He founded the Sussex Centre for Research on Kindness\, an interdisciplinary research centre focused on illuminating the nature of kindness and its impacts on people and communities. Professor Banerjee recently led The Kindness Test\, a partnership with the BBC that became the world’s largest ever public science project on kindness\, as well as The Screen Test\, a partnership with the Radio Times that marked their centenary by exploring the power of television and radio in people’s lives.  He is also an expert advisor to EmpathyLab\, an organisation that works with schools\, libraries\, and other community stakeholders to promote empathy and reading for pleasure through the power of children’s books. \n\n  \n\nJennifer Nadel is the Co-director of the cross-party think tank\, Compassion in Politics and the Director of Compassionate Politics at Stanford University’s Centre for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education.  She has worked in and around Westminster for three decades and advised politicians and campaigns locally\, nationally and internationally.  A barrister\, author\, strategist\, keynote speaker and award-winning television  journalist (ex BBC\, Channel Four News and ITN)\, her books include:  Sunday Times bestseller\, WE: A Manifesto for Women Everywhere (written with Gillian Anderson);  How Compassion can Transform our Politics\, Economy and Society.  Her BBC Radio documentary\, Broken  Politics.Broken Politicians explores the mental health crisis in UK politics and the implications for democracy.
