Student Assistants

The ever-widening gap between the rich and the poor, the rise of populists worldwide, the sharing of burdens in the fight against climate change, the injustices in the education system – whatever else current debates are about, they are always about inequality, too. These issues are so complex that science is still struggling with them.

This is where we and our Cluster of Excellence come in and investigate "The Politics of Inequality" – the political causes and consequences of inequality.

We are looking for
