Ha-Joon Chang (Economics, University of Cambridge): The Political Economy of Parasite
In this talk, Ha-Joon Chang will use the first ever non-English-language winner of the Academy Award for Best Picture, Parasite, by Bong Joon-ho, in order to analyse the political economy of inequality in today’s South Korea. Behind the socio-economic ills depicted in the movie, Chang will argue, lies the history of Korea over the last two generations that first created a relatively equal society with high social mobility and optimism for the future and then an increasingly unequal society with falling social mobility and despair and hopelessness for many. Particular attention will be paid to the interactions between the economic structure, the regulatory regime, the welfare state, and the education system that have generated the uniquely Korean dynamic of inequality and conflicts that is so brilliantly portrayed in Parasite.

Dear RC28 Members
This week I have 4 announcements.
1. Winners of the RC28 Significant scholarship award 2020
The 2020 RC28 Significant scholarship award is won by Florian Hertel and Olaf Groh-Samberg for their article ‘The relation between inequality and intergenerational class mobility in 39 countries’ published in the American Sociological Review in 2019. Congratulations!
Each year RC28 awards a prize to an article of Significant Scholarship in Social Stratification that has been published in the previous three years. The criterion for the award is the significance, rigor, and novelty of the article’s contribution to scholarship in social stratification. This year we received 10 nominations. A committee consisting of Hanna Ayalon, Markus Gangl and Benjamin Jarvis selected the three best articles and the board of RC28 decided on the winner.
The winning article describes the relationship between inequality and intergenerational class mobility in a large number of countries. It argues that for this relationship we should look at interclass inequality instead of inequality in general. Indeed a negative relationship is found between interclass inequality and intergenerational mobility. The article then continues with exploring how different mobility patterns are affected by interclass inequality.
Who won the 2020 award was announced at RC28’s virtual conference on 18-8-2020. The award comes with a sum of 1,000 US dollars and a plaque that will be handed over to the winners as soon as the circumstances allow us to physically meet again.

2. RC28 Conferences in Turku, Finland, and LSE, UK
Given the situation of COVID-19, RC28 board and the organizers of the Turku meeting have decided to cancel the meeting in August but hold the Turku meeting on June 2-4, 2021. The organizers of the LSE conference, which was originally scheduled to take place Spring 2021, have generously agreed to postpone the LSE meeting to Spring 2022. The exact date for the LSE meeting has not been determined yet. We thank both organizers in Turku and LSE for their generosity and flexibility to organize the RC28 conference.
Here is the announcement from the Turku meeting organizers:
Dear all,
We are sorry to inform you that the RC28 2020 Meeting in Turku is cancelled. While the corona situation in Finland looks fairly good at this time (19 May 2020), there are still too many uncertainties involved in organising the meeting in late August, both in terms of health and traveling concerns. This is of course a huge disappointment and we are sorry for the inconveniences this has caused for everyone. All of you who have already registered will soon be provided guidelines on how to be refunded.
However, we are extremely happy to announce that the RC28 Spring Meeting 2021 will be organized in Turku on June 2-4, 2021!
Both the theme and the keynote line-up remain the same. The title of the conference is “Accumulation and compensation of inequalities” and the plenaries will be provided by Fabrizio Bernardi, Tom DiPrete, Ariel Kalil, Michelle Jackson, Olli Kangas and Anu Partanen. We are grateful for the support of the RC28 board and the London RC28 Meeting organisers for making this possible. The London meeting will be organised in 2022.
RC28 Spring Meeting 2021 at the University of Turku is considered a new conference. This means that those of you who have been accepted to the 2020 meeting will need to reapply. The preliminary schedule for the 2021 meeting is as follows:
Abstract deadline: 30.11.2020
Acceptance: 31.1.2021
Travel award application deadline: mid-February
Travel award notification for winners: early March
Early bird registration deadline: mid-March
Final registration deadline: late May
Conference: 2-4.6.2022
This message is sent directly to all those who have submitted their abstract or registered to the now cancelled 2020 meeting. We appreciate it if you can inform the non-registered co-authors of this development.
If there are any further questions, please contact us: rc28@utu.fi. Also remember to follow our website https://rc28turku.utu.fi/ and twitter account @RC28_Turku for any further updates.
Stay happy and healthy, we hope to see you all in Turku, June 2021!

Topic description: Populist nationalist politics have played a growing role in a wide range of democracies in recent years. These populist and nationalist successes among racial and ethnic majority populations have often been accompanied by changes in formal social policies and an increase in informal hostilities targeted at racial and ethnic minorities. We invite theoretically and empirically rigorous examinations of the ways in which these political developments impact racial and ethnic inequalities. We are particularly interested in contributions focusing on socioeconomic inequalities, including but not limited to educational inequalities, inequalities in the labor market, inequalities in access to welfare state programs, and inequalities in health and well-being.

RC28 Significant Scholarship Award
Dear RC28 Members
The RC28 board makes one award annually to recognize an article of Significant Scholarship in Social Stratification that has been published in the three years prior to the year when the award is made. For example, for the 2020 award articles appearing in journal issues from
2017-2019 are eligible. The criterion for the award is the significance, rigor, and novelty of the article's contribution to scholarship in social stratification. The RC28 Significant Scholarship Award comes with a sum of 1,000 US dollars. If there are multiple authors, the sum is divided equally among them.
In order to be eligible, the article must have been presented prior to publication at one of the RC28 meetings or the RC28 sessions of the World Congress, and the fact of its presentation must be acknowledged in the published version of the article or the author should provide other forms of proof (such as a copy of the program).
The award shall be made by the RC28 Board, which will decide upon the recipient at the Spring RC28 meeting. The recipient of the 2020 award will be announced and the award will be delivered at the 2020 ISA Forum of Sociology meeting in Porto Alegre. The last award was presented to Benjamin Jarvis and Xi Song in Princeton in August, 2019.
The Board will solicit nominations for the award and consider all nominations received by February 1 for that year's award. Nominations should include a full citation of the article and a brief statement as to why the nominating individual considers the article to merit the award. Nominations will be submitted to the RC28 vice-president, who will compile the nominations and deliver them to the subcommittee appointed by the Board for consideration. Nominations are accepted only from RC28 members. Self-nominations are permitted.
Please submit your nomination for the 2020 award by 1 February 2020 to

Comparative Perspectives on Social Indicators
We propose to receive contributions that address comparative research in the study of social reality, focusing on the construction and use of social indicators in comparative research among countries. Contributions must be applied studies or methodological reflections (either in a quantitative, qualitative or mixed perspective), but with a clear comparative focus and with empirical bases.
