UNU will host “Addressing Group-based Inequality: A Range of Measures”, a BIG IDEAS Dialogue with Dr. Rachel Gisselquist, Senior Research Fellow at UNU-WIDER in Helsinki, Finland.
Addressing inequality between groups is a core component of Leave No One Behind — the central, transformative promise of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Focusing on inequalities between ethnic and racial groups, this event will consider a range of measures to promote greater equality and social inclusion and argue for the need for greater attention to the politics of their adoption and implementation.
Dr. Gisselquist will join UNU Senior Vice-Rector Sawako Shirahase to discuss the work of the Addressing Group-based Inequality project at UNU-WIDER, including a new dataset on affirmative action around the world.
The BIG IDEAS: SDGs Dialogue Series introduces the people, projects, and organizations behind shared efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Each event features leading representatives and researchers from international organizations, UN agencies, and UNU institutes to stimulate discussion on sustainable development issues and initiatives. The events provide a unique opportunity for young researchers, graduate students, and civil society to become more familiar with SDG-related topics, ask questions, and learn how they can contribute to local and global SDG progress.
