About us
What is the Graduate Inequality Review?
BACKGROUND
The Graduate Inequality Review (GIR) is a student-run publication based on the Department of Social Policy and Intervention (DSPI) at the University of Oxford. It is dedicated as a platform for students, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to partake in dialogues on topics related to inequality. Since its inception in 2021, the GIR has brought together researchers from a wide variety of fields and disciplines within and outside the university through conferences and publications.
MISSION & VISION
Our founding mission is to foster a stronger interdisciplinary community to dive deeper into the complex issue of inequality. With contributions from various disciplines and fields such as political science, history, economics, sociology, environmental science, and engineering, inequality is a topic best understood through a multifaceted approach. This is why we offer a forum for discussion about the ways inequality has affected and shaped our world, the ways it will continue to do so, and what kind of solutions can attenuate these effects. Our team of editors works to bring together a yearly publication—combining both academic and perspective writing—that is released towards the end of the Trinity term every year. We also host an annual conference featuring the topics covered in the most recent version of the publication.
PARTNERSHIPS
In November 2023, the GIR and the Department of Social Policy and Intervention (DSPI) at the University of Oxford entered a partnership borne from shared objectives, particularly in fostering an interdisciplinary community to dive deeper into the complex issue of inequality. Through this collaboration, GIR has embarked on a bolder strategy by expanding its activities beyond publications and conferences. Dynamic forms of engagement, such as blog articles, community practice talks, and podcasts and video conversations, are now part of the GIR portfolio of projects.
