Irene Kacandes to Moderate Discussion on Inequalities with UCLA and Columbia Scholars

From: https://www.1014.nyc/events/humanities-for-humans-inequality

"How do scholars define inequality? What issues are researchers in Humanities fields debating with regard to inequality in the United States, Europe and elsewhere today? What does it mean when we label something "systemic"? How do different types of inequality intersect to an individual's or a group's detriment or benefit? What would have to happen to create more equal societies? What strategies could interrupt the reproduction of at least certain types of inequalities?"
