Danny Dorling is a British social geographer whose work critically examines inequality and human geography. He focuses on issues of housing, health, employment, education, and poverty, striving to retain an ethos of play as learning for life, informed by early experiences. His extensive publications on social inequalities, often open access, explore global perspectives and aim to counter narrow viewpoints, reflecting a commitment to accessible research on societal disparities.

Dorling brings together new material alongside a selection of his most recent writing on inequality from publications including the Daily Telegraph, the Guardian, New Statesman, Financial Times and the China People's Daily.
