With the support of the Commission for Racial Equality, the Equal
Opportunities Commission, the Disability Rights Commission and
Stonewall, the Fabian Equality Project will publish two pamphlets in
2007 tackling equality issues as well as holding a series of seminars
around equality and discrimination.
John Denham MP, Chair of the Home Affairs Committee, and Sadiq Khan MP,
elected for Tooting in May 2005, who are both members of the Fabian
Executive, are leading a Fabian project which seeks to make a
significant intervention into the debate about British Muslim
citizenship and integration.
This major Fabian research project will examine policies for narrowing inequalities in educational outcomes.
The Fabian Life Chances and Child Poverty Commission ran from 2004 to
2006. Its final report, 'Narrowing the Gap', has had a substantial
impact on policy and political debate about inequality, and the interim
report, 'What does the public really think about poverty?' was praised
for its innovative deliberative research into public attitudes. The
Fabian Society has held a number of major events to debate the
Commission's report and is now developing the work of the Commission
through further research, publications and events.
The Fabian Society, in association with the Webb Memorial Trust , are conducting a major new research project to celebrate the centenary of a landmark contribution to social justice.
