INEQ – Helsinki Inequality Initiative brings together academics whose work enhances understanding of causes and consequences of intersecting inequalities. INEQ is a strategic, multidisciplinary research initiative of the University of Helsinki. It brings together scholars from different strands of social sciences and humanities, posing interrelated questions of recognition, representation and responsibility. INEQ is funded by the Academy of Finland profiling action, and by the joint effort of Faculty of Social Sciences, the Faculty of Law, the Faculty of Arts, the Faculty of Theology, the Faculty of Educational Sciences, the Faculty of Science, and the Faculty of Medicine, as well and the Swedish School of Social Science.
