What causes social inequality? How intersecting disadvantages shape lives

Understanding what causes inequality is all the more important in a world in which access to learning and employment has been reshaped by the pandemic restrictions. This webinar presents new thinking on the drivers of social inequality and shows how focusing on only one aspect of inequality such as social class gives an incomplete view of the intersecting disadvantages shaping the lives of individuals, families and communities.

When: 
Wednesday, November 25, 2020 - 15:00 to 16:30
