DESCRIPTION:This event is part of CIDRAL's Spring 2017 programme 'Precari
 ty'.\n\nMike Savage (Martin White Professor of Sociology\, London School
  of Economics) will deliver a lecture entitled 'The Politics of Social I
 nequality in the 21st Century' followed by a roundtable discussion.\n\nF
 ocusing on his research on the Great British Class Survey and the Nation
 al Child Development Survey\, Mike will discuss the changing nature of s
 ocial inequality in the UK. He will argue that conventional class based 
 approaches focusing on the tensions between capital and labour need to b
 e supplanted by attention towards a 'politics of accumulation'\, where i
 ssues of class\, gender\, family\, community and race intersect in power
 ful ways. He will show how this perspective allows us to register the si
 gnificance of the pulling away of the elite and the blurring of class bo
 undaries in the middle reaches of the social structure. He will also exp
 lore how these changes are associated with the rise of political populis
 m and nationalism\, and reflect on the remaking of virulent forms of cla
 ss politics which are likely to intensify in the coming years.\n\n
