Inequality as an interdisciplinary research field – how does a research platform begin its work?
The CBS Business in Society Platform with the accurate name Inequality is a reality since March 2018. But how do the researchers work and what are they up to in a first semester of new beginnings?
Academic Directors Birthe Larsen, Associate Professor, Ph.D and Mogens Kamp Justesen, Professor (mso) explains: ‘In a short period of time, we have come a long way towards establishing the inequality agenda as an interdisciplinary research field that is highly relevant for business and the wider society.
A large number of events and seminars, visits and travels, publications and newspaper contributions are already a part of the platform universe. And there is much more to come: participation at the conferences AoM in July, and the official launch of the platform in October.’
