Faculty of Social Sciences Public Lecture with Andrew Oswald
FAB0.03

The Department of Economics are delighted to host our first public lecture in the Faculty of Social Sciences Public Lecture series, with Professor Andrew Oswald.

'Societal Unhappiness and the Uncertain Future of Democracy'

Date: Tuesday 30 April
Time: 5.30-6.30pm followed by a short drinks reception
Location: FAB0.03, Faculty of Arts Building

You will have the opportunity to ask the speaker any questions in a Q&A at the end of the lecture, as well as meet the speaker in a drinks reception after the lecture, in the Faculty of Arts foyer.

About the Lecture

Mental health and happiness are worsening through time in the United States*. Approximately 40% of citizens in Western Europe today report high levels of worry, and there is a continuing upward trend in ‘national worry’. These trends were visible before COVID, the invasion of Ukraine, and the conflict in Gaza, showing that something foundational and unrealised is happening within Western society. Measured levels of trust are declining quickly.

Andrew Oswald will discuss the nature of these concerning issues, exploring why an unhappy population puts a country's faith in government and the future of democracy at risk. He will leave plenty of time for questions and open discussion.

*Trends in Extreme Distress in the United States, American Journal of Public Health, 2020,110, 1538-1544.

*Unhappiness and Pain in Modern America, Journal of Economic Literature, 2019, 57, 385-402.
