Social Stratification and Social Mobility
Course Outline How does social background affect the social position a person ultimately attains in life? How is inequality reproduced from one generation to the next? How has social mobility changed over time and across countries? What role does inequality in education play for social mobility? What are the main theories to explain inequality in education and social mobility (and lack of it) and its changes over time? These are the core overarching questions that will be addressed in this seminar. The focus therefore is on social background (social class of origin, parental education or parental socio-economic status) although gender and ethnic inequalities will be considered in the last meetings. In the seminar, we will discuss a mix of classic readings and more recent contributions. The aim of the seminar is: - to establish some basic facts (trends and patterns in social mobility and in inequality in educational outcomes) - to scrutinize main theories - to identify open questions and generate new ideas for term papers or thesis chapter
