Research in Economic Inequality and Resistance (EIR) focuses conceptually on asset inequality, neoliberal public finance, the economic impact of climate change, the relationship between populism and neoliberalism, and analysis of the attention economy.

Methodologically, we draw on a diverse range of approaches, including comparative analysis of migration policies, longitudinal studies on transnational family dynamics, social network analysis and quantitative data analysis of gender disparities in education and career expectations. Empirically, the research draws on Australian wealth data, migration policy studies in the Asia-Pacific, and cross-national datasets examining gender and social class influences on career paths.
