Inequality
Class will seek to address the persistence of inequality in our society by working with academics and experts to analyse its corrosive impacts and develop strong and effective policy proposals to address the many problems it poses to individuals and society.
We are already working on a number of projects in this area including developing an alternative economic strategy which focuses on how we can achieve a fairer economy for all.
