Advanced seminar
Regional Inequalities
Dr. Carina Cornesse
Comments
Regional and spatial disparities increasingly play an important role in scientific, public, and political debates on social inequality and social change. Economic opportunities are more limited in structurally weak areas, where, for example, processes of regional emigration and demographic change exacerbate the erosion of local infrastructures and opportunities, with far-reaching implications for people’s economic and social prospects. Residents of structurally strong regions, in turn, may benefit from infrastructural expansion and increasing demand, but also experience rising living expenses (particularly for homes and rental housing), gentrification, and displacement. There is a large body of social science research examining these regional developments and especially their effects on the social opportunities of individuals and households. This seminar provides insights into this field of research. Theoretical concepts of "regional inequalities" will be introduced and the current state of research on the most important dimensions of social inequalities will be discussed. close
