Realising the Power of Systems Thinking in Project Management
By Gary Smith
The Ronald F. Inglehart Honorary Lecture 2023
Dear WVSA members, subscribers, and friends,
In 2022, the WVS Association introduced The Ronald F. Inglehart Honorary Lecture to commemorate the memory and scientific legacy of the Founder of the World Values Survey project Prof. Ronald F. Inglehart. We are delighted to announce that the 2023 lecture will be read by Prof. Amaney Jamal who will talk on “The Global Segregation of the Poor“. The lecture will take place on Friday, December 8, 2023 at 9.00 AM EST and will be conducted over Zoom. Attendance is free of charge. Video will be available after the event.
The Global Segregation of the Poor
How economic segregation continues to increase despite the obvious potential threats to capital? Further, why is segregation growing in this historical period? And what are the underlying structural conditions that contribute to these rising levels of economic segregation? Using a variety of data, including night-light satellite-based segregation scores, census data from the US and UK, and public opinion data from the Middle East and the US, Amaney Jamal demonstrates that societies that have a racialized cleavage are more likely to be economically segregated. Structurally, legacies of racialization facilitate the processes and infrastructure underlying the economic segregation of both minority and non-minority poor individuals. The author argues that social psychological mechanisms, based on the theory of ‘downward social comparison’, reinforce dominant group advantage over minorities. In racialized settings, these psychological processes help sustain the segregation equilibrium and reduce the probability of collective action against the elite. The author challenges the view that economic segregation is a natural byproduct of growing levels of inequality and forces us to contend with the economic consequences of racialized hierarchies across the globe.

Her other books include, Of Empires and Citizens and her co-edited volume Arab Americans Before and After 9/11. Jamal’s articles have appeared in the American Journal of Political Science, Journal of Politics, Comparative Political Studies, Journal of Conflict Resolution, Comparative Politics, Perspectives on Politics, International Migration Review, and other venues. Her article “Does Islam Play a Role in anti-Immigrant Sentiment: An Experimental Approach.”, in Social Science Research 2015 won the 2016 Louis Wirth Best Article Award: American Sociological Association, International Migration Section. Jamal is the co-Principal of the Arab Barometer Project (Winner of the Best Dataset in the Field of Comparative Politics (Lijphart/Przeworski/Verba Dataset Award 2010).
