Ungdom vokser opp i ulike klassemiljøer og sosialiseres dermed inn i politiske forskjeller. Det ser vi tydelig i skolevalgsresultater i en sosialt delt by som Oslo.

Crucially, all these forms of critique coexist and often do not congeal into coherent left- or right-wing political worldviews: reacting to specific moral violations, the same workers will criticize politicians, the greedy rich, welfare scroungers, foreigners, bosses, and landlords.

In terms of political representation, workers critique forms of political inequality and political exclusion: Politicians, as part of the upper class, only serve the upper class; and politics is a self-referential sphere closed to non-experts.

In the domain of recognition, workers criticize violations of a hierarchy of deservingness whereby productive "makers" such as themselves are devalued vis-à-vis unproductive "takers"; as well as a devaluation of manual versus non-manual work. Both are based on a violated sense of "producers' pride".

In terms of material distribution, workers critique injustices of social polarization (elites pull away while normal people are left behind); overexploitation (bosses maximize profit at workers’ expense), and market pressures (systemic competition squeezes everyone).

Under these conditions, we show (re: EP Thompson, Axel Honneth, Barrington Moore) that the dominant form of workers' consciousness is a moral sense of injustice triggered by broken promises and hidden injuries. Its basic form is that of a protest against violations of an implicit social contract.

OK, a🧵: Our new paper studies workers' political consciousness in times of class demobilization.
We show there's more to workers' politics than right-wing resentment. Listening to workers, we reconstruct their moral critiques of money, power & recognition.

I hope the relevant anonymous author will, in some way, appreciate that I brought their paper with me in a canoe capsize today. Cue wordplay on «deep dive» into their argument.

NEW BLOG: In my new paper, I map 26 questions on environmental attitudes in social space. I challenge three accounts of the classed nature of environmentalism: the prosperity thesis, ecological distinction, and eco-habitus.

Why is environmentalism class divided?
My new paper in The British Journal of Sociology maps attitudes to green issues in the social space of economic and cultural capital. Spoiler: it’s not just about being rich.

Super excited to present my paper on how political issue priorities have shifted in social space over the past ~25 years. Features graphs like this. (Starry sky background because @enlar.bsky.social said these plots look like constellations).

Israeli military begins ‘extensive’ ground operation as 135 killed in Gaza
Israel continues to unleash its bloodbath in the enclave, rendering all public hospitals in north Gaza ‘out of service’.

Just got a paper accepted (expect to be harassed about it briefly). The publisher nudged me to make a video abstract. Do people actually do those? Don’t think I’ve ever watched one, but it sounds like it might be a good idea? Seen any good ones, or got thoughts?

I’ll be at #britsoc25 to present this and attend as many interesting sessions as I can – happy to meet for a coffee if you’re around and want to chat about class, culture or politics.
Will I see you at the British Sociological Association @britsoci.bsky.social conference? Presenting a new paper on the changing relationship between socio-political preferences and social space over a quarter of a century. Might include graphs like this one! #britsoc25 #sociology #class #politics
