1999

THE MEETINGS OF 1999: WARSAW AND MADISON

During 1999, the RC held the Spring Meeting in Warsaw, and the Summer Meeting in Madison. The Warsaw meeting was held on 5-8 of May under the theme: "Political, Economic and Cultural Contexts of Stratification and Mobility". It was organized and graciously hosted by Krzysztof Zagorski, (Public Opinion Research Center, Warsaw) with the cooperation of the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology and the Polish Academy of Sciences. Over 70 papers were presented. The social highlight of the meeting was the trip, on a beautiful day, to Krakow a magnificent center of Polish culture.

On August 12-14 we met in Madison, Wisconsin. The meeting, under the theme "Social Stratification At Century's End: International Perspectives" was organized by Adam Gamoran and colleagues at the Department of Sociology,

and was held in the Pyle Center. Approximately 45 papers were presented, as well as some very elaborate commentaries by several conscientious discussants. The meeting had several highlights including a touching welcoming speech by William H. Sewell who shared with us his memories of RC28 from the 50s, 60s and 70s.

LOOKING AHEAD TO THE YEAR 2000: LIBOURNE AND CALGARY

The RC was founded in Paris in 1950. Fifty years later, in May 2000, we will return to France to celebrate our Jubilee. Our summer meeting will be held at the University of Calgary, Canada in August 2000. Information on both meetings follows.

Libourne - May 11-14 2000. The Libourne meeting, organized by Yannick Lemel and colleagues, will be held in 2000 from May 11 to 14 at the Libourne Conference Center of INSEE, the French Statistical Office. Arrival and registration will take place on the evening of May 10. The RC 28 conference will be co-sponsored by the Department of Sociology of the INSEE Research Center, the French National Center for Scientific Research and the French National Science Foundation of Political Science.

The general theme of the conference is: THE 50th ANNIVERSARY OF RC28: ACHIEVEMENTS AND OUTLOOKS. For this special anniversary meeting we seek papers that report new research on the topics central to RC28’s mission: inequality, mobility and education. We wish to stress comparative work, and papers that compare two or more countries are especially encouraged. Papers that synthesize results of research and papers that report advances in theory or method are also welcome. This includes substantive aspects as well as technical ones, such as statistical methods, nomenclatures and types of data. Finally, we welcome studies on changes in social stratification that are related to macro-social changes such as globalization, individualization, the diffusion of high technology, etc.

A three-day conference with a mix of plenary and parallel sessions can accommodate about 50 papers. In addition, at its meeting in Warsaw, the Board has decided to limit the number of papers presented, in any future meeting, to 50 and reduce the number of parallel sessions. We expect that this special anniversary meeting might very well attract more than 50 papers, forcing us to implement the Board’s policy. Therefore, we ask that authors submit only one paper. If the limit is reached, some papers may have to be listed in the proceedings but not given a time slot on the program for presentation. Papers that will not be presented will be selected from among the papers about one country at one point in time. One-country/one-time papers that hold special methodological interest and ones that report research from countries not included in recent RC28 meetings will be exempt from the preference for comparative work. Our Intent is to give as many people as possible an opportunity to present. Two papers that share one but not all co-authors advances that goal, so both would probably be included in the program (if both are comparative). We ask that RC members please adhere to the spirit of inclusion that informs the Board’s policy.

Send-in the registration form and an abstract by 30 December 1999. Letter of acceptation will be sent by February 15, 2000. Papers that reach the organizers by March 15 will be photocopied and distributed during the Meeting to all participants. Participants who are not able to send their papers before the deadline are expected to bring enough copies (at least 60) to the conference.

The registration fee will be collected at the start of the conference:

US $ 60 for participants from "high income countries" ("A" group as defined by the ISA), US $40 for participants from "low income countries" ("B" and "C" group as defined by the ISA), A US $ 40 surcharge for the RC28 non-members will be collected. The fee includes the visit of Saint-Emilion and the Bordeaux vineyards.

A large number of applications are expected. As a great number of business and social events are expected every where in France at this time of the year 2000, accommodation could not be guaranteed to those registering after the deadline.

Calgary - August 18-20, 2000. The summer 2000 meeting of RC 28 will be held at the University of Calgary, Calgary, Canada and organized by Richard Wanner and colleagues. Calgary is a city of approximately 850,000 located in the foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. It is Canada’s oil and gas capital and houses the second highest concentration of corporate head offices in the country. Approximately 22 percent of Calgary’s population consist of immigrants from dozens of countries around the world, making for an interesting cultural mix and a lively restaurant scene. The conference dates permit those attending the ASA meetings in Washington, D.C. August 12-16 one-day for travel.

The theme for the conference is: “Changing Patterns of Social Stratification and Mobility on the Threshold of a New Millennium”. All papers on this and related topics are invited. Other planned features of the program include special sessions on several substantive topics (see below), trends in stratification research, and trends in stratification and mobility in Canada.

