Nora Waitkus
Professor of Sociology
I am a sociologist interested in socio-economic stratification in contemporary capitalist societies.
In my research I focus on exploring and explaining cross-national variations and the institutional drivers of wealth, asset and debt inequality. I am further studying class, housing inequalities, economic elites, and redistribution using (comparative) longitudinal household surveys, media data and survey experiments. In my ERC Starting Grant project SOCDEBT, I uncover the social stratification and moral evaluations of household debt in comparative perspective. More information will be available here soon.
