Building on the highly successful researcher-led meeting on Emerging Urban Inequalities in 2025, we are now organising a second one-day conference aimed at early career and post-graduate researchers in urban studies. This year we will continue our focus on empirical and theoretical work on urban inequalities, turning our emphasis from emerging dynamics to how different types of inequality are entangled with each other, and how they are impacting residents’ everyday lives. Our goal is to provide a supportive and engaging forum for work by postgraduate and early career researchers from across the urban studies community at Sheffield, the UK and internationally.
The conference ‘Entangled Urban Inequalities’ is organised by a cross-Faculty team from the Urban Institute, School of Information, Journalism and Communication, and the School of Geography and Planning, including staff and PGRs.
