Nominator's project description
| Professor Donald Tomaskovic-Devey is one of the most eminent sociological experts in workplace and labor market inequality. His aim is to formulate an empirically verifiable theory of social inequality focusing on important factors such as social environment, education, mobility and income, and identifying the causes and individual and social consequences of social inequality. During his stay in Germany he will be working on his "relational theory of social inequality" and will be involved in expanding an international research network dedicated to analyzing social inequality. Professor Tomaskovic-Devey is hosted by Professor Stefan Liebig at the Department of Sociology at Bielefeld University and the Collaborative Research Center 882 (SFB 882) "From Heterogeneities to Inequalities" funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) at Bielefeld University. |
