Description
The research area covers research on social vulnerability, inequality and social problems in a broad sense. The area includes the study of, among other things, poverty and homelessness. Research projects in the field apply diverse methods and theories to analyze the consequences of inequality on several levels, from the local to comparative studies in an international perspective. Theories of power and intersectionality are central.
