The seminar on "Social Inequalities in Today's World" aims to analyze the main dimensions, axes, and variables that shape Spain's social structure, in its evolution, from an internationally oriented comparative perspective.
To this end, the following will be analyzed over the various days: the structuring trends and changes in Spanish society; from poverty and social exclusion to the role of political parties and the changes taking place in the electoral behavior of Spaniards; the situation of women and feminism as a driving force for change; the values, ideologies, and beliefs existing in Spanish society; scientific culture in Spain; migration processes; the situation of young people and their future; and the old and new cultures and mentalities in Spanish society.
The conferences will attempt to unite the plurality and diversity of theoretical and methodological approaches from which the social sciences address the evolution of Spanish society, particularly in recent years, with its generational and gender diversity.
