In this seminar, Thijs Bol will talk about the role of randomness in establishing success and failure in society, with a specific focus on education. To what extent do we have influence over where we end up in society, and in what ways can randomness affect inequality? In this presentation he will talk about his general perspective on the drivers of inequality, but will then zoom in on education: to what extent do children have an influence over where they’ll end up in the education system, and what does this tell us about inequality in education?
