This conference is designed to stimulate connections between various measures of inequality, disparity, and discrimination, be they the correlation of parent and child incomes, the variance of wages across workers, or group differences between outcomes, and with ethical considerations of the fairness of opportunities or rewards. As such we are bringing together social scientists, statisticians, and philosophers.
Participation is by invitation only.
