This project fell under a partnership between the African Centre of Excellence for Inequality Research (South African and Ghana nodes) and the London School of Economics (LSE). To complement the extensive body of work on the dynamics of vulnerability and poverty alleviation, this project aimed to ‘turn the telescope’ using a sociological lens, onto the structuring of privilege in South Africa and Ghana.
This project received funding through Prof Mike Savage from the International Inequalities Institute at LSE between November 2022 and March 2023. This was enabled by an award originally from the UKRI, Transforming Social Inequalities Through Inclusive Climate Action (TSITICA).
