Social Inequality and Public Action

 

Social Inequality and Public Action (RG1). Contemporary societies, namely the Portuguese, are intersected by different types of social inequalities related to gender, class or ethnic group, among others. This RG assumes that the notion of social inequality is a priority, in analytical terms, for the study of social exclusion. Three analytical dimensions are privileged: socio-structural, organisational, and interactional. It also aims at proposing a renovation of theories and methods that go beyond the structuralist and social (inter)action perspectives.
