Towards equitable and just societies: Unravelling the Complexities
October 18-19, 2023
A Satellite of CCS-2023, Salvador, Brasil
Submission deadline: August 04, 2023 (Extended)

Topics
Systemic inequality renders life disproportionately challenging for disadvantaged individuals and groups. These inequalities permeate societies and institutions, characterised by intricate mechanisms of interaction. Addressing systemic inequality relies, in part, on effectively modeling it, describing its antecedents and outcomes, and identifying effective interventions. Applying a lens of complex systems to the study of inequality holds profound implications for enhancing societal and individual well-being. It has the potential to facilitate improved access to education, reduce income inequality, transform power dynamics, and mitigate the detrimental effects of discrimination, among others. By leveraging rich data on human interaction, complex systems approaches can be employed to examine the intricate processes that generate and perpetuate inequality. Numerous avenues exist for utilising complex systems to reduce inequality, including identifying vulnerable individuals and communities, discovering opportunities for network interventions, scrutinising power imbalances, and uncovering identity-based biases and under-representation across various domains (such as human mobility, public health, career advancement, political influence, and scientific collaboration, to name a few).
This satellite session welcomes experts from diverse fields, including theoretical network science, agent-based models, anthropology, analytical social science, experimental psychology, fairness in computer science, complex systems, and computational social science. This collaborative effort aims to provide a holistic perspective on inequality and foster advancements in its combat.
