How does the law address inequality and discrimination at various levels (national, regional, international)? How does the law contribute to perpetuating inequality and discrimination? How can legal frameworks and institutions be enhanced to better tackle these issues?
Developing innovative, evidence-based perspectives — Contributing to more inclusive and equitable societies
The new Research Platform on Equality Legal Studies (EQUALS) provides a dynamic space for scholars from different fields within our School of Law to examine how law and society either sustain or dismantle inequality and discrimination. With a focus on critical issues such as structural discrimination, intersectionality, institutional dynamics, and the role of societal practices, EQUALS unites researchers to address the urgent and evolving challenges posed by inequality in today’s contexts. By exploring these issues through different perspectives, the platform aims to generate innovative, evidence-based perspectives that can contribute to more inclusive and equitable societies.
