Introduction
Professor Henrietta L. Moore is the Founder and Director of the Institute for Global Prosperity and the Chair in Culture Philosophy and Design at University College London (UCL). A leading global thinker on prosperity, Professor Moore challenges traditional economic models of growth arguing that to flourish communities, businesses and governments need to engage with diversity and work within environmental limits. Her work crosses disciplines, from social science to the arts to business innovation and she applies these different perspectives to inform research and policy at all levels.
Her recent work has focused on topics such as Universal Basic Services, social justice, ecological transitions, Artificial Intelligence, displaced people and digital services as a respected leading intellectual. She retains ongoing interests on issues of globalisation, mass migration, gender, social transformation and livelihood strategies, new technologies and agroecology which have shaped her career and her engagement with policy making. She is committed to involving grassroots communities in the production of new types of knowledge through citizen science.
In 2016 Professor Moore was made Dame Commander for the British Empire for contribution to social sciences, business, policy and the arts. She is the lead academic on the ESRC-funded RELIEF Centre aiming to improve levels of prosperity in Lebanon, the country with the world’s largest number of refugees per capita. She is Chair of the London Prosperity Board and of FastForward 2030, a network and collaborative platform for businesses aiming to incorporate the Sustainable Development Goals into their business models. She is a Fellow of the British Academy, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, an Academician of the Learned Societies for the Social Sciences, a Fellow of the Clean Growth Leadership Network and a Member of the Institute of Directors.
