Pablo Perez’ article accepted by Critical Sociology
Pablo’s article, “The end of a traditional class distinction in neoliberal society: ‘White-collar’ and ‘blue-collar’ work and its impact on Chilean workers’ class consciousness” has been accepted by the journal Critical Sociology. Based on survey data and interviews with Chilean workers in different sectors, Pablo shows that white-collar employees are no less class conscious than the “traditional” proletariat.
Congrats, Pablo!
