Dr Paula Devine @QUBSSESW and Dr @Erin_Early_ @ASPS_UU delivered a presentation at the event 'The Invisible Man: Men’s Health - Look at the State of it' held in Stormont this week.

The presentation explored the need for a men's health policy in NI.

[Men's Action Network - Mental Health Charity @MAN_IN_DERRY]

Dr. Paula Devine:

"Northern Ireland needs a men's health policy. We've been saying this for over 5 years"

Discussed:

- Life Expectancy
- Deprivation Gaps
- Traveler Men
- Age Groups
- Causes of Death
- Cancers
- Suicide

We'd ask: Who's listening?...

Yesterday evening we were delighted to welcome Prof Aaron Reeves @LSEsociology to deliver our ARK at 25 lecture @UlsterUni .

Prof Reeves discussed findings from his recent book (co-authored with Prof Friedman) Born to Rule: The Making and Remaking of the British Elite.

[ARK @ARK_info]

Dr Dave Wall and Dr @Erin_Early_ provided responses drawing upon key issues for social policy and inequality that were raised in the lecture.

Thank you to all who attended. A recording of the lecture will be available on the ARK website soon.
