  • About
In The Politics of Inequality, David Pettinicchio has gathered an interdisciplinary team of leading experts to make a valuable contribution to the existing inequalities literature through a political sociology lens. Broad social, political and economic forces associated with neoliberalism and globalization, climate change, migration and immigration, health, global financial crises, and crime and punishment, among others, have manifested themselves in a variety of different ways, in turn influencing the politics of inequality across local, national and international contexts. 

This volume explores a wide range of topics showcasing the multidimensional nature of the politics of inequality. Some of these topics include inequalities within democratic movements, youth political engagement, environmental justice, the impacts of neoliberal capitalism on reproductive autonomy, the politics of educational inequalities, the effects of different forms of collective action on perceptions of inequality, public health and care work, the intersection of race and LGBTQ status in political representation, and much more.

    David Pettinicchio, Department of Sociology and the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, University of Toronto, specializes in the intersection of political sociology and the study of inequality. More specifically, he is interested in how the interaction between institutions and actors perpetuate unequal political and economic outcomes, and the various mechanisms employed by elites and citizens alike seeking to challenge inequality.
