UCD Equality Studies Centre

About Equality Studies at UCD

The Equality Studies Centre was established in 1989 to advance the interdisciplinary study and critique of inequalities, and the envisioning of egalitarian futures. It hosts several national and international research networks and runs an annual programme of equality-related events. We invite scholars and students from around the world to join us for study, research and discussion.
