Interviews

We will give voice to co-operative specialists from inside and outside the movement. We will interview thinkers, practitioners, academics and decision-makers about co--operatives and the fight against poverty. The first interview is with Prof Johnston Birchall who talks about his latest research project funded by the UK Economic and Social Research Council and how it links up with Co-operating Out Of Poverty.
