TASC Annual Lecture
The TASC Annual Lecture is a major event in TASC’s calendar. In the past we have had international speakers such as economist James Galbraith, and closer to home Kathleen Lynch and Peter McVerry, each of whom has shone a light on a particular aspect of economic inequality.  

Building on Thomas Piketty's keynote address to the TASC Annual Conference in June, this year's TASC Annual Lecture will be delivered by Brian Nolan, a distinguished academic and Ireland's foremost expert on income inequality and its societal impacts.

Brian Nolan took up the roles of Director of the Employment, Equity and Growth Programme at INET Oxford and Professor of Social Policy at Oxford in September 2014. He was previously Principal of the College of Human Sciences at University College Dublin. His recent books with Oxford University Press include The Handbook of Economic Inequality (2011) co-edited with W. Salverda and T.Smeeding and The Great Recession and the Distribution of Household Income (2013) co-edited with S. Jenkins, A. Brandolini and J. Micklewright.

The lecture will take place on Thursday, 20th November, in the Royal College of Physicians at No. 6 Kildare Street. Doors will open at 6 pm, and we would ask people to be seated by 6.30 p.m. Although there is no admission fee for this event, we will be seeking donations on the night to help defray costs.
