Bildungsexpansion, soziale Klasse und die Wahl von Latein als Strategie der Distinktion

2021

In times of educational expansion, privileged families are looking for new strategies of distinction.

Research note: The COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on scientific work in German sociology

2021

Immediately after the peak of the first COVID-19 wave in Germany, we surveyed in professors and postdoctoral researchers in the field of German sociology in May 2020 to investigate how their work is constrained by these measures. In this research note, we present the results of this survey. They show that the position in the sociological field as well as demographic factors affect the degree to which sociologists feel constraine…
