*Session Title**ː*

Global inequalities and pandemic diseasesː recent and historical impacts of
contagious diseases on within- and between-country inequalities

*Abstract**ː*

Global inequalities have not shown any recent sign of improvement,
revealing increasing disparities between the Haves and the Have Nots.  The
recent pandemic has exacerbated deep divisions, and the disparities today
are widening due to the continuing pandemic impacts on the world economy.
How have economic growth and development and the distributions of wealth
and income been impacted by the recent and earlier pandemics and how have
national and global policies changed in ways that can help mitigate growing
inequalities within countries and in the larger global social system.



The session calls for papers that explore global inequalities and their
links with health disparities and pandemic diseases and anthropogenic and
non-anthropogenic environmental changes in recent and historical
perspectives.



The session is open to studies that investigate socio-economic disparities
and their relationships with pandemics impacts, environmental issues,
inter-generational mobility and conflict, precarious class formations,
gender, race/ethnicity, education, and migration.  And we seek contributors
who will address political, economic, social, and psychological aspects of
these issues.
