HCEO/briq Summer School on Socioeconomic Inequality (SSSI)

The Summer School on Socioeconomic Inequality provides an intensive one-week experience that teaches the tools needed to study questions related to inequality and human flourishing and also to communicate a sense of the research frontier in this area. Participants learn about the integration between psychological and sociological insights into the foundations of human behavior and conventional economic models. Through rigorous lectures students are trained on various tools needed to study the issue of inequality. During the Summer School students attend lectures, engage in discussions with leading faculty from around the world, present their own research, and interact with like-minded peers across the globe.
