My new article in European Sociological Review (@europeansocreview.bsky.social) examines how class-based network segregation and national-level inequality shape support for redistribution, using data from 32,717 individuals across 31 countries.

How are contemporary cleavage structures stabilized in times of declining mass social and political organizations?

In this new paper with @davidattewell6.bsky.social @bjpols.bsky.social, we suggest that homogeneous social (educational) networks provide part of the answer.

5/ Overall, redistributive attitudes are shaped not only by class position, but also by the composition of social networks and by structural inequality.
Network segregation matters most in contexts of low to moderate inequality.
November 25, 2025 at 7:11 PM
4/ National inequality significantly moderates these associations. In highly unequal countries, class differences in redistributive preferences narrow:
Working-class support stays stable with homogeneous networks, while service-class support increases redistributive preferences.
November 25, 2025 at 7:11 PM

These patterns reflect distinct relational experiences:
Working-class networks expose individuals to greater economic vulnerability, reinforcing redistributive preferences.
Service-class networks strengthen class, increasing distance from those in despair, reducing demand for redistribution.
November 25, 2025 at 7:11 PM

Micro-level findings (Figure 1):
Within the working class, having predominantly same-class networks is associated with higher support for redistribution.
Within the service class, homogeneous networks are linked to lower support.

New paper out in @sociologicalsci.bsky.social with @marckeuschnigg.bsky.social and Peter Hedström! We identify a social-influence mechanism that widens individuals' behavioral repertoires and breaks the link between individuals' initial preferences and the collective outcomes they bring about.

In this new study, Kenneth Nelson and I find that higher social assistance - which raises the income floor for the most disadvantaged - can strengthen public support for ambitious but regressive climate measures like fossil fuel taxes.
