Preparation	Group work: written report and oral presentation (see below)

For this seminar, you will work in pre-assigned groups. These groups may start their work right after Tuesday's study visit. On Monday (lec 3), we reviewed the overall trends and statistics of inequality and on Tuesday, we encountered the loved reality of poverty in Gothenburg. What we did not explicitly grapple with is the underlying mechanisms that drive inequality in Gothenburg. As indicated in the Jämlikhetsrapporten (and as we know from last week's literature), these mechanisms and manifold and they may straddle the social, economic, fiscal, political, cultural and other spheres.

The assignment for your group is to identify one such mechanism: a factor that drives/aggravates inequality in Gothenburg. We need to do a tiny bit of "fieldwork" for this assignment. Rather than merely describing the mechanism you identify in abstract terms, we want you to "explore" the city and include your own pictures or descriptions, to illustrate how the mechanism you identify "works" or becomes manifest. You need to have a report of < 1000 words ready before the seminar (submit here), which covers the following components:

Define the mechanism you have chosen and explain how/why this aggravates inequality.
Substantiate this with more explanation, examples and/or illustration.
Add two references to an academic source that relates to your mechanism (in general or in relation to another context)
Identify possible interventions to redress the workings of your mechanism.

You also need to prepare a 5-8 minute presentation for the class.

In the seminar, each group will present and there will be time to discuss and share observations.
