Projects on Inequality

BRIDGE (Building Research on Inequality and Diversity to Grow Equity) aims to enhance knowledge of inequality’s patterns, causes, and consequences, promote dialogue and action about inequality’s impact, and invest in the training of future scholars of inequality. To this end, in May 2023, BRIDGE awarded resources to projects that nurture intellectual clusters examining inequality and identifying solutions, encourage scholarly interdisciplinary collaboration, and facilitate rigorous exploration of emerging research areas, including mobility and migration, education inequalities in higher education, housing, and social justice.
