desiguALdades.net is an international, interdisciplinary, and multi-institutional research network. It addresses phenomena of social inequalities in Latin America that are embedded into transregional social configurations and that need to be analyzed within theoretical and methodological frameworks going beyond the nation state. By putting the emphasis on the interdependencies between different world regions, desiguALdades.net aims at overcoming the methodological nationalisms that until now have dominated research on social inequality.
