Britain and the Global Financial Crisis
 2008 closed amid doom and gloom and panic headlines about the country's slide into recession. Headlines such as "First recession in 16 years", "Britain Enters Recession", "Britain Spirals into Recession" were everywhere.
Over the coming months, the ESRC is hosting a series of events surrounding the global financial crisis.
Public Lecture Series
A series of ESRC public lectures are looking at issues such as how recession affects our mental health and happiness, what the impact of recession will be on global poverty, and whether it is a threat or an opportunity for the green economy. Events include:
Public Policy Seminars
The ESRC will also be running a series of Public Policy Seminar series which will be a platform for expert researcher and practitioners to explore the important economic and policy issues facing the UK and the wider global society in the changing economic circumstances. The seminars aim to bring the best social science concepts and evidence into the policy arena and stimulate a discussion of how, in the light of these insights, policy can be developed. The goal is to encourage evidence-based policy through an exchange between researchers and policy-makers on the changing economic circumstances. The series will be supported with a publication which expands on the presentations and available evidence-base.
