Forms of Inequality and the Legitimacy of Governance"Mainstream publications have recently addressed inequalities in health, income, education, labour market and competition, and the gaps between different parts of a country. While concern with inequalities stays at the forefront of today’s policy debates, worldwide, equality of opportunities, of access to resources, to compete continues to be a utopia. This Conference aims to address variations of inequality across the world, the socio-economic, fiscal, legislative and political forces that determine them and the efficacy and legitimacy of the policies implemented to tackle them. In view of the fundamental distinction between equality and levelling argued comparatively in "Urban Inequalities: Ethnographically Informed Reflections" (Palgrave Macmillan, 2021), we invite scholars from the social sciences to participate in this event with ethnographically based papers to address key topics in this field.
