Cross-Disciplinary Perspectives on Inequality is a new round-table discussion series introduced by CIREQ. Each event in the series will bring together a panel of social scientists from various disciplines to discuss aspects of inequality from different perspectives.
This is the first of two round-table discussions this year and the inaugural event of the series. It is open to everyone interested in the topic. The second round-table discussion is scheduled for November 26, 2021, on Redistribution and Fiscal Policies. Stay tuned for future announcements.
