Welcome to another public lecture hosted by the Classes and Elites Research Seminar.

Has this something to do with the understanding of class or the use of the class concept in research? Can the sociological research on this topic be improved?

The classes and elites research seminar invites two prominent scholars of class analysis, Kim Weeden and Janne O. Jonsson, to address these questions based on the theoretical framework of micro classes.