Any RC28 member organizing a comparative project is invited to hold a special session at the Calgary meeting dedicated to the project. Mariah Evans has already indicated that she will organize a session at the Calgary meeting on her comparative project on ethnic stratification.

One afternoon of the three-day meeting will be devoted to an excursion to an area of the Rocky Mountains called Kananaskis Country. Participants could spend the afternoon hiking, horseback riding, golfing, or relaxing in the village there, an evening barbecue at nearby Boundary Ranch serving as the conference banquet. A full-day excursion to the Banff/Lake Louise area on August 21 will also be available should a sunumber of conference participants indicate an interest.

Paper proposals and registration forms will be due April 1, 2000. Full papers ready for duplication will be due July 1. Those not providing full papers by that date must bring copies to the conference for distribution.

The registration fee is tentatively set at CAD$60.00 (approximately US$40.00), pending notification of national and local funding applied for.

In part because of the global nature of the energy industry, Calgary International Airport receives daily direct flights from a large number of North American, European, and Asian destinations. Among the 22 airlines serving

Calgary are Air Canada, Canadian Airlines, United, American, Delta, British Airways, and Lufthansa. For further information consult: www.calgaryairport.com. Service to the Village Park Inn is available through Red Top Cabs for CAD$10.00 each way.

Rooms at the nearby Village Park Inn will be available at the conference rate of CAD$119.00 per night (approximately US$80.00). Inexpensive accommodation is available on campus. A dormitory room is priced at CAD$29.00 single, or CAD$19.00 per person for a shared room. Apartment-style accommodation ranges from CAD$26.00 to CAD$41.00 per person, depending upon the number of persons and the number of bedrooms. A limited number of conference suites for individuals or families are also available in the newly-opened Cascade Hall on campus at rates ranging from CAD$60 to CAD$120. (Note: All campus rates are for 1999 and subject to change by the conference date.)

Registration forms and further information on special sessions, travel, accommodation, and registration fee will be available by the end of December, 1999.

THE BOARD

The Board met on May 9, 1999 in Warsaw.

The following Board members Participated in the meeting: Michael Hout (President); Yossi Shavit (Secretary/ Treasurer); Shu- Ling Tsai; Peter Robert; Kryzysztof Zagorski; Wout Ultee; Yannick Lemel (organizer of the Libourne conference); Harry Ganzeboom (former Secretary/ Treasurer); Donald J. Treiman (former President).

The Board debated whether to offer an Honorarium to keynote speakers in future conferences, and decided – unanimously- against doing so.

The Board supports Yannick Lemel’s proposed theme for the Libourne conference (see above).

Harry Ganzeboom suggested that we should contact Jennifer Platt, who is interested in the ISA’s history, and invite her to write a document on RC28. Ganzeboom was authorized to contact Platt on the RC’s behalf.

After some deliberation it was agreed to limit the number of papers presented in the meetings of the year 2000 to 50, and that precedence will be given to comparative studies. This policy will be reconsidered towards 2001.

In addition to its formal meeting, the board conducted several consultations by email, and a brief meeting during the Madison conference, to discuss venues for coming conferences. We were very glad to accept an invitation by Dick Wanner to meet in Calgary in the summer of 2000, by Walter Müller to meet in Mannheim in April or May of 2001, and by Mike Hout, Martin Sanchez- Jankowski, Trond Petersen, and Sam Lucas, to meet in Berkeley in the summer of 2001.

TRAVEL AWARDS 1999

The board granted three travel awards during 1999. The recipients of Travel Awards to Warsaw were: Hayrie Erbas (Turkey) who presented a paper entitled "Class and differences in income and living conditions."; and Aziza Khazzoom (USA/Israel) who presented her paper "The impact of residential segregation and economic isolation on the development of ethnic inequality among Jews in Israel" . The recipient of Travel Award to Madison was Anjanette Nelson -Wally who co-authored the paper "The status attainment and social mobility of U.S. immigrants in the first half of the 20th century: The evidence from men in OCG II”.

COMPARATIVE RESEARCH PROJECTS

The RC28 on Social Stratification prides itself of a long and fruitful tradition of comparative studies. Here are abstracts of several recent, current and future comparative projects which are led by RC members:

Project: Self-Employment in Advanced Economies

Leaders: Richard Arum, Paolo Barbieri, Nigel Meager and Walter Mueller. The co-ordination of the project is located at the Mannheim Centre for European Social Research.

Abstract: A new cross-national comparative study is intended to provide insights into the character of "new forms" of self-employment and the determinants of the recent growth of entrepreneurial activity which can be observed in many advanced economies. In particular, the project is interested in the growth and the characteristics of different types of self-employment (professional, skilled or unskilled non-professional) and in the determinants of the various forms of self-employment in terms of social background, educational attainment and labor market experience. The study plans include a combination of country specific chapters, based on a common substantive and methodological approach and chapters integrating cross-national findings on specific issues. The country chapters will utilize longitudinal or retrospective data in order to estimate determinants of entry into and exit from self-employment. The selection of countries is expected to exhibit variation in both the magnitude and development of self-employment as well as in the institutional conditions relevant for the development of self-employment. The list of countries to be studied includes Australia, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom and the United States.

