Abstract: Concern about rising economic inequality arises because of its implications for today’s society and of what it implies about where we are headed in the future.  Are inequalities within countries going to continue to widen?  This lecture asks what can be learned from historical experience and from economic models of the generation of inequality. It explores the long-run development of inequality of income and wealth in the US and in Europe. When have we succeeded in reducing inequality?  It argues that we need to go beyond first year economics in order to understand the forces influencing wages and capital incomes, and that the subject of inequality should be re-integrated into the mainstream of economics.

Sir Tony Atkinson, currently at Nuffield College, Oxford, works predominantly on the economics of income distribution,   poverty and security, micro-economics, and public economics. His research has led to an inequality measure named after him -- the Atkinson index.  Prior to Nuffield, Atkinson held positions at the University of Cambridge, University College London, the London School of Economics, and the University of Essex. He was elected a Fellow of the British Academy, a Fellow of the Econometric Society, Honorary Member of the American Economic Association, and Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Before entering the professorate, Dr. Arnetha Ball was a speech/language pathologist, taught in pre-school, elementary and secondary classrooms for over 25 years, and was the founder and executive director of an early education center for students of diverse backgrounds. Currently, she conducts an interdisciplinary program of research that aims to improve education for urban populations in three intersecting contexts: U.S. schools in which predominantly poor African American, Latino, and Pacific Islander students are underachieving; community-based organizations that are part of an alternative education system offering "second chance" or "last chance" opportunities for individuals in search of personal, academic, and economic success; and teacher education programs in the U.S. and South Africa.

Dr. Ball specializes in the preparation of teachers to teach in urban schools and has served as an academic specialist for the United States Information Services Program in South Africa. She has co-taught courses on multiliteracies and English methodologies in the teacher education program at Johannesburg College of Education, and has taught in the Further Diploma in Education Program at the University of Cape Town. Dr Ball's research integrates sociocultural, sociolinguistic, and ethnographic approaches to investigate the processes of teacher change, teacher generativity, and teacher development, as well as the language and literacy practices of students in multicultural and multilingual settings. She works with Duquesne University as their Sizemore Consulting Professor on issues of Urban Education and currently serves as President of the American Educational Research Association.
