In_equality Conference 2024 II 10-12 April 2024
Bodenseeforum Konstanz & online
Highlights of the 2024 In_equality Conference! Thanks to all our keynotes, presenters and attendees for such a great atmosphere and engaging conference. See you next time!
The In_equality Conference 2024 proved to be an exceptional gathering for international and interdisciplinary researchers, providing a dynamic platform for vibrant discussions and the exchange of innovative ideas in the field of inequality research. With more than 500 participants representing over 50 countries, both on-site and online, the conference fostered a global dialogue on inequality.
Inequality continues to be a crucial issue in both academic and public discourse, particularly in the context of significant societal transformations. This year’s conference delved into the origins and effects of inequality across various dimensions and empirical fields. The three-day program included 27 interdisciplinary panels that addressed a wide range of topics, including gender, ethnicity, wealth, educational inequality, language, welfare state issues, debt, austerity, and climate change. Complementing the scientific presentations, the “Satellite Programme” featured roundtables on various relevant subjects such as knowledge transfer, open science, and perspectives from the Global South.
We look forward to continuing this vital dialogue and advancing global inequality research in future events.

Climate-neutral Conference
In our commitment to environmental sustainability, we have organised a climate-neutral conference. We are following the guiding principle of “Avoid, Reduce, Compensate” to minimize our carbon footprint.
Furthermore, we have live-streamed all panel discussions to ensure a hybrid conference experience. This reduced carbon emissions and widens opportunities for those who faced long-distance journeys to participate.
