WiSe 19/20: Social Stratification - insights from different countries
Paula Protsch / Heike Solga
Comments
Do the processes, characteristics, and consequences of social inequalities in education and labor markets follow similar patterns across the world? Until recently most studies focused on EU and Anglo-Saxon countries. In this seminar, we will examine causes and consequences of social inequality for individuals’ lives in OECD and non-OECD countries as well as in a country-comparative perspective. Participants will get acquainted with key concepts, theories, and quantitative methodological approaches. We will pay specific attention to quantitative research on inequalities in education and labor markets. This seminar will be dedicated to in-depth discussions of the week’s readings, including the statistical analyses to improve students’ scholarly skills and their understanding of the tools necessary to do research in the field of social stratification. Thus, it is essential that the readings are completed and thoroughly read before each session. For the final paper, students will be asked to design a research project on a topic in the field of social stratification.
