Interrogating inequality around the globe

The Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association in New York brought together leading sociologists from around the world to discuss the field, focusing on “Interrogating Inequality.” Arne L. Kalleberg, Editor-in-Chief of Social Forces, was lucky enough to steal six sociologists 20 blocks south to Oxford’s New York office. He spoke to sociologists from South Korea, Brazil, Germany, and Israel shared their thoughts on the current state of sociological research, the global community of sociologists, and the state of inequality research in their home country.
