Centre for the Study of Social Inequality
Understanding inequality to serve the greater good
The Centre for the Study of Social Inequality (CSSI) is a research centre founded and led by sociologists Teo You Yenn and Shannon Ang.
It was established in October 2024 and is housed under the School of Social Sciences at Nanyang Technological University.
CSSI is the first research centre in Singapore devoted to the study of inequality. Its mission is two-fold:
First, to promote and enhance multi-disciplinary understandings of inequality’s various forms and dynamics. |
 Second, to nurture public social science--attentive to the concerns of ordinary members of society, deliberate in making links between theoretical knowledge and practical solutions, and committed to making academic knowledge accessible to a broad public. |
