30283 - Cultural Mechanisms of Inequality

Description

This session is dedicated to projects that examine how inequality is (re)created and resisted by people "doing things together." It will consider the actors, actions, institutions, and organizational environments that enable and constrain the reproduction of cultural hegemony. Projects in this session will consider the various impacts of these efforts on different actors, institutions, and organizations. This session is especially interested in projects that use previously ignored or excluded perspectives to make sense of how and why inequality is produced.
