Programme by Session

Social Capital, as a concept in philosophy and sociology, is defined as an individual's ability to affect their community. This ability comes from an individual's access to social resources, such as people and public spaces, the relationships among those resources, and the impact relationships have on those resources. In the context of social justice, equality and diversity, a person's Social Capital can be understood as their ability to affect the thinking of those around them to improve the life and working conditions of marginalised groups. In this talk, I will discuss the theoretical underpinnings of social capital, provide examples of how social capital can be used in the context of allyship for marginalised groups, and finally discuss dangers presented by the accumulation and monopolisation of social capital.
