Although social inequality is rising globally, increases in economic inequality and the unequal impact of poverty on diverse populations are most acute in the ‘Global South’ and among populations migrating from the Global South to the Global North. Yet research on this topic is heavily biased toward the 'Global North'. Therefore, social science has far less to offer as a body of knowledge concerning the causes and consequences of attitudes toward inequality and preferences for redistributive social policies in the Global South and about populations from the Global South. We seek presentation proposals that explore any aspect of preferences for redistribution outside the Global North, including but not limited to Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin American and the Caribbean.
