Training Programs

Creating early-career pathways to inequality research is a hallmark of the Stone Center. Our training programs provide early career researchers with access to expert faculty, mentorship, and networking, offering an environment conducive to growth as a researcher:

Summer School on Socioeconomic Opportunity

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 will also train advanced M.A. and Ph.D. students, policy professionals, 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 presentation opportunities for summer school students where they 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.

This is an admit-only training led by a roster of multidisciplinary leading scholars. Applications are collected each Spring.
