Launch of the Dædalus Issue on Inequality
Nov 1, 2019

Cambridge, MA
Join us for the release of the summer 2019 Dædalus issue Inequality as a Multidimensional Process, a collective volume by CIFAR’s Successful Societies program.
This issue, guest-edited by Michèle Lamont and Paul Pierson, explores the cultural and social frameworks that can put societies on a path toward greater and more equitable prosperity in the face of increasingly persistent inequality. Through an intimate and interactive panel discussion moderated by Jennifer Hochschild, the launch event will explore key insights for why many forms of social inequalities appear so intractable and self-reinforcing and their implications on current and emerging policies.
Cosponsored by CIFAR and the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs.
