The research group on social justice, politics and inequalities aims to study inequalities and social justice, which is indispensable for questioning the values and rights defended by democratic societies. From different perspectives, contexts and issues, we study inequalities at different levels, from the most local to the most global and according to different criteria such as socio-cultural, economic and political variables, access to justice and rights, from a broad and interdisciplinary approach. It integrates an international network, most notably Professors Alexandra Poli of the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS/France),  Michel Wieviorka of the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme (FMSH/France), Odile Hoffmann of the Institut de recherche pour le développement (IRD/France) and Karina Ansolabehere of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM/Mexico).

This group is also related to the IRC Political radicalisms, extreme right and justice system, and to the research Racial Affirmative Action and Public Bureaucracy

Research

Inequalities, the Construction of the Other and Ethnic-Racial Policies

Coordination: Rebecca Lemos Igreja

This project focuses on drawing ideological profiles of conservative governments and ideological profiles of the right and extreme right and how they are consolidated, (re)creating and legitimizing inequalities and social exclusions of all kinds. In particular, it is interesting to trace the ways through which the "other" is constructed, as opposition in the search of legitimation and from which identities are redefined. Specifically, to carry out the research, the project takes the Bolsonaro government as a subject of study, taking into account the indigenous and black issue.
