Summer School on Socioeconomic Opportunity and Inequality at the Institute of Applied Economic Research

The Summer School on Socioeconomic Opportunity and Inequality seeks to provide the next generation of scholars with the multidisciplinary underpinning necessary for effective research on inequality dynamics. It features leading scholars tackling inequality research from the lens of economics, sociology, and public policy, to foster cross-disciplinary approaches to inequality research and public policy evaluation regarding long-term inequality issues. It also engages advanced Ph.D. students and early-career faculty through immersive lectures on state-of-the-art methods for inequality research, one-on-one and small-group meetings with senior researchers, and poster sessions where summer school students can receive input on their early-stage research from the research community. The summer schools are designed to yield long-term benefits in creating lasting intellectual links that can be pursued long after the conclusion of the meetings. Organized in partnership between the Stone Center for Research on Wealth Inequality, the International Inequalities Institute at LSE, and the Institute of Applied Economic Research (IPEA) in Brasilia, Brazil.  

Participation is by invitation only.
