Research in Social Stratification and Mobility, 23
Description
Research in Social Stratification and Mobility continues its tradition of publishing the best and most innovative research on the changing
landscape of social inequality the world over. This issue focuses on different dimensions of social closure and their relationship to
social inequality processes, including the changing role that education plays in sorting people into favorable and unfavorable labor
market positions across a global diversity of cultural settings. This issue also examines the fluid boundaries of race and ethnicity
in contentious political settings, relationships between attitudes and collective action, and the role that technology and political
context plays in promoting economic development and well-being. These topics and the research methodologies they represent display the
vitality of social science research dealing with social stratification and the wide array of methods, contexts, and policies that directly
affect the life chances of most of the world's peoples. This issue also marks a continuation of the ties developed between RSSM and the
Social Stratification and Mobility section of the International Sociological Association (RC-28). This collaboration promises to promote
and disseminate social inequality research throughout the world through an established network of distinguished international contributors
and commentators.
