The CRIS is pleased to organize, at Sciences Po in Paris, the 2023 Spring Meeting of the ISA Research Committee 28 "Social Stratification", on May 24-26th, 2023.

Following the Call for Papers, launched at the end of 2022, we received more than 600 proposals worldwide, dealing with the main themes of Education and Social Inequality across the Life Course. 

This meeting is organized in partnership with the Center for Research in Economics and Statistics (CREST), the Groupe d’Étude des Méthodes de l’Analyse Sociologique de la Sorbonne (GEMASS), the French Institute for Demographic Studies (INED) and the Sciences Po - LIEPP.  

Keynote speakers:
- Aaron Reeves (Associate Professor of Evidence-Based Social Intervention and Policy Evaluation, Department of Social Policy and Intervention (DSPI), University of Oxford).
The chosen few: Why the British elite are not like everyone else and how they try to convince people
otherwise.

- Prof. Dr. Jutta Allmendinger (President of the WZB Berlin Social Science Center and Professor of Educational Sociology and Labor Market Research at the Humboldt University, Berlin), Change in Attitudes, Norms and the Perception of Others: A New Methodological Approach.

210 presentations were finally selected among speakers coming from 29 countries (Germans, Americans, French and British making up the leading quartet, but Japanese and Australians are also with us). We hope that the researchers will have fruitful exchanges, and that they enjoy their stay on the Sciences Po campus and their cruise dinner on the Seine.
