Inequality and social stratification in Russia during the Putin regime: From market transition to war on Ukraine Sociology Compass (IF 2.538) Pub Date : 2024-03-05 Theodore P. Gerber, Vladimir Gimpelson
The collapse of the USSR in late 1991 inspired social science research on levels, patterns, and trends in inequality within Russia, due to theoretical interest in how market transition affects social stratification. The start of the Putin regime in 2000 marked a new era in Russia's post‐Soviet political economic trajectory: in contrast to the 1990s, the economy first took off, then stagnated, while

Unwilling trust: Unpacking the assumption of trust between sexual misconduct reporters and their institutions in UK higher education Sociology Compass (IF 2.538) Pub Date : 2024-03-02 Erin R. Shannon, Anna Bull
This article explores trust in organisations by analysing interview data from students and staff who have disclosed or reported gender‐based violence and harassment (GBVH) to their higher education institution in the UK since 2016. GBVH contributes to gender inequality in higher education (HE), and increased reporting of it may not only help prevent GBVH, but also improve gender equality by helping

Distinctive features of the on-demand work platforms made it theoretically improbable for workers to organize and for collective forms of protest to emerge. Their business model and work arrangements spatially isolate and socially individualize workers, subjectivizing them as competing micro-enterprises rather than co-workers. However, faced with the flood of the platforms on a global scale, collective

Racial disparities without racism: Some conceptual & analytical considerations Sociology Compass (IF 2.538) Pub Date : 2023-12-20 Deadric T. Williams
Most studies on racial inequality begin with a series of statistics highlighting racial variations in an outcome of interest to illustrate how wide (or narrow) the gaps between racialized groups are. This approach is standard in racial inequality research because emphasizing racial differentials between racialized groups helps researchers frame inequality as a social problem. Scholars across academic
