Course content
The course starts out with an overview of recent developments in class and inequality research with a focus on theory, methodology and empirical applications. Rather than treating old and new theory and models as fixed we are interested in exploring the possibilities to expand the theoretical vocabulary and methodologies associated with analysis of social class, power and inequality. The course should stimulate the course participants to creativity and independence in their own research. The course is set up as a mix of lectures and workshops where course participants have the opportunity to problematize and develop questions in their own dissertation projects.
