The workshop ‘Reframing Inequalities – A Cross-Disciplinary Dialogue’, funded by the British Academy’ scheme for Early Career Networking Events and organised by LSE Law, aims to bring in conversation different disciplinary, theoretical, and methodological approaches to the study of inequalities. The event combines an academic focus on the cross-disciplinary study of inequalities with an emphasis on the sharing of academic experiences between senior and junior scholars with a common research interest. The workshop brings together some of the latest and most innovative work on inequalities from different disciplines.
