"Harvard sociology professor Michèle Lamont is spending this year working on a book she has tentatively titled “Recognition Globally.” Lamont, a globally-acclaimed cultural sociologist, studies morality, group boundaries, and inequality across different societies. For “Recognition Globally,” Lamont will investigate the similarities and differences between political recognition, environmental recognition, and recognition at work. She hopes that analyzing different kinds of recognition will help us understand how to foster a more inclusive society. To achieve this goal, Lamont will be conducting hundreds of interviews with working-class youth, indigenous groups, and high-tech creators across North America, Micronesia, and Europe." - Oriana Shi, OCW
