The (UN)PRIVILEGED Award Ceremony will include a photographic exhibition and a discussion about the long-term effects of social inequalities

Uí Chadhain Theatre, TCD Arts Building

Join Women in Research Ireland for an in-person conversation about the
 long-term effects of social inequalities while admiring our photographic
 exhibition showcasing the shortlisted international entries of our photo
 contest!Being aware of social inequalities and their pervasive effect on well-being and societal functioning is pivotal to the development of a solution.However, social inequalities and disadvantages are often hidden from our eye or difficult to pinpoint if we have not experienced them first-hand. We tackled this issue combining the points of view of arts and science. In the past months, we ran a photo contest asking contestants to capture through their lens the gap between privilege and disadvantage.The contest was an international success, with 59 entries from 10 different Countries worldwide including Bangladesh, India, Moldova, United Arab Emirates, and Brazil.During our in-person award ceremony, we will host a talk by Prof. Yekaterina Chzhen, assistant professor in Sociology at Trinity College Dublin and world renowned expert on poverty and inequality across the life course. Prof. Chzhen will present her research results about the effects of social inequalities on individuals and society while at the same time we will be showcasing the printed versions of our shortlisted submissions in a photographic exhibition.This will be followed by the announcement of the winner of our photographic contest selected by our panel of judges composed of professional photographer Mark Nixon, WIRI committee member Cathy Corcoran, and Trinity researcher Anna Truzzi.We are grateful to Trinity College Equality Fund for sponsoring both the photo contest and the award ceremony, allowing us to develop such an innovative and impactful project.Join us for the (UN)PRIVILEGED Award Ceremony 2022!
