Deep dives
Friend preferences and their impact on segregation
The podcast episode explores the topic of friend preferences and how they can contribute to patterns of segregation. Sociologist Swa Chang discusses her research on friend choices, which shows that people tend to form friendships with others who share similar racial, social, and cultural backgrounds. These friend preferences, while meaningful and beneficial in some ways, can also reinforce inequalities and limit interactions between different groups. Segregation in friendship networks can have ripple effects on prejudice, opinions, educational outcomes, and employment opportunities.
