The “Inequality by the Numbers” workshop takes a broad approach to the study of socio-economic inequalities – spanning inequalities in income, wealth, employment, education, social mobility, health, and happiness. Instructors focus on inequalities through multiple lenses and disciplines, including gender, class, race, age, immigration status, politics, and psychology. Disparities will be considered in several geographic contexts: within New York City, across the U.S. states, across countries, and globally.
Structure:
This workshop is targeted to Ph.D. students and early-career scholars, working in a range of social science disciplines — especially economics, sociology, political science, and psychology — and with a keen interest in socio-economic inequalities. We also welcome applications from interested persons from other settings, including journalism, foundations, and nonprofit organizations. Applicants should be comfortable with presentations and readings that rely on quantitative research/analytic methods.
Finances:
* There is no fee for attending the workshop.
* Attendees from outside of New York City are responsible for arranging and funding their own accommodation and travel.
* The workshop is funded by the Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality.
