Inequalities and diversities

We investigate the role of structural inequalities, social identities, discrimination and exclusion in contemporary societies. Our work covers a range of aspects of division and diversity, including social class and income inequalities, gender, sex and sexualities, ‘race’/ethnicity, religion and migration, and identity and exclusion in communities and institutions. Several members of the group are involved in the interdisciplinary Sex, Gender and Sexualities research centre.
