Har­vard so­ci­ol­o­gist Michéle La­m­ont was a guest at DeZ­IM and Cir­cle U.

In her talk, Michèle Lamont presented her book as well as ongoing collaborative research. She addressed specifically:

• how young American and British workers are fighting for political recognition in the 'two Manchesters';

• how Indigenous peoples in Canada and Micronesia are striving for secure jobs and recognition through environmental justice;

• and generally, on challenges in struggles for social, political and cultural recognition.

Following Lamont’s input, Gökce Yurdakul and Claudia Matthes (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin & Circle U. University Alliance) commented on the presentation.
