This talk addresses ‘The Dangers of Indifference’ and examines how ignoring issues that do not directly impact us can lead to catastrophic consequences. It analyses the life of Elie Wiesel, Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize winner, and uses his life as a lense to explore indifference. It also analyses how privilege can influence the act of indifference. Amy Sparrow is a teacher of history and English, Director of Activities and soon to be Housemistress at Haileybury College.
