Professor Dame 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 collaboratively with local diversity and work within environmental limits. Her research focuses on redesigning prosperity for the 21st century through developing new approaches to transforming value creation in societies globally, and improving people’s quality of life. Her work seeks to drive transformations across the globe by fighting inequality, promoting social cohesion, safeguarding the environment, and providing education, health and decent employment. She integrates non-academic expertise into knowledge generation engaging with decision-makers, business, civil society, and communities. Her recent work crosses topics such as new economic models, Universal Basic Services, Artificial Intelligence, environmental degradation and decarbonisation, and displaced people, and places her as a respected leading intellectual at international level. She retains ongoing interests on issues of globalisation, mass migration, gender, social transformation and livelihood strategies, new technologies and agroecology.
She is committed to involving grassroots communities in the production of new types of knowledge through citizen science. Professor Moore led the creation and in 2023 the launch of the UCL Citizen Science Academy. Through the Academy, academics are training and equipping members of the public to conduct community-based research that can guide policy making and drive social change.
Professor Moore is currently co-chairing the British Academy Sustainability and Social Value Working Group, which, in collaboration with His Majesty's Treasury (HMT) and the Department for Business and Trade (DBT), is part of a larger strategy developing a new policy programme to explore the foundations of a sustainable and holistic strategy addressing fundamental questions about economic growth and development in the UK, bringing long-term and integrated thinking across disciplines to current policy debates. 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, and a Member of the Institute of Directors.
