Organised by St Paul's Institute in partnership with the LSE Faith Centre, LSE Life and LSE Careers. An expert panel discuss the nature of "meaningful work" in a public event to launch a new series of LSE student workshops to explore purpose and meaning in the world of work. 

Is it possible to reconcile your values with the demanding profit-driven structures of modern professional life? Are some sectors more meaningful than others or does every career have the potential for meaningful work? How can our values and/or beliefs best inform our work and make a positive difference in the world?

Speakers

Professor Richard Sennett, Centennial Professor of Sociology at the LSE

Tim Frost, Director of Cairn Capital

Dr Ruth Kosmin, Former Head of European Economics at HM Treasury

Chaired by Barbara Ridpath, Director of the St Paul's Institute
