Conference “Re-Thinking Social Inequality” – Report Published

Recently, an interesting report of the conference “Re-Thinking Social Inequality” (12-15 May 2014, Hannover, Germany) was published at H-Soz-u-Kult. In the report, Vera Szöllösi-Brenig reviews the controversial discussions of the conference that, among other things, revolved around the question of how the social sciences cannot only further our understanding of social inequality but also contribute to a more sustainable handling of its effects. The report can be found at here (only available in German).
