Research under the Social Determinants of Inequality area is coordinated by Professor Heather Royer.
Inequality is a powerful and pervasive issue, shaping nearly every dimension of life—from economic opportunities and education to social networks and political influence. This research area explores the social forces driving these disparities, including unequal access to secure, well-paying jobs, quality education, nutritious food, affordable housing, clean environments, and accessible healthcare.
These factors play a critical role in determining life chances, influencing individual outcomes and the overall well-being of societies. By examining inequality in both developed and developing contexts, this multidisciplinary group aims to uncover the root causes of disparity and identify actionable strategies to build a more equitable and inclusive world
