Am so super excited to be co-organising this conference with Annette in Boston next March. Please submit an abstract if this appeals. LSE Inequalities LSE Sociology. Hope to see you there!

Thank you so much @delval_anne for organising this retreat with the awesome colleagues working on elites from OBELIS in the mountains, very close to where I grew up as a child (in the video you can see the Swiss elite battle cows, or "queens" are we call them here)

Interested to know how Bourdieu meets Goffman in elite studies? Look at our new paper w/ @benz_pierre Pedro Araujo Michael A. Strebel (@[email protected]) where we investigated the front and the back stage of elite power in the 3 main Swiss cities through MCA and other sophisticated methods

Not surprising, actually! The tendency goes beyond sociology to education, political sciences, economics and psychology - and much beyond Switzerland! It is a global trend. Thanks a lot!
