The Atkinson Conference on Economic and Social Inequality

The Atkinson Conference on Economic and Social Inequality brings together leading researchers from economics, sociology, social policy, and related disciplines for two days of interdisciplinary exchange at Nuffield College, Oxford. The conference is jointly coordinated by the Department of Social Policy & Intervention (DSPI), the Institute for New Economic Thinking at the Oxford Martin School (INET Oxford), and Nuffield College.

The conference is named in honour of Sir Anthony (Tony) Atkinson (1944–2017), one of the most influential scholars of inequality. Atkinson was a Fellow of Nuffield College for over two decades and Warden of the College from 1994 to 2005. His work continues to shape how we understand and address inequality around the world.

We welcome both established and early-career scholars working on questions of economic and social inequality, broadly defined. There are no registration fees.
