Danny Dorling is a British social geographer whose pioneering work in visualizing spatial social structures reveals critical insights about inequality, poverty, and health across societies. His research transforms complex demographic data into accessible knowledge.
As the Halford Mackinder Professor of Geography at the University of Oxford, Danny co-founded the Worldmapper project, featuring over 700 world maps that illuminate international statistics. His influential books include "Injustice: Why Social Inequality Persists" and "All That Is Solid: The Great Housing Disaster."
Danny's expertise helps organisations understand the geographical dimensions of social challenges, enabling more effective policy development. His innovative cartogram techniques allow institutions to visualise demographic patterns that traditional maps obscure, providing crucial context for addressing housing crises, healthcare disparities, and economic inequality.
Audiences gain practical frameworks for interpreting social statistics beyond headlines, tools for recognising how geography shapes opportunity, and methods for developing place-sensitive solutions to complex problems. Danny's presentations transform abstract data into compelling narratives about human experience.
Book Danny for a rare combination of academic rigour and accessibility that transforms how audiences understand the social geography shaping our world today.
