2018 – Global inequalities

University of Manchester


This conference focused on global inequalities, challenging the traditional geographies of development, and demanding investigation of the power relations that generate wealth and poverty within and between countries and regions. It also emphasised the many dimensions of inequality, including gender, class, climate, race and ethnicity, region, nationality, citizenship status, age, (dis)ability, sexuality, and religion and the ways these reinforce or counteract each other.

Plenary Speakers

José Gabriel Palma (University of Cambridge & USACH)

Ann Marie Goetz (New York University)

Sakiko Fukuda-Parr (The New School)

Dorcas Erskine (ActionAid)

Alex Cobham (Tax Justice Network)
