The DIGCLASS team is pleased to announce a call for innovative contributions to an international workshop on social stratification and inequality research in the context of the digital revolution to be held in Seville on 4-5 December 2023.

The DIGCLASS team at the Centre for Advanced Studies (Joint Research Centre – European Commission) in sunny Seville is pleased to announce an international workshop titled "Social Class Analysis in the Digital Age: New Approaches and Perspectives". This workshop aims to explore innovative contributions to social stratification and inequality research in the context of the digital revolution.

We welcome submissions from researchers across various disciplines, including but not limited to economists, sociologists, and political scientists, studying the following themes:

  1. Theoretical and empirical approaches to study the class structure amid changing technologies (e.g., digitalisation, automation) and the drivers of inequality.
  2. Refinement and modernisation of existing tools for analysing class structure.
  3. Implications of new technologies for employment and power relations at the workplace.
  4. Analysis of the intergenerational reproduction of socioeconomic inequalities.
  5. The links between social class position, life chances (e.g., health, education, wealth), and political attitudes (e.g., redistribution, voting).
  6. Identifying and assessing new social protection policies to tackle changing class structures, technology, and inequality drivers.
