This looks very interesting!

NEW BLOG: In my new paper, I map 26 questions on environmental attitudes in social space. I challenge three accounts of the classed nature of environmentalism: the prosperity thesis, ecological distinction, and eco-habitus.

I love it! With low status differences people just become random and idiosyncratic live your life types :-)

I agree it is difficult to distinguish at the individual level. But "sour grapes" could be more common in less dynamic status markets. So if inequality is high and chances of social mobility is low then people are more likely to adapt and resign than in more egalitarian or dynamic situations?

Interesting! People could agree on a status hierarchy and not be status seeking because they think that they do not stand a chance to achieve that status. I understand that the King has higher status than me - and I know that it is unattainable. But that is likely compatible with your argument.

Antipolitical sentiment in the working class is not least a symptom of class demobilization. For our German case, we document a steep decline of working class organization, mobilization, political and discursive representation. Others have noted very similar trends across rich democracies.

OK, a🧵: Our new paper studies workers' political consciousness in times of class demobilization.

We show there's more to workers' politics than right-wing resentment. Listening to workers, we reconstruct their moral critiques of money, power & recognition.

I am honored to have been awarded an ERC Starting Grant towards my project "Governing elites since the dawn of modern democracy" (GETGOV).

It allows me to continue to advance this research agenda; the goal is to build a database on governing elites from 1789 and up to today + much more.

Our paper on clusters of schools across the UK is out.

We find five clusters: multi-racial & super-diverse middle & working-class schools of towns & cities, suburban white middle class schools, established elite schools & (post-)industrial white working class schools.
