13th-17th March, 2017
Collegio Carlo Alberto
Via Real Collegio 30, Moncalieri (Turin), Italy

The topic for the fifth edition of the ECSR Spring School is "The intergenerational transmission of socio-economic status and inequality: patterns and mechanisms". The School is promoted by ECSR, Collegio Carlo Alberto and by the universities of Milan and Turin in the frame of the NASP, Network for the Advancement in Social and Political Studies. It provides high-quality training on leading-edge theories and methodological approaches to the quantitative analysis of the intergenerational transmission of both social and economic resources and its impact on equality of opportunity over time. Particular attention will be given to the integration of different disciplinary perspectives (sociological, demographic and economic) in a consistent theoretical and empirical framework. A limited number of doctoral students and young researchers will participate to a five-day, full-immersion course, including lectures on the key current issues in the field as well as on major methodological issues, and the opportunity to present their work and have it discussed by leading scholars in the field.
The School is organized by Gabriele Ballarino (University of Milan), Fabrizio Bernardi (ECSR, EUI), Filippo Barbera, Tiziana Nazio and Cristina Solera (Collegio Carlo Alberto and University of Turin).
