Inequality and Diversity in European Rural Areas
The conference will provide important opportunities for rural social scientists to explore new evidence and approaches to understanding rural diversity and inequality.It will seek to pose new questions around both traditional and emerging conflicts
With globalisation has come an increase in disparity among individuals, groups, territories, and states. Depending on specific contexts, diversity can be a source of discrimination - and therefore of inequality – or of empowerment. Rural areas are strongly affected by these trends.
The ESRS Congress will address this issue by looking at the following themes:
- Growing inequalities at the global scale: what is the role of food, natural resources, rural areas
- The multidimensionality of inequality and the importance of diversity: what implications for rural sociology
- Diversity in space and rural areas
- Diversity and inequality – Implications for the governance of European States and Institutions
Focus on the working on Sustainability, transition and change in the rural areas of South Eastern Europe:
- Natalija Bogdanov, University of Belgrade
- Andrea Segrè, University of Bologna
- Matteo Vittuari, University of Bologna
