DESCRIPTION:Panel Discussion\n\nIs there any more pressing question than U
 nderstanding Society? David Cameron has made ‘The Big Society’ a centr
 al plank of his agenda as if ‘society’ were self-evident. Can the grea
 t mavens of public thinking shed light on this central issue? \n\nLord Gid
 dens\, Professors Juliet Mitchell and Richard Sennett – some of the worl
 d’s leading sociologists\, psychoanalysts\, feminists and cultural histo
 rians – debate this issue at Kings Place. Lord Giddens is not only one o
 f the world’s most distinguished sociologists but also a key intellectua
 l figure in the development of the Labour government’s social policy the
  ‘Third Way’. Juliet Mitchell’s work on psychoanalysis and feminism 
 defines the field. If the personal is political\, what place is there for 
 social psychology in understanding society? Richard Sennett – recently d
 escribed as the sage of the tempers of our times – completes the panel. 
 His combination of broad political and social insight is crucial for a que
 stion as general as understanding society. \n\nProfessor Simon Franklin ch
 airs the discussion which is a culmination of the CRASSH lecture series on
  Understanding Society at the University of Cambridge autumn 2012.\n\nTick
