Description: 

Since the onset of globalization, inequalities have been on the rise. While class struggle remains central, other forms of inequality—such as those based on gender, race, and ethnicity—have become increasingly recognized across societies. These inequalities have a decisive global impact, particularly in the asymmetries between the Global North and the Global South in terms of power differentials, access to resources, and extractivism. This critical dialogue invites speakers to address these issues, with particular attention to examples of resistance that seek to confront and transform such inequalities.
