RSS Inequality Working Group

This workshop provides graduate students with opportunities to share their research at any stage with students and faculty working on a variety of issues related to inequality and social stratification. The primary goal of the Inequality Working Group (IWG) is to assist graduate students with writing papers for publication in peer-reviewed journals as well as writing successful grant and fellowship proposals. The IWG also aims to help students develop the professional skills needed for a successful career after graduate school.

The typical format for each session will consist of a student presenter circulating a draft of their paper in advance of the meeting and group participants will then read the paper and prepare comments. For the first part of the meeting, the author will give a 15-20 minute presentation outlining the key points of the paper, and the remaining time will be used for group discussion. In addition to student presentations, several meetings per semester may be used for discussion of professionalization topics, critical review of published research, faculty research presentations, and guest speakers.

The IWG is open to all interested graduate students and provides those at any stage of their training with opportunities to participate. In order to create a vibrant, comfortable, and close-knit intellectual community, attendance and participation at all meetings is mandatory.

Faculty participating in the Inequality Working Group include:

Elizabeth Bruch, Sarah Burgard, David Harding (WN13 faculty facilitator), Jeff Morenoff, Silvia Pedraza, Fabian Pfeffer
