Description: This thoughtfully edited volume explores the operation of equality and discrimination law in times of crisis. It aims to understand how existing inequalities are exacerbated in crises and whether equality law has the tools to understand and address this contingency. Experience during the Covid - 19 crisis shows that the pandemic has acted as a catalyst for 'exponential inequalities related to racism xenophobia sexism homophobia transphobia ageism and ableism. Yet the field of equality law (which is meant to be addressing such discrimination or inequality) has had little immediate relevance in mitigating these exponential inequalities. This is despite the fact that countries like the UK have a rather recent and state - of - the - art legislation in the field namely the Equality Act 2010. Exponential Inequalities offers readers an understanding of how these inequalities came to be and how crises such as the global pandemic the climate emergency or the economic downturn can exacerbate an already untenable situation. It illuminates both the structural and the conceptual as well as the practical and doctrinal difficulties currently experienced in equality law and discusses whether or not equality law even has the tools to both understand and then address this contingency. Written by a team of internationally recognized experts Exponential Inequalities provides a comparative perspective on the functioning of equality laws across a range of contexts and jurisdictions and represents an essential read for scholars and policy makers alike.
