Universitat Pompeu Fabra
Dr. Simone Schneider introduced the PERGAP project and presented findings from her past and ongoing work in her presentation: The (Mis)Perception of Inequality: Do Institutions Matter?
Drawing mainly on cross-national data, Simone presented an overview of her past and ongoing work on the public’s perception of inequality and justice and their relation to institutional inequalities enshrined in social policy frameworks. In this context, she introduced the ERC-funded PERGAP project which aims to advance knowledge on the societal causes leading to the (mis)perception of economic inequality by developing new instruments for the assessment and comparison of the institutional structure of welfare states and investigating their impact on perception and justification processes across different structural and cultural settings.
The presentation was part of the Research Forum 2023-2024 hosted at the Department of Political and Social Sciences at Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona. The audience included faculty members, researchers and students joining in-person and online.
