Comments
This course explores the multifaceted and interdependent nature of social inequalities. It goes beyond traditional metrics like the Gini coefficient to consider structural factors such as class, gender, race, migration and ecological conditions, among others. Participants will gain insights into the complexities of inequality in Latin America and beyond, the interaction between global and local structural forces and hierarchies, the strategies of resistance to these asymmetries, and how structural inequalities may persist despite recent compensatory policies. close
