The Human Ecology of Social Inequality

This conference explores the formation, dynamics, and intersections of socioeconomic inequality in the United States, as well as the economic, political, and social implications increasing levels of socioeconomic inequality present for current and future generations. A diverse group of multidisciplinary keynote speakers and select UC Davis faculty will address these issues from their respective disciplinary vantage points, with a specific focus on how socioeconomic inequality influences outcomes experienced by individuals and communities, the built environment, and sociopolitical power dynamics in the United States. Key note addresses by Dale Dannefer, Ph.D. (Case Western University), Darrick Hamilton, Ph.D. (New School University), and Diane Jones Allen, Ph.D. (Design Jones, LLC).
