The analysis of social inequalities within countries and comparatively across countries is a core research field of sociology. Not least due to processes of globalization and regional (such as European) integration, however, scholars have raised the question of whether the nation state should continue to be the exclusive frame of reference for studying social inequalities, as people may be positioned within transnational or global relationships. Yet, sociological analyses of social inequalities at transnational and global levels remain incipient and scattered across different research fields. Against this background, the aim of this workshop is to bring together international sociologists from diverse theoretical and methodological backgrounds to contribute to the development of a research agenda on studying transnational and global inequalities. In particular, we seek to advance this agenda by leveraging recent conceptual innovations from cultural sociology, which have proven to be very productive for analyzing social inequalities within countries. We will ask how cultural practices and processes – like, for instance, categorization, valuation, and symbolic boundary making – contribute to the (re-)production of transnational and global inequalities.
