The topic of the twelfth edition of the ECSR Spring School is The Analysis of Social and Educational Inequalities. The School is promoted by the European Consortium of Sociological Research (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 current research on educational inequalities, including the influence of ascribed factors (social origin, gender, migration background, etc.) on educational outcomes, the teacher assessment of school abilities and performance, and the relationship between education, training, and the labor market.

A limited number of doctoral students and young researchers will participate in a four-day, full-immersion course, including lectures on the key conceptual and methodological topics in the field, workshops, and the opportunity to present their work and have it discussed by leading scholars in the field.

The School is organized by Nazareno Panichella (University of Milan, scientific coordinator), Filippo Barbera (Collegio Carlo Alberto and University of Turin), Camilla Borgna (University of Turin), Stefano Cantalini (University of Milan), Tiziana Nazio (Collegio Carlo Alberto and University of Turin), Emanuela Struffolino (University of Milan), Moris Triventi (University of Milan) and Antonina Zhelenkova (University of Milan, practical organization).

Lectures will be given and presentations discussed by Katherin Barg (University of Bristol), Camilla Borgna (University of Turin), Stefano Cantalini (University of Milan), Herman G. Van De Werfhorst (European University Institute), Marita Jacob (University of Cologne), Tiziana Nazio (Collegio Carlo Alberto and University of Turin), Nazareno Panichella (University of Milan), Paula Protsch (University of Cologne and Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (BIBB)), Emanuela Struffolino (University of Milan) and Moris Triventi (University of Milan).
