About

    Segregation refers to the systematic separation of individuals or groups within a society based on characteristics such as race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, religion, or gender. This can manifest in various forms, including spatial segregation where certain groups are physically separated into distinct neighborhoods or communities, or social segregation where individuals are excluded or marginalized within social settings. Research on segregation often explores its causes, consequences, and potential solutions. Studies in this area may examine the historical and contemporary factors that contribute to segregation, such as discriminatory policies, economic disparities, and cultural attitudes. Researchers may also investigate the impact of segregation on individuals and communities, including its effects on social inequality, access to resources, and overall well-being. Overall, research on segregation aims to better understand the complex dynamics of social inequality and discrimination, and to identify strategies for promoting greater inclusivity and equity within societies.
