The aim of the conference is to bring together current examples of innovative and important research on inequality from across the social sciences and to help chart a path forward for interdisciplinary research on inequality.
We invite submissions of innovative research papers on any aspect of inequality, especially (but not exclusively) those related to the III’s main research programmes, namely: (i) Wealth, Elites and Tax Justice; (ii) Opportunity and Mobility; (iii) Perceptions of Inequality; (iv) Gender Justice and the Wellbeing Economy; (v) research related to the III’s Global Inequality Observatory.
The conference will feature two Keynote Speakers:
Leslie McCall, Stone Center, City University of New York
Thomas Piketty, Paris School of Economics
The conference will also include a panel discussion on the present and future of research on inequality, with the participation of Armine Ishkanian (LSE), Anne Phillips (LSE) Francisco Ferreira (LSE) and others.
A full programme will be shared on this page soon.
