Research Expertise

Description

My research interests lie in the field of social reproduction and inequality, where I use primarily Bourdieusian theoretical and methodological approaches (Geometric Data Analysis, Multiple Correspondence Analysis and Principal Components Analysis) to uncover latent dimensions in social space (e.g. forms of capital, modes of reproduction). I also have an interest in the political economy of accumulation, which I study from a Marxist/Gramscian perspective.
