Session 046: Unraveling the Complex Relationship between Poverty, Class, Inequality and Violence
Room: Joyce

Sponsor: Poverty, Class, and Inequality

Organizer: Sara Maani, University of Milan-Bicocca

Presider &

Discussant: Felicia Arriaga, Baruch College, CUNY

Description: 

In this session, we invite papers that explore the intricate structures and dynamics of the systemic inequalities and injustices that perpetuate violence, particularly against marginalized communities. We particularly welcome a critical sociological lens that discusses the underpinnings of poverty, class stratification, and inequality, highlighting how these elements foster violence against the most vulnerable populations. Discussions that uncover the ways in which exploitation and oppression reproduce poverty and social inequalities, reinforcing multiple stigmas and heightened exposure to violence, are encouraged. We welcome a diverse array of perspectives and methodologies, ranging from empirical studies and theoretical frameworks to detailed case analyses.
