Societies vary in how much children's income and status are predicted by those of their parents. This course prepares students
to consider the underlying causes and consequences of different patterns of social mobility throughout world history, adopting three
guiding themes: inequality and social mobility, education as an engine of social mobility, and justice. The first two themes are critical
to understanding how differences in social mobility arise across societies, while ‘justice’ introduces a framework for students to
consider how social mobility is experienced. Is high inequality accompanied by high social mobility? Are societies with greater social
mobility more meritocratic? Are they more efficient? Students will additionally gain insight into the methods adopted for measuring social mobility.
