Does class still matter? Webinar discussion with Beverley Skeggs and Andrew Sayer
This recording of a live Lancaster Sociology webinar on 28 July 2020 takes as its starting point the big question: 'Does class still matter?' Prof. Beverley Skeggs and Prof. Andrew Sayer provided their opening remarks on key dimensions of this question and then responded to a number of questions and comments shared by viewers.
The discussion touches upon debates about defining class, how class intersects with other aspects of identity such as gender and race, the moral implications of inequalities and symbolic economies, keeping Bourdieu relevant, public health, and what sociologists haven't paid enough attention to.
The event was hosted and produced by Dr. Allison Hui.
