Advanced Seminar
Mapping Inequalities across the life course
Carla Hornberg & Christian König
Information for students
Active participation” requires, first, that the participants complete the reading for each session and participate in the discussion and group work and, second, that each student submits an “open research question” (motivated and justified on one page) during the semester. For the final paper, students will be required to design a research project focusing on a topic within the field of social inequality from a comparative and/or life-course perspective. close
Comments
The seminar “Mapping inequalities across the life course” aims to reveal potential changes in the importance of different sources of inequality over the life course. In particular, we will explore the dynamic role of individual and spatial-contextual factors for shaping educational and labor market attainment, union formation and subjective well-being across three key stages of working life: (1) school-to-work transition, (2) mid-career trajectories, and (3) labor market exits. We will focus in particular on the role of spatial-contextual factors at the local, regional, and national level. This seminar will be conducted through weekly sessions dedicated to in-depth discussions of carefully selected readings to familiarize participants with key concepts, theoretical frameworks, and methodological approaches in social inequality research. Based on the discussions, participants will enhance their scholarly and methodological skills and develop a nuanced understanding of diverse conceptualizations of social inequality. It is therefore crucial that students come prepared by completing and thoroughly reading the assigned materials before each session. As the studies discussed are quantitative studies, an advanced knowledge in statistical methods is required. close
