Rogers Brubaker is Distinguished Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Los Angeles, where he has taught since 1991. He is currently the UCLA Foundation Chair.\u00a0Brubaker has written widely on social theory, immigration, citizenship, nationalism, ethnicity, race, gender, populism, and \u2013 most recently \u2013 digital hyperconnectivity. His first book explored the idea of rationality in the work of Max Weber, while his essays on Pierre Bourdieu helped introduce Bourdieu to an English-speaking audience. His next two books analyzed European nationalism in historical and comparative perspective.\u00a0Citizenship and Nationhood in France and Germany<\/a><\/u><\/em>\u00a0(1992) sought to explain the sharply differing ways in which citizenship has been defined\u00a0vis-\u00e0-vis<\/em>\u00a0immigrants in France and Germany and helped establish what has since become a flourishing field of citizenship studies;\u00a0Nationalism Reframed: Nationhood and the National Question in the New Europe<\/a><\/u><\/em>(1996) compared contemporary East European nationalisms with those of the interwar period, both emerging after the breakup of multinational states into would-be nation-states.\u00a0\u00a0Subsequently, in a series of analytical essays, many of them collected in\u00a0Ethnicity without Groups<\/a><\/u><\/em>\u00a0(2004), Brubaker critically engaged prevailing analytical stances in the study of ethnicity, race, and nationalism and sought to develop alternative analytical resources.\u00a0\u00a0These informed his collaborative book\u00a0Nationalist Politics and Everyday Ethnicity in a Transylvanian Town<\/a><\/u><\/em>\u00a0(2006), which examined the everyday workings of ethnicity in a setting of highly charged ethnonational conflict. His most recent book,\u00a0Hyperconnectivity and Its Discontents<\/a><\/u><\/em>\u00a0(Polity, 2022) treats digital hyperconnectivity as a \u201ctotal social fact.\u201d Brubaker holds a PhD from Columbia in Sociology, an MA in Social and Political Thought from the University of Sussex (UK) and an BA from Harvard University in Social Studies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
