Inequality has social, political, historical, cultural, and ethical dimensions, beyond its usual focus in the "hard" social sciences.
We seek primarily Latin American or Caribbean scholars, from any field (or topical interest) in the Humanities, Historical or Social Sciences, whose work expands or innovates the study of inequalities.