Project: Gender Equality and Inequality in Higher Education: International Trends and National Nuances.

Leaders: Karen Bradley (Western Washington University) and Maria Charles (University of California, San Diego)

Abstract: Although gender equality in higher education has been identified as an important goal by governments and organizations throughout the world, prevailing patterns of educational gender stratification have not yet been systematically examined in a comparative context. The proposed research aims to describe and to explain historical and international differences in women's representation in higher education in advanced industrial societies. We consider three distinct dimensions of equality: (1) overall female representation in tertiary education; (2) gender distributions across tertiary sectors (e.g., universities, two-year colleges, vocationally-oriented training institutes); and (3) gender distributions across programs of study. Patterns of cross-national variability are examined with respect to three sets of explanatory variables: (1) structural features of the national educational system; (2) structural features of the economy; and (3) the prevailing ideological climate, or degree of gender egalitarianism characterizing the national culture. Analyses cover 24 advanced industrial societies during the period between 1950 and 1995. The aggregate-level international and historical data employed are superior, in terms of comprehensiveness, level of detail, and comparability, to those used in any other previous research of this type. The project is also distinguished by its application of new log-linear modeling techniques to supplement traditional methodological approaches. This mitigates conceptual and methodological difficulties that have long hampered comparative segregation research.

Project: Couples, money and the process of individualisation

Leaders: Jutta Allmendinger and Wolfgang Ludwig-Mayerhofer in Munich, Capitolina Díaz Martínez in Oviedo and Björn Halleröd in Umeå.

Abstract: This new research project located at the Dept. of Sociolog, Munich University, investigates couples’ arrangements for money management in a comparative perspective (Germany [West and East], Spain and Sweden). It is part of a new special research unit Munich on „reflexive modernization“. The project aims at examining Ulrich Beck’s theory of individualization, which concerning the family claims that women’s increasing labor market participation leads to more female power and eventually to gender equality within families or couples. We look at how money is viewed, managed,controlled, distributed and consumed within couples, with couples defined as broadly as possible in order to account for new forms of relationships (such as „living together apart“). Because of the intricate nature of the topic, during the first years we will work mainly with qualitative methods. A first meeting of the project team has already demonstrated how difficult but also how exciting such an endeavour can be in a truly comparative perspective.

Project: HISMA & HISCO

Leaders: Marco van Leeuwen, International Institute for Social History, Amsterdam Ineke Maas, Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Berlin

Andrew Miles, Department of Modern History, University of Birmingham

Abstract: HISMA (Historical International Social Mobility Analysis) is a comparative study of social mobility patterns since1800. The following questions are central to the project:

1. What do long term trends in intergenerational, intragenerational and marriage mobility in western countries and regions look like?

2. Do western countries/regions differ with respect to the long-term trends in occupational and marriage mobility?

3. Are differences in these long-term trends systematically related to the timing and extent of industrialization, urbanization, educational expansion, and social policy?

4. Are differences in individual mobility chances systematically related to type of occupation (traditional versus modern), settlement type, urbanization, geographical mobility, and literacy?With Michel de Seve of the University of Lavale, we have so far carried out one pilot study, comparing nineteenth and twentieth century patterns of intergenerational mobility and fluidity in England, the Netherlands and Quebec.We will be moving on to develop other multilateral comparisons shortly, but have first to complete a comparative occupational coding project, which we call HISCO (Historical International Standard Classification of Occupations). This project has involved data and researchers from eleven countries. We are just finishing the final draft of a coding manual based on an adapted version of ISCO68 which can accommodate historical occupational titles from eight countries (Belgium, Canada, England, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden). We are also developing an electronic version of the manual.

Project: Occupational Sex Segregation in East and West Germany in the 1980s and 1990s: Levels, Patterns, Change.

Leaders: Rachel A. Rosenfeld (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA) and Heike Trappe (Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Berlin, Germany)

Abstract: In this comparative research project we focus on occupational sex segregation in East and West Germany before and after unification. In a first step we address two questions relying on population census and micro-census data. First: What was the level and nature of occupational sex segregation in the former East and West Germany in the decade before reunification?Second: How had East/West differences in occupational sex segregation changed by the end of the first decade after unification? In a next step we look at correlates and outcomes of occupational sex segregation in the two Germanys using life course data. By following a more narrow range of birth cohorts across their early work life, we hope to see how occupational segregation occurs and is maintained and how it is related to family formation. We also want to study the consequences of occupational sex segregation for employment outcomes and change.
