Description

This seminar will focus on selected research areas in cultural sociology and sociology more broadly that may be helpful for developing our understanding of the cultural processes of production of social inequality. Topics will include: microsociology; the production of social and symbolic boundaries; moral schemas; cultural scripts in the construction of stigma and status; new developments in the study of identity, ethno-racial and class cultures; destigmatization, recognition and evaluation; and the conceptualization of contexts and explanations in cultural sociology.
