Learned Societies in the Social Sciences, a patron of the charity RoadPeace and is current president of the Society of Cartographers.
