Culture, inequality, boundaries. Theoretical traditions and core texts

In this first pilot episode, we discuss the core themes of the course: how do culture and inequality relate? This meeting will discuss why and how this has become such a central theme in sociology and other disciplines (notably cultural studies, anthropology), how this relation this been theorized in various theoretical traditions (notable field theory, British cultural studies, and American cultural sociology); and how has this been empirically analyzed? Moreover, we will offer a first exploration of the continued relevance of these insights on culture and inequality for contemporary societies, and for the everyday life of (young) people today. Please note that this is a pilot version of our podcast and we are aware that the audio quality is not up to par. Please bear with us, as we think the conversation is worth your attention regardless, and please provide us with feedback.
