Dear RSF:
Please join us for a Guest Seminar next Wednesday, October 1, at 11 in the library and on Zoom by sociologist and political scientist Leslie McCall from the CUNY Graduate Center entitled “If Not Government, then What? A Three-part Typology of Redistributive Preferences.”
McCall is Presidential Professor of Sociology and Political Science at the CUNY Graduate Center and Associate Director of the Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality, CUNY Graduate Center.
She holds a Ph.D. and MA in Sociology from the University of Wisconsin, Madison as well as a BA in Computer Science and Economic Development Studies from Brown University.
McCall studies public opinion about inequality, opportunity, and related economic and policy issues; trends in actual earnings and family income inequality; and patterns of intersectional inequality. She is the author of The Undeserving Rich: American Beliefs about Inequality, Opportunity, and Redistribution (Cambridge University Press, 2013) and Complex Inequality: Gender, Class, and Race in the New Economy (Routledge, 2001). Her research has also been published in a wide range of journals and edited volumes and supported by the National Science Foundation, the Russell Sage Foundation, Demos: A Network of Ideas and Action, the Center for the Study of Democratic Politics at Princeton University, and the Graduate Center’s Advanced Research Collaborative. She was formerly at Northwestern University, where she was a professor of sociology and political science (courtesy), as well as a faculty fellow at the Institute for Policy Research.
