Annual Inequality Lecture 2025
Featuring Professor Ernest Aryeetey: We are pleased to announce our upcoming Annual Inequality Lecture, a flagship event that brings together leading scholars, policymakers, and the public to engage in meaningful dialogue on inequality. This year, we are honoured to host Professor Ernest Aryeetey. Professor Aryeetey will present a compelling lecture titled “Exploring the Changing Nature of Inequality in Africa”.
We’re excited to host Julia Hampton, she is a DPhil candidate at the Oxford Department of International Development (ODID). Based on seven months of ethnographic fieldwork in a Special Economic Zone in South Africa, her thesis investigates how, in a context of chronic long-term unemployment, an intervention aimed at fostering market inclusion ends up reproducing and legitimising poverty and inequality. She will be presenting on: "Staging a special economic zone (SEZ): economic representation amid uncertainty". Register now
