Advanced seminar
Social Inequality During Times of Crisis
Dr. Carina Cornesse
Comments
Times of crisis are highly dynamic and can either accentuate established inequalities, shake them up, or leave them unchanged. In many crises and their aftermath, there are societal groups who win and groups who lose. This can happen along various characteristics, including class, race, and gender. The societal causes and consequences of crises include socio-economic dimensions, such as income, wealth, and health, but also more subtle phenomena, such as (perceived) social cohesion. This seminar will look at some examples of societal crises in the 21st century to establish how they relate to social inequality in Europe and beyond. Examples will include peaceful economic or political events as well as violent crises, such as wars and the pandemic. In each case, the questions will be: How, if at all, is the crisis shaped by social inequality? And how did the crisis change dynamics in social inequality? In addition to exploring examples, the seminar will zoom out from each individual case to critically reflect the theoretical foundations, overarching processes, as well as data collection and analysis problems of studying social inequality during times of crisis. close
